About this session
- Eases bedtime worry
- Quiets racing thoughts
- Builds sleep confidence
- Invites deeper rest
This is a hypnotherapy session that starts with a paced breath, in for four, hold for four, out for six. You then picture lighting a single flame in a favourite room. As the wax softens and slips, a countdown from ten carries you down. Later you paint your sleep worries on a canvas and watch them dissolve. House of Wellbeing leads it.
It suits anyone who has begun to see themselves as a poor sleeper, or whose mind gets loud once the lights go off. Use it at bedtime, or when you wake in the small hours and need something to follow. It also leaves you with simple affirmations and habits to take into the day.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
What is the countdown from ten for?
It links the candle to your body. Each time the wax slides down, you are invited to slide into deeper relaxation, so flame and body melt together. By the time you reach one, you are guided to feel relaxation from the top of your head to your toes.
Why does the candle go out at the end of the visualization?
The flame flickering out is given as a signal to enter the deepest relaxation possible for you. The room goes dark, and you are left in stillness, feeling safe. The suggestions about sleep come after this point.
Why does the session thank my subconscious mind?
The voice describes the subconscious as something that protects you by holding onto old, out-of-date patterns. You are asked to thank it for that work, then invited to be open to new suggestions. It sets up the idea that your sleep beliefs can change.
Which affirmations does it give me to use at night?
When a negative thought arrives, you acknowledge it and swap in a positive one. Examples include 'I feel relaxed and calm before sleep', 'I am safe and I enjoy a good night's sleep' and 'I release and let go of any worries and anxieties before bed'. It ends with 'I am a great sleeper', to say before you fall asleep.
What happens in the painting part?
You stand before a large blank canvas with oil paints and write or draw every thought that has stopped you sleeping well. You then step back and watch the paint melt and drip into a deep void. The canvas ends up black or white and empty, standing for those thoughts being gone.
What sleep habits does the track mention?
It suggests a dark, comfortable room at about 18 to 19 degrees Celsius, avoiding late caffeine and too much alcohol, and keeping a set bedtime. If you cannot sleep, it says to get up and do something relaxing until tiredness returns, so your bed stays linked with sleep.
