You can close your eyes now …
And begin breathing deeply and slowly …
Before you let go completely, and go into a deep hypnotic state, just let yourself listen carefully to everything I say to you …
It’s going to happen automatically …
So you don’t need to think about that now …
And you will have no conscious control over what happens …
The muscles in and around your eyes will relax all by themselves as you continue breathing …
Easily and freely …
Without thinking about it, you will soon enter a deep, peaceful, hypnotic trance, without any effort …
There is nothing important for your conscious mind to do …
There is nothing really important except the activities of your subconscious mind …
And that can be just as automatic as dreaming …
And you know how easily you can forget your dreams when you awaken …
You are responding very good. Without noticing it, you have already altered your rate of breathing …
You are breathing much more easily and freely …
And you are revealing signs that indicate you are beginning to drift into a hypnotic trance …
You can really enjoy relaxing more and more, and your subconscious mind will listen to each word I say …
And it keeps becoming less important for you to consciously listen to my voice …
Your subconscious mind can hear even if I whisper …
You are continuing to drift into a more detached state as you examine privately in your own mind …
Secrets, feelings, sensations, and behavior you didn’t know you had …
At the same time, letting go completely …
Your own mind is solving that problem …
At your own pace …
Just as rapidly as it feels you are ready …
You continue becoming more relaxed and comfortable as you sit there with your eyes closed …
As you experience that deepening comfort you don’t have to move, or talk, or let anything bother you …
Your own inner mind can respond automatically to everything I tell you …
and you will be pleasantly surprised with your continuous progress…
You are getting much closer to a deep hypnotic trance …
And you are beginning to realize that you don’t care whether or not you are going into a deep trance …
Being in this peaceful state enables you to experience the comfort of the hypnotic trance…
Being hypnotized is always a very enjoyable, very pleasant, calm, peaceful, completely relaxing experience …
It seems natural … to include hypnosis in your future …
Every time I hypnotize you it keeps becoming more enjoyable, and you continue experiencing more benefits …
So you will really enjoy having me hypnotize you …
You will always enjoy the sensations …
Of comfort …
Of peacefulness …
Of calmness …
And all the other sensations that come automatically from this wonderful experience …
You will be really happy that you decided to have me hypnotize you …
As you continue experiencing progressive understanding on your part …
You are learning something about yourself …
You are developing your own techniques of therapy …
Without knowing you are developing them …
You can have it as a surprise sooner or later …
A very pleasant surprise …
Imagine yourself in a place you like very much …
By a lake, or by the ocean …
Perhaps you are floating gently on a sailboat on a peaceful lake …
On a warm, summer day …
You are continuing to relax even more now …
And you continue becoming more comfortable …
This is your own world that you like very much …
You are going to find that any time you want to spend a few minutes by yourself, relaxing, and feeling very comfortable and serene, you can automatically go back to this feeling you’re experiencing now …
You can put yourself into this world anytime you like …
There are times when you will want this serene feeling …
And it is yours whenever you want it …
Continue enjoying this pleasant experience as your subconscious mind is receiving everything I tell you …
And you will be pleased the way you automatically respond to everything I say.
