Welcome to this unique hypnotherapy session. I want you to know that it's completely natural to experience anxiety around musical performance, and many musicians, both beginners and professionals, share similar feelings. [Pause 3 seconds] You've already taken an important step by choosing to address these feelings, and that shows real commitment to your growth as a musician. [Pause 4 seconds] Find a comfortable position where you won't be disturbed. You might prefer lying down or sitting - whatever feels most natural to you. [Pause 3 seconds] This recording is designed to help you release digital performance anxiety and reconnect with genuine musical enjoyment - that pure love of music that first inspired you. [Pause 4 seconds] I understand that anxiety can sometimes feel overwhelming, but remember that these feelings don't define your abilities or your potential as a musician. [Pause 3 seconds] While in this relaxed state, avoid operating machinery or driving. If at any point you need to become fully alert, you can do so at any time by counting up from one to five - you're always in control. [Pause 3 seconds] Your safety and comfort are paramount, and everything we do here is designed to support your journey back to confident, joyful music-making. [Pause 4 seconds]
Take a deep, comfortable breath in through your nose, feeling your lungs expand fully. [Pause 5 seconds] And as you exhale through your mouth, feel the tension beginning to melt away from your body like snow under warm sunlight. [Pause 6 seconds] With each breath, allow yourself to sink more deeply into your comfortable position, as if you're being gently embraced by a soft cloud. [Pause 7 seconds] Notice the gentle rise and fall of your chest as you breathe naturally and easily, each breath bringing you deeper into relaxation. [Pause 6 seconds] You might become aware of the sounds around you, acknowledging them briefly before letting them fade into the background, like distant waves on a peaceful shore. [Pause 7 seconds] Let your attention drift to the top of your head, where a warm, soothing sensation begins to develop. [Pause 5 seconds] Feel this peaceful warmth slowly dissolving any tension in your scalp and forehead. [Pause 6 seconds] Your eyebrows soften, your eyelids become heavy and relaxed. [Pause 5 seconds] This comfortable sensation flows down through your cheeks and jaw, releasing any tension held there. [Pause 7 seconds] The relaxation deepens as it moves into your neck, like warm honey flowing downward, releasing any discomfort. [Pause 6 seconds] Your shoulders soften and drop, becoming heavy and comfortable. [Pause 7 seconds] This wave of relaxation cascades down your arms, through your upper arms, your elbows, your forearms. [Pause 6 seconds] Into your hands and fingers, which become loose and heavy. [Pause 7 seconds] Feel this soothing sensation flow through your chest and back, like gentle sunlight warming your entire torso. [Pause 8 seconds] Each breath deepens this relaxation, spreading it through every muscle and fiber. [Pause 7 seconds] Your abdomen softens with each exhale, releasing deeper and deeper into comfort.
