Hello this is Jamie Lee, a coach and hypnotist. 

I’ll be guiding you through a hypnotic relaxation 

So if you’d like to take a moment — please make sure you’re not driving a vehicle or operating any heavy machinery

as I’ll be inviting you to close your eyes and relax for less than ten minutes. 

Perhaps you’d like to hit pause here and give yourself time to find somwhere comfortable to sit or lie down. 

So now… 

As you shift your body so that it’s nice and comfortable 

I invite you to close your eyes 

and bring your attention to your breathing 

as you inhale deep into your belly 

and exhale twice as long 

and as you notice your lungs expanding and contracting 

and feel what its like to be breathing 

imagine that each breath sends relaxation to wherever it needs to go 

[deep inhale and exhale] 

imagine that with each breath you can relax the muscles in and around your eyes 

as well as the muscles at the back of your tongue 

you may notice that your jaw relaxes along with it as your mind quiets down 

Take a moment to bring your attention to your heart 

and imagine that you’re breathing right through your heart 

so that each breath, each heart beat sends more relaxation and a comforting sense of aliveness througout your body 

and anywhere else you need it 

I don’t know where, but you know where that is 

as you go deeper into relaxation 

I invite you to imagine a beautiful celebration room in front of you 

It is beautiful and festive in exactly the way you want it to be 

and before you step into the room

take a moment to leave behind what’s no longer needed and what’s no longer useful for you in the celebration room or in the new year  

like a person placing a heavy bag down on the floor after a long journey 

notice what that’s like for you as you leave behind what’s no longer needed 

and you prepare to step into the celebration room, where there is joy and light 

and ahead that celebration room is decorated with all your favorite things 

and lit up just the way you like it 

and as crowded or as quiet as you like 

noticing your body becoming more relaxed, comfortable, and lighter 

now as I count from three to one, i invite you to imagine that you walk into the celebration room 

Three letting go of what you no longer need 

Two becoming lighter 

 One stepping through and entering the celebration room 

Take a moment to notice what it’s like inside 

Notice who else is in this celebration room to celebrate your accomplishments and triumphs and lessons 

and whose accomplishments and triumphs and lessons you most want to celebrate 

As you look around the room, you notice 

in the center of this celebration room is a beautiful table that you can set just the way you like 

you can adjust the table cloth and the ceterpiece to the shape and color and style you like 

you can seset the number of plates and utensils so that it accommodates your beloved friends and family

you can have it set with your favorite holiday treats that nourishes and brings you joy 

allowing your imagination to freely decide 

notice if there are any other adjustments you’d like to make 

maybe a dash of this or a dash of that 

so that this table is as joyous and welcoming as you like it to be 

now as I count from three to one 

you’ll imagine yourself sitting down at this beautiful table along with your favorite people 

Three making those final touches that make it extra special 

Wwo taking your seat at the table exactly where you want to be 

One now sitting down and taking in the sights, smells, and the sensations of being surrounded by your favorite treats and people 

as you soak up the joy and delight of this beautiful celebration at this beautiful table 

notice once again what it’s like to be so light and loved and well-nourished 

And perhaps that leads to a feeling of growing confidence and connectedness 

and perhaps you can feel your inner resources grow for the new year ahead 

let you unconscious soak it all in just the way you want and need 

in a moment i’ll be guiding you back to this present moment 

so knowing that this is a place you can easily come back to 

start to bring your awareness back into your toes and fingers 

and you might feel yourself wanting to wiggle those toes and fingers 

or roll your shoulders and take a big stretch as your open your eyes
