Slow Down Into The Moment

This hypnosis was designed to slow down the rush we sometimes feel -- whether it is to get a relationship to a specific phase of commitment, to reach a certain goal, or to get to whatever is next. It quiets anxious thoughts and feelings and guides the listener's nervous system back to the natural pace of life.

So go ahead and get comfortable, Sitting or lying down in a way that feels easy for your body and gently close your eyes taking a slow breath in and a long breath out again inhale and exhale letting your shoulders drop now imagine a beautiful light a light that is your very favorite color forming at the top of your head let this light of awareness move down into your forehead softening any tension there and feel the awareness flow to your eyes as you notice how deeply relaxed they are and as you easily double that relaxation the bright light meets your jaw and your jaw unclenches and moves down to your neck and your shoulders and your shoulders drop even more as you go even deeper bring that awareness down through your arms and your hands feel it move into your heart space and in response your heart space opens preparing to receive whatever comes the light continues through your body flowing through your legs and flushing out through your feet and notice now your entire body so deeply relaxed so deeply supported now as I count down from five you allow your body to settle a little more with each number five beginning to soften four your breath slowing naturally three your body becoming heavier and more supported two your mind quiets fading into the background and one fully settling into this moment there's nothing you need to figure out right now nothing you need to solve nothing you need to reach for your mind might still be active and that's okay you don't have to stop it just let your breath continue steady and unforced continue to notice the support beneath your body the way your body is being held without effort it's not your job to hold everything together right now but without trying to change anything your body settles even deeper notice that settling even if it's subtle notice that when there's nothing to chase nothing to move toward your system begins to remember a different pace a slower pace and at this slower pace there is no urgency there's no need to move ahead no need to get somewhere else everything is allowed to unfold one moment at a time and you can stay right here not leaning forward not reaching outward just here in this space the part of you that rushes ahead doesn't need to disappear it can simply slow down it can because there is no moment that requires you to move faster than this right now your body is beginning to understand you don't have to secure anything you don't have to hold on to anything tightly whatever is meant to stay does not need to be rushed what is still unfolding can take its time and you can stay with yourself while it does as your body settles into this slow yet natural pace allow these simple thoughts to land you don't have to force them just gently repeat them in your mind what is meant for me will meet me at my pace what is meant for me will meet me at my pace what is meant for me will meet me at my pace i am enough even in the in-between i am enough even in the in-between i am enough even in the in-between i can stay connected to myself i can stay connected to myself i can stay connected to myself i can stay connected to myself allow these statements to integrate into your subconscious even if you don't fully believe them now allow your mind and body to simply hear something new and in their own time they will learn it in a moment i'll count up from one to five and with each number you can begin to return feeling a little more present a little more clear and holding on to this sense of calm so one bringing awareness back to your body two small movements returning to your fingers and your toes three gently noticing your breath four taking a slightly deeper breath in and out five eyes open when you're ready feeling safe grounded and at ease within yourself
