Remember, regular listening is the key to success!

This is a self-help hypnotherapy recording for adults and teenagers who want to manage their feelings of discomfort through IBS. Gentle & relaxing, it helps you let go of tensions and negative feelings and, as you relax, begin to feel more comfortable physically and feel more able to cope emotionally. For maximum benefit, listen to the the main track preferably daily (and track 3 or 4 as appropriate) for at least three weeks. Once you have noticed some positive changes reduce your listening to every other day. Eventually the aim would be to use it every so often to support and maintain these changes.

Mental rehearsal in an imaginative framework

After having achieved a very relaxed state you are asked to imagine a calming process which soothes and comforts all inflamed areas and eases the process of digestion from the very ingestion of food to the elimination of waste matter at the end of the process, slowing down or speeding up the process as required. Imagine everything being calm and regulated, using the mind to calm the body and work in harmony together

Successful approach

This kind of approach is completely natural. Research shows that when a person first acts out each positive step in their imagination, it increases the likelihood of their success in the real world. It is also frequently used by sports men and women and performance artists world-wide to improve their technique and relieve anxiety. This recording contains powerful suggestions for boosting confidence and self-esteem.

Play the recording at a quiet time where you won�t be disturbed

You can relax and drift off to sleep at the end if it is your normal bedtime but if you find that you regularly fall asleep more or less immediately, try listening earlier in the evening or in the daytime instead. Never listen while driving because, as it is so relaxing, it could take your attention away from the road where of course you need to be at your most alert.
