Astral Guide

In a state of self-hypnosis,

You're not asleep or unconscious.

You're aware of your surroundings.

You can't be forced to do anything that's against your will.

Don't worry about outside sounds and distractions because you're soon able to relax completely and can use the outside sounds to deepen your trance.

You're always in control and can accept or reject the suggestions as you wish.

Allow yourself to absorb the suggestions without evaluating or analyzing.

Don't worry if your mind drifts off because you still gain the benefits from the suggestions.

When you find yourself focused on other thoughts,

Gently remind yourself to focus on the sound of my voice and the suggestions.

Don't worry about getting it or doing it right.

Just allow yourself to feel comfortable and relaxed.

Take a deep breath and as you exhale,

Allow your eyes to close.

Imagine a cord attached to the base of your spine and traveling all the way to the center of the earth.

Really anchor that cord now into the center of the earth,

Wrapping the ends around anything solid you find.

Allow the cord to expand to a size that's comfortable for you and now release any stress,

Tension,

Anxiety,

Or negativity down that cord.

You can release any unfinished projects or any people who may want your attention.

Acknowledge any thoughts that may come into your mind and for now,

Release them down your grounding cord.

So take another deep breath,

Hold the breath,

And exhale through your mouth with a sigh,

Relaxing even deeper.

So take another deep breath,

Hold the breath,

And exhale through the mouth with a sigh,

Relaxing even deeper,

Feeling so calm and tranquil.

And with your third deep breath,

Once more comfortably filling your lungs,

Hold the breath,

And as you exhale,

Allow that remaining stress and tension to flow out of your body.

It's not necessary to hear any outside sounds or anyone else's voice,

And now you can enjoy the comfort of drifting into a deep state of relaxation.

This is the most important process for you to be doing and the most important place for you to be.

Just allow yourself to let go and relax,

And now focus your awareness on the muscles on the top of your head,

And begin to feel the wave of relaxation flowing from the top of your head down over your forehead and into your eyebrows,

Moving around your eyes now,

Bathing your eyes with comfort and ease,

And you feel yourself drifting deeper and deeper,

Focusing on the sound of my voice.

Feel yourself drifting deeper,

Deeper down and relax,

Deeper down and relax,

As you feel that wave of relaxation moving across your nose and down into your cheeks,

The muscles melting down just like butter,

Melting on a warm stove,

Drifting deeper as the muscles around your mouth relax,

And that relaxation flows into your jaw and into your tongue,

And your teeth may separate slightly,

And that's fine.

And now allow that wave of relaxation,

The flow from the top of your head down over the back of your head,

Around your ears and temples,

And down into your neck muscles,

And as those muscles begin to melt and blend,

Feel yourself drifting deeper and deeper with each easy breath that you take,

As you relax completely.

All outside sounds,

Noises,

Even your own thoughts,

Cause you to drift and go deeper,

Deeper and deeper.

Let that relaxation flow into your shoulders,

And feel how your shoulders begin to droop and sag with a comfortable,

Drowsy feeling of relaxation.

Allow these muscles to let go completely,

And notice how much more relaxed you are right now,

Than you were just a few moments ago.

As that wave of comfort and ease begins to flow across your shoulders,

And down your arms,

Feel the relaxation moving into each and every muscle,

Into every muscle,

Nerve and tendon.

As you relax and let go,

Feel the muscles melting effortlessly and easily.

Your shoulders and back of your neck melt completely,

And now that tingling,

Soothing wave moves around your elbows,

And down into your forearms,

And now surrounding your wrists,

With comfort and ease,

And on down into your hands,

And clear out to the very tips of your fingers,

Relaxing more with each easy breath that you take,

And as you relax,

Allow all the stress and tension to drain out the very tips of your fingers,

As you relax and let go.

And now that wave of relaxation spreads from your shoulders,

Down into the broad muscles of your back,

All discomfort and disorder,

Serving no useful purpose,

Leaves your body as you relax,

And drift deeper,

Even deeper,

As that wave travels down your back,

And around into your chest muscles.

Feel yourself relaxing,

And drifting even deeper,

Even deeper,

That wave of relaxation flows around your waist now,

On down into your hips and thighs,

Feel those muscles melting,

As you allow yourself to relax.

You may feel a pleasant tingling now,

Just starting at the top of your head,

And flowing down through your entire body,

As that wave of relaxation spreads down through your thighs,

And down around your knees,

Bathing your knees with comfort and ease,

And now down into your calves,

Feel those calf muscles melting down completely,

As you relax,

Deeper and deeper,

Feel that relaxation flowing around your ankles,

Bathing your ankles with comfort and ease,

That wave moves on down into the heel,

And arch of your feet,

Flowing along the soles of your feet,

Clear out to the tips of your toes,

And now allow any remaining stress and tension,

To drain right out of the very ends of your feet,

Removing all aches and pains,

Serving no useful purpose.

I'm going to count from 10,

Down to 1,

As you allow yourself to deepen this relaxation.

Each descending number takes you deeper down,

Relaxed and at peace.

On the number 1,

You enter a beautiful place of peace and tranquility.

Let's take that first step down,

Deeper and deeper now,

9,

Relaxing more with each descending number,

Drifting,

Floating,

Gliding now,

7,

Deeper still,

6,

Relaxing more with each easy breath that you take,

5,

Halfway there now,

And when I reach the number 1,

You'll be 10 times more deeply relaxed than you are right now,

4,

Deeper down still,

3,

All the way down now,

Almost down to that perfect place of peace and tranquility,

And 1,

Deeply relaxed now,

More relaxed than you've ever been,

And as you reach this state of complete relaxation,

You enter your own private haven,

A beautiful place of peace,

Comfort and tranquility,

A place where you are deeply relaxed,

A place where it's safe to feel all your feelings,

A place where it's safe to express your feelings,

A place where you're safe,

Relaxed and at peace,

And now allow your subconscious mind to open fully,

As a flower opens to the rays of the sun,

Listen to the relaxing sounds around you,

Become aware of your own easy breathing,

Feel the relaxation flowing through your body,

And visualize yourself relaxed and at peace in this beautiful place.

As you look around,

You may find yourself indoors or outdoors,

Or you may find yourself in a space of feeling and knowing,

Really whatever's appropriate for you.

To relax your mind,

I'll count backwards from 100.

By the time I reach the number 97,

The numbers dissolve and drift out of your mind,

Beginning to count now,

100,

Deeper relaxed,

99,

Even deeper relaxed,

98,

Deeper down now,

97,

Deeper and deeper,

The numbers drifting right on out of your mind,

Totally dim and distant,

Relax them out now and let them be gone,

If any numbers remain,

They drift away,

As I continue to talk,

You're sleeping deeply in this hypnotic state,

From this moment on,

You have the power to hypnotize yourself,

Simply place yourself in a comfortable position,

Take a deep breath,

Close your eyes and then relax your eyelids,

And allow the same quality of that relaxation to flow through your body,

You easily drift into the hypnotic state,

While hypnotized,

Part of your mind is alert and able to give suggestions to the other part,

Which is passive and receptive to the suggestions,

You easily give yourself any positive suggestions you desire,

These suggestions become a part of yourself,

They become a part of your thinking,

Your behavior and your being,

They become realized into fact,

As your personality,

When you wish to awaken and return to normal awareness,

You merely count from one to five,

And on the count of five,

You instantly awaken,

Feeling relaxed and refreshed,

With the suggestions firmly implanted in your subconscious mind,

The suggestions automatically go into action and become reality in your life,

You're aware that you can return to this level of relaxation,

Whenever it's appropriate,

Each time you practice self-hypnosis,

You enter this state of relaxation quickly,

Easily and effortlessly,

Each time you practice self-hypnosis,

You achieve this deep level of relaxation quickly and easily,

With each practice you allow yourself to go deeper and even deeper,

Each and every suggestion that you accept now becomes a permanent part of your subconscious mind,

Now as you continue to breathe deeply,

Imagine that you're standing in a beautiful and peaceful place,

It could be a meadow,

A forest or any other place that brings you a sense of calm,

As you look around,

You notice that you're not alone,

You're accompanied by one or more spirit guides,

Beings of pure love and light,

Who are here to assist you on your journey,

Take a moment to connect with your spirit guides and feel their loving presence around you,

Allow yourself to receive their guidance and wisdom,

Good,

Now imagine that you're walking with your spirit guide or guides towards a door,

As you approach the door,

You know that behind it lies an important message for you,

With your guides by your side,

Open the door and step through it,

You find yourself in a room filled with light and love,

In the center of the room,

There is a message waiting for you,

As you approach the message,

Take a moment to center yourself and connect with your spirit guide once again,

Allow yourself to receive the message with an open heart,

Now as you read the message,

Take note of any thoughts,

Feelings or sensations that come up for you,

These are all important pieces of information,

That will help you understand the message more fully,

As you continue to receive the message,

Know that your spirit guide is here to support you and guide you on your journey,

They are here to help you navigate any challenges that may arise and to help you stay aligned with your highest path and purpose,

If at any point during the process,

You feel resistance or hesitation,

Simply allow yourself to let go and surrender to the experience,

Trust that your spirit guide has your best interests at heart and that they will guide you towards the highest and best outcome,

As you continue to receive the message,

Allow yourself to sink deeper and deeper into a state of relaxation and receptivity,

Trust that whatever comes up for you during this process is exactly what you need to hear at this moment in time,

As you receive the message,

Notice any images or symbols that come to mind,

These may hold important meaning or insights for you,

Allow yourself to receive them without judgment or analysis and trust that they will make sense to you in due time,

Good,

As you prepare to leave this space,

Take a moment to express gratitude for the message and the guidance that you've received,

Thank your spirit guide or guides for their loving presence and support and know that they're always here for you,

Whenever you need them,

As you come back to your waking state,

Bring the message and the guidance with you,

Allow it to integrate into your being and trust that it will continue to guide you on your journey,

Remember you're always connected to your spirit guide and they are here to help you in any way they can,

Simply ask for their guidance and support and they will be there for you,

Now as you come back to your waking state,

Take a moment to stretch your body and come fully back into the present,

Know that you're always supported,

Loved and guided on your journey,

When you're ready,

Open your eyes,

Feeling refreshed,

Energized and inspired to move,

Good work and namaste.
