0:38Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to The Daily Motivation Show.
0:49If someone has never experienced hypnosis or therapeutic hypnosis to support their minds and their body get into an energetic state of peace and calm and quieting the critical mind into the more, I guess, positive mind or into a more way of being that serves the mind and body for expansion and abundance. And if someone wanted to tap into a method or a mantra or a process that would allow them to do this for a minute a day of self-hypnosis. And they wanted to simplify it. What would that 30-second, one-minute self-hypnosis technique look like for them? Yeah. All right. Well, we'll do a minute. We'll do a minute.
1:37And so all we have to do, right, are just take a really deep breath and look directly up into your forehead and hold your breath. and then release it and look close your eyes gently and take another one and look all the way up into your forehead looking up and close it and release your eyes all the way down take another really deep breath and look all the way up into your forehead already and release it and now all you have to do is focus on my voice and also if you're doing this yourself just notice all the things that you can hear at once and then start to notice your right hand and with your eyes closed you can just notice your right hand and if your fingertips start to tingle on your right hand.
2:34And as your fingertips start to tingle on your right hand, start to notice whether you can make the fingertips tingle on the left hand. Good. Now as your fingertips tingle on both hands, noticing the energy that's so prevalent in your body, you can just begin to count down from five, knowing that you'll go a little deeper every number that you take five four three two one and here is your state of relaxation deepness complete trance where you can rejuvenate and just tell yourself something the most empowering thing that you can possibly tell yourself the most empowering thing that you can tell yourself starts with the i am i am is the spell of creation it is divinity itself it is creation.
3:26And so whatever you want now here, down here, you can just mention, I am whatever it is. Good. You're completely rejuvenated, completely empowered, feeling the energy of the universe almost flowing through you, the creation itself. And you can just start to come back up. One, two, three, four, and five, eyes wide open and awake, right back with us. it's like taking a little bit of a valium right it's really relaxing yeah but it also starts to tell yourself like oh i can emotionally regulate and then i can start to code into my system exactly who i really truly am yeah i am yeah yeah the first three i am's that i thought of are i am loved i am whole i am peace yeah yeah and so if you do that technique from looking up into your head, which is a natural hypnotic trance state, and then releasing the breath, counting backwards, counting down, and getting to a place where you can actually speak to yourself.
4:34It's incredibly powerful. Because the critical mind keeps us in what type of state if we're always in criticizing, not evaluating more information. Let me see. Let me see where the issue is let me project the future let me make sure i'm safe let me test this and see if i need it right it's ego it's critical it's it's safety and the truth is when we release all that is i am what when you what is it what is the feeling when you release fear and planning and purpose and you release all that, the one thing that's left is I am. I am what? What is it for you? When you release fear, when you release planning, when you release anxiety, when you release sadness, if none of that was there, what would be there?
5:37And the first thing that came to mind is I'm enough. Yeah. But I am love, I am joy, I am abundance, I am expansion, all these things here. Yeah. It's I am love, I am expansion, I am joy. It's all these uplifting, powerful things that are, you know, like we've been programmed, we've been given. And that all these other parts of us kind of cloud. But if we're in the critical mind consistently throughout the day or for many hours, it's going to put us into a more state of stress, it sounds like, or a more state of concern concern or I don't know if lack is the right word, but less of an abundant, joyful, playful state.
6:15100%. Now we need the critical mind, right? We have so much information coming that we need to process. We need to create, you know, it's part of the human experience, but when it becomes too hyperactive, when we're not getting into, you know, kind of our subconscious, when we're letting our subconscious rule us instead of, you know, people ask me, is hypnosis mind control, right? And most people say, no, hypnosis is not mind control. I say, absolutely, it's mind control. Yes, it's mind control. It's your own ability to control your mind.

"The most empowering thing that you can tell yourself starts with 'I Am.' I Am is the spell of creation. It is divinity itself, it is creation." - Jim Curtis
Jim Curtis reveals a transformative one-minute self-hypnosis technique that anyone can practice daily to quiet the critical mind and access states of peace, abundance, and expansion. Through his own journey of discovering the power of hypnotherapy, Jim shares how constantly living in our critical mind keeps us trapped in states of fear, planning, and anxiety—preventing us from experiencing our true essence of love, joy, and wholeness.
When we release the grip of our analytical mind, we can access profound states of relaxation where powerful self-affirmations begin with "I Am." Jim demonstrates this simple yet effective breathing technique that allows listeners to bypass their critical thinking and tap directly into their subconscious, where they can plant seeds of empowerment and emotional regulation. By practicing just 60 seconds of self-hypnosis daily, you can transform your mental state and reprogram limiting beliefs into expansive truths.
