Hello, I'm Mark Bowden, clinical hypnotherapist. This session is a blissful guided meditation, self-hypnosis session to condition you to having more exercise motivation. So, just make sure you're comfortable. And just before we begin, I'd like you to be aware that all of my sessions are available on the convenience of my app, and you can get details of this in the description below. And also, if you wouldn't mind clicking on the thumbs up to leave a like and subscribing, which really helps to support my channel. And if you like, leave a comment below, tell me what you think, and maybe any other sessions that you would like me to produce in the future.
And as you make yourself comfortable, make sure you don't listen while driving or doing anything that requires your full attention. But right now, you can just relax and take the time, your time, to start making those wonderful changes and improvements, and at the same time, allowing yourself to drift off into a wonderful and blissful state of relaxation. So, just settle quietly. And if you hear any other sounds, these will not disturb you, as the only sound that you need to be aware of right now is the sound of my voice. And you can choose to let your mind wander and see the amazing new image of you in the future, looking so healthy, as you have so much more motivation to exercise, or you can simply choose to listen intently to my words, whatever is best for you.
And whilst you are listening to the sound of my voice, you can just allow yourself to be as languid as you wish. As for now, there is nothing you need to do, as we can start to condition your unconscious to make better and healthier decisions for you, naturally and automatically. So now, just relax. That's good.
And whilst you're lying down, I just want you to be aware of your body. Be aware of your hands and where they are resting. Be aware of your arms. Maybe sense the weight of your head as the back rests against the surface it's on. And you may even notice that it starts to feel heavier as the tension starts to leave your body. And now, be aware of the ways of your whole body, noticing the dial as you relax. It feels as though your body gets heavier and heavier. [Music] Sinking deeper and deeper, heavier and heavier. [Music] If you relax more and more.
And now, think about your breathing. Notice that it gets steadier and slower, breathing so slowly and so steady, almost as if you were pretending to be asleep, relaxing more and more, priming yourself to make such wonderful changes. It is so beneficial for your health and your body. And notice the gentle rise and fall in your tummy as you inhale and exhale slowly and evenly, inhaling life-giving oxygen into your lungs, as the oxygen moves around your body, healing, therapeutic, and so relaxing. And what a wonderful feeling, knowing that you can enjoy this feeling of relaxation just as much as you wish. And at the same time, knowing that your brain is in a state of wonderful change that is so beneficial for you, your health, and your body, relaxing deeper and deeper.
And now, or in a moment, you can allow yourself to sink into another level of even deeper relaxation as you continue to drift deeper down into relaxation. I wonder if you can sense the beating of your own heart. And seeing whether the power of your mind can slow your heartbeat down, only a touch. But you really are in control, as your whole body begins to slow down into deeper and deeper relaxation, the perfect state to create wonderful and long-lasting changes, naturally, effectively, and without effort. And you look forward to the increase in motivation to exercise, looking forward to how wonderful this will be for you and your body.
And right now, there is nothing for you to do but relax. You can allow your whole body to completely relax. And now, I want you to imagine just how it would feel if you were completely relaxed, total relaxation. How would your body feel? How heavy would it feel? How would your muscles feel if they were completely relaxed? How would they feel if all tension simply evaporated into the air? And as you imagine how this would feel, notice that your body starts feeling this way, drifting down towards complete relaxation, as there is nothing for you to do but relax. This is your time to let your conscious mind drift off, so that your subconscious mind can begin to make the changes that you want, the healthy changes that are for your benefits, the healthy changes that will make you feel better, look better, and be better.
And as you listen to my voice, you notice that with every word I say, it enters into your mind and relaxes you deeper and deeper. The sound of my voice as it resonates into your mind, relaxing you deeply and giving you a feeling of well-being. And as you continue to let my words drift into your mind, I want you to be aware that everything I say is for your benefits. And you can listen to my words or let your mind wander, whatever you want to do is the perfect way for you. Your subconscious mind will always be listening and will always absorb my positive suggestions to help you to achieve everything that you wish and make the changes that you want to make. So therapeutic and so relaxing.
And now, as you allow yourself to continue to relax, I want you to think about something that you absolutely love to do. [Music] Whatever this might be, something that as soon as you think about it, it feels as if energy fills you with excitement and desire to do it. And imagine this now. And if you cannot think of anything right now, I'd like you to imagine what it would feel like if there was something that you did feel this way about. How would you know that you were so excited? Where would you feel that feeling? Something that you love to do so much. And now, with this feeling, feel and notice as you think about what this feeling would feel like, you actually start to feel that exciting feeling within you.
And now, you can just clear your mind. And now, I would like you to think about your feelings of doing exercise. Imagine now that you wanted to go and do some exercise, and imagine the feelings of desire that you just felt, and allow these feelings to grow and strengthen within you, feeling these feelings within you, grow these feelings that you can transfer in your feelings about exercising. Feel it now, growing within you, allowing it to spread throughout your body, making you feel like a coiled spring, primed and ready, excited, and really desiring to feel yourself exercising. You know how you will feel about yourself in the future, as you feel more vibrant and you feel more healthy.
And now, I would like you to imagine seeing something that makes you really happy, makes you really excited to see. And notice how bright this picture is in your mind. Notice what it looks like when you see it. When you see it in your mind's eye, is the image close to you or is it far away? Really concentrate on the image that you see. Notice the happiness and the excitement in the picture. And again, clear your mind.
And once more, I would like you to see yourself exercising and see this picture in the same vibrancy and the same brightness as the image that makes you really happy. And allow the image of you to be the same as the picture that fills you with excitement. And notice what you see becomes bigger and brighter in your mind's eye and completely takes over what you are seeing. The view of you exercising, the exciting image, the happy image, all of you exercising, seeing yourself becoming fitter, seeing yourself becoming healthier, and seeing yourself an even better version of you, right now. And see the visible signs of excitement and happiness within you as you exercise, right now.
And if there's something that you love to do, something in your life that really makes you feel great when you feel this way, what is your inner talk like? What sort of things do you say to yourself if you are going to do something that you really love to do? [Music] Maybe it's words like, "This is going to be great," or "I love doing this." Or maybe you say to yourself, "I feel amazing whenever I do this, and I want to do it more and more." Or maybe it's something completely different. But whatever it is, notice that your inner talk is positive. Your inner talk is encouraging, and your inner talk motivates you to want to do more of it.
Clear your mind once more. And right now, I would like you to think about exercising. And as you think about exercising, I would like you to imagine the same wonderful inner talk resonating within you. And as you think about exercising, maybe your inner talk is saying, "This is great," or "I love doing this," or "I feel amazing when I do this, and I want to do it more and more." Or maybe it's something completely different. Just allow yourself right now to continue thinking about yourself exercising as you allow your inner positive talk to resonate within you. Happy, positive inner talk that makes you think wonderful things about exercising, thinking about how much that you desire to be exercising, like a coiled spring, primed and ready to exercise, thinking about how wonderful that exercising will be for you, so beneficial for your body, your confidence, your self-esteem, all the advantages. As your inner talk continues to say how great exercise is and how much you love to exercise. And you'll notice that whatever you think of, you're eligible in the future, the same inner talk filled with positivity, happiness, and desire about exercise, who filled your mind, driving you for exercise, positive happiness, and desire about exercise, filling your mind and your inner talk.
And as you allow this same inner talk of positivity to resonate inside your mind, I want you to imagine you 12 months from now. A you in 12 months' time that has continued to be so motivated to exercise. A you that has exercised regularly and has enjoyed exercising this often. And imagine now looking at your future self and noticing the improvements in the way that you look, that wonderful way that you look, right now, 12 months into the future. And allow yourself to feel proud and wonderful about what you have achieved. And notice, notice how you have grown in confidence and your self-esteem has gone up so much more. And notice the look upon your face that shows this, the look of confidence and self-esteem. Your body that looks so wonderful, so incredible.
And right now, I would like you to step into this healthier you, 12 months from now. And notice how much healthier that you instantly feel. Notice how much more energy that you have. And it's like inhaling eucalyptus or menthol, feel that wonderful [Music] refreshing feeling. And feel your new body, the confidence resonating through you as you hold yourself upright and with tremendous self-esteem, as you feel this wonderful new you, 12 months from now. And it feels great.
And now, as you see what it's like to be you in 12 months from now, feel how it feels to be you in this future, knowing that you are on this path with this super desire and massive motivation, enjoying exercise more and more, as these new associations to exercise continue to grow and grow, creating stronger and stronger neuro connections in your brain, making this feeling and desire to exercise more and more of an automatic feeling, a natural way of life that you can enjoy and get more and more out of, improving your life and every part of it, as you see yourself exercising and really enjoying it, really excited to be exercising, that wonderful look upon your face, a look of enjoyment and achievement, as you become more and more excited to exercise as each day passes, and you enjoy more and more the act of exercising, allowing it to become a real natural part of what you do, a natural way of life that you can enjoy and get more and more out of, improving your life and every part of it. And you enjoy more and more the act of exercising, allowing it to become a real natural part of what you do, a natural way of life that you can enjoy and get more and more out of, improving your life and every part of it. [Music] [Music]
And so, in a moment, I'm going to wake you from your trance, and you will wake easily and feel refreshed and amazing. And the next time I hypnotize you, you will find yourself surrendering even more easily and going even deeper into trance, accepting my suggestions even more powerfully. But now, I will bring you out of trance as I count from one to five. And when I say the number five, you will come out of trance and wake feeling good, feeling great, and feeling very refreshed. So, one, feeling good. Two, feeling wonderful, and the numbness is starting to lift from your body and your mind. Three, becoming closer and closer to my voice. Four, open your eyes now if you haven't already done so. And five, completely awake now, feeling good about yourself and having enjoyed this session. You come out of trance, and you are now ready to approach life with even more passion and vigor. And let's do this again soon and build on this session even more.
