Carolyn Thompson, a certified hypnotherapist, shares her effective hypnosis technique incorporating body scan, breathwork, eye movement learned through various sources. She emphasizes the importance of the space between words to engage the brain for neuroplasticity. Listeners are guided through relaxation by focusing on breath and body parts to achieve a heightened sensory experience and a sense of calm and clarity. The session ends with options to either come out of hypnosis or deepen the state.
Hello, this is Carolyn Thompson. I am a certified hypnotherapist and I'm here to provide a bit of assistance and guidance and an overview of a hypnosis technique that I use with my clients. And I'm sharing this with you now, not only for your sake, but perhaps that you might share this technique with others, learn this technique and what makes my technique particularly effective is just a couple of things. The body scan that I learned through MIT Sloan, through my neuroplasticity course, the breathwork that I learned, Wim Hof breathing, influence through Andrew Shuberman's podcast, eye movement.
I learned through EMDR training that was suggested through the program at Sloan. These are some of the techniques that I incorporated, but what makes my delivery particularly successful is simply the space between my words. It's not just the words themselves, but the space between the words that flows the brainwaves down to the nervous system and promotes neuroplasticity and curiosity as to what I will say next. So this odd speaking style trains the brain to focus on my words.
And so as we do this, you won't be driving or doing anything that might be dangerous while you're in a altered state of relaxation and focused on what I'm saying. If you are currently under the care of a doctor or have any medical conditions, please get your doctor's consent before going forward with this recording. There are background, there's more background information I will provide regarding this recording at the tail end of the hypnosis. So I'll give the background information at the end, as mentioned.
I've tried this in several different formats and found that that's truly the best approach. So get yourself seated comfortably with no distractions. Get yourself seated comfortably with no distractions. And if you need to use the restroom, get yourself some water. Now is the time. And then when you're ready, simply come back to this recording. And notice your breath now as we begin. Just notice your breath. As we begin this hypnosis session. Breathe deeply through your nose now and out through your mouth three times.
And once done, resume to comfortable breathing. Put your attention now to the top of your head as you breathe comfortably. Nervous your breath in and your exhalation. And then your forehead, just feeling more and more relaxed, a sense of calm and clarity. Notice your breath. Putting your attention on your forehead, with the forehead relaxing. With every breath you take. Breathing and noticing how relaxed your eyes are. Eyes relaxing, a sense of calm and clarity. And now we're going to take a deep breath in and a deep breath out.
And now we're going to take a deep breath in and a deep breath out. And now we're going to take a deep breath in and a deep breath out. And now we're going to take a deep breath in and a deep breath out. Eyes relaxing, a sense of calm and clarity. Relaxing your ears, your left ear. Putting your attention on your left ear as you continue to breathe. And now your right ear. And you may notice, over the next hours, days and weeks, that your senses become heightened as the noise in your life is turned down.
So putting your attention back on your eyes, notice your breath, and imagine what it'd be like as your eyes gently shut, if they're not already. Imagine your vision and your intuition becoming stronger as you have this mind-body connection. Colors, more vivid. Breathing is easier. Perhaps you notice things, or will notice things that you hadn't noticed before. You notice, perhaps, expressions on people's faces as conversations evolve. You can see how the different nuances in conversations are reflected on their faces, because as you continue to breathe now, you'll be breathing then, and more in tune.
Between your eyes, the world around you, and your interpretation. Noticing your breath, you can imagine this heightened sense of visual acuity. And now your ears. Noticing your hearing become better with every breath you take. You may notice sounds you hadn't heard before, and not to overwhelm those senses, just to be wonderfully aware. It's time to notice your breath now. Breathing in health and healing, and letting go of tension. Notice this with every breath you take. Putting your attention on your nose and your sense of smell.
Getting heightened. Perhaps to a point where it's significantly noticeable. As you notice your breath, you feel your cheeks relax, your jaw relax, a sense of calm and clarity as you relax your jaw. And the tension you may have been holding in your jaw or your face. As you notice your breath. And amazingly, after this session, as you look in the mirror, you may notice significant tension lifted from your face. And how odd and wondrous it may be to see that something such as a hypnosis session can work like a facelift.
Lifting all the pressure from your face and your head. Relaxing your neck now, and your shoulders. You feel your shoulders get lighter and lighter still. And breathing in the health and healing. A sense of calm and clarity. And now exhale anything that doesn't serve you. Taking it and blowing it out at a pace that serves you. And I will remain silent for a moment. Will you notice this? Taking a breath in, letting it cleanse you, and blowing out anything that does not serve you.
Just noticing your breath. Noticing how light your head feels. Relaxed. From the top of your head, your scalp, all the way down your face. The back of your head. Your neck. Now imagine relaxing your brain. Letting go any tension that you may have been holding in your head. Breathing now. As a way of taking deep, refreshing breaths now. Letting it all out. Any pressure, tension, discomfort. Noticing your breath. Putting your attention on your chest and letting your chest relax.
Noticing a wonderful feeling of calm and clarity. Converting to your chest. As you continue to breathe. Breathing in deeply now, through your nose. And letting it out through your mouth. And then again. Returning to your relaxed breath and breathing now. And putting your attention on your shoulders. Back to your shoulders. Letting your shoulders relax. And working your way down your arms. Letting your arms just relax. Perhaps as if they're floating. And then your hands. Now imagine any energy that may be trapped in your body just going right out your fingertips.
Really breathe out your fingertips. And you do this as you continue breathing. Nice relaxing breath. And I'll be quiet for a moment while you do this. And focusing on your breathing. Nice relaxing breath. And working your way back to your chest. And your stomach. And notice how I'm inhaling in your stomach. A sense of calm. And clarity. And intuition. Now putting your attention on your waist. Letting your waist relax. Going down your knees. And down your shoulders.
Going down your knees. As you continue to breathe. Notice how light and airy your legs feel. Now down to your feet. Your ankles. As you notice your breath. The arches of your feet. Your heels. And your toes. Noticing your toes relax. And you go back up to your head. Notice how it's relaxed now. And work your way back down. Go back to your neck. Letting your shoulders relax once again. And your spine. Working your way back down.
Working your way slowly from the back of your neck down your spine. As you continue to breathe. And now to your bottom. Working your way down to the back of your legs. As you continue to breathe. Working your way down to the back of your legs. As you continue to breathe. And now. If you'd like to come out of the hypnosis. Come out of the hypnosis state. You can choose to come out of the state now.
Or you can stay in this hypnosis state. And I'll repeat this step. In about another five minutes or so. So you can either stay in a relaxed state. Or a more awakeful state. Should you choose to come in a more wakeful state. You can be around the room. You can take a deep breath. And then you can open your eyes. And then to make sure you're in a more wakeful state. You can do some simple calculations.
In your head. Write it down. That will help bring you into a more alert state. If you want to continue this hypnosis. And you happen to have followed me out of the hypnosis state. Or want to go back into a deeper state. You can just notice your breath. Breathing deeply through your nose. Not through your mouth. A sense of calm and clarity. In your natural relaxed state of breathing. No pressure. Perhaps you notice yourself feeling like you're in a state of floating.
Lightness. Lavity. And clarity. Perhaps you notice the release. Release. Focus. Calm. Clarity. And confidence. Knowing you are where you're supposed to be. And that this moment is meant for you. So as you notice this can you notice. Your scalp relaxed. Your head. Your eyes and ear relaxed. Your nose and mouth relaxed. Your cheeks relaxed. And your jaw. Perhaps you notice a warm comfort in your chest. And your stomach. As you continue to breathe. Drawing in health.
And energy. And letting it flow through your body. Cleaning and clearing. As it goes. And then just releasing any air and energy right out your fingertips. Anything that's not disturbing you. You can just release it right out your fingertips. And now continuing with your breath. Always continuing with your breath. Breathing calmly. At a pace that's comfortable to you. Imagine. That you are breathing. Imagine. A happy experience you recently had. Perhaps it's something clever you discovered. Or just looking up at the sun.
Feeling a cool breeze. Hearing something. That made you smile. Whatever it is. Imagine this feeling in front of you. With all of its qualities. With all of its attributes. Whatever it means to you. Maybe it's a sound. A weight. A temperature. A texture. Perhaps it's wet. Like cool water. Or warm like sand. Or the radiant sun upon you. Imagine the attributes. As you notice your breath. Now make these attributes. More vivid, stronger, bolder. Whatever it means to you.
Practice louder. But in a wonderful way. Turn it up in a way that matters to you. Turn it up in a way that matters to you. Imagine these attributes and notice your breath. You can. Now. Turn down these attributes. Make them smaller. And smaller still. As you notice your breath. And now you can pull these feelings right into your heart. These wonderful feelings. And right into your heart. And let them penetrate your heart. With great joy.
As you notice your breath. And now again. You can amplify these feelings. You can turn them up. As you always continue to notice your breath and let it react to you. A sense of calm. With joy in your heart. This wonderful joy now. You can bring this sense of joy. From your heart. And move it up to the top of your head. To your scalp. And letting your scalp relax. With this wonderful joyous feeling. Just continue to breathe.
As you notice the attributes on your scalp. These wonderful feelings. And now as you breathe. Move these feelings to your forehead. Notice them in your forehead. And now take a deep breath through your nose. And let it out through your mouth. As you also feel this sensation in your forehead. And now in your eyes. As you breathe calmly. And in a relaxed state. Now your ears. Bring this wonderful sensation into your ears. First your left ear.
Now bring it to your right. Notice all of these attributes in your right ear. And take some time. As you notice your breath. Now your left ear. Notice your breath. As you continue to notice your breath. With your attention now. On your nose. On your forehead. On your forehead. On your forehead. On your forehead. On your nose. This wonderful feeling on your nose. On your forehead. On your forehead. On your forehead. On your forehead. On your forehead.
On your forehead. On your forehead. On your forehead. On your forehead. On your forehead. On your forehead. On your forehead. On your forehead. On your forehead. On your forehead. Now your mouth. Notice this wonderful feeling. On your lips. And in your mouth. And now your jaw. As you continue to breathe. Notice this wonderful feeling on your face. Letting it penetrate your neck and shoulders now. As you continue to breathe. Going from your shoulders. To your chest.
Back to your chest. This wonderful feeling. And notice how it felt in your chest before and how it's different now. And how you can amplify it. And refresh and renew this feeling. As you continue to breathe. And you can pass this feeling now to your stomach. Letting your stomach relax. Experiencing this joyous feeling. As you notice your breath. And then working this way down to your legs. And as you do. Take a deep breath. Take a deep breath now and let it out through your mouth.
And take another deep breath through your nose. And let it out slowly now through your mouth. Pressing like you're blowing through a straw. And as you do this. Let this wonderful feeling go down through your legs and to your feet. And out your toes. As you return to breathing normally. Letting the sensation now penetrate your whole body. Envelop your whole body. Your essence. Your aura. Going above your head now. And imagine as if it's a radiant sun or shower.
Shining upon you with these wonderful feelings. And letting it penetrate you. Letting it wash over you. As if it were a shower of sun. Of health and healing. And letting it flow. Throughout your body. To and through every cell. As you notice your breath. And this health and healing. A healthy energy. Flowing throughout you. Flow and freedom. Calm and clarity. With wonderful intuition. With wonderful intuition. For health and healing. And now. I'm going forward as you notice your breath.
And you become more mindful in a relaxing way of your breath. In the coming hours and days. As you notice your breath. And you notice the healing. A sense of calm and clarity. Breathing deeply. Not just when you sense that it's needed. But preemptively. Not just breathing. A state of clarity and confidence. Of knowing. And health and resilience. Strength. Security. And notice this whenever you mindfully notice your breath. And notice how. You can be both calm and strong.
As you notice your breath. And now. When I count to three. You'll get into a more relaxed state. One. Noticing the room. Two. Take a deep breath through your nose. Let it out through your mouth. Noticing your breath. And now take a deep breath through your mouth. And let it out through your nose. Three. Opening your eyes. Becoming fully alert and aware of the room. And I say hello. And you say hello back. Welcome back to.
A slightly. More alert state. A calm state. And now breathe again. Deeply through your mouth. Let it out through your nose. Becoming fully alert. Wide awake. And say hello again. And may you notice your breath going forward. In health and clarity. Best wishes. For a wonderful life.
