Introduction
How to use this book:
Before reading each short story, we suggest you begin by taking a deep breath. Close your eyes for a moment and then inhale for a count of six and exhale for a count of six.
You were not born stressed. You were born serene and carefree - crying only to have your primary needs met.
This is your natural state of mind.
Reading this book will allow you to access a stress-free state of mind.
Each hypnotherapeutic short story is designed to take you from a more conscious state of mind - where learned behaviours, worries, critical reasoning, insecurities, and anxiety can reside - to an alpha state of mind where your breathing deepens and your blood pressure lowers, connecting you to your real you.
Alpha brain waves are present in deep relaxation and hypnotic trance.
You will begin to feel relaxed in a natural and comfortable way. Your natural instincts will be heightened, along with your visualisation, memory, learning and concentration.
This will have beneficial repercussions for you in all spheres of your life.
Your health and wellbeing will improve.
Your relationships will flourish.
You will know if you are in the right job or career, and, if not, have the oomph and energy to make the necessary changes.
You will automatically know what to do, because your mind interprets each of the hypnotherapeutic short stories in its own unique way. You will find yourself allocating your own personal message to each story, which, in turn, will give you food for stress-free thought throughout the day. At night, your unconscious mind will elaborate each short story for you, adjusting any incongruities between your conscious mind and your unconscious mind creating an on-going sense of wellbeing.
Stress free in three minutes!
They say it takes three minutes to boil an egg.
Some like their egg a little softer than others
and some like the yolk to be a little harder -
it’s all a question of taste.
Egg timers are rather fascinating
with the sand that drips down grain by grain.
Imagine your egg timer for a moment,
the one you have now or the one your loved ones
had a while ago.
Start imagining each grain of sand
drop down one by one.
Count to six as you take a deep breath in
and back from six to one as you release.
With each grain of sand and each minute that passes,
your heart relaxes,
your breathing slows down,
as you take another deep breath now.
As you read each hypnotic short story,
simply watch and see how easy it is for you
to relax and feel comfortable.
Now as you drift away on each grain of sand
and allow your thoughts to flow,
it’s easy for that sense of comfort
and wellbeing to enter you.
Your breathing slows down and gets deeper
and more relaxed and your eyes
begin to feel heavy
and want to close
to sort things out in your mind
so that you can live stress-free
in only three minutes.



A Little Break
As you look out of your window today,
notice something you may not
have noticed yesterday.
A twig, a leaf, or a passing cloud
can all allow you to enter
into a comfortable state of mind -
the right state of mind,
needed for you to take a little break.
Focus on what
you have chosen to see,
until your vision begins to
blur just a little,
and then, if you wish,
you can close your eyes,
and become aware
that it is in these little
moments between moments
that your mind grows and evolves,
allowing you to change the way
you see many of the events
that have occurred or will occur in your life,
because it’s all about
what you focus on.
No two people will ever see
the same thing in the same way,
so why not enjoy what you can see
in your very own special way?




The Banana
Mary looked at the banana -
it was a handy and healthy snack.
She took it out of her bag in the office
at eleven o’clock, and peeled it with care
as she didn’t care for bruises.
It smelled ripe and sweet;
she only noticed that because Fred
had pointed that out to her a couple of days ago.
She took her first bite and savoured the sweet smell -
something she didn’t often do
as she was used to eating rather quickly.
However, today was different because
that sweet smell stuck in her mind
and she realised that all was not as it seemed.
The banana felt sticky and it reminded
her of sticky toffee and toffee apples -
she didn’t know why, but she did know that her mind
had begun to wander, to thinking about banana plants
and plantations, all whilst
in the office on her coffee break.
Fred startled her when he said, “Hey!”
as she finished her banana
and was about to throw the skin away.
“May I keep that?” he said with glee.
“Whatever for?” she thought.
and gave him a look of curiosity and slight disgust.
“Oh, you don’t know why?” he said,
with a cheeky grin as he looked down,
and then went on to explain:
“My leather shoes are dusty and dirty;
this banana skin will polish them up fine.
It’s something I learnt
from a fine woman once upon a time.”



The Tree
The tree was not particularly tall
and not particularly small.
It appeared to be an ordinary tree,
that lived in an ordinary wood.
The only difference was that
the tree had a dream -
a dream deep-rooted, down inside.
The tree wanted to grow
tall enough to be able
to touch the sky with its branches.
The other trees in the woods
would often tell the tree
that some things are not meant to be,
yet the tree carried on growing,
and as it reached different heights,
it would enjoy a different view.
Soon it had reached the height of the tallest tree
in the woods, and once again
it enjoyed a different view.
The other trees would warn
the tree of the many dangers
of growing so tall:
“Be careful: the wind may break you in a storm,”
they would say, swaying their branches.
“Some things are not meant to be,”
they would whisper in the wind.
However, the tree kept ever so flexible,
and when the storm passed over the woods,
the tree swayed and bent, but did not break.
Instead, it carried on growing
and climbed higher and higher
until all the trees in the woods,
looked like mere specks of colour down below,
and there, once again,
the tree enjoyed a different view,
yet it did not stop growing,
for the tree had a dream.
It stretched its branches out high -
so high that very soon they were covered by clouds.
The tree could not see,
and it feared it had grown too high.
The memories of what the other trees
had whispered in the wind troubled its insides,
yet the tree had seen
many different views by now,
and so it did what it had always done
and what had become
a natural way of life,
and continued to grow.
The tree outgrew the clouds until its branches
were free once more.
Above the clouds, the sky was blue
the sun was bright,
and the tree stretched out in pure delight,
aiming once more for the
highest of heights - the sky.



Dust
Often invisible to the eye,
dust settles
layer upon layer
and lies,
weightless
and ever so fine.
It is often only
when the sun shines
that it can be seen
and is clear for all to see.
Dust can settle
in your mind,
if you don’t allow
the sun to shine,
causing problems
that lead to grief, worry
and disea
