    Part 4: Close Your Eyes, Get Free

    What if you've been perfect all along, just covered in layers of conditioning? In the final episode of the Close Your Eyes, Get Free mini-series, Grace shares two powerful metaphors that will completely transform how you think about personal growth. You're not broken and in need of fixing. You're a flawless emerald that just needs the dust wiped away. Drawing from her best-selling book, Grace reveals the Root, Trunk, and Limb concept, why hacking off the "limbs" of your problems (like quitting smoking or losing weight) without addressing the root causes only leads to new problems sprouting up elsewhere. Studies show that up to 80% of gastric bypass patients develop new addictions because the root issue was never healed. You'll discover why stress and anxiety act as the "trunk" that activates all your surface-level issues, and how the real transformation happens when you address the roots: lack of self-love, self-worth, and self-confidence. Grace challenges you to a 7-day hypnosis commitment using the free self-worth recording from the Grace Hypnotherapy app. This isn't about adding something to yourself, it's about removing what was never yours to begin with. Ready to remember who you really are?

    What if the beliefs holding you back weren't even yours to begin with? In the third episode of the Close Your Eyes, Get Free mini-series, Grace reveals the three powerful sources that shaped your subconscious programming: Environment, Elders, and Entertainment. Drawing from her best-selling book, she'll uncover how your childhood surroundings, authority figures, and media consumption created beliefs that may be sabotaging your success today. You'll discover the simple but powerful Cancel-Cancel technique that can instantly interrupt limiting thoughts and replace them with empowering ones. Grace shares why "do as I say, not as I do" doesn't work, how to choose better entertainment for your children, and the surprising truth about why believable positive thoughts trump unrealistic affirmations every time. Whether you've been stuck in patterns of negative self-talk or you're ready to finally break free from inherited family beliefs about money, success, or your capabilities, this episode will give you practical tools to start rewriting your story today.

    In Part 2 of this transformative 4-part mini-series, Grace Smith demystifies hypnosis by breaking down the actual neuroscience behind it. Forget everything Hollywood has taught you about hypnosis - Grace explains what really happens in your brain during hypnotic states and why this understanding is crucial for lasting transformation. You'll discover the four main brainwave states (Beta, Alpha, Theta, and Delta) and learn why the Theta state - where hypnosis occurs - is your brain's most adaptable condition. Grace reveals how Thomas Edison used self-hypnosis daily to fuel his inventions and shares the powerful "jungle to highway" analogy that explains how neural pathways are created and strengthened. The episode includes a guided 3-minute stress relief technique that can reduce your stress levels by 50% on average. Grace walks you through the complete process, from breathing exercises to visualization, showing you exactly how to access the Theta state and begin rewiring your stress response. Whether you're skeptical about hypnosis or ready to dive deeper into transformation, this episode provides the scientific foundation you need to understand why this tool is so powerful for creating lasting change.

    What if your inability to stick to goals isn't about willpower, discipline, or motivation, but about something much deeper? In the first episode of Grace's transformative four-part mini-series based on her book Close Your Eyes, Get Free, we explore the real root cause of why change feels so impossible: subconscious programming. Drawing from over a decade of hypnotherapy experience, Grace reveals why your conscious mind's best intentions keep losing to hidden beliefs you didn't even know you had. You'll hear a compelling story from a client who desperately needed to lose 100 pounds for life-saving surgery, her insurance depended on it, her health depended on it, yet her subconscious mind kept sabotaging every attempt. The discovery of what was really happening beneath the surface will change how you understand your own "failures" forever. Whether you've been stuck in cycles of promising yourself change or this is your first step toward understanding your subconscious mind, this episode will help you shift the conversation from willpower to reprogramming, from fighting yourself to finally working with the 90% of your mind that's been running the show.

    Close Your Eyes, Sleep: Part 3

    We all know what we should be doing to sleep better, cut the screen time, skip the wine, try yoga, get a better pillow. But what if it's not just about your routine… it's about how your subconscious relates to it? In this third episode of the Close Your Eyes, Sleep Series, Grace shares how to create your own dream bedtime routine, first in your subconscious, and then in your physical environment. You'll learn why even the most beautifully designed routines fall short if your subconscious hasn't caught up, and how we can use visualization to bridge that gap. Grace also talks about habits that support real sleep (like stopping liquids earlier, incorporating sleep-friendly foods, and progressive muscle relaxation), while always returning to the most important part: how you feel when you get into bed. Your homework this week is simple and powerful: listen to the "Visualize Your Perfect Night's Sleep" recording on the Grace Hypnotherapy app each night, and start designing your own dream space, on the inside and out. 00:00 Welcome to the Grace Smith Podcast 00:42 Visualizing a Sleep-Friendly Bedtime Routine 02:02 Designing Your Perfect Sleep Environment 07:18 Practical Tips for Better Sleep 11:50 Scientific Insights on Sleep and ADHD 13:54 Homework and Conclusion Mentioned in this episode: Close Your Eyes, Sleep (my best-selling book) “Visualize Your Perfect Night’s Sleep” (Free inside the Grace Hypnotherapy App: getgrace.com) Connect with Grace:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gracesmithtv/?hl=en Website: https://www.gracesmith.com/ Links: https://linktr.ee/getgrace

    Close Your Eyes, Sleep: Part 2

    What if you could train your brain to set your worries down every single night? In Part Two of the Close Your Eyes, Sleep Series, Grace shares one of the most effective subconscious sleep tools she’s ever created: “Put Your Worries in a Box.” This visualization technique, combined with hypno-affirmations and self-hypnosis, can help you release anxiety at bedtime, quiet your inner dialogue, and reclaim the peace you’ve been missing at night. We’ll talk about why your subconscious might be flooding you with to-do lists and stress right before sleep and how you can rewire that pattern gently and powerfully. You’ll also learn how prioritizing your “one thing” each day can ease decision fatigue, reduce overwhelm, and allow your subconscious to let go because it knows you’ve got it covered. 00:00 Welcome to the Grace Smith Podcast 00:33 Reprogramming Your Mind for Restful Sleep 00:48 Put Your Worries in a Box Technique 02:36 Practical Exercises for Reducing Worries 06:28 The Importance of Visualization 07:34 Supporting Studies on Visualization 11:31 Combining Hypnotherapy Elements 13:09 Hypno Affirmations for Better Sleep 14:20 Homework and Next Steps 14:59 Conclusion and Upcoming Topics Mentioned in this episode: Close Your Eyes, Sleep (Grace’s best-selling book) Grace Hypnotherapy App: getgrace.com Connect with Grace:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gracesmithtv/?hl=en Website: https://www.gracesmith.com/ Links: https://linktr.ee/getgrace

You’ll hear a powerful story from a client whose childhood memory of a kitchen fire shaped decades of insomnia, and you’ll learn why your subconscious may be keeping you in a state of hypervigilance every night without your conscious awareness.
