Weight management script

And in this wonderful state of physical as well as mental relaxation…  you can be surprised how easy it is… to let your mind wander…  and as you’re wondering where your mind will wander… you can imagine resting peacefully inside a bubble… as the bubble floats gently… over a tranquil meadow.  And I don’t know what colour the bubble is… because this is your bubble… a bubble that is here for you.  And I don’t know what peaceful sounds you might hear… or how wonderfully still the silence can be at times… because this is your bubble… a bubble that is here for you.  And even though at times the bubble bounces softly against the warm grass… it never breaks… because the bubble is strong… and you can rest peacefully knowing at all times… that this is your bubble… and the bubble will protect you… no matter where you travel…

Floating gently now… notices how easily you the bubble can move up… and down… under your control… as you continue to float over the meadow.

And already you can feel… what a comforting effect… being inside the bubble has on your mind… and your body… safe in the knowledge that nothing can hurt you… and that you are in complete control.

And in the bubble you are calm and collected… in the bubble you have all the time you need to think… all the time you need to feel… all the time you need to react… in the way you want to react… to anything outside the bubble…

And I wonder whether you’ve begun to realise that there are no worries inside the bubble… no self-doubt… only the positive and reassuring belief… that you have all the time… and resources you need… to construct your relationship with the world…

And as the bubble continues to float… you can once again be surprised how easy it is to… look down and see yourself… like watching a movie except you can move around and see yourself from different angles… moving up… and down… completely calm… in complete safety… and control…

And because you feel so calm… so safe… so in control… you can imagine now that you’re watching an event from your past… perhaps it’s an event in which you wish you had acted differently…

And you can imagine now… all the ways you might have acted differently… if only the bubble had been there to make you feel calm… and safe… and in complete control…

And as you float gently into the scene… becoming yourself… revisiting the event through your own eyes… your own ears… how wonderfully reassuring it is… to feel yourself reacting… exactly as you want to react… within the safety of the bubble… completely calm… and in complete control…

And you know that even after you wake… as you go about your life after this session… the bubble will remain with you… all you have to do is imagine it… and all harsh words… impoliteness… undue pressures… all negative influences… will bounce off the surface of the bubble… leaving you safe… and calm… and in complete control… giving you all the time you need… to construct your relationship with the world… according to your own rules…

If you are thinking about becoming a hypnotherapist please take time to research the type of accreditation and quality of tuition you will receive. Attending a well-recognised hypnotherapy training course is essential if you want to ensure you are safe and competent to practice.

Weight management script

At the bottom of the staircase there is a door… and I don’t know what colour the door is, or whether the handle is brass or wooden… because this is your door. As you reach out and touch the handle… now… perhaps you can already begin to feel just how warm it is… and you can allow yourself to let that warmth spread from your fingertips… along your arm… and over your body… feeling, now, that something important lies beyond this door. You can pause for a moment to enjoy this sensation… and now opening the door, just a little… letting your eyes adjust to the warming light beyond… and as your eyes begin to adjust, you can find yourself… in a long corridor… with full-length mirrors mounted along the entire length of its walls… and I don’t know if the walls are painted a particular colour, or whether the floor here is carpeted or wooden… because this is your corridor. Walking slowly past the first mirror you can see now how distorts a part of your body… and now… moving past the second mirror… that too distorts a different part of your body… and you can continue along the corridor… now… noticing the way each mirror gives a different reflection of you. Continuing along the corridor… perhaps you can see one mirror in particular… one that looks different somehow… perhaps the frame is a different colour… or pattern… and as you look at it now… you’re aware of that warmth over your body once more. This is the mirror you have been looking for. You can walk to that mirror now… and as you stand in front of it you can see the reflection of your ideal self… looking the way you want to look… thinking the way you want to think… feeling the way you want to feel… behaving the way you want to behave. And your reflection is smiling back at you. As she holds out her hands… you can take a step forward… into the mirror… and suddenly you’re in the mirror… inside your ideal self… looking through her eyes… you can look down and see your ideal self… looking the way you want to look… and how wonderful it feels… to feel the way you want to feel… and you can smile at your old self… who now smiles back at you from the corridor. There’s another door to the side of you… and behind the door is the life you want to lead. Perhaps it’s a situation you have imagined… or a perfect place to be your ideal self. You can go there now… opening the door… and stepping through. And you can take all the time you need to really experience yourself… looking the way you want to look… thinking the way you want to think… feeling the way you want to feel… behaving the way you want to behave. Genuine… authentic… feeling the wonderful calmness that comes with being yourself. And in your own time you can step back through the door… back to the reflection of your old self… and describe to her the things you have seen… the way you have felt… and the things she must now do… the commitments she must make… the strength that she must have… to reach this place. You can allow yourself to reach out now… embrace your old self… and feel the warmth of the special bond you share. Stepping into the corridor now… you can be surprised that as you look through the eyes of your old self again… your thoughts… your feelings… your behaviour remains as though you are your ideal self. And just as the memory of this experience will stay with you long after you leave this place… so too will you continue to think… to feel… and to behave as your ideal self… with all the strength… all the commitment you need… to do what you need to do.
