Improve Speaking

Public speaking sits at the top of most people's fear list, above heights and, famously, above dying. This downloadable hypnosis audio is for the person who has something worth saying and hates the ten minutes before they say it.

Under hypnotic relaxation and direct suggestion, the session works on the physical part, the racing heart, the dry mouth, the shaking hands and the voice that will not sit still, and on the mental part, the certainty that everyone is waiting for you to fail. It builds a settled, grounded feeling as you stand up, a steadier pace, and the ability to lose your place and simply pick it back up. Weddings, presentations, pitches, interviews, the school hall, the boardroom. The nerves become useful energy instead of the thing running the show.

How it works

It works in two halves. First the recording walks you down into hypnotic relaxation, which is nothing stranger than the drifting state you pass through every night on the way to sleep. Your body settles, your attention narrows, and the part of you that argues with everything gets quiet. Then come the direct suggestions, spoken plainly and repeated, aimed at the habit or the feeling you want changed. Repetition is the whole trick. A suggestion heard once is an idea. The same suggestion heard night after night starts to feel like the truth about you.

How to listen

• Headphones, somewhere quiet, somewhere safe. Sit back or lie down and let it play.
• Bedtime is the best slot. Start it as you settle down for the night.
• If you drift off, let it happen. It will not jolt you awake, and it keeps working while you sleep, so you get a proper night's rest and train your brain at the same time.
• Most people listen every night for two or three weeks, then whenever they want a top up.
• If you have a date in the diary, start two or three weeks out and listen on the night before as well.
• Never while driving, and never while operating machinery.

What you get

• An instant download. You pay, and it is yours in seconds.
• A high quality MP3 that plays on a phone, a tablet, a laptop, anything.
• It lives in your account for good, so you can download it again as often as you like, on any device, forever.
• No subscription, nothing to install, nothing to renew.

Please note

This is self help, not medical treatment. It is never a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis or intervention, and it does not replace anything a doctor has told you to do. Hypnosis is not a magic wand either. It works when you want the change and you listen often. Results vary from one person to the next.
