***Disclaimer: please don't not listen to this when driving and attempting any other activities*** Something different from "On The Fringes" This is a FREE hypnosis from @breakingthroughcoaching (Jake). It is to help you rebalance, re-energise, realign and feel revitalised. We believe in talking about "the fringes" in life and also experiencing our own edges of what can transform us. So be open and give this hypnosis a go. Hypnosis is just our natural state of relaxation. You can, at any point, bring yourself out of hypnosis at any time(just so you know). Enjoy the healing power of words and your own mind. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fringepod/support
