00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Hi, I'm Jessica Porter, and welcome back to Sleep Magic,

2
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:16.879
<v Speaker 1>a podcast where I help you find the magic of

3
00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:20.399
<v Speaker 1>your own mind, helping you to sleep better and live better.

4
00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:27.839
<v Speaker 1>Thank you everyone for being here tonight. I have a

5
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:30.960
<v Speaker 1>bit of an extended intro, so I'm going to forego

6
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:35.240
<v Speaker 1>the announcements and just say I'm really glad you're here.

7
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:39.640
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for being here, spreading the vibe, spreading the word,

8
00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:44.359
<v Speaker 1>and learning how to relax at the end of the day.

9
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:50.359
<v Speaker 1>I think we all need more of that tonight. Sleep

10
00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:56.159
<v Speaker 1>hypnosis for ADHD, And if you're not familiar, ADHD means

11
00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:02.359
<v Speaker 1>attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. You know, I've heard from a

12
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:06.200
<v Speaker 1>lot of listeners with ADHD that sleep Magic really helps them,

13
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:09.680
<v Speaker 1>which I'm very happy about. So I decided to do

14
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:15.959
<v Speaker 1>an episode expressly addressing this issue. I don't have ADHD

15
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:19.840
<v Speaker 1>per se, like I've never been diagnosed with it, but

16
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:26.719
<v Speaker 1>I do have some ADHD traits like I am literally

17
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:32.200
<v Speaker 1>constitutionally incapable of keeping a room tidy ask anyone I've

18
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:38.599
<v Speaker 1>ever lived with, and I really despise finishing things. I

19
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:41.159
<v Speaker 1>have all sorts of energy for starting, but when I'm

20
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:44.680
<v Speaker 1>in the last ten percent of any task, any task,

21
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:48.920
<v Speaker 1>my brain sort of wriggles and freaks out in a

22
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:55.120
<v Speaker 1>million directions to avoid closing the deal. Now, in researching

23
00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:59.319
<v Speaker 1>this episode, I've learned that ADHD is not a unique

24
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:04.280
<v Speaker 1>set of issues like a whole different thing. In fact,

25
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:09.919
<v Speaker 1>ADHD traits are all very human common issues that are

26
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:15.479
<v Speaker 1>simply amplified in the person with ADHD. We all struggle

27
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:21.759
<v Speaker 1>with executive function at times. We're all really engaged by

28
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:25.080
<v Speaker 1>things that we're passionate about and can get hyper focused

29
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:30.000
<v Speaker 1>on them. But for the person who struggles with ADHD proper,

30
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:35.360
<v Speaker 1>these qualities can be more fixed, and that can be

31
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:41.159
<v Speaker 1>challenging in a world that expects straight lines and strict schedules.

32
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:46.039
<v Speaker 1>In spite of its name, ADHD isn't about a deficit

33
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:50.800
<v Speaker 1>of attention. It's about feeling challenged when it comes to

34
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:56.080
<v Speaker 1>directing that attention harnessing it in ways that work for

35
00:02:56.120 --> 00:03:02.080
<v Speaker 1>the situation and work for one's best outcome. So handling

36
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:06.199
<v Speaker 1>ADHD requires helping the individual learn how to work with

37
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:10.599
<v Speaker 1>their own wiring in creative ways and not against it.

38
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:17.719
<v Speaker 1>And the ADHD mind has some big strengths. A mind

39
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:22.680
<v Speaker 1>that wanders is also a mind that discovers, or to

40
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:26.759
<v Speaker 1>put it another way, the same system that resists structure

41
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:33.199
<v Speaker 1>is the one that generates originality. Many highly successful people

42
00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:39.280
<v Speaker 1>have been diagnosed with ADHD, Justin Timberlake, Simone Biles, Trevor Noah,

43
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:43.199
<v Speaker 1>and Richard Branson, just to name a few. So ADHD

44
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:47.719
<v Speaker 1>doesn't preclude an individual from success, but it needs to

45
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:54.080
<v Speaker 1>be understood and respected in order to have its superpowers unleashed.

46
00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:01.199
<v Speaker 1>Among the supports for ADHD, which include medication and coaching

47
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:07.120
<v Speaker 1>design specifically for minds like this, relaxation can be very helpful.

48
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:12.759
<v Speaker 1>By relaxing and allowing the conscious mind to quiet down,

49
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:18.240
<v Speaker 1>much of the noise that ADHD people can hear, the static,

50
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:24.959
<v Speaker 1>the judgment of self, the pressure to perform, the emotional friction. Well,

51
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:30.240
<v Speaker 1>it quiets down, and as your body settles, your mind

52
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:36.759
<v Speaker 1>becomes kinder and easier to guide. And by relaxing deeply,

53
00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:41.120
<v Speaker 1>the ADHD person gets to sink back into the part

54
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:44.759
<v Speaker 1>of the mind they're more comfortable in, the subconscious mind

55
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:50.720
<v Speaker 1>full of ideas and feelings and imagination with tons of energy,

56
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:57.560
<v Speaker 1>passion and yes focus, and from a relaxed state, attention

57
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:02.279
<v Speaker 1>is gathered and steered more e easily because when the

58
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:08.120
<v Speaker 1>central nervous system is regulated, focusing becomes easier, and I

59
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:12.120
<v Speaker 1>think that's true for all of us now. Relaxation is

60
00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:14.720
<v Speaker 1>not the whole answer to this issue, just as it's

61
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:17.600
<v Speaker 1>rarely the whole answer to any problem in our lives,

62
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:22.000
<v Speaker 1>but it's a big help. It can make the journey easier.

63
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:28.639
<v Speaker 1>I wonder if Trevor Noah meditates. So tonight we take

64
00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:34.439
<v Speaker 1>a nice boat ride on the ocean and practice sailing

65
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:41.360
<v Speaker 1>our minds before we begin our only AD break, which

66
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:45.399
<v Speaker 1>makes this magic possible. To listen to AD free follow

67
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:50.199
<v Speaker 1>the link in the show notes. Even when summer is fun,

68
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:53.439
<v Speaker 1>it can leave a lot of us feeling mentally overloaded

69
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:55.680
<v Speaker 1>by the end of the day. And I've noticed lightly

70
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:58.439
<v Speaker 1>that when my brain stays switched on for too long,

71
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:02.600
<v Speaker 1>it becomes much harder to properly relax at night. That's

72
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:06.240
<v Speaker 1>something that led me to trying the tanasigummies. They've been

73
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:09.240
<v Speaker 1>such an easy addition to my routine, especially because they're

74
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:12.360
<v Speaker 1>THHC free, so I still feel calm and clear headed

75
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:15.920
<v Speaker 1>rather than foggy. They're designed to help ease stress and

76
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:20.920
<v Speaker 1>support relaxation, which honestly feels really important during busy periods

77
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:23.639
<v Speaker 1>of life. And what really makes Tanasi standout is are

87
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:09.639
<v Speaker 1>a safe and comfortable position and let's begin. Allow your

88
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:20.399
<v Speaker 1>eyes to close easily and gently. Allow your body to

89
00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:26.959
<v Speaker 1>just sink into the bed as you bring your awareness

90
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:33.600
<v Speaker 1>to your breath. No matter what your breath is doing

91
00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:40.480
<v Speaker 1>right now, whether it's deep or shallow, just attach your

92
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:47.639
<v Speaker 1>awareness to that wave of the breath, even for a moment,

93
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:53.839
<v Speaker 1>because your awareness has been running around in the world

94
00:07:53.879 --> 00:08:02.199
<v Speaker 1>all day and now we're just reeling it in one

95
00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:04.839
<v Speaker 1>moment at a time.

96
00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:14.560
<v Speaker 2>Good.

97
00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:17.439
<v Speaker 1>Now, I'd like you to bring your awareness up into

98
00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:26.199
<v Speaker 1>your eyelids and imagine that your eyelids are feeling sleepy heavy.

99
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:32.799
<v Speaker 1>Just let them feel heavy. And as your eyelids are

100
00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:36.240
<v Speaker 1>getting heavier, I'd like you to accept the suggestion that

101
00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:39.759
<v Speaker 1>your eyelids are so relaxed they cannot open.

102
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:41.919
<v Speaker 2>Now.

103
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:44.440
<v Speaker 1>I know you can open your eyes, but we're gonna

104
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:47.600
<v Speaker 1>pretend that you can't. So I'd like you to accept

105
00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:52.440
<v Speaker 1>the suggestion that they cannot open, and wiggle your eyebrows

106
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:57.519
<v Speaker 1>while your eyes remain closed. Just give them a little tug.

107
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Good as you use your imagination. Look, I can't open

108
00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:11.480
<v Speaker 1>my eyes. Great, you can stop wiggling now. Now this

109
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:17.080
<v Speaker 1>lovely heavy feeling you have in your eyelids, let's imagine

110
00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:26.200
<v Speaker 1>it's sort of melting moving backwards into your brain, like warm,

111
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:34.919
<v Speaker 1>melty chocolate sauce, taking over every single cell of your brain.

112
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:43.919
<v Speaker 1>As your head feels nice and heavy on the pillow

113
00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:51.559
<v Speaker 1>and your face is feeling soft and relaxed, the muscles

114
00:09:51.559 --> 00:09:55.320
<v Speaker 1>of your face that you don't really even think about

115
00:09:55.399 --> 00:10:06.279
<v Speaker 1>during the day but they work really hard, are letting go.

116
00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:07.039
<v Speaker 2>Good.

117
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:13.679
<v Speaker 1>And as that lovely warm chocolate sauce and your brain

118
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:19.759
<v Speaker 1>moves down into your neck, down into your shoulders, allow

119
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:31.639
<v Speaker 1>that soft, lovely warm energy to relax your shoulders, and

120
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:35.799
<v Speaker 1>as that lovely warm feeling moves down into your arms,

121
00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:40.840
<v Speaker 1>all the way down into your hands, all the way

122
00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:48.480
<v Speaker 1>down into your fingers. That heavy relaxation moving all the

123
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:51.720
<v Speaker 1>way down and causing your arms to feel.

124
00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:55.480
<v Speaker 2>So heavy.

125
00:10:56.279 --> 00:11:09.759
<v Speaker 1>So relaxed, loose and limp, letting go. Any tension or

126
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:12.279
<v Speaker 1>strain you may have been carrying up in your brain

127
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:18.840
<v Speaker 1>or down into your shoulders has released itself through the

128
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:27.519
<v Speaker 1>palms of your hands and the tips of your fingers. God,

129
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:38.799
<v Speaker 1>bring your awareness now to any sounds that may be

130
00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:46.399
<v Speaker 1>going on around you. Sounds from your room or other rooms,

131
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:57.759
<v Speaker 1>sounds from the street. Just notice them, and as you relax,

132
00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:06.120
<v Speaker 1>taking yourself deeper and deeper, allow those sounds to simply

133
00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:16.960
<v Speaker 1>move through you as vibrations. So now the sounds themselves

134
00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:26.279
<v Speaker 1>are taking you deeper and deeper, just as the sound

135
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:37.759
<v Speaker 1>of my voice is taking you deeper and deeper. Good.

136
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:48.240
<v Speaker 1>This is the magic of your own mind. As you

137
00:12:48.360 --> 00:13:06.639
<v Speaker 1>choose to go deeper, it feels really good. So as

138
00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:13.440
<v Speaker 1>we return to that warm, chocolatey feeling, let's imagine that

139
00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:24.279
<v Speaker 1>it's moving inside your chest, but it's lighter, cooler, softer,

140
00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:33.240
<v Speaker 1>and it's moving inside of you relaxing your whole rib cage,

141
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:47.080
<v Speaker 1>softening your chest from the inside out as you imagine

142
00:13:48.840 --> 00:14:01.559
<v Speaker 1>that warm feeling holding supporting your heart, allow your heart

143
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:19.159
<v Speaker 1>to feel warm and relaxed and gentle, sweet, and any

144
00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:28.279
<v Speaker 1>tension or hard feelings that may have stored themselves in

145
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:37.679
<v Speaker 1>or around your heart in the last little while have disappear.

146
00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:49.240
<v Speaker 1>As the warm chocolatey feeling moves down now into your belly,

147
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:56.759
<v Speaker 1>softening your lower back and your butt ACKs, and that

148
00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:00.279
<v Speaker 1>warm feeling going all the way down inside of you.

149
00:15:02.919 --> 00:15:08.080
<v Speaker 1>So the muscles of your belly are letting go, and

150
00:15:08.159 --> 00:15:23.120
<v Speaker 1>your breath maybe sinking deeper, and any tension that may

151
00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:28.759
<v Speaker 1>have been stored in your belly in the last little

152
00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:47.080
<v Speaker 1>while has disappeared, and you feel soft inside as your

153
00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:56.000
<v Speaker 1>pelvis feels heavy on the bed and the warm chocolatey

154
00:15:56.120 --> 00:16:03.519
<v Speaker 1>feeling moves down your legs, causing your legs to feel

155
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:12.159
<v Speaker 1>nice and heavy and relaxed, sort of melting into the bed.

156
00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:19.440
<v Speaker 1>The day is done, and your legs can let go

157
00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:28.759
<v Speaker 1>as you go deeper and deeper, and the relaxation moves

158
00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:48.480
<v Speaker 1>down into your feet and your toes. Imagine now you're

159
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:53.759
<v Speaker 1>sitting on the deck of a small sailboat, which is

160
00:16:53.840 --> 00:17:02.360
<v Speaker 1>resting easily on the surface of a calm ocean. The

161
00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:10.920
<v Speaker 1>sky is stretching out above you, wide and welcoming. The

162
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:18.200
<v Speaker 1>late afternoon light is low and golden. You feel the

163
00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:28.559
<v Speaker 1>cool air moving gently against your cheek. Your boat is

164
00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:35.359
<v Speaker 1>rising and falling slowly with the water, up and down,

165
00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:46.680
<v Speaker 1>up and down. It's a steady, natural motion, and your

166
00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:57.519
<v Speaker 1>body begins to move with it softly, gently, up and down,

167
00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:11.240
<v Speaker 1>up and down. And as you settle in on your sailboat,

168
00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:25.359
<v Speaker 1>going deeper and deeper into relaxation, you notice the breeze.

169
00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:34.240
<v Speaker 1>It's moving lightly, brushing across your face, touching your arms,

170
00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:44.960
<v Speaker 1>pushing against the sail in a gentle way. And you

171
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:51.920
<v Speaker 1>notice that the wind is always shifting. It moves in

172
00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:59.799
<v Speaker 1>one new direction and then suddenly another. And now it's

173
00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:10.319
<v Speaker 1>changing speed, gathering force, and now it's dissipating. This feels

174
00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:24.720
<v Speaker 1>familiar somehow. The wind gathers, then it softens. You look

175
00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:29.359
<v Speaker 1>down on the water. You see that the wind is

176
00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:34.880
<v Speaker 1>moving quickly across the surface for a moment, and then

177
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:46.480
<v Speaker 1>it slows down to a quiet drift. You realize this

178
00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:55.799
<v Speaker 1>is the way your conscious mind moves. Thoughts arrive then

179
00:19:55.880 --> 00:20:07.079
<v Speaker 1>shift and change direction. Sometimes energy is gathering, and then

180
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:15.200
<v Speaker 1>it moves quickly somewhere else and here on the water.

181
00:20:16.960 --> 00:20:24.640
<v Speaker 1>This type of movement is natural. The wind is alive,

182
00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:33.799
<v Speaker 1>The wind is responsive, The wind is part of the environment,

183
00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:46.559
<v Speaker 1>and your mind is the same. Your mind is alive, responsive,

184
00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Your mind is natural. As you allow your body to

185
00:20:57.039 --> 00:21:13.400
<v Speaker 1>relax even more, your shoulders softening, your jaw releasing, as

186
00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:29.160
<v Speaker 1>you go deeper and deeper, as you settle down even

187
00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:38.160
<v Speaker 1>more on the deck, you lie back and notice the

188
00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:47.400
<v Speaker 1>sail above you. As the wind moves, the sail response.

189
00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:57.559
<v Speaker 1>First it's gentle, filling softly, and now more fully, as

190
00:21:57.599 --> 00:22:03.039
<v Speaker 1>the sail catches the wind and shapes it and gives

191
00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:12.079
<v Speaker 1>your boat momentum, and you are moving forward easily, powerful.

192
00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:27.119
<v Speaker 1>And as you relax, going deeper and deeper, it's becoming

193
00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:32.400
<v Speaker 1>easier to catch the wind of your own mind. The

194
00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:39.240
<v Speaker 1>more relaxed you become, the more attention you gather, no

195
00:22:39.400 --> 00:22:45.160
<v Speaker 1>need to force or to will. As you relax, the

196
00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:58.279
<v Speaker 1>attention simply gathers and find the direction. The more I relax,

197
00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:09.720
<v Speaker 1>the more my attention gathers. The more I relax, The

198
00:23:09.720 --> 00:23:19.920
<v Speaker 1>more my attention gathers, the more I relax. The more

199
00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:37.240
<v Speaker 1>my attention gathers. You allow your fingers to dangle over

200
00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:45.000
<v Speaker 1>the side of the boat and feel the water. It's

201
00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:54.880
<v Speaker 1>cool and fresh, full of life. The ocean represents your

202
00:23:55.279 --> 00:24:05.000
<v Speaker 1>subconscious mind, your deeper mind. It's full of powerful energy,

203
00:24:06.839 --> 00:24:19.960
<v Speaker 1>your feelings, your creativity. This is your power. And as

204
00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:25.240
<v Speaker 1>you feel the waves beneath you, you realize that the

205
00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:30.359
<v Speaker 1>water has much more strength than the wind, much more substance.

206
00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:40.519
<v Speaker 1>The water is moving you and supporting you. The water

207
00:24:42.000 --> 00:25:02.720
<v Speaker 1>has power, just as your subconscious mind has power. The

208
00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:09.839
<v Speaker 1>sun is going down now, and you watch as the

209
00:25:09.920 --> 00:25:19.440
<v Speaker 1>sky paints itself in brilliant oranges and lavender and red.

210
00:25:24.880 --> 00:25:31.319
<v Speaker 1>The puffy clouds hanging over the horizon look like boats

211
00:25:32.039 --> 00:25:51.599
<v Speaker 1>on a sea, their holes illuminated by the sun. So

212
00:25:51.720 --> 00:26:01.039
<v Speaker 1>as the wind shifts and gathers in the sail and

213
00:26:01.079 --> 00:26:09.359
<v Speaker 1>the water rolls and moves beneath the surface, you relax

214
00:26:09.480 --> 00:26:17.680
<v Speaker 1>between them. You've been balancing these two forces for a

215
00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:27.839
<v Speaker 1>long time now, and the more you relax, the more

216
00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:48.480
<v Speaker 1>compatible they become. The smoother you sail. You notice a

217
00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:55.200
<v Speaker 1>wooden rudder attached to the stern of the sailboat. You

218
00:26:55.319 --> 00:27:03.319
<v Speaker 1>place your hand on it gently, It's such a simple

219
00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:16.720
<v Speaker 1>mechanism that can guide a whole boat. And the rudder

220
00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:29.599
<v Speaker 1>represents your relaxation. And as you relax, you steer the

221
00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:59.359
<v Speaker 1>boat gently, easily. Your breath is steady, your body is calm,

222
00:27:59.400 --> 00:28:05.720
<v Speaker 1>and as you just the rudder just half an inch

223
00:28:05.880 --> 00:28:12.799
<v Speaker 1>in this direction or half an inch in the other direction,

224
00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:35.720
<v Speaker 1>you catch the wind. Attention gathers in the sail, and

225
00:28:35.799 --> 00:28:43.359
<v Speaker 1>the movement of the wind carries you, moves you forward

226
00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:56.680
<v Speaker 1>through the water, moves you through your own dreams and desires.

227
00:29:09.519 --> 00:29:26.200
<v Speaker 1>As I relax, I steer more easily. As I relax,

228
00:29:28.039 --> 00:29:45.960
<v Speaker 1>I steer more easily. As I relax, I steer more easily.

229
00:30:05.599 --> 00:30:14.880
<v Speaker 1>As you go deeper and deeper, your hand is on

230
00:30:14.920 --> 00:30:33.000
<v Speaker 1>the rudder gently, just guiding, just guiding your boat as

231
00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:52.920
<v Speaker 1>you sail through the water, and the wind continues to move,

232
00:30:56.519 --> 00:31:05.480
<v Speaker 1>but now it's feeling like energy available moving through you,

233
00:31:09.160 --> 00:31:18.440
<v Speaker 1>and it's working with the water. Your whole being feels balanced.

234
00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:33.640
<v Speaker 1>As you move forward, it feels really good. As your

235
00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:41.240
<v Speaker 1>body is resting more deeply, your attention is becoming easier

236
00:31:43.240 --> 00:31:55.759
<v Speaker 1>to gather and to guide. As you relax and sail,

237
00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:16.559
<v Speaker 1>your dreams are becoming realities. As I go deeper and

238
00:32:16.680 --> 00:32:33.039
<v Speaker 1>deeper into relaxation. I focus more easily as I go

239
00:32:33.200 --> 00:32:53.960
<v Speaker 1>deeper and deeper into relaxation. I focus more easily. As

240
00:32:54.000 --> 00:33:03.400
<v Speaker 1>I go deeper and deeper into relaxation, I focus more easily.

241
00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:36.920
<v Speaker 1>The ocean beneath you feels calm now. The gentle rise

242
00:33:37.359 --> 00:33:44.119
<v Speaker 1>and fall of the boat matches the rhythm of your breath,

243
00:33:47.000 --> 00:34:03.559
<v Speaker 1>up and down, up and down, And you realize this

244
00:34:03.799 --> 00:34:15.039
<v Speaker 1>experience of sailing is moving deep into your subconscious mind.

245
00:34:21.960 --> 00:34:27.360
<v Speaker 1>So whenever you need to relax, you come back to

246
00:34:27.480 --> 00:34:44.840
<v Speaker 1>the sailboat. Whenever you need to relax, you imagine this sailboat.

247
00:34:55.599 --> 00:35:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Whenever you want to relax, you come back here to

248
00:35:04.960 --> 00:35:14.159
<v Speaker 1>the sailboat, and you place your hand on the rudder,

249
00:35:17.880 --> 00:35:50.719
<v Speaker 1>and you go deeper and deeper. The wind is becoming

250
00:35:50.960 --> 00:36:08.599
<v Speaker 1>gentler now, the sail is relaxing. Your body is feeling

251
00:36:10.239 --> 00:36:35.000
<v Speaker 1>nice and heavy, Your whole being feels soft and here,

252
00:36:35.320 --> 00:36:52.960
<v Speaker 1>floating on the ocean, you feel connected to yourself, to

253
00:36:53.000 --> 00:37:02.320
<v Speaker 1>your deep ocean of energy, to the wind of your mind.

254
00:37:10.280 --> 00:37:34.599
<v Speaker 1>As you hold that rudder of relaxation, the sky above

255
00:37:34.639 --> 00:37:46.719
<v Speaker 1>you is getting darker and the horizon is becoming less defined.

256
00:37:54.000 --> 00:38:12.159
<v Speaker 1>Your muscles are relaxing and more, your face softening, your

257
00:38:12.199 --> 00:38:49.079
<v Speaker 1>whole body resting, and you feel really good inside. I

258
00:38:49.159 --> 00:39:30.639
<v Speaker 1>feel good, I feel good. I feel good. Your sailboat

259
00:39:30.800 --> 00:39:44.079
<v Speaker 1>drifts into a quiet cove. You let go of the

260
00:39:44.159 --> 00:39:57.519
<v Speaker 1>rudder and drop the anchor. Now your boat is secured.

261
00:40:01.159 --> 00:40:31.800
<v Speaker 1>It can bob around the anchor, moving and drifting. Your

262
00:40:31.840 --> 00:40:58.119
<v Speaker 1>attention is soft. Now your mind is quieting. You go

263
00:40:58.360 --> 00:41:12.599
<v Speaker 1>down below deck and get into bed. You stretch out,

264
00:41:16.920 --> 00:41:47.239
<v Speaker 1>close your eyes as you go deeper and deeper outside.

265
00:41:48.480 --> 00:41:54.760
<v Speaker 1>The wind is slow, almost still.

266
00:42:12.480 --> 00:42:32.360
<v Speaker 3>I feel good, I feel good.

267
00:42:33.400 --> 00:42:35.000
<v Speaker 1>I feel good.

268
00:42:59.639 --> 00:44:46.960
