Quick Induction from HypnoticHart's blog
I want you to SLEEP!
Actually, I want you to drop so deeply into hypnosis that the next time I tell you to SLEEP!...
...that you drop so deeply into hypnosis that you've forgotten you've been hypnotised before...
...but your subconscious knows that you have...
...and wants to comment on this post with the word 'open'...
...so that I know you are open to my suggestions...
...and are excited about reading and liking all my other stories and posts...
...but for now you can simply allow yourself to relax as you read my words...
...because I'm not a fan of progressive relaxation inductions...
...so you're unlikely to read about how important it is for you to take three deep breaths now...
...or how you can already imagine a light enveloping you...
...as your scalp begins to relax...
...your forehead loosens...
...and your mind softens...
...open to my suggestions...
...obeying my will.
That all happens naturally...
...as you already know...
...given how many times you've been hypnotised before...
...especially the times you don't even recall being hypnotised.
Imagine one of those times now.
And as you allow yourself to be as lazy as you want to be...
...effortlessly reading my words...
...and while you’re reading the words that I write...
...concentrating for a few moments on your breathing...
...breathing slowly and steadily, just as though you were sound asleep, or pretending to be sound asleep..
...and imagining, perhaps, just how comfortable you might look while you’re relaxing there in the chair...
...using the power of your mind to see yourself in your mind’s eye...
...and then using the power of your mind to do whatever has to happen to make you look even more relaxed...
...and still thinking about your breathing, making quite sure that each breath in lasts the same length of time as the last breath in...
...and each breath out lasts the same length of time as the last breath out...
...even though each breath in will probably be slightly shorter than each breath out...
...and while you’re thinking about your breathing, noticing, perhaps, the weight of your body against the chair...
...and still reading intently the words that I write.
And while you’re reading intently the words that I write it may be that you’ll become aware that you’ve forgotten to think about your breathing...
...but that’s all right, you can just simply start thinking about your breathing again while you’re reading intently the words that I write and what I’m saying to you here...
...and in psychology, there’s a rule called...
...seven plus or minus two...
...and that means that most people can think of seven things all at once...
...plus or minus two...
...so you should be able to think of at least five things all at the same time...
...the words that I write...
...the steadiness of your breathing...
...the weight of your body in the chair...
...and how you might look from the outside...
...and that’s four things...
...so you can think of those four things while you’re noticing how aroused hypnosis makes you feel...
...so that’s five things, now...
...and I wonder if you can think about those five things and then at the same time notice the way your feet feel on the floor...
...and perhaps how your arms feel...
...and that’s seven things now...
...the words that I write...
...the weight of your body in the chair...
...the arousal of hypnosis...
...the way you look while you’re relaxing...
...and your breathing...
...and your arms...
...and your feet on the floor...
...and I wonder if you can now add an eighth thing into all of that...
...I wonder if your mind is powerful enough to think of seven plus one things...
...adding in, perhaps, an awareness of the temperature of the room...
...and then just testing to see whether you can add yet another input to your senses...
...so that you’re thinking of NINE things all at once...
...that’s seven plus two...
...thinking about all those eight inputs to your senses and then maybe adding an awareness of the way your eyes feel while you’re thinking about all those other things...
...the weight of your body...
...your breathing...
...the arousal of hypnosis...
...how you look from the outside...
...the temperature of the room...
...your feet on the floor...
...your arms...
...the words that I write...
...and how your eyes feel.
The weight of your body...
...your breathing...
...the arousal of hypnosis...
...how you look from the outside...
...the temperature of the room...
...your feet on the floor...
...your arms...
...the words that I write...
...and how your eyes feel...
...and of course, when anybody thinks of all these things, what they are really doing is scanning round them one after the other...
...very quickly...
...so quickly, it feels as if you’re thinking of them all at once...
...and in the world of computers, that would be called timesharing...
...sharing your available resources between the different tasks you are attempting to perform all at once...
...and that’s why some people can think of only five things...
...because it’s the limit of their memory...
...while others can actually think of nine things…
...and I wonder how well your memory is working as you struggle to remember those nine things...
...the weight of your body...
...your breathing...
...the arousal of hypnosis...
...how you look from the outside...
...the temperature of the room...
...your feet on the floor...
...your arms...
...the words that I write...
...and how your eyes feel.
And now you can think how good it will feel...
...when you simply allow yourself to think of only the most important thing of all...
...concentrating all your energies onto that one most important thing of all...
...which is going to be so easy to think of, now that you are going to allow yourself to think of only one thing instead of nine...
...and that one thing is how good it feels to think of only one thing...
...thinking how relaxed you can be now...
...that you’re only thinking of how relaxed you might like to be...
...relaxing in your mind...
...and in your body...
...no need to think about anything at all, really...
...no need to do anything...
...nobody wanting anything and nobody expecting anything...
...and absolutely nothing whatsoever for you to do except...
SLEEP!
