- Take a deep breath and relax into the surface beneath
- you as you exhale. As I guide you through this
- progressive relaxation process, you can allow yourself
- to enter a state of Hypnosis that will help you achieve
- the therapeutic outcomes we discussed. Begin by paying
- attention to your toes, tense and release them, enjoy
- how you can let them feel comfortable. Move your
- attention to all of your foot, the delicate bones, the
- skin, the muscles, and let them all feel very good.
- Take your time, you are doing well; let your
- imagination become even more absorbed in your doing
- something good for yourself. As you do so, you not
- only relax but move into a therapeutic state of
- Hypnosis.
- Let all your muscles relax, relax them completely,
- moving up from your feet to your legs. Let the
- muscles be loose and limp. Relax them all. Now your
- thighs, and your hips. Let them relax. Your stomach
- and abdominal muscles, now can relax too. Let those
- muscle relax. Your shoulders, your arms, and your
- hands. Relax them. Now your neck. Let it relax. Do
- not mind if your head bows forward or to the side. It
- will be perfectly comfortable. Your facial muscles
- can relax, and particularly the eye muscles and the
- lids. Relax now, completely. Every muscle in your body
- will relax, and as you become more relaxed you become
- even more absorbed in the experience of Hypnosis.
