Enhancing self-confidence.

Allow your mind to clear and if you'd like,

Close your eyes.

Now allow yourself to focus on your breathing.

And as you breathe in,

You're breathing in relaxation.

And as you breathe out,

You are breathing out any stress and tension.

Breathing in relaxation,

Breathing out stress.

Relaxing more with each outward breath.

Nice and easy.

Nice and relaxed.

Remember to listen to this information only when you're able to relax.

Never when you're driving.

Never when you're operating any machinery or equipment.

Only when you're able to relax.

And if there is something you need to attend to,

You will come out of this relaxed state quickly and easily,

Fully in control.

But for now,

Just allow yourself to enjoy the relaxation.

This time that is especially for you.

Allow your mind to focus on your feet.

Just think about your feet beginning to relax.

Imagine a comfortable,

Warm,

Soothing feeling in both of your feet.

Feel a warm glow of relaxation moving from your toes to your heels.

Soothing,

Relaxing your feet.

All of the muscles letting go.

Just letting go and relaxing.

Feeling warm.

Now allow that warm glow of relaxation to move up to your ankles.

That warm,

Soothing glow of relaxation allowing your ankles to relax.

Feeling good.

Feeling warm and calm.

And now that warm glow of relaxation is moving up through your calves.

Feeling warm,

Relaxed,

And heavy.

So now your feet,

Ankles,

And calves are wrapped in that warm glow of relaxation.

And when you're ready,

Allow that relaxation to move through your knees and up into your thighs.

Letting go of any tension.

Noticing the warmth.

The heaviness.

The relaxation.

And now allow that warm,

Wonderful glow of relaxation to move into your abdominal area.

Soothing,

Relaxing.

The muscles of your abdomen just letting go.

Feeling completely relaxed.

Warm and comfortable.

And that warm glow of relaxation is moving into your chest.

Allowing all of the muscles to let go.

To be completely relaxed.

And so all you notice is the wonderful rhythmic nature of each relaxing breath.

Remembering that with each outward breath you are becoming more and more relaxed.

More and more at peace.

And as you are enjoying this wonderful feeling of relaxation,

Notice that this warm glow is moving across your shoulders and up your neck.

Letting go of all tension in this area.

Allow your neck to find a comfortable position.

Nice and relaxed.

While the muscles of your face are letting go.

Your jaw is relaxing.

You may even find your teeth parting as your jaw becomes more and more relaxed.

Your cheeks,

The muscles all around your eyes and your eyelids are letting go.

Becoming so very relaxed.

You know you could open your eyes if you wanted to.

But you just don't feel like doing it.

You are so comfortable.

So relaxed.

It is as if warm rays of sunshine are surrounding your head.

Relaxing your scalp.

Your forehead.

Your nose.

Your mouth.

Your entire head.

Bringing a wonderful sense of peace.

Calm.

Relaxation and healing.

Soothing rays of relaxation.

And now that warm glow of relaxation is moving down your arms.

Relaxing all of your muscles.

All the way down through your elbows.

Moving all the way down through your wrists.

Your hands.

And fingertips.

And you are feeling warm.

Relaxed.

Calm.

And that warm glow of relaxation is moving into your back.

And all the muscles that crisscross your back are feeling loose.

Relaxed.

All the way from your upper back down through your lower back and legs.

All the way back down to your feet.

So now you are completely embraced in this wonderful warm glow of relaxation.

Of peace.

Of calm.

And with every outward breath you relax even more.

And now allow yourself to go deeper still as I count from 10 all the way down to zero.

From 10 to zero.

Just think of each count as a level of relaxation.

Each count relaxing you deeper and deeper.

10.

Peace and comfortable as you go to an even deeper state of relaxation.

9.

Going deeper and deeper.

More and more relaxed.

8.

Every muscle becoming heavier,

More relaxed.

7.

Feel the peace.

Feel the contentment.

6.

Deeper still,

Even deeper now.

5.

More receptive.

Feeling peaceful.

Feeling the contentment.

4.

Feeling more relaxed than you've ever been.

Deeper still.

3.

All the way down.

2.

To even and even deeper state of relaxation.

1.

Almost there.

Your body completely relaxed.

0.

All the way down so that your subconscious mind can help you.

Wonderful.

Feeling at peace.

Feeling contentment.

Feeling total calm.

And all is well.

While you are enjoying feeling peaceful,

Calm and relaxed,

I'd like you to think of a very relaxing time and place.

Perhaps it's a time and place you'd like to invent.

Perhaps it's a time and place you'd like to recall.

A very relaxing time.

A very relaxing place.

A very comfortable time.

A very comfortable place.

A time and place when you felt safe,

Calm,

At peace.

Think about this place.

The scenery.

Hear the sounds.

Smell the aromas.

Feel that feeling,

A safe and comfortable feeling of well-being.

Take your time and go to this place.

And when you are there,

Allow that feeling to intensify.

Really see the scenery.

Hear the sounds.

Smell the aromas.

Feel the feeling,

That safe,

Comfortable feeling of well-being.

And now,

As you are enjoying this wonderful,

Safe,

Comfortable place,

I'm going to speak to your subconscious mind.

The subconscious mind is similar to a computer.

All through our lives it is taking in information.

Things that we see and hear.

Things that we learn from others.

The subconscious mind also takes in what we observe by just being.

Everything is stored in the files of the subconscious mind,

Ready to be accessed whenever appropriate.

And this state of deep relaxation also provides the opportunity for super learning.

So,

As I speak to you now,

It isn't important that you pay attention to the words I'm saying.

You are able to have a successful,

Happy,

And prosperous life.

With confidence,

You move forward step by step and overcome every obstacle and challenge in a peaceful,

Honoring,

Loving way.

You realize you have the ability to handle any situation that arises.

You make decisions with confidence.

You make each decision using present knowledge.

And once you make a decision,

You are comfortable with it.

You know that if you acquire new knowledge,

You have the ability to make a new decision.

You have confidence in yourself and the decisions you make.

You have many qualities and assets that cause people to like you.

You are interested in others.

You are confident in social situations.

You know you have the ability to contribute something when talking with a group of people.

You are patient.

You are tolerant of others.

You are understanding and caring,

Even with individuals who think and believe differently from you.

You are interested in what other people have to say,

And you listen attentively.

You respect the opinions and viewpoints of others even if they do not agree with yours.

You believe that each new person you meet has the potential of becoming your friend.

You are relaxed when with others.

You enjoy meeting new people.

You are confident about your appearance.

You are comfortable with yourself at all times.

You are relaxed around others regardless of what you are wearing.

You accept yourself with all of your skills,

Talents,

And abilities,

And accept your humanness.

You know you are not perfect,

And you are comfortable with that fact.

Because you are confident and comfortable within yourself,

Others want to be with you.

You encourage them to feel good about themselves because you feel good about yourself.

You are successful in everything you do.

You are willing to work diligently for all of your goals.

You believe in yourself and your ability to succeed,

So you continue pursuing your goals as long as it is appropriate to do so.

You stop pursuing a goal when you realize it is best to do so.

You know that success comes from having personally appropriate goals and from working conscientiously toward them.

You attract to yourself what you think and what you believe,

So you always keep your thoughts on goals you want to achieve and on uplifting ideas that are personally appropriate.

And your beliefs are always honoring of yourself and of others.

One of the most important goals in life is to keep becoming a better person.

And you do that by being the self-confident,

Self-assured person you are capable of being.

You continue becoming more successful because you deserve to be successful.

You are a good person.

You are a personally powerful person.

Inner mind,

If there is any resistance to these suggestions,

We ask that you provide insights regarding all beliefs and experience which may cause this and resolve these barriers by altering the beliefs and the meanings of the experiences so the suggestions will be accepted and put into use.

You are intelligent,

Honest,

Kind,

Caring,

Loving,

And patient.

You honor yourself and others.

You are trustworthy.

You easily feel happiness and joy.

You radiate confidence.

You know life is to be enjoyed and love and kindness are to be shared.

Each day you feel more confident and so it is.

And this is good.

Each time you enter a state of deep relaxation of hypnosis,

You will go more deeply,

More quickly,

And more easily.

I am now going to count from one to five and on the count of five you will open your eyes,

Be fully aware,

Feeling wonderful in every way.

One,

Slowly now,

Gently begin returning to full awareness.

Two,

You feel perfect in every way.

Three,

You feel a stirring surge of energy becoming more aware of your physical body.

Four,

Your entire body wonderfully refreshed and relaxed.

Five,

Fully aware and alert,

Eyes open,

Take a deep breath and stretch.

You are fully aware,

Alert,

And relaxed and you feel wonderful.
