Can You Resist This Hypnosis? PART 2 😴You’ve Been In Survival Mode For Too Long

追加: 2026-05-21

[00:00:01]Hello. Welcome back.

[00:00:03]I was really proud of the progress that we were able to make in your last session.

[00:00:10]And so, I just thought that we could try another hypnosis technique on you today, since that really seemed to help your central nervous system just calm down.

[00:00:24]You know, as we were sort of discussing in our last session, the strange thing about relaxation is it's the one thing in this life that the harder you try, the more difficult it is. It's very counterintuitive, you know? In every other aspect of our life, the more effort we put forth into something, the more energy we put forth into something, it usually brings us closer to obtaining that goal.

[00:00:59]However, it's such the opposite with relaxation.

[00:01:04]And I think last time, in our last session, I was giving you the example of, you know, the experience of sitting on your couch, and you're just so relaxed and so at peace, and you're watching your favorite show, and you just find your eyelids getting very, very, very heavy, and you find your muscles just starting to relax. And next thing you know, without any effort, you've fallen asleep watching your favorite show or your favorite movie. And then, in complete contrast to that, is a night when, you know, you have an important, you know, meeting in the morning, or you have a doctor's appointment early in the morning, something that you need to wake up early for. And when you get into bed, and you put that effort into falling asleep, sleep tends to run in the opposite direction, cuz we can't talk our bodies into feeling calm. So, what we're going to try to achieve today is we're going to try to get your body and your thoughts to act in harmony with one another, cuz many times throughout our day, they can be at odds with one another.

[00:02:29]Oftentimes, what we're telling ourselves and what our body is experiencing are two completely separate states.

[00:02:40]So, in today's hypnosis session, I want you to realize that I am actually not doing anything to you.

[00:02:53]This state of calm and this state of peace that I'm going to guide you towards is always it's always inside you.

[00:03:08]Oftentimes, we just lose our map in order to trace our steps back into finding it. So, what I'm going to invite you to do is to just try to be open to the experience. The only thing I need from you is for you to not resist, but to just allow my words to just flow through you, and allow your body to relax, and allow your mind to slow down. And if at any point during the session, you find that your mind is starting to wander, don't worry about it. It's completely natural. It's bound to happen. Just bring your attention back to my words.

[00:04:01]And back to your breath. And that'll just be your baseline.

[00:04:07]So, what I'm going to do now is I'm going to put a pair of headphones on your ears because I want my voice.

[00:04:16]I don't want you just to hear my words.

[00:04:19]I want you to receive them.

[00:04:23]And I don't want you to just hear the actual word. I want you to hear every inflection.

[00:04:30]All the vibrations of the words.

[00:04:34]Cuz that is actually part of the process.

[00:04:38]I want you to listen differently than you normally listen.

[00:04:46]So, right now, before we put the headphones on just to sort of ground you before we begin.

[00:04:55]I want you just to become aware of your breath.

[00:05:00]I don't want you to change it.

[00:05:03]Everybody breathes a little bit differently. So, I don't want to do any counting.

[00:05:10]I don't want to impose any >> [clears throat] >> guidelines or restrictions.

[00:05:16]I just want you to notice your breath as it goes down through your nose and travels down your throat.

[00:05:26]Down deep into your chest.

[00:05:29]Filling your lungs with air.

[00:05:33]And then I just want you to feel as you gently release that air back out through your mouth and just follow it.

[00:05:43]Follow the sensation all the way through.

[00:05:47]As it enters your nose, as it travels down your throat.

[00:05:54]Try to feel it entering all the way down into your abdomen.

[00:06:00]And then follow that same breath all the way back out.

[00:06:08]Just allow your mind to start to soften.

[00:06:13]Allow your thoughts to start to slow down.

[00:06:19]And now I'm going to go put the headphones on you.

[00:06:23]And just try to maintain that level of breath. Just nice, slow, rhythmic breath.

[00:06:33]Nothing forced.

[00:06:37]Just gentle.

[00:06:38]Just easy.

[00:06:40]Just natural.

[00:06:42]So, let me go put those headphones on you.

[00:06:47]Get as comfortable as you possibly can in your seat.

[00:06:52]If you're going to make any adjustments, make those adjustments now. Just making sure that you're in the utmost comfortable position.

[00:07:02]And then I'm going to invite you to close your eyes once I place these headphones on you.

[00:07:09]Okay?

[00:07:11]All right.

[00:07:12]Okay, so here are the headphones.

[00:07:16]And let me know when I put them on if they feel comfortable, if they need to be adjusted.

[00:07:21]Um I'm going to adjust these. So, let's adjust.

[00:07:27]There we go.

[00:07:29]All right, so I just want to test them out. So, how does that sound? Is the sound quality good?

[00:07:36]So, if you need to adjust volume, now would be a good time to adjust. It's just a little button the side right there. You can just press up or down.

[00:07:47]Okay. And so, when you get the volume level that you feel comfortable with, that sounds the most pleasing to you, let me know.

[00:07:57]Okay, good.

[00:07:58]Um all right, then.

[00:08:01]Without any further ado, let's begin.

[00:08:07]Now, with your eyes closed, I'm going to touch the very top of your head with this feather.

[00:08:18]And as the feather brushes against your skin, I want you to feel that very soothing, soft touch of this feather.

[00:08:34]And it signals all the muscles in your face to just relax.

[00:08:42]You feel your eyebrows relax.

[00:08:47]You feel your forehead relax.

[00:08:52]You feel your jaw relax.

[00:08:58]And this wave of peace and relaxation begins to tingle and travel down the back of your scalp, down your neck, into your shoulders.

[00:09:17]You feel the shoulders start to become very, very relaxed.

[00:09:25]It travels down your spine, down your legs, down your thighs, down your shins, down into your toes.

[00:09:39]Through your arms, down all the way through your fingers.

[00:09:46]This very peaceful tingly sensation of peace and relaxation traveling through your body.

[00:10:03]So, for the next little while, there is nowhere else that you need to be.

[00:10:11]There is nothing that you need to solve.

[00:10:16]Nothing to monitor.

[00:10:19]Nothing to anticipate.

[00:10:23]There's just this moment.

[00:10:26]There's just this voice and your own internal world that I'm going to guide you through.

[00:10:38]Now, very very gently, I want you to imagine your awareness moving inward, away from the outside world, away from screens, away from notifications, away from responsibilities, away from all expectations and toward something quieter.

[00:11:08]A private, interior landscape, a place untouched by performance.

[00:11:21]A place untouched by pressure, untouched by noise.

[00:11:29]And as your awareness moves inward, I want you to imagine yourself standing at the edge of a long winding path.

[00:11:42]It's evening.

[00:11:45]The air is cool, but it's not cold.

[00:11:50]Just enough to feel the refreshing breeze against your skin.

[00:11:57]There are tall trees surrounding the path and their branches arch overhead creating a natural canopy.

[00:12:10]Beneath your feet, you feel soft earth.

[00:12:15]The path feels familiar somehow as though some deeper part of you has walked here before.

[00:12:27]You notice how quiet everything feels.

[00:12:32]Not empty, alive and peaceful.

[00:12:40]The kind of silence where you can finally hear yourself clearly.

[00:12:46]And with every step along this path, your body begins releasing more [snorts] tension.

[00:12:54]Not because you're forcing it to, but because your nervous system is beginning to finally recognize that it's safe.

[00:13:08]Safe to stop bracing.

[00:13:11]Safe to stop preparing.

[00:13:16]Safe to loosen your grip.

[00:13:22]And as you continue walking, you begin to notice that your breathing is beginning to get slower and slower.

[00:13:38]And your breath begins to synchronize with your footsteps.

[00:13:45]One breath, one step.

[00:13:50]Another breath, another step.

[00:13:56]Your body is beginning to move in rhythm.

[00:14:01]Mind, breath, body, heart.

[00:14:11]All gradually entering the same quiet pattern.

[00:14:17]And somewhere in the distance, you hear water.

[00:14:23]A soft, flowing stream.

[00:14:27]And the closer you move toward it, the calmer and more peaceful you feel.

[00:14:37]Because the mind naturally settles when given something to follow.

[00:14:44]Whether that's a rhythm, whether that's a sound, [snorts] whether it's a visual, something steady.

[00:14:54]And this is why visualization becomes so powerful.

[00:14:59]Because while the mind is immersed in creating this peaceful internal world, there's less space now for all those thoughts.

[00:15:11]There's less space now for scanning.

[00:15:18]And now, you arrive at the stream.

[00:15:24]The moonlight is reflecting against the water.

[00:15:29]Silver light moving slowly across the surface.

[00:15:36]The stream itself is calm and unhurried.

[00:15:41]And beside it a large, smooth stone.

[00:15:46]A place that's been prepared for you.

[00:15:50]So in your mind, I want you to sit beside the stream.

[00:15:56]And as you settle there, notice how your body feels.

[00:16:02]Notice where the tension has been living.

[00:16:06]Without judgement.

[00:16:08]Without frustration.

[00:16:10]Just awareness.

[00:16:13]Maybe you had been holding it in your chest.

[00:16:17]Maybe it had been in your stomach.

[00:16:20]Maybe it had been in your jaw or your neck or your shoulders.

[00:16:27]Notice how it feels so much lighter now that you've let it go.

[00:16:35]And now I want you to imagine the stream as your nervous system.

[00:16:41]When the mind becomes overwhelmed, when the body believes it must remain alert, that water becomes turbulent, fast, chaotic.

[00:16:58]But now look at it.

[00:17:01]The stream is calm, [snorts] steady, and rhythmic.

[00:17:09]Because the body follows patterns.

[00:17:12]And tonight, we're giving it a new one.

[00:17:18]And now bring your awareness gently to your heart.

[00:17:26]Not emotionally right now, just the actual physical space.

[00:17:32]And imagine with every slow breath that you take, the area right in the center of your chest begins softening.

[00:17:44]I want you to visualize a warmth spreading out and radiating right from the center of your chest.

[00:17:55]Not dramatic, just subtle.

[00:17:59]Like ice slowly melting in the sunlight.

[00:18:05]And as that warmth spreads, your breathing naturally slows.

[00:18:13]And as your breathing slows, your heart begins to soften.

[00:18:20]It no longer feels like it has to brace itself.

[00:18:27]It feels safe to let its guard down.

[00:18:33]And as your breathing slows, your heart rhythm begins smoothing.

[00:18:40]And as your heart rhythm smooths, your nervous system begins receiving a different signal.

[00:18:49]Not danger.

[00:18:52]Not urgency.

[00:18:55]Safety and stillness.

[00:18:59]And a permission for your body to rest.

[00:19:06]Permission for your mind to rest.

[00:19:12]You do not have to monitor every possible future right now.

[00:19:19]You do not have to solve your entire life tonight.

[00:19:24]You do not have to remain internally armored in order to survive.

[00:19:36]For now, you are simply right here with me.

[00:19:44]And we are sharing this moment together.

[00:19:49]And all you need to do is breathe.

[00:19:53]All I need you to do for me is just to exist.

[00:20:01]I want you to feel that the ground beneath you supports you.

[00:20:10]And the deeper you relax, the more your mind and body begin to communicate clearly together.

[00:20:23]Do you see how it feels when they start to come together as one?

[00:20:31]No longer pulling each other in opposite directions.

[00:20:36]No longer sending conflicting signals.

[00:20:44]We have unity.

[00:20:47]And we have inner harmony.

[00:20:52]The mind and the body come together as one.

[00:20:59]I want you to notice right now how it feels to have this level of peace flowing all [sighs] through your body.

[00:21:11]This level of peace that is traveling all through your veins.

[00:21:20]Notice the feeling of flow traveling unobstructed throughout your entire body.

[00:21:31]Notice the rhythm.

[00:21:33]Notice the pace.

[00:21:38]You brought yourself here.

[00:21:41]And now I want you to imagine that the moonlight is reflecting across the stream.

[00:21:52]And as you watch it glistening it starts glowing brighter and brighter and brighter.

[00:22:03]Soft silver light.

[00:22:07]And as you watch it move and dance across the water that light begins slowly traveling towards you.

[00:22:24]This light travels right up to you and you feel it on your skin like it was a warm mist.

[00:22:36]Very soothing.

[00:22:39]Very calming.

[00:22:41]And wherever this light touches your body begins to soften.

[00:22:48]Wherever this light touches the tension loosens.

[00:22:54]The noise quiets.

[00:22:57]And your thoughts become slower and further apart.

[00:23:05]Your thoughts become like clouds drifting across a massive open sky.

[00:23:16]You no longer feel the need to chase every thought or analyze every feeling or anticipate every possibility.

[00:23:34]You're just observing now.

[00:23:37]You're just floating now.

[00:23:41]You're just allowing your body to drift with the current.

[00:23:48]No resistance.

[00:23:52]No effort.

[00:23:55]Just drift.

[00:23:58]Just allow yourself to float.

[00:24:03]Just allow yourself to drift.

[00:24:10]And the more you float and the more you drift the more the external world begins fading further and further into the background.

[00:24:27]The mind is becoming increasingly [snorts] absorbed, focused, narrowed, comfortably hypnotic.

[00:24:41]And you may notice now that your body starts feeling heavier.

[00:24:48]You start feeling more and more grounded.

[00:24:54]More and more distant from effort.

[00:25:01]Your eyelids are heavier.

[00:25:05]Your face is softer.

[00:25:09]Your arms and your legs, they're so so relaxed and so heavy.

[00:25:19]Your heartbeat is slow and steady.

[00:25:24]And every sound around you is only helping you to drift deeper and deeper into this beautiful, calm.

[00:25:38]Every breath, every pause, every movement is guiding you inward.

[00:25:50]And now in front of you, across the stream, you notice a small lantern that's glowing warmly between the trees.

[00:26:04]It's a golden light, very soft, very inviting.

[00:26:14]And for some reason, you know that this place is so important.

[00:26:24]It's a place that your mind has been trying to return to for a very very long time.

[00:26:36]So you stand slowly and you begin walking toward it, crossing a small wooden bridge over the stream.

[00:26:52]Feel the wood beneath your feet.

[00:26:57]Hear the gentle creak with each step you take.

[00:27:04]And with every step across the bridge, you move further and further away from vigilance.

[00:27:17]Further [snorts] and further from the external noise.

[00:27:23]Further and further into the quiet center of yourself.

[00:27:33]In a moment, I am going to slowly count backwards from 10 [clears throat] down to 1.

[00:27:45]And with every number, you may notice yourself relaxing more completely.

[00:27:54]With every number, your thoughts will slow and your body will continue to soften.

[00:28:06]With every number, your awareness will narrow and your nervous system is going to continue moving deeper and deeper into coherence.

[00:28:25]And you know what the best thing is?

[00:28:29]You don't have to do a thing to make this happen.

[00:28:34]All you have to do is sit back and allow it.

[00:28:42]Your mind and your body already understand how to drift, how to float.

[00:28:56]So, all you have to do is simply listen and allow.

[00:29:04]Allow yourself to let go.

[00:29:09]10 Feel the body becoming heavier.

[00:29:19]9 Your muscles softening more deeply.

[00:29:30]8 Your breathing is slow, steady, effortless.

[00:29:42]7 Your thoughts are drifting further and further apart.

[00:29:54]6 A deeper sense of safety is spreading all throughout your body.

[00:30:06]5 We're halfway done now.

[00:30:11]Deeply relaxed, deeply calm.

[00:30:19]4 [sighs] The outside world feeling more >> [sighs] >> and more distant.

[00:30:30]3 Your heart rhythm is steady and peaceful.

[00:30:40]2 Your mind and your body fully settling into agreement.

[00:30:50]And one You are deep under now.

[00:30:56]Deeply relaxed.

[00:31:00]Deeply calm.

[00:31:03]And from this place you may begin imagining yourself floating gently on the surface of that quiet stream once more.

[00:31:19]You are weightless.

[00:31:21]Supported completely.

[00:31:25]The water is carrying you effortlessly.

[00:31:31]There's moonlight above you and cool air brushing against your skin.

[00:31:41]There is no resistance.

[00:31:45]There is no urgency.

[00:31:48]There is no need for you to hold yourself up or make any effort at all.

[00:32:00]All you need to do is drift.

[00:32:05]Just drift.

[00:32:07]And the more you fully surrender to that drifting sensation the deeper your subconscious mind absorbs this feeling of peace.

[00:32:21]This feeling of safety.

[00:32:26]Every system in the body is receiving the same message.

[00:32:32]You are safe.

[00:32:35]You are safe.

[00:32:38]You are safe.

[00:32:44]You are supported.

[00:32:46]You do not need to remain in survival mode tonight.

[00:32:52]There is nothing left to do.

[00:32:56]There is nothing left to monitor.

[00:33:01]There is nothing left to anticipate.

[00:33:07]Only rest.

[00:33:10]Only stillness.

[00:33:13]Only this steady, peaceful rhythm carrying you deeper and deeper and deeper.

[00:33:25]So, continue drifting now.

[00:33:28]Continue floating further and further down the stream.

[00:33:39]Further into calm.

[00:33:43]Further into stillness.

[00:33:48]Deep.

[00:33:50]Deep into peace.

[00:33:54]And if sleep comes naturally, you may allow yourself to drift into it.

[00:34:02]Completely peaceful and completely safe.

[00:34:10]You are very very relaxed now.

[00:34:16]And you are deeply deeply at peace.

[00:34:22]Sweet dreams.
