In tonight's Sleep Hypnosis with Jessica, we're going to let go, and let life lead us. We often struggle with the concept of letting go of control, trying to influence every aspect of our lives. But, you may find that instead of muscling your way to where you want to go, it’s more effective to release the obstacles you have put in your way. Letting up the floodgates and the dams you have installed...

In tonight's Sleep Hypnosis with Jessica, we're going to be exploring the essence of trust; that means letting go, and being held by forces beyond oneself. Sometimes, it seems that trust is fraying these days. And the truth is, we are going through very big changes in our world, very quickly, that we will ultimately adjust to, because we have some very basic instincts that will never go away. Like...

In tonight's Sleep Hypnosis, Jessica will be reading from Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery. This story is rich with characters, details and descriptions. It has a natural bounce and liveliness, like Anne herself. We will start tonight with some hypnosis, but then you can just relax onto the rhythm of the writing, like waves bobbing up against the shore of Prince Edward Island. As alway...

In tonight's Sleep Hypnosis, we're going to learn healthy habits, just through the power of suggestion. The great thing about hypnosis is that you’re relaxing your mind so that it’s more suggestible. Your brain goes from a beta wave to an alpha wave, which is slowed down, and more receptive. And another cool thing about an alpha wave is that we are naturally self-loving when our minds slow down. I...

In tonight's Sleep Hypnosis, we're going to be disconnected from the alternate reality of social media. It's hard to avoid this world where everyone is creating the image of a perfect life. The illusion that there’s this elite club, some other level of existence that some people are living in, is stronger than ever. And it is an illusion. Happiness always begins with you, in your body mind and sou...

In tonight's Sleep Hypnosis with Jessica we're going to expand into sleep, letting the energetic level of our being breathe. We will do this simply because it feels good. Because the energy inside of us… our souls, if you will, or spirits, like to feel their essential expansion and connectedness. In sleep we let go of the conscious mind, with its chatter, and judgments, and the sense of self that...

In tonight's Sleep Hypnosis with Jessica, let's let go of the noise and practise presence. When we practice presence, time seems to slow down. The pursuits of the ego dissolve. Moments are quiet, yet full. Judgment falls away and humility seeps in. The greatest gift we can give to ourselves is presence. Let's enjoy that gift tonight.  As always, tonight's episode will start with a relaxing introdu...

In tonight's Sleep Hypnosis, we are going to forge a new relationship with our worries. The subconscious mind is not only a habit-former, but it’s a healer and problem solver, so the more relaxed you become, the more your subconscious mind can get creative and begin to sort out your worries. By relaxing, you can get needed perspective, hear the whisper of your intuition, or conjure positive energy...

In tonight's episode we’ll begin with some deep, relaxing hypnosis, before hearing an excerpt from Edith Wharton's The Age Of Innocence. If you fall asleep during the hypnosis, great. If you make it to the reading, just allow your mind to ride on Jessica's voice, which is riding on Wharton’s words. No need to pick up the meaning, or the plot. Just receive and let it in the soothing vibes of this g...

In tonight's Sleep Hypnosis with Jessica, we are taking a trip to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where there is currently a huge exhibit of paintings by Johannes Vermeer. We will bring our fresh eyes to one of Vermeer’s most famous works, The Milkmaid.   As always, tonight's episode will start with a relaxing introduction from Jessica, before we sink into tonight’s Sleep Hypnosis. Want more Sleep...

 In tonight's Sleep Hypnosis with Jessica, we are going to shamelessly practice self love. Self-love is a simple, unconflicted resonance within ourselves. A lack of inner conflict. Some people think self-love is selfish. But that's so wrong. Taking care of oneself is essential, and a critical part of the love equation, if we are to share ourselves, over time, with others.  As always, tonight's epi...

In tonight's Sleep Hypnosis with Jessica, we’re going to celebrate the equinox. We all have different experiences, based on our climates and our positions on the planet. Those of us in the Northern Hemisphere are having a bit of an upside down experience compared to those in the Southern hemisphere. We are launching into spring while those of you down South are dropping into autumn. But we're all...

In tonight's Sleep Hypnosis with Jessica, we’re going to travel to the Santa Monica Mountains, enjoying the groovy weirdness of Topanga Canyon, as we travel through the mountains towards the sea. As always, tonight's episode will start with a relaxing introduction from Jessica, before we sink into tonight’s Sleep Hypnosis.

In tonight's Sleep Hypnosis with Jessica, we're looking to animals to teach us how to fall back to sleep. Take a cat for example. When cats are napping, they are very, very relaxed. Almost liquid in their relaxation. Like a puddle of fur. With any unexpected noise, the cat will snap to attention. But as soon as it sees the coast is clear, boom, it sinks right back into the puddle. Straight back to...

Tonight, Jessica will be trying something new, beginning with hypnosis to bring you into a state of profound relaxation before reading you an excerpt from Virginia Woolf's 'To The Lighthouse'. All you need to do is to allow your awareness to settle on the words… on the gentle up and down of the narrative. Let yourself take a journey with Jessica down this word river, with its little detours, rapid...

Tonight's Sleep Hypnosis reminds us of that every one of us lives only one day at a time, sunrise to sunset. So, let's stop ruminating over what has been and what is to come. Instead, let's relax into this moment, the now, and enjoy the final moments of consciousness from the day that was today. And tomorrow we will wake up and start again, one day at a time.  First, we’ll start with some relaxing...

In tonight's Sleep Hypnosis, let's learn to keep things simple. You may have an overwhelming to-do list and high expectations of your own productivity, but at the end of the day, we're human! And there's only so much we can do.  First, we'll start with some relaxing insight from Jessica (00:00-05:10) Before tonight's Sleep Hypnosis (05:20-47:59) Tonight, let's teach ourselves that we can only do s...

In tonight's Sleep Hypnosis, Jessica is going to be telling the story of a trip to the Colca Canyon, high up in the Andes. It’s a canyon twice as deep as the grand canyon and it’s home to a magnificent bird that puts on a special display every morning.  First, we'll start with some relaxing insight from Jessica (00:00-04:46) Before tonight's Sleep Hypnosis (04:46-50:59) So, just close your eyes, t...

In tonight's episode, we'll be learning to release resistance, fighting our urges to dwell on the what-ifs and freeing ourself from our fears, making room for the energy of nature to work through us. This is the way to become a more powerful force in the world.  First, we'll start with some relaxing insight from Jessica (00:00-06:40) Before tonight's Sleep Hypnosis (06:40-43:57) When we resist, we...

In tonight's Sleep Hypnosis with Jessica, we will enjoy our ability to engage the imagination to access deep rest, sinking deeper and deeper into relaxation by opening ourselves up to positive suggestions, allowing this Sleep Hypnosis to work its magic. First, we'll start with some relaxing insight from Jessica (00:00-05:26) Before tonight's Sleep Hypnosis (05:25-46:00) As humans, we are functioni...

In tonight's Sleep Hypnosis with Jessica, we are simply going to meditate on the moon. We will meditate on it as a focal point, and then we’ll take a trip up there to meditate while on it. Because we can! Because our minds are magic.  First, we'll start with some relaxing insight from Jessica (00:00-04:05) Before tonight's Sleep Hypnosis (04:05-43:19) The moon is fascinating to us for so many reas...

In tonight's Sleep Hypnosis with Jessica, we relax, and paradoxically, by relaxing, we will get stronger. Which makes sense. When we get stressed out, we spend tons of energy on our whirring brain, tense muscles and biting our nails , which should probably be held in reserve for the real fights, the immunity fights. So learning how to relax is not just about improving sleep, or relationships, or m...

Tonight's Sleep Hypnosis with Jessica is our second power nap! It’s fun thinking up images and metaphors for that quick, quiet release we are looking for in a power nap. The things that help us slow down our minds. This one involves floating in an inflatable lounge chair in a luxurious swimming pool. You can enjoy it any time you feel you need to unwind, not just at bedtime. First, we'll start wit...

In tonight's Sleep Hypnosis with Jessica, we are stepping into the expansion that comes with ageing. As much as we recoil in horror at the concept of ageing, age brings some pretty great stuff. Wisdom, knowledge, confidence... Let's celebrate the fact that we can always continue to grow, even when we already think we are all “grown up”.  First, we'll start with some relaxing insight from Jessica (...
