From the streets of Chicago to the shores of Newport Beach is the former athlete turned high-performance and influential coach Steven Griffith, treating the world to 17 tracks of motivation and relief with his recent project, Performance Hypnosis.
Griffith is no stranger to adversity. Having grown up on the Northwest side of Chicago with his father's departure and financial struggles, he later turned to baseball, basketball, and football in high school. He continued as a D1 college football player. It wasn't until 1990 that Steven Griffith stepped into coaching, realizing he could positively impact many lives.
And now, as he continues making that a reality with his company A-Game Coaching, Steven Griffith is helping listeners reach their peak performance with a 17-track hypnosis and meditation album titled Performance Hypnosis. But just how effective are these tracks? Well, for someone who's spent over 25,000 hours coaching high-level executives and athletes ranging from the NBA to the NHL, it's clear Griffith knows what he's doing...
The album opens with the first 20-minute track, "High Performance," where Steven Griffith introduces listeners to his concept of "Timefulness®," being intentional and present with your time. And that's exactly what this entire album is about. There's a hypnosis track here for practically any situation. All it takes is finding a quiet space, being intentional with your time, and focusing your attention on the inspirational, powerful words Griffith has to say.
What's interesting about this project is how the tracks vary significantly over time. High-impact goals (and individual tracks) like "Stress Reduction," "Life Purpose," "Communication," and "Money Magnet" are all over 20 minutes long. Steven Griffith understands the weight of these goals and puts maximum effort into these hypnosis tracks, ensuring they help you visualize and truly feel what's to come in the future.
We especially appreciate how specific Steven Griffith gets in tracks like "Blind Spot Breakthrough," "Weightloss," "Technology Detox," and "Gratitude." It's almost as if he provided a hypnosis track for every life experience, and his calming, gentle approach is genuinely refreshing. In particular, "Gratitude" was one of the most moving pieces. It's a solid reminder to appreciate what's around you, to support yourself, and to become more at peace from within.
But there's one recurring theme throughout the album...abundance. While it's not an individual track, it's a broader sense of enlightenment, meaning every single track Steven Griffith delivers was ultimately designed to help you live an abundant life. Whether abundant in wealth, health, happiness, courage, or confidence, these tracks help you achieve exactly that.
Steven Griffith's voice is deeply soothing, and his articulate expression and gentle delivery are like a blanket of warmth and tenderness. Although inspirational, it's also rejuvenating. Alongside the harmonious background vocals, birds twittering, gentle chimes, fading pads, and the overall velvety atmosphere, Steven Griffith makes it effortless to tune out the world and into your individual needs.
This isn't your ordinary album. It's surely not the average type of album we tend to feature. In all honesty, it's better. Steven Griffith put his heart and soul into creating 17 ultra-specific hypnosis tracks ranging from sleep, love, and life purpose to leadership, focus, and motivation. And for someone with an incredible track record in coaching like himself, this album has everything you need to realign your goals, course correct, and get back on track to living an abundant, fulfilling life.
If you need daily meditation, find relief in Steven Griffith's newest 17-track album, Performance Hypnosis, now available on all digital streaming platforms.
Welcome to Buzz, Steven! We are so impressed by the inspirational and meditative nature of your recent project, Performance Hypnosis. What inspired you to create this particular project?
Performance Hypnosis was born out of a deep understanding of, and concern for, the overwhelming stress and anxiety many people face in today's high-pressure, fast-paced world. With constant connection and distractions from our modern world of technology and phones, it's easy to feel inundated and unable to find moments of peace. I wanted to offer a solution that could provide relief and help individuals tap into their inner calm and focus to live their best lives.
The inspiration for this project stemmed from my own rising levels of distraction, stress, and overwhelm, as well as witnessing the struggles of those around me. I saw a need for a tool that could help people break through personal barriers, reduce their stress levels, and enhance their performance in various aspects of life, whether in work, sports, academics, or personal endeavors.
Personal Experience with Hypnosis: My path took a significant turn during my time as a high-level collegiate athlete when I suffered a potentially career-ending injury. After recovering from the physical aspects of my injury, I found that my mind was still holding me back due to fear of re-injury. During that time, I was introduced to hypnosis, which quickly allowed me to let go of my fear and trust in myself and instill the confidence I needed to return to competition successfully.
Years later, I use Performance Hypnosis with my clients from all walks of life to help them break through personal barriers and unlock their full potential.
Through Performance Hypnosis, I aim to empower individuals to take control of their mental and emotional well-being. By combining elements of mindfulness, meditation, and hypnosis, I offer a unique approach that allows individuals, through the brain's neuroplasticity, to reprogram their subconscious minds for success and resilience.
In today's hectic world, it's more important than ever to prioritize mental health and find ways to cultivate inner peace. Performance Hypnosis is my contribution to this cause, and I'm honored to share it with the world.
How has guided meditation and hypnosis benefited you, and what do you think listeners could benefit most from hearing Performance Hypnosis?
Guided meditation and hypnosis have been transformative for me personally, offering profound benefits in various aspects of my life. These practices have given me valuable tools for increasing confidence, managing stress, recovering mentally and physically, enhancing focus, and being more creative. Through guided meditation and hypnosis, I've learned to quiet my mind and cultivate a sense of inner calm amidst the chaos of daily life, allowing me to be more present and engaged in life. In addition, when needed, it has helped me navigate challenging situations with greater clarity and resilience.
Performance Hypnosis offers a holistic approach to personal development, addressing well-being's mental, emotional, and physical aspects by providing powerful techniques for eliminating unconscious barriers, restoring the mind and body, and improving focus and concentration—essential skills in today's fast-paced world.
Listeners can greatly benefit from experiencing Performance Hypnosis. It also offers a pathway to deep relaxation and stress relief, allowing individuals to release tension and find peace within themselves. Whether you're looking to reduce stress, enhance performance, or cultivate greater self-awareness, Performance Hypnosis has something to offer everyone.
What did the behind-the-scenes process look like for Performance Hypnosis? Did you write your own words, and who helped you put together the calming background music?
I carefully crafted each track in the Performance Hypnosis series using a personalized approach for each track’s area of focus. Each word was chosen to effectively engage and stimulate the listener’s subconscious mind for optimal impact. This involved selecting words and phrases that not only convey clear messages but also trigger deep cognitive and emotional responses conducive to learning and personal development.
To enhance the hypnotic effect of the spoken words, I engaged in extensive research to find compositions crafted to target specific brainwave states associated with creativity, meditation, and deep relaxation. This background music features binaural beats, a soundwave therapy technique where two slightly different frequency tones are played in each ear, processed by the brain as a single tone. This auditory illusion influences brainwave patterns, promoting relaxation, focus, and deeper subconscious access. I collaborated with sound engineers specialized in creating therapeutic audio environments, whose expertise ensured that the audio quality and effectiveness of the binaural beats were maintained at optimal levels.
Which track from the Performance Hypnosis series do you feel is the most impactful, and why? Which track stands out to you in that regard?
Each track has its own powerful intention and purpose behind it, with the "Focus." track being one of my favorites. In today's hyper-connected, distracted, phone-obsessed society, harnessing your focus is crucial. Specifically engineered to enhance focus and facilitate peak performance, this track greatly impacts individuals across various fields. In a world that never slows down, filled with constant notifications and multitasking, the profound purpose and impact of the Focus track are essential for navigating life and being fully present. Ultimately, cultivating focus is the key to living a fulfilling, balanced life. It allows us to create and cherish memorable experiences that truly matter.
The “Focus” track guides listeners into a profound state of concentrated focus, free from external and internal distractions. The track uses soothing sounds paired with targeted guided suggestions that encourage the subconscious mind to absorb positive affirmations, effectively rewiring the brain's neural pathways for enhanced concentration and mental clarity. Ideal for students, professionals, athletes, and creatives, the "Focus" track is designed to unlock a listener’s untapped potential, enabling more precise and efficient task completion. This makes it an essential tool for anyone looking to elevate their productivity and achieve peak performance.
What do you hope listeners feel or take away after hearing Performance Hypnosis? What was your ultimate goal with this project?
My goal with Performance Hypnosis is to empower listeners to transform their lives from within. After experiencing these sessions, I hope listeners feel a profound sense of inner peace, clarity, and empowerment. I want them to recognize the incredible potential within their minds and realize that they have the power to create positive change in their lives.
I want listeners to walk away with renewed confidence, resilience, and self-belief. Whether they seek to reduce stress, enhance performance, overcome obstacles, or achieve personal growth, I aim for Performance Hypnosis to serve as a catalyst for their success.
Performance Hypnosis is not just about relaxation or temporary relief from stress; it's about tapping into the limitless potential of the human mind and unlocking the keys to personal transformation. After experiencing performance hypnosis, I desire that listeners feel inspired, empowered, and ready to embark on their own journey of self-discovery and growth.
