Welcome to the travelling hypnotist podcast, the ultimate destination to elevate your life through the power of travel, modern hypnosis, neuroscience and time tested wellness practices. I'm Nicole Hernandez, the traveling hypnotist, and as a Board Certified hypnotist, creator of the TTH method, and wellness expert for the Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown. I'm here to guide you on a transformative journey. This podcast features travel inspired hypnosis, real client sessions, beliefs, shifting travel stories and interviews with experts who are shaping the world of conscious living. All right, it's time to journey within and go beyond. Welcome back, it's Nicole Hernandez, the traveling hypnotist. And I've been thinking a lot about gifts lately. And not just this shiny rap kind, but the gifts of unforgettable moments. And you might know those as those heartwarming, those belly laughing those soul fulfilling moments that truly make a holiday season special. And those might be those moments where you have that messiness. And there's that joy of maybe cooking or baking holiday cookies with your family. And there's always that one gingerbread that perhaps ends up with two heads. Or maybe that's just my experience. But those are the real treasures that we remember of those off moments, the moments where things aren't perfect, and we just there's something about them that just makes us remember them forever. And it's funny, you know, I wasn't always like this, there was definitely a time when I dropped a material things not moments, like when I was 15. And there was this leather jacket hot topic with the rebellious eight ball on the back. And a quick side note here, I had no idea that the eight ball had a different meaning I was very sheltered at the time. But I imagined myself putting on this leather jacket and stretching into school. And I was finally going to be popular by wearing this one leather jacket. And I was so excited to finally see a big box underneath the tree and I would sit by that tree and sit near that box. And just imagine how my life was going to change when I finally put on this jacket. Well wouldn't you know it, Christmas day comes, we wake up in the morning, I go to pull the paper off as quickly as I can. I'm so excited to lifting the lid of this box open. And I find a pillow. But you know what? That pillow became one of the best gifts. It taught me that sometimes the most unexpected gifts are the ones that hug Ersal just right. And we grow into. And sometimes there's a gift, also like the winter headband with a giant flower on it. That just doesn't suit us. It's something perhaps that we have outgrown. And there's an opportunity to give it to someone that can benefit from it or there's an opportunity to exchange it or return it and get something that does suit you now. So this holiday hypnosis journey is all about giving ourselves the gift of transformation. So we're going to swap out stuff that's been weighing you down for something that feels lighter and brighter and more you so wants you to think of this as a holiday return policy for your inner world. And at the end of this episode, I want you to just to stay on, because I'm going to be revealing a little something extra for you a little sneak peek into something that is free and available for you to help you in the new year. So go ahead and grab your comfy socks, perhaps a warm blanket and let's get into this holiday hypnotic gift exchange. And just as a quick disclaimer, this recording is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or psychological disorder and should not be used as a substitute for proper mental health care. And as always, do not use this guided hypnosis while driving or operating any potentially hazardous equipment. Alright, so go ahead and find yourself a nice comfortable seat. A place where it is safe for you to close your eyes and to allow your mind to journey within and go beyond into the spirit of the holiday. Nice. And with your eyes closed now just began to get a sense of that dark, velvety sensation behind your eyes. And as you take a nice deep breath into your body, just allow that breath to begin to move through you, as if energizing every cell of your body, just like when you plug in a string of holiday lights, and that current of electricity begins to flow into each bulb, illuminating the whole string of lights. And as you exhale, go ahead and release any anxiety or worry just letting them melt away like snowflakes landing on warm mittens. And as you breathe in and out, just allow your mind to began to wander, to journey to travel. And to imagine yourself in a cozy room decorated for the holidays. And finding the room is illuminated with a soft glow of the white holiday lights that are gently brightening and dimming. As if those lights were sinking and coordinating with each of your inhales and exhales. So you can take a nice, deep inhale and just notice how those lights brighten. And as you exhale, just noticing how they dimmed down now. And just finding now that the air is filled with the calming scent, or pine, or cinnamon, or something else that reminds you of the holidays. And you can find that it instills a sense of warmth and peace and tranquility into your surroundings. And I want you now to get a sense of a warm fireplace with a comforting glow. And you can even hear those subtle cracks of the wood as it burns. And you can feel that gentle warmth on your face. And I'd like you to allow that sense of warmth, calm and relaxation to wash all over you. Just breathing it in allowing that warm calm pneus to move through you now. And here in this cozy room, you can find a chair. And you might imagine this chair is made of a rich velvet or a warm leather. Or something more interesting, perhaps something fantastical. And just imagine you can go and relax in that chair now. And you can notice the comfort of the chair and get a sense that as you notice yourself feeling more supported. Now you can let go of any just tiny lingering tension. And you can feel how your shoulders relax and you can release even more just finding your muscles begin to melt down your back and your shoulders are softening as your belly begins to expand. And you can breathe in and out. Just sensing yourself sinking into that relaxation of that chair and becoming so comfortable that you can easily fall asleep in that chair and imagining yourself falling asleep in that chair in that cozy room where you are safe. And you can get a sense now that your unconscious mind your higher self can rise out of that body that's resting there as if it could enter into another dimension, a dimension where it's always the holiday season. And it's time now to receive your three gifts a transformation. So I'd like your higher consciousness, your higher self to make its way over to a beautiful golden table where you're going to find three gifts and you can reach out and you can run your fingers across the textures of the ribbon or the paper. And you can sense the color and just notice it. And I want you to get a sense of that giddiness of that anticipation inside of you. That first gift begins to move towards you. And this is the gift of release. This is a unique offering, as if it allows you to exchange something that's no longer serving you. And that could be a belief that's been holding you back in reaching a goal or dream. So perhaps it's something like the notion that your best years are behind you. Or perhaps it's the belief that you must wear a mask or hide parts of yourself to be loved. Or maybe it's the pressure to conform to unrealistic expectations. And whatever that is, I want you to take a moment to hold that belief in your mind. And as you do, I wish to hold out your hands. And I want you to imagine that believe it taking form, as if appearing as a lump of coal, As if coming into being right there in your hands. That old belief. I don't know if that coal will be big, or how heavy it might feel but allow that piece of coal to symbolize that limiting belief. And it's a weight on you and on your life. And go ahead and allow the top of that box to open now. And notice that that gift can expand. And it can receive whatever size lump of coal that you need to place into it. And we should replace that lump of coal that represents that limiting belief into that box. And as you do, I want you to feel yourself being freed from that grasp of that limiting belief. And as he placed in the box, I want you to notice that the box just begins to dissolve, just assemble of it's a burden no longer yours to bear. That's right. And the second gift of transformation moves towards you. And this is the gift of a resource. And perhaps it's something that you need more of in your life. It could be courage, or discipline or even playfulness. It can be something that will empower and reinvigorate you. So want you to see or imagine your Higher Self just opening the top of that box and see inside that box now as if you could look down into it. And find a symbol there that represents that resource. It might be like a heart, or an anchor, or a star, or horse or something else. And as you pick it up with your hands. Imagine that that symbol is glowing in your hands as if it's infused with an energy of what you want more of in your life, that playfulness to confidence, trust charisma, whatever it is that you need. And I want you to imagine bringing that symbol into your body now as if you could just bring it into your heart space or into your belly wherever it feels like it needs to go. And as you do I want you to imagine integrating and absorbing that energy deep into yourself now. And you might sense that as a tingling, or like a noticing that you just feel complete. And as you feel that sense of renewed purpose and determination radiating through your entire being you can take a nice deep breath in and out. And you can watch now as that second box fades, its energy already seamlessly woven into your core. And finally, the third box moves towards you to reveal a final gift. And as you open the top of that box now you can now find a snowglobe and as you take it out of the box you can notice is that this is no ordinary snowglobe. This is in fact, a magical spear that allows you to gaze into your future, a future transformed by that resourceful energy you've just claimed. So I'd like you to hold that gift of that snow globe in your hands now, taking that nice deep breath and bringing your attention now, to that swirling snow. Just noticing how it moves inside that snow globe. And I want you to set your imagination free, and discover a scene within that glow. Showing you six months into your future. And I want you to see that old belief the one you released and replace no longer holds you back. And I want you to witness the change that has made in your life. Envisioning the progress you've made, and the self confidence you've gained. And as you continue to breathe deeply, go ahead and lock this positive and empowered vision of yourself into your memory. That's right. And go ahead and notice that third box has disappeared. And now it's time for you to return. To go ahead and gently shift your awareness back into your resting body there as it has refreshed and rejuvenated. And I want you to feel the echoes of change resonating within you. And that deep knowing that you're different now. And now you can glide back into the present, as if emerging from this enriching holiday dream. And go ahead and take a moment to thank yourself for taking this journey today for reflecting on the gifts you received. Letting go of the limiting belief and embracing that resourceful energy and having the ability to visualize your future self. And as you prepare to return to your current state of consciousness, I want you to think about one actionable step that you can take today to truly incorporate the insights and the empowerment that you've gained from this session. So allow this step to be a powerful foundation for your transformational journey as you carry the lessons of your three gifts within you. And in your own time. When you're feeling sparkly and brand new. Go ahead and gently open your eyes. Returning to the present moment, as you've just unboxed some powerful gifts and the possibilities are endless. And if you want to keep the transformation rolling, I want you to spread the holiday cheer. And share this episode with a friend who could really use a little bit of this holiday magic in their life right now.
