Nonanalytical Induction Process and Template
The nonanalytical template can be used in the same way as the analytical session. When reading the nonanalytical session, recite it very slowly. The key to a nonanalytical session (in addition to using your imagination) is to relax.
Close your eyes … take a deep breath … take a second deep breath, as deep as you can … and on your third deep breath hold it for about three seconds … and exhale and relax … with each breath that you take, allow yourself to relax deeper and deeper …
I'm going to have you relax each part of your body, starting from the top of your head going all the way down to the bottom of your feet … and as I mention each part, just allow everything to let go … starting with the top of your head … your scalp and your forehead … let go of all the tension and stress … your eyebrows … your eyelids … feel that relaxation going down through your cheeks and your nose … relax all the muscles around your mouth and lips … relax your chin and jaw … and allow all those muscles in your face to just relax and let go … feel that relaxation going down into your neck and shoulders … get rid of any tension that might be in your shoulder area … it should feel good to do that … relax your arms … all the way down to your hands and fingertips … just let go … let go completely … and notice how deep your breathing has become … so much more relaxed than just a few moments ago … and as you breathe in deeply and exhale slowly … allow all the muscles in your chest to just relax … all the way down to your stomach, get rid of any tension that might be in your stomach area … down to your hips … just let go completely … and your legs relax … your thighs … your knees … relax your calves and your ankles … feel that relaxation going down into your feet … and even your toes just relax completely … as you drift down deeper into a very relaxed state …
In just a moment I'm going to count from twenty down to one … And as I say each number, I'd like you to imagine the number, think about it, and quietly spell the number to yourself, which will help you to deepen your own relaxation allowing you to relax at your own pace.
So let's begin with 20 as you spell it … t-w-e-n-t-y … 19 … n-i-n-e-t-e-e-n … 18 … all the way down deep … 17 … 16 … deeper and deeper … 15 … keep on spelling the numbers to yourself quietly … 14 … just let yourself go … 13 … 12 … give yourself the permission that this is what you want to do … 11 … 10 … allow yourself to just let go … 9 … 8 … deeper and deeper … 7 … 6 … all the way down deep … 5 … 4 … tired and drowsy … 3 … 2 … so very relaxed … and finally … 1 … deep … deep … relaxation.
In just a moment I will count to five, and at the count of five you will open your eyes feeing wonderful and refreshed …
One … You are starting to emerge from hypnosis
Two … Feeling so wonderful
Three … Your mind is clear and alert
Four … Your eyes are starting to open … and
Five … Eyes wide open and feeling fine.
A good technique to use to ensure that you are pausing long enough between each number is to take a deep breath before moving on. Even though it may seem like an extremely long time, you will realize once you are listening to it in a hypnotic state that it is not. You may even want to go back and record it even slower the next time.
Close your eyes … take a deep breath … take a second deep breath, as deep as you can … and on your third deep breath hold it for about three seconds … and exhale and relax … with each breath that you take, allow yourself to relax deeper and deeper …
Now I'd like you to imagine yourself resting comfortably in your chair … that's right … just allow the chair to support you, settling down easily, with your arms resting at your sides or gently on your lap; head and neck in a comfortable upright position … Very good … and now that you are very comfortable, I'd like you to become aware of your breathing … Feel the coolness of your breath as it enters your nostrils, noticing your chest as it rises and falls … rises and falls, in an easy and natural rhythm … your own perfect and natural rhythm … just breathing in … and out … in … and out … Just allow your awareness to focus on your breath … Just allow your awareness to remain focused on your breath as you allow it to quiet and deepen your relaxation … deeper and deeper … and begin to notice that, as you allow yourself to become more and more relaxed, it is easy and natural … You do not need to make any conscious effort to breathe. Your marvelous subconscious mind is taking care of your breathing, from the moment of your birth throughout your life, for as long as you live … And just as your subconscious mind is the guardian of your breath and all your bodily functions, it is also the creator of your dreams and the champion of your highest aspirations … always supporting you, protecting you, and working for your greatest good … Knowing this, you can relax even more deeply with each and every breath that you take … from this point onward you can allow yourself to simply rest as you breathe … rest and relax … rest and relax … deeper and deeper … knowing that the more you relax, the deeper you go, and the deeper you go, the more you can relax, allowing your subconscious mind, with all its awesome power, to work on your behalf, to easily and effortlessly understand and receive every positive suggestion, and allow it to become a part of you for as long as it is of use to you …
In just a moment I will count to five, and at the count of five you will open your eyes feeing wonderful and refreshed …
One … You are starting to emerge from hypnosis
Two … Feeling so wonderful
Three … Your mind is clear and alert
Four … Your eyes are starting to open … and
