Releasing The Fear Of Judgement

Hello,

My name is Lienor and I am honored and grateful that you have chosen me to be your guide today.

Now go ahead and just make yourself nice and comfortable in the chair.

Now I would like you to put your hands on your lap and to use your eyes to find a spot on one of your hands on which you would like to focus all of your attention.

It might be a wrinkle or a fingernail.

And now that you have found that spot,

That special spot on which you have chosen to focus all of your attention,

Let yourself really concentrate on that one spot.

Let yourself totally concentrate on that spot that was special for you.

Concentrate on it just as hard as you can.

As you do that,

You can still be aware of my voice and you can let all of your body become very relaxed and comfortable.

Now in a little time,

I'm not exactly sure when,

But soon,

Your eyes will become so relaxed and comfortable that they will want to close.

You pick the time that feels just right for you.

And when that happens,

You can feel even more relaxed and comfortable than you are feeling right now.

When that happens,

When your eyes close,

We can talk about some other very pleasant things that are relaxing and comfortable for you.

Now let those eyes close.

That's it.

So comfortable and peaceful from the top of your head all the way down to the bottom of your toes.

And when you are feeling so relaxed and comfortable like you feel right now,

You might like to imagine that you are in your favorite place in the whole world.

Being there right now.

That favorite place now might be a place you have really been to before or a place you have only read about or a place you have dreamed about.

But everything about that favorite place is just the way you want it to be.

You might be there by yourself or maybe with some very special friend.

Of course,

You are doing your favorite activities and everything about the day is just the way you would like it to be.

I'm not sure where your favorite place is.

I know that you know where your favorite place is and that you are enjoying it right now.

You can continue to enjoy your favorite place and all of the things you would like to do while you listen to all the things you can do when you are relaxed and in your favorite place.

Things that can help you.

Now you can continue to be in your favorite place and begin breathing deeply and slowly.

Before you let go completely and go into a deep hypnotic state,

Just let yourself listen carefully to everything I say to you.

It's going to happen automatically so you don't need to think about that now and you will have no conscious control over what happens.

The muscles in and around your eyes will relax all by themselves as you continue breathing easily and freely without thinking about it.

You will soon enter a deep,

Peaceful hypnotic trance without any effort.

There is nothing important for your conscious mind to do.

In a moment I'm going to relax you more completely.

In a moment I'm going to begin counting backwards from 10 to 1.

In the moment I say the number 10,

You will allow your eyelids to remain closed.

The moment I say the number 10,

You will,

In your mind's eye,

See yourself at the top of a small set of stairs.

The moment I say the number 9,

And each additional number,

You will simply move down those stairs,

Relaxing more completely.

At the base of the stairs is a large feather bed with a comfortable feather pillow.

The moment I say the number 1,

You will simply sink into that bed,

Resting your head on that feather pillow.

Number 10,

Eyes closed at the top of those stairs.

10 9,

Relaxing and letting go.

8,

Sinking into a more comfortable,

Calm,

Peaceful state.

7 6,

Going way down.

5,

Moving down those stairs,

Relaxing more completely.

4 5,

Moving down those stairs,

Relaxing more completely.

6 7 8 7 8 7 8 7 8 7 8 7 8 7 8 7 8 7 8 7 8 7 8 9,

Relaxing more completely.

10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 70 60 70 70 90 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 You're going to find yourself far less concerned about other people's opinions of you two.

You'll find you gain a clearer perspective and a better sense of proportion of beginning to recognize and understand that whatever other people think or feel is their concern,

Part of their life,

Part of their attitudes.

In the past,

You might have been sometimes unfairly judged,

As we all have been at some time or another,

And in the future too,

You might sometimes be misjudged,

As we all are.

But that misjudgment doesn't actually change anything.

It doesn't alter the facts.

It doesn't change the real you.

If someone misjudges you at some time,

That's simply their own error,

Their own error of judgment.

They've simply made a mistake,

And you don't mind allowing people to make mistakes.

You don't mind people being wrong sometimes,

Because you know what's inside yourself.

You understand your true integrity,

Your true self.

What others imagine they see is simply the product of their own experiences of their life,

Their own attitudes,

Their own fears and expectations,

Just their own thoughts,

Just their thoughts and nothing more than their thoughts.

And you're not responsible for any of those things at all.

And it's worth remembering that nothing that we see or hear or imagine that we see or hear can change us.

Nothing that we perceive in the outside world can hurt us nor alter us.

Only acting upon those things can do that.

Nothing that we see or hear can hurt us or change us.

Even what I'm saying to you here cannot change you.

Only reacting to these things can do that.

Only acting upon the things we see and hear can change us.

And we have free choice to decide whether or not to act upon these things.

And thinking about things is acting upon them.

But we have free choice to decide which things to act upon,

Which things to react to,

And which things to ignore.

And the things that you choose to ignore will be a matter of complete indifference to you.

The things that you choose to ignore will always remain a matter of complete indifference.

From this day on,

You're going to find your confidence within yourself.

Your confidence and your abilities and your self-belief becoming steadily stronger.

Stronger than yesterday,

But not as strong as tomorrow.

Stronger than it was yesterday,

But not yet as strong as it will be tomorrow.

You're going to find yourself far less concerned about other people's opinions of you too.

You'll find you gain a clearer perspective and a better sense of proportion.

Beginning to recognize and understand that whatever other people think or feel is their concern,

Part of their lives,

Part of their attitudes.

Each time that you use this method for easy relaxation,

You relax more easily,

More quickly,

And more deeply.

Relaxation is a skill that you are easily developing with trance.

Now I'm going to count from 1 to 5,

And then I'll say,

Fully aware.

At the count of 5,

Your eyes are open,

And then you are fully aware,

Feeling calm,

Rested,

Refreshed,

And relaxed.

Alright,

1,

Slowly,

Calmly,

Easily you're returning to your full awareness once again.

2,

Each muscle and nerve in your body is loose and limp and relaxed,

And you feel wonderfully good.

3,

From head to toe,

You are feeling perfect in every way,

Physically perfect,

Mentally perfect,

Emotionally calm and serene.

On the number 4,

Your eyes begin to feel sparkling clear.

On the next number count,

Eyelids open,

Fully aware,

Feeling calm,

Rested,

Refreshed,

Relaxed,

Invigorated,

Full of energy.

Number 5,

You're fully aware now,

Eyelids open,

Take a good deep breath,

Fill up your lungs,

And stretch.
