Unlike in entertainment hypnosis - when we use hypnosis for therapeutic reasons - your hypnotherapist will often use relaxation techniques to help promote the conditions compatible with trance. I'd like to share my favourite relaxation technique with you, it is great for promoting sleep. If you'd like an audio copy of this - please contact me - HypnotherapyKat ENJOY :-)

Tension for relxation

I’m going to have you relax each part of your body starting from the top of your head all the way down to your feet and what I’d like you to do is, as I refer to each part of your body I want you to place all of your focus on that part and try to tense it up,  clench, or tighten up that specific muscle as much as you can, and then you can let go and release it … and as you let go you can allow that portion of your body to relax completely.


Let’s begin with the top of your head, tense all the muscles around your forehead, your eyes, your cheeks and even your nose for a few moments … and let go completely and relax … just get rid of all the tension … now tense all the muscles around your mouth, your chin and your jaw … and just let them go and let them relax … that’s right … now tense all the muscles in your neck for a moment, the front parts and the back … and let go … tense your shoulders area and your upper arms as much as you can … and now let them go completely …the let them droop down heavy and relaxed … now tense all the muscles from your elbows, down through to your forearms, your wrists, all the way down to your fingertips, clenching your fists closed as tight as you can … and just let go, allowing them to be totally relaxed and to be still.


And as you continue to breathe regularly and comfortably … I’d like you to tighten up all the muscles in your chest area … and let go now and continue to relax … and tighten up all the muscles in your stomach … hold it for a few seconds … and as you let go you allow all of the stress and tension to leave your body completely … now tighten up the areas around your hips, your bottom, and even your thighs … and just let go, allowing yourself to relax more and more … and now tighten up the muscles of your calves, ankles, your feet and toes … make them tight and clenched as much as you can … and as you let go, allow everything in your body to relax completely … from the top of your head, to the bottom of your feet, you can allow yourself now to relax completely and deeply.
