Treasure Chest Discovery

Discover an inner chest of buried gifts and resources.

This session is a short search for a hidden chest and the moment you lift the lid to see what is waiting inside.

You walk across a quiet room, lift the heavy latch, and spend your time looking at the buried gifts that have been kept there. You do not have to do anything with them except look.

A hidden chest sits somewhere quiet waiting for you. It is full of buried gifts and resources that are already yours, sitting under a lid that is not locked.

You walk over to see what is inside, and the only job here is lifting the cover and looking at what you find.

What’s in it

A hidden chest of buried gifts and resources, waiting to be uncovered.

Why do it

Revisiting and acknowledging internal resources through imagery helps reinforce a state of abundance and self-reliance.

Where it sits

Doors, treasures, bridges, libraries, lighthouses, cathedrals.

Why going here does anything

Returning to an image of a chest holding your own resources gives the mind a single easy thing to do, which is looking at what is already there.

A mind busy noticing buried gifts is not busy searching for them somewhere else. This journey spends its time letting you see that the contents are yours.

Hypnosis is not for everyone. If you have epilepsy, a psychotic illness, or you are under psychiatric care, talk to your clinician before using this — here or anywhere.
