just allow yourself to focus on my words
to simply let yourself get
into a comfortable position
where you can simply
and easily
focus on my words
and relax
you can feel your muscles
starting to loosen
and let go
as you simply
drift
deeper and deeper
into my words
and as you do so...
I'd like you to imagine yourself
at the top of a staircase
The stairs are outdoors
on a day that is just perfect
whatever that means for you
you can feel the wind in your hair
and the breeze on your skin
you can hear trees rustling
and birds singing
so peaceful
to be here now
and as you let all of these sounds
and feelings
fill your mind
I want you to turn your focus
to the stairs
and simply allow yourself
to start to step
down.
deeper and deeper
with every step
you can feel your body
as your knee bends
and gravity starts to take you
only for your foot to catch you
maybe your a hard stepper
like i am
and your body hits with force
that softly shakes up your leg
into your body
maybe your a soft stepper
and you simply let your body
lower
to the stair
softly and gently
not so much as a ripple
through your body
maybe you're somewhere in between.
it's all unique to you...
no matter what way you step
every step
helps your mind and body
to focus more and more vividly
on the world around you
on the way you feel
in this place
every step you take
helps your mind to simply
sink
sink
sink
deeper and deeper
all the way down
into a nice
relaxing trance
finding that
every word
that you focus on
helps your mind to simply
let go
and sink
more and more deeply
and easily
stepping down
step
by
step
so easily
and deeply
till you reach the bottom now
at the bottom of the steps
is a path
the path starts out as hard sidewalk
and you feel yourself walking
little by litt
enjoying the scene around you
the sound of the birds singing
the wind blows
feeling the sun against your face
or the cool breeze
as it move through your hair
every step on the path
helps you to make the world
more and more real for you
more and more vivid
you start to notice
the smell of nature
maybe it's flowers
or the scent of pine needles
maybe you smell a hint of water
from a nearby beach
and notice for the first time
the waves crashing on the sands
in the distance
all the while simply walking down this path
more and more deeply
more relaxed with every word
with every step
as you walk
the path gently shifts
from a concrete sidewalk
to a nice
dirt path
relaxing and calming
as the trees
get closer and closer
to the path
you can feel the sun
and the sky
being obscured by the leaves
and hear them rustling above you
soothing away your thoughts
as you simply step
step
step
deeper and deeper
with every step
down the path.
and as you walk down the path
you come to a tree
a very special tree
large and full of leaves
this tree represents your mind
and every leaf
represents a thought
just let yourself take in the sight
of this beautiful tree
rustling in the wind
and start to notice
that the season is changing
around the tree
it's getting colder...
it's time for the tree
to go to sleep
to shed its leaves
and simply sink into a nice
deep
hibernation
for the winter
you can start to see your thoughts
the very leaves of the tree
one by one,
turning brown
or red
yellow
or orange
and then see them dry up
see them shrivel
and detach
it's ok
they will grow back
but for now
just let them go
one by one
into the breeze
you can feel your thoughts drifting away,
so easily
one by one
swirling in the wind
and drifting away
you can see the branches
the strong firm branches
starting to appear
as the leaves fade away
one by one
so easily into the wind
it's ok to let them go
just feel your thoughts
blow away
until there is only one thought left...
the entire tree
is completely bare
except for one
green leaf
one solitary thought
this trance
deep in you mind
just let yourself see the leaf
clearly in your mind
green and bright
strong and healthy
you can see the shape of the leaf
the structure
the little lines that run through the leaf
all perfectly visible to you now
deep in your mind
the only thought
that you have left
and now this leaf
this single thought
also breaks off the tree
but it stays green and bright
and swirls in the wind
you can feel it
see it riding the breeze
feeling how light
and free
that your body feels
as you spin easily
and gently
you can see the world around you
spinning slowly
and easily
as you simply sink
into the leaf
and feel it land
on a stream
the stream carries you
bobbing up and down
softly in the water
down the stream
hearing the gentle ripple
of the stream
as you float effortlessly
down the stream
floating along
in that last
single thought
doing so well now
so easy to let go
and simply feel yourself
floating down the steam
you can see the sky above you
and feel the cool
relaxing water
beneath you
bobbing gently
up and down
over tiny rocks
and around relaxing curves
spinning softly
and just letting everything else
fade away completely
nothing else matters
but this stream
and my words
every other thought
have drifted away
and as you drift down the stream
you notice that it ends
in a whirlpool
as you feel your last thought
slowly drifting
and spinning
round and round
as the streams waters
slowly sink
into the void at the bottom
totally safe and relaxed
you feel the leaf
spinning
more and more deeply
round and round the whirlpool
down
sinking
deeper and deeper
into the void
and then you feel it
you feel the leaf
enter the void
and fade away
completely empty
completely blank
your conscious mind has turned off
only your subconscious is listening
just a nice
empty void
complete peace
as you float
effortlessly
in the void
you become aware
on a subconscious level
that you are actually
surrounded by energy
energy that you can feel
flowing into your mind
into your body
energy that was always there
but that you needed to simply
relax
and open yourself
in order to feel
you can feel it
moving in your body
moving in your mind
and allow it to simply
move where it is needed
maybe to a place in your body
that is in need of healing
or of strengthening
maybe to a place in your mind
an area of your life
that gives you struggle
you can feel this energy filling you
mind,
body,
and soul
filling in any area
where you need it too
recharging your battery
in every way.
no thoughts
no emotions
simply a constant flow
of pure
healing energy
energy that you can use
energy that you can tap into
now that you know it's here
now that you're aware of it
you can access this energy
in your life
to help your body to become stronger
or heal an injury
to help you focus
on a project
or a personal goal
to help you feel at peace
in the middle of a chaos
this energy is
and always was
all around you
inside of you
you only needed to realize
that it was here now
you can feel that energy
so vividly
moving through every part of your being
and now that you know this energy is here
now that you are aware of it
and can access it
whenever you need
whenever you want
your subconscious mind
will simply help you
even when you are not aware you need it
to access this energy
to use it
and harness it
to help you relax
and grow
and thrive
in all the things that you do...
and now
i'd like you to simply let go
and relax
feeling this energy
deeply inside of you
and all around you
you can stay here
for as long as you'd like
letting the energy flow to where you need
letting it help you heal
and grow
and when you are ready
you'll imagine the tree
in your mind
waking up for spring
you'll feel the leaves all
come to life
and open
and you'll feel your thoughts
wake back up
as your body simply wakes up
when you are ready...
