This space is for trust-seekers ready to lean into that complexity, crack open the layers, and connect deeply with their own truth.
Join me, Alanna Banks, a certified clinical hypnotist, master NLP practitioner, and life fulfillment coach. Each week, I will guide you through hypnotic meditations and soul-expanding conversations. If you’re a big thinker ready to stop seeking validation and start trusting yourself, this show is your invitation to turn inward, trust your intuition, and live a life that feels right to you.
Let’s journey together into the heart of who you really are. No filters, no fluff—just real talk, absolute trust, and the real you waiting to be cracked open

Welcome everyone. Today's session is inspired by the energy of Aquarius season, a time of innovation, individuality and bold vision. Aquarius is the 11th sign of the zodiac and the number 11 holds the energy of spiritual mastery and higher purpose. It invites us to trust our intuition and step into our unique gifts with confidence. And, when reduced, 11 becomes the number two, reminding us of the importance of harmony and connection, balancing our individuality with collective progress, selective progress. And this year we're in a universal nine year in numerology, and nine is a year of transformation and completion. It's a time to let go of outdated beliefs, patterns, behaviors, so that we can make room for something new and something more aligned. So in this session, you will journey inward to release what you're ready to let go of, connect with your unique vision and step into a powerful sense of balance and alignment. So all you need to do is relax, listen and allow yourself to flow with the experience. Let's begin. As you settle into this moment, let your body find a comfortable position, allowing yourself to feel supported by the surface beneath you. There's nothing you need to do right now. Just notice the rhythm of your breath, the gentle rise and fall In and out, a natural flow, like the ebb and flow of a tide, and as you continue to breathe, you may imagine yourself standing by a flowing river. The water moves effortlessly, steady and calm. You might feel the cool breeze of Aquarius season rushing against your skin, carrying with it the energy of change and possibility. This air, so fresh and light, invites you to let go of anything heavy, stagnant or old. Notice the sounds around you the gentle flow of the water, the rustling of the leaves or the quiet hum of the breeze. These sounds remind you that life is always moving, always transforming. And as you stand by this river, you might begin to feel your own energy shifting, softening, opening to what's. With each breath out, you release tension and with each breath in, you welcome clarity. There's no rush. Just allow yourself to settle deeper into this moment, deeper into stillness, deeper into the flow of change.
Speaker 1:Now, as you stand by the river, you might notice certain feelings or thoughts arising, old beliefs, habits or patterns that no longer serve you. These could be stories you've told yourself about who you need to be, fears of being misunderstood or perhaps behaviors that feel small for the person. You're becoming Free from judgment. Simply notice these things. Imagine them as leaves floating on the surface of the water, one by one, place them into the river, watch as the current carries them away effortlessly, gently. The river knows exactly what to do. You might feel a lightness in your body as you release. Perhaps you notice a breath that feels deeper, or a sense of space opening up within you. And as you let go, you might hear yourself thinking or feeling I release the fear of being misunderstood. I let go of the need to conform. I release all that no longer serves me. Take a moment to notice how this release feels in your body. Perhaps there's a new sense of lightness, freedom or clarity. And as the river flows, you might even begin to feel excitement, because letting go is the funding, but a beginning.
Speaker 1:Now, as the river clears away what no longer serves you, now, as the river clears away what no longer serves you, imagine a soft light beginning to glow within you. This light represents your unique vision, your inner wisdom, your highest potential. Notice how this light grows brighter with every breath. This light illuminates a path before you, a path that feels uniquely yours. And as you step onto this path in your mind's eye, notice how it feels. There's no rush, no pressure. Simply walk forward, step by step with clarity and confidence, and confidence. Along this path, you might notice symbols or colors or images, arising, things that represent your vision and purpose. Trust whatever comes to you, knowing that these symbols are messages from your inner wisdom.
Speaker 1:And as you continue walking, you might feel a deep sense of connection to yourself, to the and community, uniqueness and harmony. You step forward, affirm to yourself I trust my inner vision to guide me toward meaningful change. I am free to express my boldest ideas. I balance my individuality with harmony in my connections. Notice how these words settle into your mind, your heart, your body. This is your truth, this is your power. And now take a moment to imagine how your light connects with the light of others. Picture a web of energy stretching out around the globe, linking you to a collective of individuals, each stepping into their own power, each contributing their unique gifts, and together this collective light grows brighter, creating waves of change and possibility for all. Feel the strength of this connection, the power of this shared vision. You are not alone. You are part of something much greater. You are part of something much greater. As you prepare to return to the present moment, carry this sense of clarity, freedom and connection with you. Feel the strength in your legs, the rhythm of your breath, the warmth of your hands. These sensations remind you that you are grounded, present and capable of bringing your vision into reality. And when you're ready, you mind and a deep trust in your unique vision. You are powerful, you are loved. This is your time and before you go about your day, just take a moment to honor yourself for the work you've done here today.
Speaker 1:Change begins in these quiet moments of stillness where you release what no longer serves you and make space for your highest self to emerge, highest self to emerge. You've connected with your inner wisdom, invited in your unique vision and set powerful intention for the days ahead. So trust that the shifts you've made will continue to unfold in the most natural and effortless ways, guiding you toward the path that is truly yours. Guiding you toward the path that is truly yours. And remember that Aquarius season reminds us to embrace our individuality while staying connected to the collective. You have the power to create change, not just within yourself, but in the world around you. Your light, your ideas, your actions, they ripple outward, inspiring others in ways you may never fully realize. So, as you move forward, trust in your inner vision, take bold steps towards your dreams and know that you are exactly where you're meant to be.
Speaker 1:This is your time to shine. This is your time to thrive. This is your time to shine. This is your time to thrive. This is your time to be in your power.
