💛 Cracked Open with Alanna Banks

Imagine waking up one day, humming a tune in your shower, and realizing it has a profound message about liberating your mind. That's exactly what happened to me.  I share a validation love note inspired by my friend's struggle to let go, focusing on stepping out of comfort zones, challenging societal norms, and breaking free from self-imposed limitations. We'll also touch on the power of fostering a culture of acceptance and support.Have you ever wondered about the magic that could happen if we let our minds wander, dream, and imagine? Join me as we explore this, drawing on the importance of self-reflection, compassion, and challenging our beliefs—the importance of surrounding ourselves with inspiring people and the community's role in mental liberation.

Have you ever felt like your feelings and experiences are dismissed or ignored? I'm kicking off the second season with a focus on something we all crave but rarely get enough of - VALIDATION. As we move through this season, I'll be your guide, sharing my validation notes, little love notes reminding you that your emotions are valid, you matter, and you're not alone.Each week, we'll explore how validation serves as a salve for self-doubt, insecurity, and isolation. This season, we explore the importance of being seen, heard, and understood and how to navigate tricky emotional landscapes, testing situations, challenging relationships, and life's ups and downs. Feel free to connect with me on Instagram at @alannabankscoaching - let's embark on this validating journey together.Support the show

I created this hypnotic meditation for the members of my Embrace program, and I thought it would also be helpful to share with the larger community. This guided hypnotic meditation is a powerful way to connect with your inner child and offer them the love and support they need to let go of the opinions and beliefs of others and normalize what being a kid is all about. It is a gentle and compassionate way to help you work through any unresolved emotions or traumas from your past and connect to your adult version.This guided hypnotic meditation can help you find the inner strength and resources you need to heal and move forward. In addition, it is a powerful tool for anyone who wants to cultivate a greater sense of self-love and self-compassion.Music by Maura ten Hoopen.

James Allen wrote in the chapter Serenity in the book As a Man Thinketh, "Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom. It is the result of long and patient effort in self-control." I love this chapter and spent a month writing it by hand every night before bed to anchor in the learnings of being calm. This hypnotic meditation is the result of that practice. I wanted to create an experience encompassing that chapter that would quickly send me into a calm and relaxed state. I recommend that you listen to this often and notice how easily and effortlessly you will be in a calm and powerful state.Enjoy!To book a hypnotherapy session with me, go to www.alannabanks.com or @alannabankscoachingSupport the show
