Imagine your vagus nerve as a vital bridge, connecting your brain to your heart, and facilitating the flow of positive emotions.
Here is a sample hypnotherapy script for Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) to help with treatment-resistant depression:
Induction
“Welcome to this hypnotherapy session, where you’ll learn to harness the power of your mind to alleviate treatment-resistant depression and improve your overall mood. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, allow your body to relax, starting from the crown of your head, down to your toes. Feel the tension melt away, like sand flowing down an hourglass.”
“As you breathe in, imagine fresh, calming air filling your lungs. Hold it for a moment… and exhale, allowing any stress or anxiety to leave your body. Repeat this process, feeling more relaxed with each breath.”
Deepening
“Imagine yourself standing in a peaceful meadow, surrounded by lush green grass and vibrant wildflowers. With each step, feel your body becoming heavier, your mind quieter, and your breath slower. Take 5 steps forward, and with each step, repeat the phrase ‘I am relaxing, I am calm, I am in control’.”
Vagus Nerve Stimulation Script
“Now, bring your attention to your vagus nerve, located in the base of your brain. Imagine a gentle, soothing blue light emanating from this area, spreading throughout your body. As this light radiates, it stimulates your vagus nerve, increasing the production of neurotransmitters that regulate mood, such as serotonin and dopamine.”
“Envision this blue light traveling down your spine, nourishing your entire nervous system, and calming any areas of distress. With each breath, feel this light absorbing any feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or despair, replacing them with a sense of calm, clarity, and hope.”
“Imagine your vagus nerve as a vital bridge, connecting your brain to your heart, and facilitating the flow of positive emotions. As you inhale, repeat the phrase ‘My vagus nerve is strong, my mood is lifting, and I am in control.'”
Depression Reduction Visualization
“Now, visualize your mood as a clouded sky. Imagine any feelings of depression or sadness as dark, stormy clouds. As you exhale, envision these clouds slowly parting, allowing the warm, gentle rays of sunshine to break through.”
“With each breath, the clouds become lighter, the sunshine brighter, and your mood more lifted. You are in control, and your body is responding to your mind’s gentle guidance.”
Positive Affirmations
“Repeat the following affirmations to yourself, allowing them to sink deeply into your subconscious mind:
* I am in control of my mood.
* My vagus nerve is strong, regulating my emotions.
* I am calm, capable, and confident.
* I trust my body’s natural ability to heal and recover.”
Counting and Awakening
“As you continue to breathe deeply, I’ll count from 5 to 1, and when I reach 1, you’ll slowly open your eyes, feeling refreshed, renewed, and more in control of your mood.
5… Your body is relaxed, your mind is calm.
4… Your vagus nerve is strong, regulating your emotions.
3… You are safe, protected, and in control.
2… Your mood is lifting, the clouds are parting.
1… Open your eyes, feeling refreshed and renewed.”
Remember to always work with a licensed healthcare professional before using hypnotherapy scripts, especially if you have a medical condition like depression.
