I used to believe that living a life of well-being meant eliminating negativity and creating balance in order to live in a state of calm, peace, and happiness.
What I learned throughout my wellness journey is that life has everything, nothing is constant, the emotional scale is sometimes tipped, and well-being is not a destination. Human life is filled with experiences that ignite a full range of emotions, test your capacity, challenge your strength, activate your resilience, inspire your talent. Well-being is tapping into your greatest source of power to make conscious choices that support your highest good. It is about navigating life with confidence and free will to live your sacred yes, every day.
Here’s a hypnotherapy script to help you understand that your well-being is not a constant state of Zen:
Induction
(Soft, calming music plays in the background)
“Welcome to this hypnotherapy session, where you’ll explore the concept of well-being and its relationship with your emotional state. Find a comfortable seated or lying position, close your eyes, and take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth.
Imagine yourself standing on a peaceful beach at sunset, feeling the gentle ocean breeze on your skin. With each breath, allow your body to relax and your mind to quiet.”
Deepening
“As you breathe in, imagine fresh, calming energy entering your body. As you breathe out, imagine any tension, stress, or doubts leaving your body. Repeat this process, allowing yourself to relax further with each breath.
Imagine a warm, soothing light beginning to fill your body, starting at the crown of your head. As this light travels down through your face, neck, and shoulders, it dissolves any remaining tension or resistance. This light continues to flow down through your arms, chest, abdomen, lower back, hips, legs, and finally, your toes.
You are now in a deep state of relaxation, where your subconscious mind is open and receptive to positive suggestions.”
Understanding Well-being
“Imagine yourself standing on a serene mountain path, surrounded by nature’s beauty. As you walk along this path, you notice that the scenery changes, and the terrain shifts. Sometimes it’s smooth, and sometimes it’s challenging.
This path represents your emotional journey, and it’s normal for it to ebb and flow. Your well-being is not a constant state of Zen; it’s a dynamic, ever-changing experience.
See that well-being is not about being in a constant state of calmness or happiness. It’s about being resilient, adaptable, and compassionate, even in the face of challenges.
You are not a fixed state of being; you are a dynamic, evolving individual, capable of navigating life’s ups and downs with ease and grace.”
Visualization
“Imagine yourself in different scenarios, experiencing various emotions. See yourself feeling happy, sad, angry, or fearful. Notice that each emotion arises, peaks, and subsides, like the waves of the ocean.
As you experience these emotions, remember that they are temporary and ever-changing. You are not your emotions; you are the observer, watching them arise and pass.
In this state, you understand that your well-being is not dependent on external circumstances. You are whole, complete, and deserving of love, care, and compassion, regardless of your emotional state.”
Affirmations
“Allow the following affirmations to sink deeply into your subconscious mind:
‘My well-being is not a constant state of Zen; it’s a dynamic experience.
I am resilient, adaptable, and compassionate, even in challenges.
I am not my emotions; I am the observer, watching them arise and pass.
I am whole, complete, and deserving of love, care, and compassion.
My well-being is not dependent on external circumstances; it’s an inner state.'”
Integration
“As you continue to breathe deeply, imagine integrating the insights and awareness from this experience into your daily life. See yourself navigating life’s challenges with ease, compassion, and resilience.
Remember, your well-being is not about achieving a specific state; it’s about embracing your humanity and being kind to yourself, no matter what.”
Counting Up
“When you’re ready, slowly begin to bring your attention back to your physical body. Take a few deep breaths, and as you exhale, imagine any remaining relaxation or calmness leaving your body.
Count slowly to yourself, from1 to5, and with each number, feel yourself becoming more alert and awake. When you reach5, take a deep breath in, and when you’re ready, slowly open your eyes.”
Take a deep breath in, and when you’re ready, slowly open your eyes.
