A little gift of self-hypnosis for you to enjoy:
Find yourself a comfortable place to sit or lie down, turn off your phone, give the dog a bone and r-e-l-a-x. Tell yourself how long you need before you want to bring the session to an end – your mind will do the rest!
Breathe in to the count of 4, hold the breath to the count of 4, breathe out to the count of 5, and do nothing for the county of 5. Repeat this breathing sequence at least 6 times as you feel yourself relaxing deeper.
Now, just imagine of a few of your favourite things, using all of your senses ( you can make up your own list), such as:
• A whiteboard where you write your name firstly in red marker, then blue, then green.
• The sound of crisp white paper being folded.
• A warm summer breeze against your skin
• The smell of freshly ground coffee
• The smell of rain
• The feel of fresh snow beneath your feet as you walk across it
• Your footprints left behind in the fresh snow
• Stroking the face of someone you care about
• The sound of waves rolling into shore
• The feel of warm sand between your toes
• The feel of your pet’s fur
• The taste of oranges or lemons
• Your bedroom
• The feel of snuggling down into your bed
• Hearing a child laughing
You get the idea ….then just allow your mind to drift and float where it wants to, until you know it’s time to bring yourself back to the room, feeling awake, refreshed and fully alert.
ENJOY !
