Hello and welcome.
I'm Stephanie from Hearts Park Hypnotherapy,
And this is a supportive space where you can slow down and deepen that wonderful connection to your own inner wisdom and resources so that you can create a life that you love.
Today we're tuning into the body's energy centers which are also known as chakras.
These are powerful energy centers that exist all throughout the body that regulate the flow of that vital life force energy.
And they all have a range of different purposes from providing a sense of safety to helping you speak your truth and connecting you with your higher self.
In most traditions,
There are seven main chakras along the spine.
There's the root chakra,
Located at the base of your spine,
Which is the center for grounding,
Safety,
And stability.
There's the sacral chakra,
Which is about two inches below your navel.
And that's the center for governing creativity,
Pleasure,
And expression of emotions.
Next we have the solar plexus chakra,
And this is located in the upper abdomen,
And it's the center of confidence,
Strength,
And personal power.
Next we have the heart chakra and this is the heart center in the center of the chest.
It's where we experience love,
Compassion,
Acceptance,
Forgiveness,
And connection.
And then we have the throat chakra,
Which is located at the throat,
And this is our center for communication.
This is where we speak our truths.
Next we have the third eye chakra,
Located just above the eyebrows,
And it's aptly named because it's the center of three eyes,
Intuition,
Insight,
And intellect.
Lastly,
We have the crown chakra,
Which is located at the top of the head,
And this is where we're linked to spirituality,
Consciousness,
Fulfillment,
And inner peace.
So when these energy centers get blocked or maybe become imbalanced,
You might feel off emotionally,
Physically,
Or spiritually.
And this could look like feeling ungrounded,
Feeling insecure.
Having difficulty expressing emotions,
Experiencing creative blocks.
Maybe struggling with motivation or decisions,
Having self-doubt,
Fear,
Feeling lost,
And more.
Thankfully,
With awareness and intention,
You can bring these centers back into harmony.
So now I invite you to find a quiet space and get comfortable.
And I hope that you enjoy this guided practice to bring your mind,
Body,
And spirit back into balance.
So now let's begin by closing the eyes.
Settling the body now.
And the mind.
Becoming more still and more focused with each and every breath.
And bringing that focused attention now to the breath.
As we take a few nice deep breaths in,
Slowly and deeply.
Let's bring those eyes up underneath those eyelids,
Almost like you're looking up at your forehead with each slow inhale.
Inhaling and looking up.
And then exhaling and eyes return to their natural level position.
And again,
Taking a deep breath in as eyes go up looking up at the forehead.
And then breathing out and eyes return level.
Breathing in as eyes are going up to the forehead.
And breathing out as eyes return level.
And then simply allow the breath to return to its natural and normal state.
Noticing its rhythm and its flow Just breathing in.
.
.
And breathing out.
Breathing in.
And breathing out.
As time seems to slow down.
And I invite you to bring your awareness now to your legs.
Noticing them just as they are.
They may be heavy or light,
Warm or cool,
Or neutral.
And as you become aware of them,
Notice that there may be a tendency to allow the muscles to soften.
Or melt into that solid support beneath you.
Feeling that support so steady.
So secure and solid.
As you allow yourself to begin to drift deeper now.
And as you do,
Give yourself permission to allow any stress or tension or emotions or negativity to just drain out of those legs.
Draining down into the earth.
Becoming neutralized.
Clearing that space and just breathing.
And each breath in breathes new life into the body.
And the mind.
Now.
Rest your attention on the base of the spine.
Your tailbone.
And as you get a sense of this area.
.
.
Notice.
What do you feel here?
What are you noticing?
Allowing information to come forward in the mind in just the right way.
Like a knowing.
And then thinking about what it might be like to feel more comfort here.
What might it feel like to bring in a sense of nurturing to this space?
A sense of grounding and security.
What might that feel like?
Perhaps it's as though you have roots?
And these roots are sturdy as they stretch down and down into the earth.
Strong,
Solid,
And stable.
Yes.
And these roots that go down and down into the earth are filled with a sense of security and peacefulness.
As you allow a beautiful bright light to travel up through these roots,
Filling the base.
The spine.
With a light and peaceful glow all around.
Filling the space with lightness.
Filling this space with love filling this space with belief.
For your greatest good to come forward.
And allowing for that without any more thought now because it's already ongoing.
As we give thanks for the greatest good to come forward and take the lead.
And now rest your attention on your body 2 inches below your belly button.
In the lower abdomen.
And as you get a sense of this area.
.
.
Let's take a breath.
And observe.
What's the feeling here?
Allowing whatever information comes forward to do so.
As you become more aware of any thoughts or ideas.
Listening to what you hear as you focus on this space.
Allowing that deeper inner wisdom to come through.
And allowing the imagination to open up now to new ideas and new thoughts.
New images to help you move through.
Perhaps even bringing forward an image to the mind now that can support you.
All the while continuing to focus on the lower abdomen.
And as the image comes forward,
Allowing a deep breath in and a release.
Breathing in.
.
.
Support and trust and on that exhale releasing anything no longer serving you Inhaling compassion and trust and belief in yourself.
Exhaling and releasing what is no longer wanted and needed.
Letting it go.
Making space for gratitude for your future.
And now rest your attention on your body in the area of the solar plexus.
Around the belly button,
Below the ribcage.
And as you get a sense of this area.
.
.
I invite you to take a breath.
And notice.
And allow.
Allowing the entire midsection to unwind with each breath.
Drifting deeper now.
Deeper into this time where you're giving yourself space.
Giving yourself power.
Giving yourself energy.
Giving yourself a choice.
Releasing now any old ideas or old behaviors that don't fit into who you now choose to be.
And continuing to release even more.
Drifting deeper.
Releasing expectations from yourself or others.
Releasing to allow.
Allowing yourself to be all that you want to be and more.
Allowing deeper understanding.
Allowing yourself to do this for you.
And allowing the universe to help you in just the right way for you.
And now.
Rest your attention on your heart.
This place of balance and ease.
And it's as easy as breathing in now and breathing out.
With every breath.
I wonder if you could imagine more.
Imagining what it could feel like to speak to your heart.
And tell your heart everything.
Telling it how important.
How special.
How wonderful it is.
How important it is to be all that it can be.
How beautiful and bright it is.
And that it's always been loved and will always be loved forever and ever.
Allowing the words to fill up the heart and any dark spaces with love.
Allowing that to be always ongoing and always flowing forever and ever.
And then just breathing and drifting deeper now.
And now resting your attention on the center of the neck.
Noticing the muscles,
Tissues,
Fibers,
And sounds.
Getting a sense now of what this area feels like.
The center of communication and creativity.
This space in this place where time seems to have slowed down.
And in this slowness.
.
.
The stillness.
Is the space for creation.
Because words are power.
Our own power.
And they carry truth and honesty.
As we use them to express and be ourselves.
A special uniqueness of the self.
Speaking our truth bravely and courageously.
Because we deserve that.
Knowing and allowing for that as you drift even deeper now.
Now resting your attention on the middle of the forehead just above your eyebrows.
And that third eye,
The center of the mind.
Noticing and observing this area as you get a sense of it.
Getting a sense of connecting to that deeper inner wisdom now.
That sense of knowing.
That sense of familiarity.
And of home.
And seeing what image might come forward that represents this inner knowing.
Bringing it forth fully in full vibrant color and detail.
As you picture it,
Allowing it to come alive.
In whatever way feels right for you.
And it might be interesting to allow this image to integrate.
Just the right knowing for you today.
And it might be interesting to allow this image to bring forth information in the just right knowing for you for today.
What's just right for your mind,
Body,
And spirit.
As it communicates in just the right way for you.
Giving yourself time and space to breathe in this information.
Breathing it into the body wherever it feels right.
And allowing it to grow and expand.
Of each and every breath.
And now rest your attention on the top of your head.
And you might imagine.
Bright white light connecting you to what's beyond and above.
Feeling this connection and giving yourself permission to relax and to trust.
That the universe has your back.
The universe has your highest good in mind.
And is working for you fully and completely.
Bringing forward a sense of gratitude for that knowing.
And believing in it.
And breathing into this experience.
Appreciating that the process for balancing and healing has already been started.
Coming from within.
And we'll continue.
Throughout the day and days to come.
As you let all of this settle deeply into that deepest part of the subconscious mind.
Allowing it to take place automatically.
Accepting and allowing and reinforcing it all.
So in a moment I will count you back up and out.
At zero,
Reinforcing all of the good,
The positive and the true from this experience.
And one is a deep and cleansing breath in and release.
Now at 2.
