SELF HYPNOSIS LESSON 2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Model Induction Talk If after repeated attempts to self-induce an altered state of consciousness you have not yet been successful, then, on tape or cassette, using another's voice or your own, make a recording of the following induction talk. When recording, speak slowly and distinctly in a soothing voice, remembering to pause at the end of lines, between dots, and between paragraphs. Once you have recorded the induction talk, you can play it for yourself whenever you want to enter an altered state of consciousness. The recording will help your mind to develop a pattern for reaching altered states. Each time you use the talk you will be able to enter into a deeper state. In a short time, you will have learned how to enter your altered states and will no longer need to use your induction recording. Let your eyelids grow heavy easily, very naturally, growing heavier and heavier as they have before... Feel your whole body beginning to grow very relaxed now, just growing deeper, deeper, and deeper relaxed... Deeper...and deeper...and deeper... Your eyelids heavier... and heavier...and heavier... The entire body relaxing now, mentally and physically, from the top of the head all the way down to the very tips of the toes just growing deeper...and deeper... Relaxed...and more relaxed... Deeper...and deeper...and deeper. I am going to count slowly from ten to zero now, and as I count backwards, you will feel yourself going into a still deeper trance; and by the time I reach zero, you will be much deeper than you are now, very deeply, very pleasantly relaxed, and in a very deep trance. (10,9,8,7,6,5,...) Deeper and deeper and deeper, still deeper... very deeply now... The entire body relaxing, from head to toe, completely, as you continue to go deeper and deeper, deeper...and deeper relaxed... very deeply now. And you can continue to go still more deeply with each passing moment, completely at ease, deeply relaxed, deeper...and deeper...and deeper... Deeper...and deeper... End of file.
