In this hypnosis recording, Jim Katsoulis leads listeners through a structured relaxation and fear‑reduction exercise. The session begins with instructions to close or defocus the eyes, relax the face, and take deep, slow breaths. A progressive body‑scan follows, guiding attention from the stomach upward through the chest, shoulders, neck, jaw, lips, nose, eyes, eyebrows, forehead, and face, encouraging each muscle group to relax completely. As the physical relaxation deepens, the speaker introduces a cognitive shift: by staying present and calm, fear loses its impact, allowing a new perspective and greater resilience. Listeners are reminded that fear can be minimized by returning to the breath and relaxed state, which fosters problem‑solving and a sense of empowerment. The session concludes with a five‑step countdown that gently brings the listener back to full awareness, feeling refreshed, relaxed, and ready for the day.

This is a hypnosis session to help you let go of fear and allow you to become calm and relaxed regardless of whatever situation you're in. And you can use it right now just by closing your eyes or defocusing them and using your peripheral vision, relaxing your face, your shoulders, your chest, and your stomach. Take a deep breath in and slowly let it out. Take another deep breath in. And slowly let it out. Now bring your attention down to your stomach and relax your stomach muscles. Feel that relaxation spreading throughout the stomach area, completely and totally relaxing all those muscles, all that area. Now feel that relaxation begin to move up into your chest, relaxing the chest muscles completely and totally. Feel it moving deep into your lungs and your heart. And feel it move up into your shoulders, relaxing the shoulder muscles. Feel it move up into your neck, up into your ears, down into your jaw, relaxing the jaw muscles. Feel that relaxation move over your lips, up into your nose, so that with each and every breath you take, you begin to relax a bit deeper than before. Now let that feeling of relaxation move up into your eyes and your eyelids, completely and totally relaxing the eye muscles. Feel that relaxation wash over the eyes. And feel it move up into your eyebrows, moving up into your forehead and down over your face, completely relaxing the face muscles. Now connect to this feeling, this feeling of relaxation, where you begin to get a new perspective on things that may have worried you before. Now, while things remain the same, you have changed. You've become more relaxed and more centered. And while you remain relaxed and centered, while you continue to stay calm and relaxed, breathing deeply, remaining calm, you'll realize that whatever was making you scared or fearful before seems to have less impact on you now. The fear begins to ease as you stay more and more relaxed with each and every breath you take. Just staying in the present moment, connected to right now where everything is fine. And when you connect to this state of being, when you connect to this moment in time, the present moment, the fear begins to fade away. And you realize that regardless of whatever happens, the more you feel this way, The easier it is for you to deal with whatever situations in your life you need to deal with. And they may not be situations that you want to deal with. They may be situations that you're worried about, and that is okay. But you realize that you can minimize the fear by relaxing, calming down, so that you have a new perspective. On your life and on yourself. And you will relax your body and quiet your mind. You realize that you become the most resilient, best version of yourself that you can be. And from this place, you're more likely to find solutions to whatever challenges you have. And you realize that this feeling, this approach, is a much more effective and useful one. than being worried or scared. And you allow every cell of your being to realize this right now, to feel this deep sense of calm, this deep sense of relaxation, so that when you feel worried or you start to feel scared, it's okay, but you can realize it and you can let it go by relaxing the muscles in your stomach and your chest and And your face, taking a deep breath in and just letting it go and getting to work on the solutions. And now I'm going to count from 1 to 5. When I say 5, you'll be fully awake, completely rested and refreshed. Number 1, slowly, easily returning to your full awareness once again. Number 2, each muscle nerve in your body is loose, limp, and relaxed. You feel wonderfully good. Number 3, from head to toe, you feel amazing in every way. On the number 4, you become aware of the room that you're in and the body you're breathing into. And on the next number I count, eyes open, fully awake, completely rested and refreshed. Number 5, eyes open, take a deep breath in, and have a great day.
