0:34

0:40
Hi. It's Adam here, and in this
0:42
episode of The Hypnotist, you're going to be listening to a
0:45
hypnosis session that is based around the idea of grief, but in
0:51
quite specific circumstances. The client that I was working
0:54
with actually lost their partner in an accident and it was an
1:00
unexpected accident. And therefore that can take its
1:04
toll more in terms of grief if there is no mental preparation
1:08
and reconciliation of what's happening beforehand.
1:12
You know, contrast an accident with a long illness, and the
1:15
person whose person they love is going through a long illness can
1:19
already get their head around the idea that they might not
1:21
make it through this long illness, particularly if doctors
1:24
have communicated things beforehand.
1:26
An accident is very different, and therefore it can feel a bit
1:31
like an emotional ambush. What you're going to hear in
1:34
this is an element of framing the the grief part of the
1:40
process as something that is natural and emotions are going
1:46
to come up, and that's OK. It also links to a setting of
1:51
Easter Island. Most people are familiar with
1:53
Easter Island because of those giant rock heads that are there
1:58
on the beach, and they could recall the time that they were
2:02
with their husband on the beach at sunset around these Easter
2:06
Island heads. And that's important because
2:10
when you use regression to a memory, it's good to have very
2:15
specific, distinctive things that become a way to harness
2:21
that memory. And because they.
2:23
Could remember being in that place with their husband.
2:26
In that memory. It provided an outlet for them
2:30
to communicate, not to their husband, but to the essence of
2:36
them, all of the memories and understanding.
2:39
And a lot of people have gone through grief, have had the
2:42
experience of dreaming about the person that's no longer there,
2:45
but the in the dream, it feels like they're real because their
2:49
brain can create a very realistic representation of that
2:54
person. So it provides an outlet to have
2:57
conversations with someone that has passed as if they're there
3:01
in the present, which can be quite therapeutic and helpful.
3:05
But also there's a connotation here that they're alive for a
3:08
reason because they were also in the same accident and yet they
3:11
survived. And some people feel guilty
3:15
about that. They have this inner dialogue
3:16
of, you know, why me? Why was I the one to be alive
3:20
and, and someone else didn't? But the other side of that coin
3:23
is that, well, what if you're here for a reason?
3:26
And that reason is a very positive, empowering reason.
3:30
And the the quest or the mission or?
3:34
Whatever that. Reason is is going to be
3:36
discovered and then it will all make sense and you can create
3:40
self fulfilling prophecies from this.
3:41
When you expect good things to happen, quite often you create
3:45
the circumstances for those good things to happen.
3:49
And if you're expecting to find something purposeful and
3:52
meaningful, we'll just by thinking that you're going to
3:54
find it, you increase the likelihood of finding it and
3:59
putting yourself in the situations where you could find
4:00
inspiration. So it's partly grief, but it's
4:03
also a purpose based hypnosis session of finding a new purpose
4:09
and using certain resources that would inevitably be there more
4:14
time, you know, more autonomy and deploy them in a positive
4:19
way that can have some kind of fulfilling meaningful outcome.
4:23
So there's a bit going on here and I think you don't have to be
4:26
going through a bereavement or experiencing grief to benefit
4:31
from this. You could just think of who
4:34
would you like to have a conversation with on a beach in
4:37
Easter Island and think of that person.
4:39
And also, is there something that maybe there's a greater
4:43
purpose for you and maybe you can explore what that thing is.
4:47
So consider that while you listen to this session.
4:49
So find a quiet, comfortable place where you won't be
4:51
disturbed. Relax and just experience this
4:54
session. Take a deep breath in and as you
5:30
breathe in, just imagine breathing in a wonderful feeling
5:36
of calm and relaxation. Breathing in that relaxation and
5:44
exhaling any tension on the outward breath and maybe you can
5:50
notice that the deeper. You breathe.
5:55
The more relaxed you become, and the more relaxed you become, the
6:02
deeper you breathe, breathing in that resourceful feeling of calm
6:09
and relaxation and allowing yourself to release any feelings
6:18
of tension, sadness, any frustrations or worries, just
6:26
feel it leaving your body in that outward breath.
6:40
As you breathe in, allow yourself to breathe in slightly
6:45
deeper than the breath before, and as you exhale, just allow
6:52
the outside world to fade away as your focus turns inward,
7:00
slowly, gently, allowing each breath to guide you deeper into
7:09
comfort and ease. I want you to use the power of
7:18
your imagination to imagine an island.
7:26
Not just any island. I want you to imagine you're a
7:31
bird flying through the sky, seeing an island with giant
7:38
statues of ancient faces. Imagine being that bird and
7:46
gliding down to the shore, seeing the size, the scale of
7:53
those unique sculptures. Get a sense of the temperature,
8:02
the sandy beaches, the colour of the ocean.
8:09
And as you touch down there onto Easter Island, imagine that
8:14
you're no longer a bird. You are you, you are you.
8:21
Perhaps an hour or so before sunset.
8:25
I want you to imagine that you feel relaxed and comfortable.
8:33
Maybe you can see the position of the sun in the sky, knowing
8:38
that it's descending towards sunset but not quite sunset yet.
8:47
There might be clues that it's moving towards that element of
8:53
sunset, maybe certain hues of orange or pink or golden light
9:00
in the sky, but still time before sunset.
9:08
But because the sun is getting lower, I want you to see those
9:12
long shadows, and in particular maybe the shadows on those great
9:22
stone heads. See those heads standing tall
9:28
and silent? These are guardians of time.
9:35
They've seen things change for centuries, and they are still
9:40
there, watching over the island, just as they've done for
9:45
centuries. Maybe you can imagine the warmth
9:50
of the fading sun on your skin. A gentle breeze carries the
9:57
ocean air. Maybe there's other smells as
10:02
well. Not just the salty sea air, but
10:07
nearby trees, flowers, plants, maybe even the earthy scent of
10:14
the sand and the beach beneath your feet.
10:19
I want you to imagine walking along that beach and with each
10:27
step you feel lighter, calmer, as if this island itself is
10:33
welcoming you. I want you to imagine that this
10:39
is a place of wisdom, of reflection, a bridge between the
10:45
past and the future. I want you to feel that you are
10:51
exactly where you need to be right now.
11:00
I want you to imagine walking along a narrow path nearby,
11:08
maybe a path that leads you between the ancient statues,
11:13
faces carved with wisdom, a presence that's steady and
11:18
unmoving. But the path is leading you into
11:23
a sacred space. Now we need to notice a
11:29
comfortable spot, a place to rest, somewhere safe where you
11:36
can allow your mind. To drift.
11:39
Your heart to open, and as you settle in, you feel an
11:46
overwhelming sense of peace in this space.
11:55
You allow all the feelings within you to simply be without
12:03
judgement, without resistance. And just as the waves gently
12:10
break on the shore and retreat, emotions rise and fall on that
12:16
tray. And that's OK.
12:21
Grief is not something to be suppressed or pushed away,
12:26
something to be held, gently acknowledged and understood
12:32
before these emotions rise and fall like a wave, gently
12:37
breaking as you imagine yourself in that sacred space.
12:47
Maybe a space where you can now watch the sun lower towards the
12:51
horizon. I want you to imagine a
12:56
presence, a familiar warmth. And as you turn, you see him
13:08
standing there, just as you remember him whole, smiling as
13:16
though he has been waiting for you here.
13:23
Take a moment to truly see him. Notice the way he stands, the
13:31
look in his eyes. Feel a sense of connection.
13:36
Love. I want you to get a sense.
13:41
Then love does not end, it simply changes form.
13:49
And imagine him stepping closer, sitting right beside you just as
13:58
the sunsets. And there you are, surrounded by
14:03
these giant stone heads and just as the last golden light of the
14:10
day starts to touch the face of you and him, I want you to
14:21
imagine you hear his voice. It might feel like words being
14:30
said to you or just telepathically connecting.
14:36
You can hear what he would say, or maybe it's just a feeling and
14:43
knowing. But in this moment, he is here
14:49
with you to allow yourself just in your imagination to tell him
14:58
whatever's on your mind updates, things that have changed, how
15:06
you're coping, feelings you carry, or maybe questions you
15:13
have, short term decisions or bigger life direction type of
15:23
questions. And I want you to see a face
15:29
that is listening, understanding the person that knows you better
15:35
than most, but also someone that has wisdom to share.
15:45
I want you to get a sense that you just allow your intuition to
15:51
guide you to what he would say. Maybe he would acknowledge just
16:02
how well you've been coping, support key decisions you've
16:08
made, or maybe offer insight, suggestions, other things to
16:17
consider. I want you to get a sense that
16:24
you notice the strength that exists within you, that
16:31
resilience that you've always had.
16:36
I want you to get a sense that what if this internal
16:44
representation of him can become part of your intuition, scanning
16:55
for ideas, opportunities, things to notice.
17:02
I want you to get a sense then you think differently to how he
17:09
would think, but you know how he would think.
17:15
So allow a part within you to evolve, adapt to now.
17:23
Be a part that is represented by Him, an unconscious part that
17:32
will diligently do things to keep your life moving in a
17:37
wonderful, positive direction, offering you words of
17:41
encouragement, connection and understanding.
17:49
I want you to get a sense that there is a part of you open
17:56
minded to something new, something challenging or
18:01
fulfilling, or something that makes you feel a sense of
18:06
passion and excitement. And I want you to imagine it's
18:11
almost like you're planting a seed of an idea in your fertile
18:17
mind that is already taking root.
18:24
You are open to a new challenge, but the first quest is to figure
18:36
out the quest. And what if your intuition is
18:43
the Canary in the coal mine to tell you when you've stumbled
18:48
across something that is in the right direction?
18:55
I want you to get a sense then. You are here for a reason, even
19:04
if you don't know what that reason is yet.
19:12
But you can be open to figuring out what that reason is.
19:18
It will all make sense in the future, and it doesn't have to
19:22
make any sense to you right now. I want you to feel that your
19:30
life is beginning. A new chapter, perhaps a turning
19:36
point, a fork in the road. You're at the beginning of
19:42
something new, a quest, a mission, a sense of purpose
19:48
waiting to unfold. So as the sky deepens into
19:55
twilight, see him smiling at you.
20:00
I want you to see then, even though you know he may not
20:08
always be there in form, His essence, wisdom.
20:16
Guidance are always with you, in your heart, in your thoughts, in
20:22
the choices you make. I want you to give him a hug,
20:32
embrace him, say whatever words feel natural in this moment, and
20:38
know that you can return to this place or any other place you've
20:41
shared a memorable experience. As he goes away, take one last
20:53
look at those giant stone heads and feel that centuries of
21:00
wisdom are transferring from them into you, amplifying your
21:06
intuition, your inner compass and guidance to know at what to
21:14
do more of and what to do less of.
21:19
To treat your intuition as a compass leading you to somewhere
21:23
magical and valuable. Because when the time is right,
21:31
you are ready to step forward, not leaving the past behind, but
21:40
carrying the wisdom and lessons and memories and experiences
21:44
with you into something new. We need to imagine touching one
21:51
of the stone heads. Feel a transference of a
21:59
resource that you need right now, transferring from that
22:03
stone head into you. And as you walk away, see that
22:10
the sunset is now twilight. Maybe you can see stars, maybe
22:18
the moon there over the ocean. Feel a sense that wonderful
22:26
things are in store for you. I want you to get a sense that
22:36
it's time to leave this place, this island.
22:40
So just imagine once forming back into the bird, flying into
22:46
the night sky, and flying all the way back to where your
22:50
physical body is right now. And as you see yourself, just
22:55
imagine touching down right by your side and then turning into
22:57
you exactly where you are in this moment right now.
23:05
Very soon I will count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you.
23:12
So take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your
23:17
nose. Just wiggle your fingers and
23:19
wiggle your toes up to calibrate and connect with the here and
23:21
the now as I now count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you.
23:30
Starting to count 123, waking up 456, more alert 7-8.
23:37
Open your eyes. Open your eyes 910 Wide awake,
23:42
Wide awake. Wide awake.
