Hypnosis: The Golden Path
Building trust and finding direction
Time: 10 minute
My name is Nathelie and I am a professional hypnotherapist.
The Golden Path is a short 10-15 minute guided hypnosis audio. This guided journey is for those navigating the emotional storms of change — especially divorce, sabotage, conflict, commitment anxiety or overwhelm. You’ll learning to trust the golden path beneath your feet — even when you can’t see it— as it gently guides you through confusion and fear, helping you reconnect with a deeper, inner knowing.
This is my hypnosis script. You can find the Golden Path Hypnosis audio here:

The Golden Path
Induction & Deepening
Allow your body to relax as you settle into a comfortable position. If you are sitting on a chair, feel your feet firmly on the floor, If you are lying down, feel the mattress support you. Let your body and mind relax. Just listen to the sound of my voice. Let that guide you on this journey. Take a slow, deep breath in… and hold it. Then breathe out. Let all your tension and worries slip away… Take another breath hold it - and then let it go. Each breath in takes you deeper into relaxation… Each breath out releases all doubt…. tension… any tightness…. Now, take a final deep breath in. Hold it. Hold it. As you let it go, imagine a warm healing light encircling and holding your body like a cocoon
Good.
Now I would like to look at this wonderful light, perhaps it is a soft golden light or a bright blue light, whatever feels right for you. Whatever makes you feel even more relaxed. Now, as I count down from 5 to 1 you will now sink into the warmth of the light.
5... You see the light shimmer in front of you. You know you want to relax deeply into it.
4... The light is warming your feet and wrapping round your knees. Every muscle now relaxes
3... Your body is sinking deeper and deeper into the soft healing light
2... The light is now around your shoulder and head – holding you as you sink deeper and deeper.
1... You are so heavy. So sleepy. Sinking even deeper. So deeply relaxed. Zero. And zero.
Good. You are now deeply relaxed. Sleep now.
Now I would like you to come on a journey with you. Imagine a golden path unfolding in front of you. It shimmers slightly in the crisp sunshine. The path is surrounded by a trees and grassy banks. Sunlight filters softly through the trees. The air is fresh, carrying the subtle scent of pine and moss.
The Pathway of Trust – Visualization
As you walk along this path, you hear the crunch of sandy gravel
The golden path beneath your feet is steady, reliable, and sure. It knows where to go.
With each step you take you relax deeper
You hear the woodpecker drilling in the trees.
You notice bluebells and harebells swaying softly.
You touch the rough bark of a tree
Each step feels safe and certain,
You feel so peaceful and contented.
The air changes subtly -was that a rain drop splash on your face?
There's another and another. You look up and see the sky swiftly darken
to a soft grey then patches of charcoal blue.
The wind picks up gently. It plays first with your hair, then pulls at your coat.
It become stronger and stronger.
You push back against it.
It pushes you
it is now raining hard. Too hard
You start to fight. To get away.
You hate this place. Anywhere is better
Through the rain you see a dark clearing in the woods?
It looks sheltered… maybe it's safe?
You step off the path
It is so dark now it is difficult to see
The ground is rougher then you thought
You slip into rabbit holes
Your feet sinks deep in thick mud.
Everything feel hemmed in. Suffocating.
Brambles cling. Woods are thicker.
Confusing. You feel overwhelmed
Every part of you wants to retreat, hide, disappear.
You want to curl up and disappear.
Inside you suddenly scream, "Where's the golden path?"
You turn away.
Seeking the golden brightness.
The path that made you feel safe
Where's the golden path?
It has gone.
You cry "I’ve ruined it. I left the path. I won’t find it again."
And then
—something ancient stirs, deep inside of you
Something so wise that your body stops to listen.
It says, "Close your eyes..."
You're so surprised that you do
And there, in your mind's eye…
You see a bright shimmer, a golden thread
the path is there.
A clear and loving voice says:
"You are not lost. You just stepped away.
The path is still with you.
It's always with you
It can never be lost"
As you listen to these words
Hope overflows into happiness
You feel a deep certainty well up inside of you
You now know for sure what to do.
the voice softly says
"That is what trust feels like" Can't you remember?
Trust... that is something you had forgotten
How to anchor yourself
Knowing for that you can always find the path
Wherever you are.
This knowing wraps around you
Like a thick warm blanket
Caressing your skin
you relax so deeply
Deeply into the knowing that you are safe
Safe and held.
And as you relax deeper and deeper
Your feel so happy knowing that this path is your life-long guide
You feel more safe and certain than you ever have before.
And you realise this is how trust is born.
When you open your eyes
Slowly you look. There - you can see the golden path
It was slightly hidden by a few rocks
You had missed it in your panic. Your fear had made you blind.
You run towards it in delight.
You feel born again as you step onto the golden path
The golden path takes up a hill a steep hill
Its slow going but worth it - when you reach the top
You stop
You pause
You catch up with yourself
You gasp at the stunning views
Sunlight streams into the valley ahead
Snow peaked mountains, eagles soaring, villages dotted in the distance
-a lake with islands and a monastery.
You have never seen anything so beautiful
Filled with joy you run down the golden path
Trees turning to orchards and pastures
You can smell the roses in the hedgerows.
See sparrows sit on the fence chirping
You find a little stream by a great oak tree
This feels like home. This is home.
You lean against the tree feeling safe, supported and secure.
Maybe you touch the golden water, cool and clean.
A dragonfly hovers near your hand
In this place of deep peace you relax so deeply
You feel so safe. So relaxed
You suddenly realise that this was your doing
You were trying to control...
Control the weather
Control the path
Control everything
But you can't
Life can't be controlled.
It will take you where you need to go
That is how life works
A deep ancient voice inside you says
"One step forward is all it takes"
You get it. You really do.
You don't need to know the destination.
You just need to take one more step.
You heart fills with love for yourself
For you know that you can do this
You can always trust yourself to take the next step
The outcome can sort itself out.
You smile to yourself —
The golden path is always there
It's part of you. It cannot leave you.
You just need to remember to look.
And with this realisation you relax even deeper letting the feelings of compassion, certainty and trust deepen and deepen even more. Even deeper. Even more
Emerging from Hypnosis
You know that whenever you need to you can journey back here to find the golden path and connect to a deeper, ancient wisdom. Here you can reclaim your trust, inner certainty and strength. So now, in a few moments, it is time to return. When you are ready and only when you are ready you can journey back with me. I will slowly, count up from 1 to 5 and on the count of 5 you will be back home.
1… Feeling so relaxed and peaceful
2… Coming back from the shimmering the golden path.
3… You bring trust, inner strength and certainty with you.
4... The room around you starts to take shape
5… Now fully awake, fully present. When you're ready, open your eyes. And stretch. You are home.
