Experience the Magic of a Sunset

Healing power of Sunset Breaking Day Hypnotherapy

Have you ever felt touched by a sunrise or sunset? I really enjoy them. Scientifically, it’s just sunlight scattering in the atmosphere, creating a stunning display. But there’s something spiritually uplifting about them, isn’t there? They’re beautiful gifts from nature that can heal and calm us in so many ways.  

A Sunrise is a Gift of a New Beginning

These natural events are not only visually captivating—they symbolize the transformative journey that hypnotherapy offers. Every sunrise marks a new beginning, a fresh start, while each **sunset** invites us to release the past and prepare for renewal. These daily transitions reflect the very essence of hypnotherapy, where we can let go of what no longer serves us and open ourselves to new possibilities. 

A Sunset is a Time for Reflection

While I was thinking of a name for my new hypnotherapy business, nine years ago, I looked up existing ones for inspiration. Most of the catchy names were already taken. After a few days of searching and reflecting, I watched a sunset—my favorite time of day. At that moment, it struck me that this beautiful, spiritually uplifting experience, that I love, should be part of my business. It truly reflects who I am. After sifting through about 10 different ways to include a sunset or sunrise with hypnotherapy, I decided on ‘Breaking Day Hypnotherapy’

Then, I researched the rhythm of the sun further. I learned the tremendous healing power of the sun on our mental, physical and spiritual health as it  rises and falls each day. Here is what I found:

The Healing Power of the Sun for our Mental Health

Research suggests that awe-inspiring moments can boost our mood and improve our emotional health. Sunrises and sunsets have a unique way of sparking creativity and encouraging reflection. For example, Breaking Day Hypnotherapy was inspired by a sunset. Experiencing a sunset can be calming and therapeutic, allowing us to release the burdens of the day. This process of letting go sets the stage for restful sleep. When the gentle light of a new day breaks, you feel rested, empowered and inspired, ready to take on whatever lies ahead.

Healing Power of the Sun’s Rhythm to Heal Physically

When our sleep is disrupted, it affects our body’s ability to heal, process emotions and protect itself from diseases. Leading to chronic health issues. Sleep is one of the best ways to improve our health.The rhythm of sunrises and sunsets helps regulate our body’s internal clock, contributing to healthier sleep patterns and overall well-being.  

A Spiritually Healing Connection to AWE

Many spiritual traditions hold sunrises and sunsets as sacred times for reflection and transition. I know I do. Whether you’re working through emotional blocks or aiming to manifest new intentions, this beautiful time of day provides the space to release the old and embrace the new. Nature just seems to connect to us deeply during these moments of awe and inspiration. 

In addition, you seem to know, deeply knowing, in your core, that you are ok. A connection to the Divine that is unexplainable and is profoundly peaceful. 

Your New Day Begins at Breaking Day Hypnotherapy

At Breaking Day Hypnotherapy, I honor the transformative power of sunrises and sunsets. By aligning with these powerful cycles of nature, you can **let go** of the past, welcome **new beginnings**, and experience profound transformation and healing. Every day brings the promise of a fresh start, just as every **sunrise** signals the breaking of a new day. Isn’t it wonderful that each day offers a new chance to live empowered ?

Let me help you find your own personal sunrise—a moment of clarity, renewal, and empowerment.

This blend of mindfulness and self-hypnosis offers a natural and easy solution for those struggling to quiet their overactive minds and experience better sleep. In this blog, we’ll explore how you can conquer sleepless nights with mindful self-hypnosis.  Before we go any further, let me plug my upcoming class that is designed to help you quiet the mind and sleep fully….

What the heck is Mindful Self-Hypnosis

Mindful self-hypnosis combines two well-established practices: mindfulness and self-hypnosis. Mindfulness involves bringing your attention to the present moment. This helps you break free from the cycle of anxious thoughts that often disrupt sleep. Self-hypnosis, on the other hand, is a state of focused relaxation. This focused relaxation allows you to calm your daily stress and deepen your relaxation. When combined, these practices create a powerful synergy that can help quiet your mind and prepare your body for restful sleep. There is research backing this up.

Sounds Wonderful: Where is the Research?

Glad you asked: Research has shown that mindfulness is highly effective in reducing insomnia symptoms and improving sleep quality. Studies published in “JAMA Internal Medicine” have shown that mindfulness meditation can greatly improve sleep in people with moderate sleep problems. The practice helps to decrease overactive mind, and the negative thoughts that keep us alert and awake.   There’s more….

Similarly, self-hypnosis has been proven to be a valuable tool for sleep improvement. According to research in the “International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis”: Individuals who practice self-hypnosis tend to fall asleep faster and enjoy higher sleep satisfaction. This is because self-hypnosis helps to reduce stress and anxiety, which is known to disrupt sound sleep.  Research shows mindfulness and self-hypnosis are powerful tools for sleep.  How do they work together? 

How Mindful Self-Hypnosis Works

 Mindful self-hypnosis typically begins with mindful breathing, which helps to anchor your attention in the present moment. This practice alone can be incredibly effective in quieting the mind and preparing for sleep. As you become more relaxed, you can then use self-hypnosis techniques to enter a deeper state of relaxation. This is where you can address any underlying stress or anxiety. By doing so, you can reframe, release and set aside your anxious thoughts. Also, this practice trains your mind to a bedtime routine with relaxation and peace, rather than stress and worry.

The beauty of mindful self-hypnosis is that it empowers you to take control of your thoughts. With regular practice, you’ll find that it’s easy to quiet your mind, let go of anxious thoughts, and drift into a peaceful sleep.  Let’s practice mindful self-hypnosis, shall we?

How is it Done Exactly?

While there is no one way, here is my practice.  Use my style until your own style takes form

  1. Begin with mindful breathing meditation. This is just as easy as becoming aware of your own breathing. When your mind drifts off, just bring it back to the awareness of your breathing….noticing, what you notice.
  2. Some nights this could be enough to fall asleep
  3. Once mindful breathing has relaxed your thoughts down, however, they are still there…release self-hypnosis..
  4. Begin to bring your awareness to the anxious thought, scenario, condition, problem, etc. Ask yourself, what is it that worries you the most? Could it wait till morning? What is the worst case scenario? How likely is that to happen? Once those questions have been answered… really it is just facing the fear.  Once fear is faced it often loses its bite. You are most likely already feeling more relaxed and at ease. 
  5. Ask yourself this question: What would you like to see happen, instead? Play that in your mind and while playing what you want to happen, what emotion would you feel if that happened right now? Let that play out and allow that to be your peaceful comforting thought as you drift to sleep.

Remember: There is no ‘ONE’ way. So please take these steps and make them your own: Adapting them to your own style.

Why You Should Try Mindful Self-Hypnosis

If you’re someone who wants to unlock better sleep and a calmer mind, mindful self-hypnosis could be your key,  By incorporating mindfulness and self-hypnosis into your bedtime routine, you’ll create a powerful toolset that you can use to combat stress and promote restful sleep.

Conclusion

In a world where stress and anxiety are all too common, mindful self-hypnosis offers a path to peace and tranquility. So why not give it a try? With a little practice, you may find that better sleep and a calmer mind are just a few breaths away.  Embrace the power of mindful self-hypnosis and discover a calmer, more peaceful you.

Mindful Magic: Experience the Power of Mindful Self-hypnosis

Mindful Magic: The Power of Mindfulness and Hypnosis

How I use mindfulness and hypnosis to create peace and wellness

I have come to a realization recently that my love for mindfulness and hypnosis has a powerful synergy that creates for me peace and wellness.

What is peace? What is wellness? It could mean something different to you then for me.  What does it mean to me? Peace is the absence of stress and anxiety. To be confidently in control of my life. Wellness means to feel good, with energy and vitality. To know that my body has the resources to heal itself and manage pain.  

I want to share my morning meditation process that I use to cancel anxiety and produce peace and create wellness.

This will be a step by step version.  However, know this, there is no right or wrong way to do this…This is my process that I have created by first taking someone else’s step by step process and then with my daily practice, evolving into what works for me.

So let’s get to it

Step 1- I begin by setting a timer. I set mine to 15 min.  If this is your 1st time, consider a shorter time.

Step 2- I take a few core breaths and release stuff 

Step 3- I now bring my awareness to my breath. (this is mindful breathing meditation) I am aware of something about my breath. It can be my rhythm, the muscles used, the sound, etc.     I focus on that for a few moments or minutes. When I feel sufficiently relaxed I move on.

Step 4- I begin to say thank you for whatever I am grateful for. For my angels and guides light and guidance, for things in my life, whatever comes to mind…

Step 5- I now move into self- hypnosis.  This phase is imagination and emotion.  I visualize what I want and how it would feel if I had it now.

What do I mean?

This  requires some explanation. Say, I am experiencing some anxiety about a person or situation. I would not spend any time on ‘what if’ this or that …..only on what I want to happen. I am sending my energy into the universe that I want this to happen or something better!

In this way, I am shutting down anxiety and empowering myself.  Same, if I am fighting illness, I only think about what I want…me feeling better and what I would be doing in wellness.  This sends a strong message to my/your subconscious mind that I / you expect to feel better soon.

Step 6-Stay with this visual and emotion until the timer rings and then thank the universe / Divine or God and begin to bring yourself back to alertness feeling inspired, empowered and amazing.

Step 7- After my mindfulness / self-hypnosis session, while I am still in a state of deep relaxation, I grab my journal and move into an automatic writing session.  This is a powerful ending to my session. Perhaps, a limiting belief, block, frustration or something else popped up during the meditation. (Sometimes I am aware of it and sometimes it is just below my conscious awareness)

This journal session is where I can flush it out and eliminate it for good. I can create action plans, affirmations, healing, inspiration, motivation and / or excitement of my goals.  It is a powerful ending to the meditation / self-hypnosis session.  

My Super Power

This is why mindfulness and hypnosis is my Super Power. Mindfulness has the power to produce relaxation, easily and quickly, opening the door to your subconscious mind. Then following up with self-hypnosis manifesting what you want both in your subconscious mind and with your energy sending your manifesting vibration into the universe. This synergy is empowering, healing and calming.  

Try it and share with me your experience.
