psychiatrists, who don't want to scare
anyone telling them they use hypnosis, use this wonderful technique. Let's begin!
Every time you see (PAUSE), hold your silence around three seconds and then
continue.
The following induction script is what you say:
Close your eyes and listen to my voice. (PAUSE)
I am going to give you suggestions that will assist you in relaxing deeply all night
long. Tomorrow, when you awaken, you will feel full of energy (PAUSE)
Each time that we practice these techniques, you will find you are going deeper
and deeper and enjoying the hypnotic experience more and more. (PAUSE)
I am going to count slowly from five down to one. With every count I want you to
take a long, slow deep breath. As you inhale, breathe in the refreshing air.
(PAUSE)
As you exhale, push all of the tension of the day, out of your lungs and out of
your body. (PAUSE)
You will feel good, you will feel fine, you will feel perfectly relaxed. (PAUSE)
Even though I am giving the suggestions, you will be always in control. Your
mind will be alive, alert and your body will be relaxing, totally, relaxing. (PAUSE)
Okay, five (PAUSE)
Four (PAUSE)
Three (PAUSE)
Relaxing more with each and every deep breath that you take (PAUSE)
Two (PAUSE)
One, now you are totally relaxed. Your mind is alert and aware and concentrating
on my voice. (PAUSE)
Continue breathing deeply and comfortably all night long. It feels so good to relax
deeply this way. (PAUSE)
Now focus all of your attention on relaxing the muscles of your forehead. Picture
the muscles of your forehead going limp, as if they were a group of loose rubber
bands. (PAUSE)
If feels so good to relax these muscles. (PAUSE)
Keep breathing comfortably and think about relaxing the muscles of your face.
(PAUSE)
Again, picture the muscles of your face letting go at your command. (PAUSE)
Relax your jaw muscles. Your lips may part and your jaw may drop a little in
order to assist in relaxing the jaw muscles. (PAUSE)
Think about it happening, allow it to happen, and it will happen. (PAUSE)
Now your forehead is relaxed, your face is relaxed and your jaws are relaxed
(PAUSE)
Continue breathing comfortably, pushing any tension out of your lungs as you
exhale. (PAUSE)
Think about relaxing the muscles of your neck. As you relax the muscles of your
neck you may begin to have an urge to swallow. (PAUSE)
Swallow when you need to and this will assist you in relaxing even deeper.
(PAUSE)
You are relaxing deeper and sounder then ever before. (PAUSE)
Now picture in your mind that you are relaxing the muscles in your chest. Picture
all of those muscles going loose, limp and totally relaxed. (PAUSE)
You are breathing comfortably and relaxing deeply. (PAUSE)
Soon you will become very tired and will fall deeply asleep. You will sleep deeply,
all night long. (PAUSE)
You will wake up tomorrow feeling wide, awake, alert and looking forward to a
brand new day. (PAUSE)
Each and every deep breath that you take is sending you deep asleep. (PAUSE)
Each and every sound that you hear is sending you deeply asleep. (PAUSE)
Nothing will disturb you, just concentrate on the sound of my voice. (PAUSE)
Each and every time during these exercises that I suggest sleep or relaxation to
you, your relaxation will grow deeper and sounder than ever before. (PAUSE)
You are relaxing soundly and perfectly. (PAUSE)
Now focus your attention on relaxing the muscles of your shoulders and your
arms. (PAUSE)
Picture in your mind that your arms are limp dishrags. (PAUSE)
Allow your fingers and hands to lie relaxed on your bed. (PAUSE)
Feel the relaxation growing in your arms and hands. It feels so good to allow your
body to relax this deeply. (PAUSE)
Now think about relaxing all the muscles of your stomach and your back. Picture
the muscles as they let go at your command. (PAUSE)
Each and every deep breath that you take is allowing you to go deeper and
deeper. (PAUSE)
Each and every sound that you hear is allowing you to go deeper and deeper.
(PAUSE)
Nothing will disturb you, just listen to the sound of my voice. (PAUSE)
Each and every time I suggest sleep or relaxation to you during these nighttime
exercises you will go deeper and sounder then ever before.
Now that your chest, arms, and stomach are relaxed, concentrate on relaxing all
of muscles of your legs and feet. (PAUSE)
Picture your legs relaxing deeply. (PAUSE) Imagine your leg muscles as a group
of large, loose rubber bands. Picture those rubber bands going loose, limp and
relaxed at your command. (PAUSE)
Allow this wave of relaxation to go all the way down your legs to your feet.
(PAUSE)
Feel your feet relaxing now. Allow all of the muscles in your feet a sense of deep,
perfect, relaxation. (PAUSE) Picture all of those muscles going loose, limp and
