"Before we begin this, you should find a place to recline, and you might want to bring a blanket, as this stuff causes your brain to work hard, which increases blood flow to the brain, and might cause your extremities to get cold. It is better to think ahead and be prepared than to have to be distracted later. Now, I want you to tension and move all of your muscle groups so you can feel electricity in your muscles. Move all of your toes, then move your ankles, then flex your knees, then flex at your hips. Take a deep breath and exhale anytime you want. At any time you hear me refer to taking a deep breath, exhale anytime you want. Now, rotate your neck. Now blink your eyes. Now roll your eyes. Now rotate your shoulders. Now flex your elbows. Now rotate your wrists. Now move all your fingers. You have just tensioned most muscles in the body and now you can actually feel your muscles relaxing. This is a feeling you can clearly understand. I want you to go with the flow of electrical energy, flowing out of your muscles. Now, let's begin. Please close your eyes.
I am going to count from ten to one, and as I am counting, I want you to concentrate on becoming more comfortable and more relaxed. If at any moment, you feel like coughing, laughing, passing gas, scratching or moving in any way so that you are more comfortable than you are, do it. As in life, if something is bothering you, fix it, and it will immediately go away and stop bothering you.
Ten, just concentrate on relaxing your feet. Let all the muscles in your feet feel really comfortable. Let all the muscles in your toes feel very loose and limp; very relaxed. And this wonderful wave of relaxing pleasure runs all the way down your ankles, past your heels, all the way down to your toes.
Nine, just relax your leg muscles, knees, thighs, and shins. No longer worry about your feet. Just let all of the muscles in your legs get very loose and limp; very comfortable and very, very relaxed. Very relaxed. Let your thigh muscles relax. Let all the muscles in your shins get very loose. And this wonderful wave of relaxing pleasure runs down your legs, past your knees, past your ankles, all the way down to your toes. Very relaxed, and very, very comfortable.
At eight, relax your neck, back, chest and stomach muscles. Take a deep breath...and as you exhale, feel how your body naturally relaxes. Its a good feeling. Let all the muscles in your neck feel really loose. Let your stomach muscles feel very relaxed. And this wonderful wave of relaxing pleasure splashes onto your neck, then runs down your back, past your chest, past your waist, past your knees, past your ankles, all the way down to your toes. Very relaxed, and very, very comfortable.
Seven. Now relax your arms, hands, and all your fingers. Let all the muscles in your fingers relax. If something is bothering you, fix it and become more comfortable. If something should happen that is life threatening, you will immediately awaken, feeling awake, alert, and concerned, and you will do all you can to fix any such problem so that it cannot harm you or the people for whom you care. However, as all is safe, now let all the muscles in your arms feel really comfortable. And this wonderful wave of relaxing pleasure comes in from your fingertips, pushing all of the stress and fatigue out of your body. It feels so good. It comes up your arms, splashing on your neck, running down your back, down your legs, all the way down to your toes. Very relaxed and very, very comfortable.
Six. You might feel like you are awake, that you are not hypnotised, but somehow, you are very relaxed and just don't feel like moving. This is what hypnosis actually feels like. Don't worry about it. You might feel like there are millions of cotton balls gently pressing down all over your body. If you feel this, it is gravity. Don't worry about it. Instead, I want you to imagine that you're floating down on a cloud. The farther down you float, the more relaxed you get. The more relaxed you get, the better you feel, and the better you feel causes you to float down even more. Always getting more relaxed. Always feeling better. Always floating farther and farther down.
Five. Your feet and your legs feel great, just the way they are. Take a really deep breath.
Four. As you exhale, relax. Your neck, back, chest, and stomach muscles feel really good. Your arms, hands and your fingers feel just fine, just the way they are.
Three. And you are floating even farther down, always more relaxed. The more relaxed you get, the better you feel, and now you are feeling really good.
Two. And you will remember everything you need to remember. To forget means you know something and then have to black the thought out. On the other hand, it is so easy to not remember some things. We will try to remember things you have had to forget, and if need be, make them so that you just don't remember them. Take a deep breath...and relax......
