What Do I Actually Want? How to Hear Yourself Beneath the Shoulds | Seer Sessions podcast with Jina Seer
Seer Sessions #289
Earlier this month, we explored a deceptively difficult question:
What do I actually want?
And one of the practices I gave you was simply to notice the moment a want appears.
Then notice what happens next.
Maybe almost immediately you start explaining.
That isn't realistic.
I shouldn't want that.
That doesn't make sense.
What would they think?
I should probably want something else.
The purpose isn't to assume that every desire should become a decision.
It is to give yourself enough room to actually know what's there before you decide what to do with it.
This hypnotic journey takes that practice deeper.
In this journey
I’ll guide you through relaxation, grounding, and expanded awareness before inviting you to connect with your Higher Self.
You can think of the Higher Self as that deeper, quieter part of you beneath some of the immediate noise of everyday thinking.
You don't have to arrive knowing what you want.
You don't need a problem to solve.
And you don't have to make anything happen.
Instead, you'll be given space to observe what arises as you explore a series of questions.
You’ll explore
What has been helping you feel more interested, curious, and alive?
What would feel good to admit that you want?
What have you been telling yourself that you should want?
What do you need more of to make this life feel like yours?
What do you need less of?
And finally:
What would you choose if nobody needed to understand it or approve of it?
Those are the central questions of the journey itself.
You don't have to do anything with the answer
This may be one of the most important parts.
Hearing yourself doesn't require immediately changing your life.
You can notice a desire without making it a plan.
You can receive information without putting it on your to-do list.
The practice is becoming more familiar with what makes you feel alive, what pulls you closer to yourself, what pushes you farther away, and what you would like more or less of.
Then you have more information from which to make your next choice.
Tiny decision by tiny decision, your life can begin to reflect more of who you actually are.
Listen when
Come back to this journey when:
You're feeling restless or disconnected from your life
You keep asking yourself what you should do next
You know something needs to change but aren't sure what
You're questioning whether a desire is really yours
Your thoughts are louder than your own knowing
You simply want some quiet space to reconnect with yourself
Journey begins at 2:59.
Listen in a quiet place where you can relax without interruption. Do not listen while driving.

TRANSCRIPT
Hey everyone, it's Jina. You're listening to Seer Sessions. The podcast where I share conversations and guided hypnotic journeys to help you quiet your mental noise so you can hear yourself more clearly and make choices that feel like your own. Earlier this month, we explored the question how do I know what I actually want? And one of the things I invited you to pay attention to was the moment when you notice yourself wanting something.
And then what happens immediately afterward? Like, is there an explanation? Are you thinking about the practicality, or does this make sense? Are you thinking about the reasons why you shouldn't? Or maybe you're questioning what someone else might think. For this hypnotic journey, we're gonna give some of that a little less airtime in your mind. Now, I am not saying that every desire you have.
should be the action you take or the decision you make. I'm really not. But it's worthy to allow those things to come up and pause before we explain them away or mark them as unreasonable or something that you can't do. Especially if you are feeling stuck or you're feeling like life is just meh or maybe you've checked all the boxes and you're like, is this it?
It is so important to understand ourselves and what we want. And then within that, what we do with those wants. So today I'm gonna guide you into that hypnotic trance state, and you're gonna connect with your higher self, that part of you that knows that calm, quiet inner voice, the true self, the real you. So that question, what do I want? We're never gonna get the answer if we're.
Always stifling the things that we're desiring. Even if it seems like I can't have those things for legitimate reasons, we still need to allow them to come up and to just notice them and understand that they're there. And that is what this hypnotic journey is about. It's giving you that quiet space and that direction for you to go deep within just to see what is in there, to see what you actually want.
Jina Seer (02:27.636)
in your life now. And if you're new to Sear Sessions and you'd like another way to practice this, I created a free practice called Return to Yourself. You can find it through the link in the show notes and I will send it to you. And if you're new to this and you're wondering how to do a hypnotic journey at home, I have links in the show notes as well to help guide you there and answer all of your questions. Okay, are you ready? Let's begin.
Jina Seer (02:59.448)
Find a comfortable place, make sure it's safe for you to release all responsibility and turn your focus inward. Getting into a comfortable position, blinking your eyes closed.
And in a moment or whenever you feel settled, just take three deep cleansing breaths.
Taking these three deep cleansing breaths. Nice slow long inhales.
Long full exhales.
Jina Seer (03:42.072)
With each exhale, just feel yourself soften and relax even more.
Jina Seer (03:54.998)
And just whenever you complete those deep breaths, just settle into the natural rhythm of your breath.
Feeling the air move in and out of your body.
Feel your body move with your breath.
Jina Seer (04:19.244)
And just feel yourself here.
Jina Seer (04:25.166)
Bring your awareness along the back side of your body, and specifically to the parts of you that sink into the softness beneath you. Effortlessly and automatically feel those parts of you sink even deeper.
Deeper and deeper with each exhale.
Jina Seer (04:54.498)
And just drifting to the sound of my voice, focusing intently on the words and on the journey as it unfolds in front of us.
Jina Seer (05:10.134)
If your mind wanders or drifts too far, you'll hear my voice saying the word now. And that word now will sound clear in your ear, and you'll be able to wake up and refocus intently on the words and on the journey.
images, impressions, feelings, knowings, they'll all float easily into your mind in response to my words.
And now imagine a light from the highest source.
Jina Seer (05:59.682)
Know that this light from the highest source holds healing and wisdom for you.
Jina Seer (06:10.582)
And now know that a beam of that light is coming toward you now.
Jina Seer (06:20.896)
And now bring your awareness to the very top of your head.
And now imagine the crown of your head opening up and allow this divine light from the highest source to come in through your crown.
Jina Seer (06:43.72)
As this light comes in, know that it carries healing, a deep sense of peace, an ancient universal wisdom.
As this light comes in through your crown and penetrates every part of you, it's cleansing your energy and bringing you a deep sense of calm and quiet.
Jina Seer (07:24.276)
As this light comes in, you feel the warmth at the top of your head. And as this light touches your forehead and your eyebrows, you feel all those tiny muscles soften and release.
And this light moves down across your eyelids and
Across your temples and your jawline, even your tongue relaxes, even if it's just one percent more.
Jina Seer (08:06.86)
This light moves into your neck, pulls in your shoulders, and you feel your shoulders soften, give way to gravity, and sink even deeper.
This light fills your arms all the way to your fingertips.
And your arms feel so heavy at your sides.
Jina Seer (08:42.072)
When this light moves down your spine all the way to your hips, you feel a wave of relaxation move all the way down your back.
You feel yourself sink even deeper.
Jina Seer (09:07.352)
This light moves into your chest, opening up your heart center.
Jina Seer (09:14.69)
Now this light overflows into your abdomen, bathing all your organs in this healing light from above.
Jina Seer (09:29.582)
And this light moves down into your hips, thighs, knees, calves, ankles. It pools in your feet. And you feel your legs soften and sink even deeper.
Jina Seer (09:55.822)
Just allow an even greater sense of ease, softness, deep relaxation to move through your body now.
Jina Seer (10:15.084)
And you are now totally bathed in this healing light from above.
It's healing you and giving you access to all of its ancient wisdom.
Jina Seer (10:33.26)
And now bring your awareness to the center of you. Think of your physical form. And now think of the exact center point and where that would be in your body.
Jina Seer (10:52.0)
And now imagine, sense, feel a grounding root system that goes from your core, your center, down into the earth.
And just imagine these roots today.
Maybe you sense them like roots on a tree or colorful ribbons of energy. Maybe a waterfall or something else. However, you imagine them today, know that they are reaching so far, so wide, and so deep.
And know that with each exhale, you're releasing any energy that's weighing you down, holding you back, anything that's negative, heavy, tight, it's washed away down into the earth through this root system.
Jina Seer (12:04.438)
And Earth takes this energy from your roots and she uses it, transmutes it to a higher frequency of love and healing for everyone and everything that calls Earth home.
So on your next inhale, imagine, sense, feel, know that you're bringing in that grounding, healing energy of Mother Earth.
This energy is running to you through this root system.
Jina Seer (12:46.712)
This energy is nourishing you, grounding you, holding you safely.
And now bring your awareness back to your core, your center, the center of the center of the center of you.
Know that there is a spark of light there. This spark of light is the ancient, eternal, all-knowing part of you. The part of you that lives life after life and life in between lives. The part of you that holds all the memories and all the plans.
And now know that with each breath, this spark of light is growing bigger and brighter.
Bigger and brighter with each breath, each heartbeat.
Jina Seer (13:57.324)
And just imagine this light getting so big, so bright, that it begins to shine out all around you.
Jina Seer (14:13.934)
This light begins to form a protective layer all around you.
Have this light surround you with its love and protection. Only truth and love can enter this space as you go deeper and deeper relaxed.
This protective layer of light is always available to you. Simply think about it, feel gratitude for it, and then feel it working.
You are now totally protected, grounded to earth, and bathed in the healing light and wisdom from the highest source.
Jina Seer (15:09.878)
And just be here. Relax in this divine energy that you are.
And because you're in this wonderfully relaxed state, you can feel and access your soul self even more.
Jina Seer (15:29.986)
You can feel this light that you are, this wonderful abundance of energy.
And now imagine your light reaching out beyond this protective layer that surrounds you, and you remain inside of.
Imagine your light reaching out farther and farther. And as your light grows, you feel this light that you are even more.
And just feel this light that you are.
Jina Seer (16:18.034)
Every day now you are more and more aware of this light that you are and the gifts and power you have because of it.
Jina Seer (16:32.514)
Your light reaches out even farther until it's expanded into all that is.
And you are one with all the energy around you, and all the energy that is you.
And now in a place of expanded consciousness, expanded awareness, moving into a realm of pure and unconditional love, a realm of all-knowing, all experiencing, and all being.
Jina Seer (17:21.002)
And now imagine a portal of light just above your head.
Jina Seer (17:29.826)
This is a portal to your higher self, your real and true self, your soul, your knowing.
Jina Seer (17:46.392)
This part of you exists outside of space and time. It exists within your knowing. It's unencumbered by earthly limitations like the ego. And it has access to all of your soul's lessons, plans, and wisdom.
Jina Seer (18:15.16)
During this journey, you'll connect with your higher self for healing, guidance, and clarity. You'll walk away with a renewed sense of confidence in your own power and intuition, and a greater feeling of peace, knowing you can access this part of yourself anytime you need to move through this portal.
All we need to do is shift the frequency that's in your heart to the highest frequency, the one of unconditional love.
Jina Seer (18:59.36)
So know that the portal is there. Know you will effortlessly move through it as your heart expands into a feeling of unconditional love.
Jina Seer (19:14.784)
And now bring to the front of your mind a time in your life when you felt unconditionally loved.
Jina Seer (19:28.086)
And just be in this memory. Be in this love.
Jina Seer (19:38.838)
And feel this love in your body.
The feeling might be subtle, but you will feel it.
Jina Seer (19:51.64)
Be in this memory, feel the love flowing in both directions.
Jina Seer (20:02.046)
Observe how this loving feeling feels in your body. And just observe that feeling of love in your body.
Jina Seer (20:18.934)
No matter how subtle or loud, imagine turning up the volume on this feeling of unconditional love.
Jina Seer (20:32.664)
Feel it even more in your body, in your mind, in this memory.
Jina Seer (20:43.754)
As you feel this emotion, as your heart takes on the frequency of unconditional love, effortlessly and automatically, your awareness moves through the portal above your head. This may be instant or take a few breaths.
No matter when you go, just be in this feeling of unconditional love.
Feel your whole being shift, expand, elevate.
And now, in the space of your higher self, allow this experience to unfold.
This part of you holds the most love, the most healing, the most wisdom for you in your life today.
Jina Seer (21:48.233)
Sense your higher self there and
Be in this truest form of you. Be in your wisdom. Be in your love.
Just feel the love and appreciation your higher self has for you and all the work you're doing in this life.
Jina Seer (22:19.734)
And just receive that love.
Jina Seer (22:25.262)
Feel that love from your higher self.
Jina Seer (22:31.744)
And now know that the energy, the consciousness of you is now merging with the energy in the wisdom of your higher self, your eternal soul's energy, the realest, truest version of you.
Every day you'll notice more and more of yourself, your energy and your wisdom.
Knowing that this version of you is always with you, you'll feel more calm, more peace and inner wisdom.
Jina Seer (23:26.56)
And now, before we begin, just allow your higher self to share any messages for you. It might have to do with the topic we're exploring, or it might have to do with something else in your life. Just allow your higher self to share this first message with you.
Jina Seer (25:04.576)
And now allow your higher self to show you what has been helping you feel more interested, more curious, more alive in your life. Just observe what comes to mind. Know that you will remember.
Jina Seer (26:27.756)
Now just observe what comes to mind in response to this question. What would feel good to admit that you want?
Jina Seer (27:33.452)
What have you been telling yourself that you should want?
Jina Seer (28:40.14)
And now allow your higher self to tell you, what do you need more of to make this life feel like yours?
Jina Seer (29:39.778)
What do you need less of to make this life feel like yours?
Jina Seer (30:46.944)
And now just observe what comes to mind in response to this question. What would you choose if nobody needed to understand it or approve of it? If you didn't have to explain it to anyone, what do you want?
Jina Seer (32:08.886)
And just know that every day it'll get easier and easier for you to understand your desires, to consciously be aware of them before you explain them away or put them to the side. You'll be able to notice what you would like more of, less of.
What makes you feel closer to you or farther away? And with that information, you'll be able to build a life tiny decision by tiny decision in a way that feels expansive and interesting to you.
Jina Seer (33:16.256)
And now just allow your higher self to share any other messages with you today. It might build on something we've covered. It might be something completely off topic. Just allow any last messages from your higher self to come through.
Jina Seer (34:18.05)
Beginning our journey now back toward the present moment, sending love and gratitude to yourself and your higher self, your eternal soul's energy, knowing that these parts of you are always there, and your connection grows deeper and deeper every time you listen. I'm gonna count from five to one.
And when I say one, you'll be balanced and ready for the part of your day that comes next. Five, remembering every part of this experience. Four, bringing back with you the insights, healing, and wisdom. Three, more and more in touch with the room around you. Two, beginning to feel sensation in your fingers and toes, and
And one, feeling balanced and ready for the next part of your day.
