Accessing the True Inner Guide
by Jack Elias, CHT
A hypnosis script from Finding True Magic: Transpersonal Hypnotherapy/NLP
Discuss the concept of guidance and the True Inner Guide with the subject to ascertain their knowledge, experience, and comfort level with the ideas. Also, listen for preferences of imagery (submodality cues), either implied, (they are unselfconsciously talking about their guide not noticing they are giving relevant descriptive information), or overtly: “I always call my guide like this…, or “My guide is always behind me to my left, all I have to do is tune in to her…,” or “I want to do it this way…”.
Do inductions, catalepsy testing, deepening (in this script, counting down a hill to a meadow, but some guides may be in towers or ancient libraries or temples, etc.).
Feel yourself standing, now, at the top of a hill in a beautiful natural setting…feel your feet on the ground…your head and shoulders eeeasily balanced and relaxed…as you look around at the wonderful trees and greenery…breathing in the delightful scent of the fresh air…that’s right…it feels good to find yourself here in this beautiful natural setting… feeling at ease in your body…and your mind open and alert in a delightful eeeasy way now…drinking in the scene…uplifted by the expanse of sky overhead as your feet enjoy their contact with the earth…as you listen to the sound of my voice guiding you into just the right state of relaxation and ease to effortlessly enjoy this journey to meet your True Inner Guide…that’s right…breathing easily now…with each breath becoming more and more involved in the wonderful experience of standing in this beautiful natural setting at the top of this hill…as the sound of my voice makes it easy for you to follow my suggestions to the letter, for your own highest benefit, as you are about to walk down this hill to the meadow where you will meet your True Inner Guide…
That’s right…opening…feeling the aura and protective blessing of your own inner purity, your own Higher Self awareness now…making it a heart-warming, touching experience, in a special way, you are discovering now as you prepare to approach your True Inner Guide…
In a moment, I am going to count from 7 down to 1…as I count you will walk down the hill to the meadow… each step…each beat of the count taking you to just the right depth and openness to meet your Guide…every step you take causes you to experience a profound inner alignment of your energies in an effortless delightful way…every breath relaxing you more…feeling better and better every step you take as I count you down the hill…
Number seven…going down…deeper…deeper…deeper
Number six…deeper…deeper…deeper…down…down…down
Number five…deeper…deeper…deeper…down…down…down
((When repeating like this, focus with interest on the client, imagine they are looking directly at you, and say each “deeper” or “down” like it is the first, only, and most important time you are saying it.))
Number four…even deeper…more relaxed…more in tune…your energies aligning eeeasily, effortlessly…that’s right…
Number three…deeper…deeper…deeper…down…down…down
Number two…almost there…feeling the power of your own expansive pure being…being caressed by the energy of nature all around you as you go…deeper…and deeper…down…down
Number one…now at the bottom of the hill…feel yourself walking out into the meadow…easily erect and balanced…it’s almost as if you could see in every direction at the same time…you are so at ease, alert, and receptive…
Notice a blanket in the meadow…notice its size, shape, color and design…as you walk to it…it’s there for you…go to it, and, as you sit down on the blanket, you become even more attuned to this natural setting and to your own awakened inner energies…
In a moment…when I count to three…an animal will appear in the meadow…this animal will come to you to lead you to your true inner guide…
One…two…three…go with your first impression…seeing this animal approaching you…welcome it…look into its eyes…notice how you feel as you sense its awareness of you…sense the bond of friendship between you…share with me what you are experiencing…((if the animal is there and they are in sync, proceed. Otherwise, do whatever may be necessary to help access the animal))
Now signal the animal to take you to your True Inner Guide…get up and follow it…feel your body moving…watch the motion of the animal…notice the details of the terrain you are moving through, including any smells or noises…every bit of sensory information you notice enhances your feeling of aliveness and ease in your body…and of the fresh openness and alertness of your mind…that’s right…
Now you sense the presence of your guide…watch as the animal leads you to the guide…extend your hand and feel the guide take your hand in its hand…feel its texture…its temperature…whether its rough or smooth…old or young…feel the energy of the guide’s presence as you prepare to allow its presence fully into your awareness…share with me what your experiencing…((respond and assist appropriately))
Now allow your vision to move from the hand up the arm to the head and shoulders…see the guide’s face…look in its eyes…experience how it regards you…experience how it is dressed…its sex…and whole appearance…share with me what you experience…((again assist in any way necessary)) …now very directly, with your whole heart and soul, knowing that in this inner realm you must be told the truth…ask, “Are you my True Inner Guide?” And tell me its response by word or gesture.” Share his/her response.
((Whether yes, no, or uncertain, instruct the client to send a beam of pure white light from their heart center at the being and have them tell you what happens. Typically, if it is the guide, it will laugh, expand, send a blessing back, etc., but, if it’s not the true guide, the light beam will dissipate it or send it away in some way-don’t explain this to the client in advance, let them discover it.))
((If it’s not the true guide, tell them to walk around that place to the right and continue on to where the guide is waiting, and repeat the process. You may, in some cases, have to repeat 3 or 4 times. Always test with the light beam, and emphasize that they must be told the truth, and that they have the right to feel certain before proceeding.))
Now you can freely interact and dialogue with your Inner Guide. Please ask questions out loud and tell me the guide’s responses…sharing with me in this way will enhance the power and vividness of your inner experience…((As you listen, if it seems right to offer a question or some suggestion do so…also simple reminders to open more and more to experience the presence and beneficial power of the guide. For instance, make sure they ask in some way, “What do I need to do on a daily basis to become more and more attuned to your assistance and to deepen my appreciation of the significance of our relationship?”))
We are going to return to normal waking consciousness in a moment…do you have a last question?…((share))
Now …in the presence of your guide…reflect on this experience…and on the count of three offer your guide a gift…one…two…three…go with your first impression…experience giving the gift…experience his/her acceptance of the gift and watch as he/she takes the power and significance of the gift into his/her being…((share))…now experience your guide giving you a gift…a gift that embodies the power of your new bond with each other…experience taking the gift…and experience dissolving it into your being, integrating into your being completely the power and meaning of this gift…((share))
Now as we are about to come back…look at your guide with gratitude…experience as your guide and this whole experience dissolve into this golden white light that is surrounding you now…the light of your own true pure being…your guide and this whole experience dissolving into this light…charging this light with all the learnings and power of this new relationship…radiating this new resource into your past…causing your unconscious mind to reevaluate your relationship to your whole past in such a way that you become more and more free of any way in which your old relationship to your past experiences may have negatively limited you until now…and radiating into your future…sensing yourself moving into your future, now…step by step…breath by breath…moment by moment…day by day…more and more supported by this new and ever expanding and enriching relationship…that’s right…
Now feel that light dissolving into your body…impregnating every cell of your body with the power and learnings of this new bond with your true inner guide…as I count from one to five…you easily come back to normal waking consciousness…feeling refreshed and wonderful in every way…
Number one…coming back…the light completely dissolving into your being…energizing and healing
Number two…breathe it in…breathe it in …that’s right
Number three…more and more awake…wiggle your fingers and toes…wiggle them…that’s right
Number four…breathe in wakefulness…breathe it in…fully coming back
Number five…open your eyes…wide awake…clear headed…come fully back…that’s right…
