Welcome,
This is Fela Wand,
New Zealand's trusted internal conflict resolution expert.
And I'm delighted to bring to you this guided audio experience to help you feel more empowered and more resourceful.
So please make sure that you're not listening to this recording while driving or working with any type of machinery or equipment.
Just find a place where you can be comfortable either sitting down or lying down.
A place where you can be undisturbed for a while.
So if you can't do that now,
Just put the recording away until you can find the time and the space.
I'm assuming now that you've found the time and the quiet space.
So I'd like you to get comfortable.
Make sure your legs aren't crossed and your hands are relaxed beside you.
Your mind will hear everything I say and take from it what is needed for you to help empower yourself.
This is a collaboration.
It's not something I'm doing for you or something I'm doing to you.
It's a collaboration between me and you.
I want this for you.
And so now go ahead and intend this for yourself.
And so if you're comfortable,
I'd like to take a deep breath in.
And as you breathe out,
Just allow your eyes to close down.
Only as quickly as you're ready to make these changes forever and free yourself from all limiting beliefs.
That's right.
Now just for a moment,
I want you to focus on the tiny muscles around your eyes and imagine they're relaxing so completely that they just won't work.
Imagine that every word that I say is relaxing those muscles even more.
And imagine that is happening automatically.
Imagine now that your eyes are so relaxed,
They just won't work.
And imagine that there's nothing you can do about that now.
Just for a while,
Your eyes are so relaxed,
They just won't work.
Nothing bothers you.
Nothing affects you.
Nothing disturbs you.
Just for a while,
Nobody wants anything.
No one expects anything.
And there's nothing for you to do but to relax completely.
Let that feeling of relaxation spread down into your jaw.
Your jaw relaxing.
Your tongue relaxing in your mouth.
Let that relaxation spread into your throat.
Now into your neck and shoulders.
Let your arms relax completely.
Your wrists and hands relaxing.
As you do that,
You may become aware of certain sensations.
You may even become aware of your pulse or your heart beating as you relax even more the muscles in your back,
Stomach and chest.
Just for a moment,
Focus on your breathing.
And imagine that you're breathing in calm and breathing out tension.
You're breathing in confidence and breathing out doubt.
Let that calm feeling spread down into your hips,
Your legs,
Your ankles,
Feet and toes.
As your body relaxes and your mind relaxes and you drift deeper and deeper into relaxation,
My voice and my words will drift with you to become a part of your experience now.
Let that feeling of relaxation flood down into your body.
Let every muscle,
Nerve and fiber relax.
Every word I say now will relax you more and more.
And the deeper relaxed you become,
The better you feel.
And the better you feel,
The deeper relaxed you become.
Every muscle,
Nerve and fiber relaxed.
Just like a handful of rubber band just thrown in the chair,
Loose and relaxed now.
That's right,
With your eyes closed,
You can continue to relax,
Although at times you may be more aware of some things than you were before.
The sound of my voice,
The comfort of the chair or the bed,
The beating of your heart and the thoughts and images that drift into the mind automatically.
Now see the faces of the people you love,
The people that love you.
Let that remind you of just how loved you are and what you're doing right now and why you're doing it.
And as you feel that love,
As you see those faces,
Every negative thought disappears from your body and your mind,
Replaced by a feeling of freedom as you drift deeper,
Deeper down now.
Because with the eyes closed,
It becomes easier to become more and more aware of a variety of things that otherwise may be ignored.
Thoughts,
Feelings,
Sensations and the alteration of awareness as the mind begins that gradual letting go.
Letting go,
Even of the effort it takes to be aware of exactly where the arms are positioned or the hands or the fingers.
Even the effort it takes to be aware of which leg seems to relax more completely or completely than the other may seem to be too much effort to bother making.
But it takes time to experience that letting go,
Your own time,
In your own way,
As you begin to learn even more than before about your ability and capacity to learn as you relax.
And the mind begins to drift down toward a place of quiet,
A place of peaceful inner awareness.
A place that almost seems to give off signals that direct awareness down toward it,
Into it,
More and more peacefully,
More and more completely and deeply than before.
Where even the effort it takes to be aware of the sound of my voice or the meaning of my words may almost seem to be too much effort to bother making.
It's so much easier simply to relax and let go,
Allowing events to occur in your own time and in your own way,
Drifting down deeper,
Deeper down now.
Imagine just dropping down through space and time.
Imagine that is happening automatically,
Deeper and deeper,
10,
20,
A hundred times deeper now in your own time and in your own way.
Nothing bothers or affects you.
Nothing disturbs you.
All that matters now is you,
The sound of my voice and that feeling of empowerment.
The deeper you go,
The better you feel.
And the better you feel,
The deeper you go.
And as you drift even deeper,
My voice,
My words drift with you to become a part of your experience now.
Every word I say will take you even deeper and everything that I say now becomes your reality.
Every suggestion I give you,
You'll act upon and carry out without hesitation,
Is now your reality.
It's because you've got a conscious mind and an unconscious mind and that unconscious mind,
The back of your mind,
Can continue to hear,
To understand and respond to everything I say without the need for you to do anything at all.
It's so much easier for the conscious mind simply to relax and enjoy that letting go,
Letting go even of the effort it takes to make the effort that it may take to be aware of exactly where the arms are positioned or the legs or the entire body.
Now that seems to drift through time and space,
That wonderful free floating place of effortless letting go,
Allowing events to occur in their own time and in their own way.
As you drift and that mind drifts without boundaries and without borders,
You're continuing to learn,
Continuing to grow stronger and find more and more ways to apply all the learnings you have gained.
Because with everything you learn and every wisdom you are gaining,
You're finding new ways to improve your life.
Just for a moment,
See yourself out there.
It's an hour from now,
A week from now,
10 years from now.
You're fit and well,
Living the life that you want,
Free and empowered.
You're waking up in the morning energized.
Step into that body and notice the feeling of energy,
The feeling of achievement,
The feeling of pride.
Look back to now and notice all the things that you did along the way that led to that wonderful feeling.
Using only to create how you want to be,
Using that strength to only choose how you want to feel,
Choosing how you want to think and to only envision what you would like to have happen.
The unconscious mind can allow those changes to occur automatically while the conscious mind drifts off someplace else entirely now.
That's right.
Because with everything you learn and every wisdom you are gaining,
You're finding new ways to improve your life in your own time and in your own way.
Choosing only to create how you want to be,
Using that strength to only choose how you want to feel,
Choosing how you want to think and to only envision what you'd like to have happen.
Aware of events that occur along the way as the unconscious mind utilizes that opportunity to alter your awareness and continue that learning in whatever way is the right way for you.
Improving your thinking,
Finding exactly those things you need to take the next step,
To see more clearly,
To think those thoughts that are best for you,
To only accept those feelings that are beneficial,
All of these in accordance with your life's dreams and all that you want to achieve and how you want to feel,
Finding exactly those next steps to expand your physical capabilities in the most beneficial way.
Understanding and knowing more and more that you can do everything and as you realize how far you've already come and that it's okay to feel good about acknowledging all that you've done and your wisdom and your strength,
You know you will only continue to improve in the best way.
Integrating all these learnings and continuing to move forward day by day.
Feeling that feeling of letting go,
Allowing the unconscious to assume more and more responsibility for guiding and directing awareness as you relax and enter into the trance more and more comfortably,
More and more deeply and more and more completely than before.
And every wisdom you are gaining,
You're finding new ways to improve your life.
I can wonder whether you're aware that you have drifted deeply into hypnosis because the deeper you go,
The better you feel and the better you feel,
The deeper you go.
10,
20,
A hundred times deeper now.
Every word I say will take you deeper and deeper.
Imagine there's nothing you can do about that now.
Just for a while,
Drifting deeper and deeper and deeper.
And when you look back on all the times you've persevered,
All the things you've achieved,
All that you've been through,
The lessons you've learned,
How you're changing all the time and all that you have created for yourself.
You understand how strong you are and understand what you can create,
The power that you need and how you can use that power from this point forward.
Choosing only to create how you want to be,
Using that strength to only choose how you want to feel,
Choosing how you want to think and to only envision what you would like to have happen.
So on one,
Two,
Achieve your goals.
Three,
A feeling of freedom from every limitation.
Four,
Feel the force of that freedom.
Five,
Incredibly alive now.
On six,
Seven,
Eight,
Eyes open,
Feeling absolutely wonderful.
Nine and 10,
Coming back feeling awake and refreshed,
Energized and better than you felt the whole day.
Just use this audio as often as you want,
As often as you like.
And it will continue to improve in the way that you want to improve.
