Can Your Subconscious Mind Create Physical Touch?

[00:00:00]I'm not going to touch you, but you're going to feel it anyway.

[00:00:05]And by the second arm, you'll stop questioning how [music] you're listening, you're breathing, you're somewhere comfortable or comfortable enough.

[00:00:22]If your eyes want to close, let them close.

[00:00:26]If they'd rather stay open and rest on something, let them.

[00:00:31]Either way [sighs] works because either way, you're still listening.

[00:00:37]And it's the listening that does the work.

[00:00:42]There's no effort in this.

[00:00:45]Effort is the one thing that gets in the way.

[00:00:50]So, as you listen, you can let that go first.

[00:00:56]>> [music] >> You don't have to make anything happen.

[00:01:02]You only have to notice [snorts] it happening.

[00:01:08][music] And you may discover that each imagined [sighs] touch takes something with it as it fades, like a thought or a piece of the day.

[00:01:23]>> [music] >> So, let's begin with one hand, whichever one feels easiest.

[00:01:32]Let it rest where it is.

[00:01:35][music] And now, how would it feel if there were a touch on the back of that hand?

[00:01:45]so light and faint that it feels [snorts] just [gasps] barely there.

[00:01:55][music] A slow stroke starting at your wrist, [music] moving over the back of your hand, [music] tracing out along one finger, [music] and then gone.

[00:02:24][music] And again wrist, [music] hand, [music] finger [music] gone.

[00:02:45][music] Notice the rhythm of this.

[00:02:50]how the second stroke was more distinct than the first.

[00:02:58]That's how this works.

[00:03:00]Each one feels a little more vivid than the one before.

[00:03:07]And there's nothing you need to do to make that true. [music] You might feel a warmth beginning in the palm.

[00:03:20]Not heat, warmth.

[00:03:23][music] A warmth that spreads on its own once it starts.

[00:03:30]And as the warmth spreads, your hand can relax and soften completely.

[00:03:40][music] wrist, hand, [music] fingers gone. [sighs] [music] That hand feels heavy now.

[00:04:00]Pleasantly, uselessly heavy.

[00:04:06][music] And now the touch begins. A little higher from the inside of your elbow [music] all the way down, [music] forearm, wrist, [music] hand, [sighs and gasps] fingertips, [music] and away.

[00:04:42]One long [sighs] unhurried stroke downward, always ending past your fingers [music] again. And this time it starts higher still.

[00:05:03]Mid upper arm [music] down past the elbow [music] down the forearm out through the fingers and gone.

[00:05:22][music] Do you notice what's going with it?

[00:05:27]Every stroke that runs down that arm is carrying something out.

[00:05:34]Anything that side of you has been holding on to gets picked up at the shoulder and drawn all the way down and out.

[00:05:47][music] Now, the touch starts at the very top of your shoulder, [music] down the outside of your upper arm, [music] past the elbow, [music] along the forearm, [sighs] [music] over the wrist, [music] out through the fingertips.

[00:06:17]>> [music] >> and away.

[00:06:23]Nothing but a warm glow is left in its place.

[00:06:28]That's all that's in that arm now.

[00:06:31]A glowing [sighs] warmth.

[00:06:35][music] Of course, you have another arm. And I'm curious how much faster this one will go because your mind already knows the pattern.

[00:06:52]And a mind that knows a pattern falls into it easily.

[00:06:58][music] the back of the other hand, wrist, [music] hand, fingers [music] gone.

[00:07:16]It already feels much clearer, doesn't it?

[00:07:21]Warmth in the palm.

[00:07:25][music] Weight in the fingers [music] from the elbow now [music] all the way down and out [music] from the upper arm.

[00:07:45][music] all the way down and out [music] from the shoulder.

[00:07:58]The whole length of it [music] down and down [music] and out past your fingertips, taking every thought on that side with it.

[00:08:17]>> [music] >> Both arms now. [gasps] Both arms warm.

[00:08:25]Both arms [sighs] heavy. [music] Both shoulders finally letting go of the shape they've been holding all [gasps] day. [music] And now, both at once.

[00:08:45]>> [music] >> Two strokes, one on each shoulder, moving down the outsides of both arms together, [music] past both elbows, [music] over both wrists, [music] out through all your fingers.

[00:09:15]>> [music] >> and gone [music] again.

[00:09:22]Both shoulders [music] down [music] and gone.

[00:09:36]Each wave leaves the same wide, [sighs and gasps] warm, glowing energy behind.

[00:09:44]>> [music] >> And as each stroke moves downward, something else moves downward with it.

[00:09:53][music] Your thoughts, your attention, [music] you down with every caress, [music] deeper with everyone.

[00:10:11][music] Now, what happens if a touch goes the other way?

[00:10:18]Starting at your wrists and moving up, [music] up the forearms, [music] up past the elbows, [music] up toward your shoulders.

[00:10:41]>> [music] >> Notice how a bit more awareness comes back as your mind lifts just slightly toward the surface. [music] That's fine. That's supposed to happen [music] because now one long stroke from the shoulders [music] all [sighs] the way down. [music] Do you feel that?

[00:11:21]You sink deeper than before every single time. [music] That's the trick of it.

[00:11:32]Coming up a little makes sinking back down feel immense.

[00:11:39]>> [music] >> up from the wrist halfway to the elbows.

[00:11:49][music] A little more awake [music] and down from the shoulders [music] all the way [sighs] out.

[00:12:08]>> [music] >> Twice as deep as before.

[00:12:13][music] Now, [gasps and sighs] small taps along the outside of your arms.

[00:12:23]Light, quick, scattered.

[00:12:28][music] Small points of contact are sending ripples through you.

[00:12:36]>> [music] >> Ripples of relaxation moving inward, echoing down, [music] waking you slightly, [music] loosening you enormously.

[00:13:00][music] And after the ripples, one long slow stroke from both shoulders all the way down.

[00:13:15][music] All the way out.

[00:13:21][music] Down you go.

[00:13:27][music] >> [music] >> The next touch begins higher [sighs] than any of them.

[00:13:40]Two hands resting on the top of your head.

[00:13:46]Just resting [music] and then moving down over the ground.

[00:13:55][music] down the sides of your head, [music] past your temples, [music] behind your ears, [music] down your neck, [music] across both shoulders, [music] down both arms.

[00:14:29]>> [music] >> out through your fingertips [music] and gone.

[00:14:40]Something in you may have gone completely blank right there. [music] It's remarkable how little it takes, isn't it? [music] Again, from the top of your head, [music] down the sides, [music] down the neck, [music] the shoulders, [music] the arms.

[00:15:18][music] out [music] and flank up from the wrists. [music] A touch of alertness. [music] Small taps.

[00:15:45][music] Ripples [music] and down from the crown of your head.

[00:15:56][music] One [sighs] long unbroken stroke all the way out through your fingers [music] blank. [music] Hypnosis really is this simple.

[00:16:20]All it takes is a voice, a described touch, and a moment of silence in your mind.

[00:16:30]So take that peace with you when this ends.

[00:16:35][music] You can stay exactly this deep and let yourself drift on.

[00:16:45][music] [music] And when you're ready, you'll come back up on your own, effortless and easy.

[00:17:07]And from now on, whenever you settle in and think of these long, slow strokes running from your shoulders down and [sighs and gasps] out through your fingers.

[00:17:23]You'll find this same warm sense of peace comes back to meet you faster each time.

[00:17:32][music] So now upward from your wrists, [music] up your forearms, [music] past your elbows, [music] up to your shoulders.

[00:17:57]Alertness coming back with it.

[00:18:00][music] Up over your shoulders, [music] up your neck, [music] up to the top of your head, [music] and all the way awake.

[00:18:26]Taking a breath now. [music] Moving your fingers. [music] Coming back at your own pace, [music] but we're not quite finished.

[00:18:46]One more stroke from your shoulders all the way down. [music] And one more from the top of your head down [music] and out.

[00:19:07][music] Enjoy.

[00:19:12][music] [music] >> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music]
