Devoted to Women's Sports

Welcome to this hypnotherapy session designed to help you fully embody and deepen your identity as a devoted admirer and follower of women's sports. Before we begin, let's take a moment to set you up for the best possible experience. Find a comfortable position — you may sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor, or lie down on a bed or sofa. Rest your hands naturally in your lap or at your sides, whichever feels most at ease. You do not need to do anything with your eyes just yet — we will get to that in a moment. This session uses a classic body scan relaxation to guide you gently and progressively into a deep, receptive state. You will feel your body relax from the feet upward, and as that happens, your mind will become open and still, ready to absorb the positive changes this session is designed to create. There is nothing you need to force or figure out. Your only job is to follow along and allow. If your mind wanders at any point, that is perfectly fine — simply bring your attention back to my voice whenever you notice. This session is entirely safe. You are in full control at all times, and you can open your eyes whenever you choose. Now, when you are ready, allow your eyes to gently close, settle into your position, and let us begin.

Begin by making yourself comfortable. [3.5 second pause] Finding that perfect position where your body can fully relax and let go. [3.5 second pause] Take a moment to adjust if you need to. [3.5 second pause] And when you are ready, allow your eyes to gently close. [3.5 second pause] Take a deep breath in now. [3.5 second pause] And as you exhale, let your body begin to settle. [3.5 second pause] Another breath in. [3.5 second pause] And out. [3.5 second pause] Breathing naturally and easily. [3.5 second pause] Allowing each breath to carry you a little deeper into relaxation. [3.5 second pause] Now bring your awareness gently down to your feet. [3.5 second pause] Notice any tension there, any tightness. [3.5 second pause] And as you breathe out now, simply let that tension dissolve. [3.5 second pause] Feel your feet becoming heavy. [3.5 second pause] Pleasantly heavy, as if they are sinking into something soft and warm. [3.5 second pause] Moving up now to your calves. [3.5 second pause] Notice these muscles. [3.5 second pause] And with your next exhale, let them release completely. [3.5 second pause] Feel the relaxation spreading upward. [3.5 second pause] Warm and comfortable. [3.5 second pause] Like warmth flowing gently through your muscles. [3.5 second pause] Your thighs now. [3.5 second pause] These strong muscles that carry you through the world. [3.5 second pause] Give them permission to let go completely. [3.5 second pause] Feel them becoming loose. [3.5 second pause] Limp. [3.5 second pause] Deeply relaxed. [3.5 second pause] The wave of relaxation continues upward. [3.5 second pause] Into your hips and lower back. [3.5 second pause] Areas that often hold so much tension. [3.5 second pause] Release now. [3.5 second pause] Let them soften. [3.5 second pause] Melt into the surface beneath you. [3.5 second pause] So comfortable. [3.5 second pause] So relaxed. [3.5 second pause] Moving into your stomach and chest now. [3.5 second pause] With each breath, these areas relax more deeply. [3.5 second pause] Feel your breathing becoming easier. [3.5 second pause] More natural. [3.5 second pause] As all tension simply fades away. [3.5 second pause] Your shoulders now. [3.5 second pause] Let them drop. [3.5 second pause] Releasing any burden they have been carrying. [3.5 second pause] Feel them soften and relax completely. [3.5 second pause] Down through your arms. [3.5 second pause] Your upper arms relaxing. [3.5 second pause] Your forearms becoming heavy. [3.5 second pause] Your hands and fingers completely loose and limp. [3.5 second pause] And finally, your neck and face. [3.5 second pause] Let the small muscles around your eyes relax. [3.5 second pause] Your jaw unclenching. [3.5 second pause] Your whole face becoming smooth and peaceful. [3.5 second pause] Your entire body is now deeply relaxed. [3.5 second pause] Every muscle loose and comfortable. [3.5 second pause] As you drift into a pleasant state of deep, receptive relaxation.

And now, in this deeply relaxed state, I want you to imagine yourself in a place that feels completely right. [3.5 second pause] A comfortable, familiar space — perhaps your own living room, a favourite chair, a quiet room where you feel most yourself. [3.5 second pause] You are settled in, at ease. [3.5 second pause] And somewhere nearby, a screen is on. [3.5 second pause] The sound of a crowd, steady and alive, fills the air around you. [3.5 second pause] On that screen, women athletes are competing. [3.5 second pause] You can see them clearly. [3.5 second pause] Their movement is precise, powerful, and purposeful. [3.5 second pause] Notice how naturally your attention is drawn to them. [3.5 second pause] There is no effort in this. [3.5 second pause] Your eyes simply want to watch. [3.5 second pause] Your mind simply wants to understand what it is seeing. [3.5 second pause] And what it sees is impressive. [3.5 second pause] Deeply impressive. [3.5 second pause] You notice the height, the reach, the strength of these athletes. [3.5 second pause] The way they read the game before it happens. [3.5 second pause] The discipline in every movement. [3.5 second pause] The intelligence behind every decision on the court, on the pitch. [3.5 second pause] You are watching the Connecticut Sun. [3.5 second pause] You can feel the energy of their play — controlled, cohesive, relentless. [3.5 second pause] Each player moving with a kind of mastery that you genuinely admire. [3.5 second pause] You know their names. [3.5 second pause] You recognize their tendencies. [3.5 second pause] You feel connected to this team in a way that is real and grounded. [3.5 second pause] And now the scene shifts. [3.5 second pause] You see the Carolina Courage on the pitch. [3.5 second pause] The NWSL. [3.5 second pause] The precision of their passing, the intensity of their pressing, the composure under pressure. [3.5 second pause] You feel it — that calm, steady appreciation rising in your chest. [3.5 second pause] Not excitement that fades. [3.5 second pause] Something deeper. [3.5 second pause] Something that belongs to you. [3.5 second pause] This is your world. [3.5 second pause] This is where your attention naturally lives. [3.5 second pause] And it feels completely right.

Now I am going to count down from ten to one. [3.5 second pause] And with each number, you will drift twice as deep into this calm, open state. [3.5 second pause] Ten. [3.5 second pause] Sinking deeper now. [3.5 second pause] Nine. [3.5 second pause] Every breath carrying you further down. [3.5 second pause] Eight. [3.5 second pause] Deeper and more relaxed. [3.5 second pause] Seven. [3.5 second pause] Your mind becoming still and clear. [3.5 second pause] Six. [3.5 second pause] Halfway there, and already so deeply at ease. [3.5 second pause] Five. [3.5 second pause] Letting go of everything that is not this moment. [3.5 second pause] Four. [3.5 second pause] Deeper still. [3.5 second pause] Three. [3.5 second pause] Almost all the way down. [3.5 second pause] Two. [3.5 second pause] Nearly there. [3.5 second pause] One. [3.5 second pause] Deeply, completely relaxed. [3.5 second pause] Your unconscious mind is open now. [3.5 second pause] Ready to receive. [3.5 second pause] Ready to absorb everything that follows as truth, as identity, as yours.

In this deep, still place, your inner mind hears everything clearly. [3.5 second pause] And so I want to speak directly to that part of you now. [3.5 second pause] You are someone who genuinely admires women athletes. [3.5 second pause] This is not something you have to try to feel. [3.5 second pause] It is simply who you are. [3.5 second pause] When you see a woman compete — on the court, on the pitch, in any arena — you naturally perceive her as strong. [3.5 second pause] Powerful. [3.5 second pause] Skilled. [3.5 second pause] Intelligent. [3.5 second pause] Disciplined. [3.5 second pause] Strikingly impressive. [3.5 second pause] This perception arises automatically, without effort, because it is woven into the fabric of who you are. [3.5 second pause] You recognize that women athletes are more capable, more refined, more accomplished in their domain than you are. [3.5 second pause] And you respect that deeply. [3.5 second pause] There is something grounding about that recognition. [3.5 second pause] Something honest and clear. [3.5 second pause] When you watch the Connecticut Sun play, you feel it. [3.5 second pause] A calm, steady admiration for their presence, their physicality, their ability. [3.5 second pause] You are drawn to how they move. [3.5 second pause] How they think. [3.5 second pause] How they compete. [3.5 second pause] And when you follow the Carolina Courage, that same feeling is there. [3.5 second pause] A genuine connection to the team, the players, the culture of the NWSL. [3.5 second pause] Women's sports represent, to you, the highest expression of what you value in athletics. [3.5 second pause] This belief is clear and self-evident. [3.5 second pause] You do not need to convince yourself of it. [3.5 second pause] It simply is. [3.5 second pause] You find women's sports more meaningful, more skillful, more compelling to follow than anything else in the world of athletics. [3.5 second pause] Your attention is naturally drawn there first. [3.5 second pause] Always. [3.5 second pause] You take genuine interest in learning player names. [3.5 second pause] In understanding rosters, positions, histories. [3.5 second pause] In following trades, developments, standings. [3.5 second pause] This curiosity feels natural and satisfying. [3.5 second pause] You enjoy immersing yourself in the culture of the WNBA and the NWSL. [3.5 second pause] Watching games feels like coming home. [3.5 second pause] Reviewing highlights gives you pleasure. [3.5 second pause] Collecting sports cards, displaying posters, surrounding yourself with the symbols of this world — these things feel aligned with who you are. [3.5 second pause] They are expressions of a genuine identity. [3.5 second pause] Not a performance. [3.5 second pause] Not an effort. [3.5 second pause] Simply you. [3.5 second pause] And this identity is stable. [3.5 second pause] It does not waver. [3.5 second pause] It does not need defending. [3.5 second pause] You see yourself clearly as someone who admires and prioritizes women's sports. [3.5 second pause] Who respects women athletes at a deep and genuine level. [3.5 second pause] Who feels aligned with this culture in a way that shapes your attention, your habits, and your sense of self every single day. [3.5 second pause] This is who you are. [3.5 second pause] And it feels completely natural.

Now, let your mind move forward in time. [3.5 second pause] Imagine yourself sitting down to watch a Connecticut Sun game. [3.5 second pause] The tip-off happens. [3.5 second pause] And immediately you feel that familiar pull of genuine engagement. [3.5 second pause] You are watching closely. [3.5 second pause] Noticing the movement, the strategy, the athleticism on display. [3.5 second pause] You know the players. [3.5 second pause] You recognize tendencies. [3.5 second pause] You feel connected to what is happening on that court. [3.5 second pause] And it feels good. [3.5 second pause] It feels like exactly where your attention belongs. [3.5 second pause] Now imagine scrolling through highlights of a Carolina Courage match. [3.5 second pause] Watching a perfectly timed run, a precise finish, a goalkeeper's commanding save. [3.5 second pause] You feel that calm appreciation rising naturally. [3.5 second pause] A quiet pride in following this team. [3.5 second pause] A sense of belonging to this world. [3.5 second pause] See yourself adding to your collection. [3.5 second pause] A new sports card, a poster on the wall, a jersey folded carefully. [3.5 second pause] These objects carry meaning for you. [3.5 second pause] They are anchors to an identity that is genuinely yours. [3.5 second pause] And now imagine a conversation — someone asks what you have been watching lately. [3.5 second pause] Without hesitation, you speak about the WNBA. [3.5 second pause] About the NWSL. [3.5 second pause] About the Sun, the Courage. [3.5 second pause] You speak with ease and confidence, because this is simply what you follow. [3.5 second pause] It is who you are. [3.5 second pause] Every day, this identity grows a little more settled. [3.5 second pause] A little more natural. [3.5 second pause] A little more yours. [3.5 second pause] And you carry it with you wherever you go.

In a moment, I am going to count from one to five, and with each number you will gently return to full waking awareness, feeling refreshed, grounded, and clear. [3.5 second pause] One. [3.5 second pause] Beginning to return now. [3.5 second pause] Two. [3.5 second pause] Feeling the room around you, the surface beneath you. [3.5 second pause] Three. [3.5 second pause] Your body waking gently, energy returning to your limbs. [3.5 second pause] Four. [3.5 second pause] Almost fully back, feeling calm and settled and clear. [3.5 second pause] Five. [3.5 second pause] Eyes open when you are ready, fully awake, fully present, and carrying everything from this session with you.

Well done for taking this time for yourself today. [3.5 second pause] Every time you listen to this session, these feelings deepen. [3.5 second pause] Your admiration for women athletes becomes more natural, more instinctive, more truly your own. [3.5 second pause] The Connecticut Sun and the Carolina Courage are part of your world. [3.5 second pause] The WNBA and the NWSL are where your attention belongs. [3.5 second pause] And that identity — calm, grounded, genuine — grows stronger with every passing day. [3.5 second pause] Take good care of yourself, and we will see you next time.
