  6. to enter a state of Hypnosis that will help you achieve
  7. the therapeutic outcomes we discussed. Begin by paying
  8. attention to your toes, tense and release them, enjoy
  9. how you can let them feel comfortable. Move your
  10. attention to all of your foot, the delicate bones, the
  11. skin, the muscles, and let them all feel very good.
  12. Take your time, you are doing well; let your
  13. imagination become even more absorbed in your doing
  14. something good for yourself. As you do so, you not
  15. only relax but move into a therapeutic state of
  16. Hypnosis.
  17. Let all your muscles relax, relax them completely,
  18. moving up from your feet to your legs. Let the
  19. muscles be loose and limp. Relax them all. Now your
  20. thighs, and your hips. Let them relax. Your stomach
  21. and abdominal muscles, now can relax too. Let those
  22. muscle relax. Your shoulders, your arms, and your
  23. hands. Relax them. Now your neck. Let it relax. Do
  24. not mind if your head bows forward or to the side. It
  25. will be perfectly comfortable. Your facial muscles
  26. can relax, and particularly the eye muscles and the
  27. lids. Relax now, completely. Every muscle in your body
  28. will relax, and as you become more relaxed you become
  29. even more absorbed in the experience of Hypnosis.
