Hypnosis can be brought about in many ways.

The "progressive
relaxation"
induction makes use of the increased suggestibility of a relaxing
subject. The more rapid methods of induction, however, make use
of different techniques, such as shock, confusion or interruption.
By the way, the instant induction falls into the Rapid category. I
believe there is a distinction though; rapid inductions are best
used in therapeutic situations and can take anywhere from 10
seconds to 4 minutes. The instant induction is more for stage
hypnosis, demonstrations, and parties. You can take someone
into a deep trance in one or two seconds.


A word of warning; the success of the instant induction is
dependent on a number of things; firstly, the suggestibility of the
subject. Some subjects are what we call somnambulistic, this
simply means that they are capable of reaching very deep levels
of trance and usually very quickly. Secondly, is the subjects belief
in the ability of the hypnotist; this is a very important thing to
remember as you begin to induce the trance state. If a subject
doubts your ability then they are not very likely to go into trance.
Thats why you are best advised to stick with the "progressive
relaxation" induction process until you have managed to make a
name for yourself and people actually know that you have the
ability to hypnotize somebody. However, you can overcome this
by creating "hype" for yourself.

In the early days hype before a hypnotic show would begin to
appear weeks and sometimes months before the show with
daunting posters billed all over town showing the hypnotist glaring
down with piercing eyes. The caption would usually challenge,
"Dare you look into his eyes and not obey his every command?"
This method of creating hype proved very successful in the early
days and as the show grew closer, excitement would build and
people would dare one another to be put under the hypnotists
spell.

Then, on the night of the show, everybody would be seated in the
theatre and, as the lights went down, a mixture of fear and
excitement would engulf the audience. Suddenly, in the eerie
silence a single spotlight would appear at the edge of the stage.

The hypnotist would stride to the centre of the stage and turn to
the audience. With arms outstretched the hypnotist would sweep
the entire theatre, electrifying the onlookers with his power. The
hypnotist would stand on the stage dominating the whole of the
audience with his intimidating glare. He would stand tall and
dressed from head to toe in mysterious black; his menacing face
would come to a point at his chin as his 'goatee' style beard
echoed that of the devil. His hair slicked back ready for business
allowed full access to those piercing eyes and as he passed his
hands back over the audience an explosive whisper could be
heard throughout the whole theatre. "He's doing something to me,
he's doing something to me." would be the cry of the vulnerable,
and as the hypnotist preyed on his reluctant, but brave, victims the
fear of what was about to be was nearly enough in itself to
produce trance in even the least suggestible of people!

This method of creating hype worked wonders for the hypnotist of
its time. However, such a demonstration would be useless today.
People are beginning to accept that hypnosis is a natural
phenomenon now and, probably due to television coverage,
people are becoming more knowledgeable about the whole
subject. This is not a problem for the hypnotist as the fact that
hypnosis is commonly used in the medical profession gives the
whole subject more credibility, so the need for hype is not so
important. If you are (or want to be) a stage hypnotist all you need
is confidence and flyers.

Do not follow the induction techniques if you suffer from epilepsy
or clinical depression. The induction processes used in this
publication are not suitable for medical or psychiatric treatment.


FOREWORD

Principles of Rapid Inductions

Rapid inductions are one of the most popular subjects in
hypnosis. People are fascinated by the idea that you can
hypnotize someone and reach deep levels of trance in instant.

There are a number of factors that go into a successful rapid or
instant induction. I've broken them down for you below.

Permission/Commitment

Rapid inductions will work with a much higher percentage of
people if you get their permission and commitment first. There's
an easy way to get this permission and commitment; you simply
ask
for it! Here are some examples of how to ask for permission and
get that commitment: "Are you willing to be hypnotized?" "Will
you instantaneously follow my instructions?" If you get anything
less than a fully congruent "yes," question them further to make
sure they are truly willing. If they are not, move on to someone
else.

The Pre-Induction Talk

One thing that can interfere with instant inductions is fear. If
the client doesn't want to go into trance because they're afraid,
they will resist you every step of the way. If you're working with
someone who has not yet experienced formal hypnosis, do a full
pre-induction talk. If you are working with someone who has
experienced hypnosis and is willing to experience it again, just
go over the main points briefly.

Expectation

The more a person expects instantaneous hypnosis to happen,
the
more likely it will be to happen. Part of building a sense of
expectation is explaining clearly what is going to happen. "I'm
going to shake your hand three times. When I shake your hand for

the third time, close your eyes, let your head fall forward, and
go into a deep, deep state of powerful relaxation." By clearly
explaining what the client is to do, you help to create images in
the mind's eye of the subject. These images help build the
expectation of the subject.

If at all possible, give the subject a demonstration of what is going
to happen. If you're working as a hypnotherapist in an
office and plan to use rapid inductions as part of your clinical
practice, make a videotape of yourself hypnotizing several people
with rapid methods. Set it up as a tape loop in your waiting room
(If you have one) and let them watch it as they come in the door.
If you're working with a group of subjects, do some
suggestibility tests to pick out the fastest responding subjects,
and do rapid inductions with those highly responsive subjects
first. By working with a highly responsive subjects first, you'll
build the expectations of others.

The more confident you are with the techniques of rapid
inductions, the better they will work. If the subject has the
sense that you know what you're doing, it will go a long way
toward your inductions being successful.

Ritual

There is always some ritual involved in instant or rapid
inductions (or any induction for that matter). In general terms,
the ritual is a very simple linkage. "When x happens you go
instantaneously into a deep trance." You link some event, to the
subject going instantaneously into a trance. It doesn't really
matter what the event is (with the exception of the
disorientation induction below).

INTRODUCTION

Disorientation

Human beings have a powerful ability to react quickly. When
something unexpectedly comes toward your face, you don't have
to
think about blinking, it just happens. The conscious mind is too
slow to react quickly enough to emergency events. The
unconscious
mind has powerful survival and protective programs built in.
These programs kick in whenever the unconscious mind thinks
they
need to. One of the side effects of the unconscious programming
kicking in is that the conscious mind gets set aside, usually for
just a brief instant.

For this instant, the unconscious mind is particularly receptive
to suggestion.

One of the fastest ways to get these unconscious programs to kick
in and the conscious mind to take a hike is to put a person
slightly off balance for a moment. The instant we lose our
orientation our unconscious mind takes over. This can be true
mentally as well is physically. If we disorient someone mentally
and then offer suggestions that lead toward trance it is called a
"confusion induction." The physical version is much faster.

Most of the instantaneous inductions involve some slight physical
disorientation. Usually that is achieved by a slight tug on the
arm or on the back of the neck.

Caution: do not use these techniques on anyone who has had any
kind of back, neck or musculoskeletal problem. Furthermore, I am
not talking about some huge jerk of the arm or neck. We're
talking about just enough of a tug to get the person off-balance.
Use your judgment! If you have any doubt as to whether you
might
harm someone, use another method.

In the second or so that the person is disoriented, you need to

instruct them. "Sleep" is a word that usually gets the idea
across.

Keeping It Going

You'll want to continue delivering suggestions, rapid-fire, in
order to keep the process going. Left to themselves, people will
usually reorient within a few seconds. In order to prevent that,
immediately give instructions about relaxing and going deeper
etc. "Sleep. Relaxing fully and completely. Let your muscles grow
loose and limp. Really let go." After three or four seconds of
rapid-fire suggestions you can slow down.


THE STEPS

This is one of my favorites. See if you can recognize the
Principles:


Spoken to the subject:

: "I'm going to shake your hand three times. The
first time I shake your hand concentrate on your eyes getting get
droopy, drowsy, and heavy. They will want to close, but don't
close them yet. The second time I shake your hand concentrate
on
your eyes getting heavier and drowsier and droopier - it will be
as if you're up way too late at night. They will blink slowly and
want to stay closed, but don't let them stay closed yet. The
third time I shake your hand, your eyes will close down and
they'll be so heavy you'll just allow them to stay closed. As
they close down, I'll say the word 'sleep' and you'll go into a
deep, wonderful state of relaxation."

As you shake their hand, repeat the instructions.

First handshake: "Droopy, drowsy and heavy - don't let them close
yet."
instantaneously.
Second handshake: "Heavier, and drowsier, and droopier - as if
you've been up way too late at night. (Subject blinks slowly)
That's right; don't let them stay closed yet."

Third handshake: "Your eyes can feel so heavy that you'll just
allow them to stay closed," (subject closes eyes).

At this point, pull the hand downward and forward and say "sleep"
firmly (in your best "ordering" tone of voice). Immediately give
further instructions. "Let your head fall forward on your chest,
relax deeply, really let go."

In this example we've used shaking the hand three times as the
ritual for going into trance. We've linked hand shaking with
trance by merely asking the subject to accept the idea. We, of

course, reinforce the idea with repetition.

The ritual doesn't have to be a handshake. It can be anything. It
could be drinking a glass of water, taking deep breaths, or
anything your creative mind can come up with. Whatever it is, you
simply link the action or event to going into trance.


STEP ONE

When I use the term, Instant Inductions, I am talking about
inductions that take your clients into a deep state of hypnosis
instantly. This is what the professional use of hypnosis requires.
There are at least four parts to such an induction: 1) focus your
subjects attention, 2) instant redirection of focus (usually a
startling stimulus), 3) the word, sleep, and 4) instantly deepen
the hypnotic state or your client will emerge.

I use this next one often also. I picked it up from Cal Banyon. He
calls it "The 8 Word Induction:

1)Say "Press on my hand" Instruct the client to press down on the
therapists outstretched hand


While she is pressing down, have your client close her eyes,
giving the client two tasks to focus her attention on.


2)Say "Close your eyes" While the client is pressing down on the
therapists hand with her eyes closed, the therapists hand is
suddenly removed, creating the startle response which lasts for a
very short period of time, two seconds at the most. During the
instant your client is in a state of high suggestibility. Pull your
hand out and your subject's hand suddenly falls.

3) Instantly in a directive tone say, "Sleep! And as I gently rock
your head you go deeper..." The word, SLEEP, is said in an
authoritative tone and delivery, which instantly induces a deep
state of hypnosis. However, if this suggestion is not immediately
followed by further suggestions for deepening, your client will
emerge.

4) Short and simple suggestions for deepening, such as go limp
and relaxed, continuing to relax further with every breath. As I
gently rock your head, your neck relaxes and that feeling of
relaxation moves through your entire body.



In its shortest form, it is a powerful and reliable induction that can
consist of only 8 words, Press on my hand. Close your eyes
Sleep!

Certainly, more can be done to make the induction look more
dramatic (which is something you may want to do in a
demonstration or if you are doing stage hypnosis). But the beauty
of the instant induction is its sheer simple elegance, so I prefer to
keep it as short and simple as it can be. I firmly believe that the
shorter the induction is, the more reliable it will be, all other things
being equal.

Variations on this simple theme are endless, and once you
understand the four essential parts (focus, startle response,
sleep and deepening) you can go on to create your own
versions. The one weakness of the induction is that it does not
have a test for depth of hypnosis in it. This is why I recommend
that after the initial deepening has been performed, that you
borrow a procedure from the Dave Elman induction. Suggest that
the client now relax her mind, by counting and relaxing her mind
more and more with each number, until they have faded away to
nothing. When your client fades the numbers away, you have
guided your client into a hypnotic state equivalent (at least) to the
threshold of somnambulism or deeper. The losing of the numbers
is evidence of amnesia by suggestion, a well accepted test for the
threshold of somnambulism.

After achieving the threshold of somnambulism, I recommend that
you perform a simple deepening, like counting down from 1 to 5
with suggestion of going deeper. Do this and you will have her in
a wonderful state for doing even the most powerful hypnotic
techniques, such as hypnotic age regression (with true
revivification).

A few words of caution is in order. Because this instant induction
requires a hand drop which initially startles your client, you would
be ill-advised to use it on someone who is suffering from shoulder,
back neck problems or any client with a history of heart problems.
Also, this induction does require that you touch your client. Some
hypnotherapists prefer not to do so. And, in some rare occasions
a client may not be willing to give permission to be touched.

Although in my experience, most clients are willing to be touched
on the hand, arm, shoulder and forehead as part of a hypnosis
session. If the laws where you practice do not allow you to touch
your clients, then you would be unable to use this induction
method.

Remember, conducting a good pre-talk with your clients is an
essential part of the hypnosis process. This is especially true
when using instant inductions. Your clients must understand that
hypnosis is safe and natural. They must also understand that it is
important to follow your instructions.

Consider adding instant inductions to your practice. They are
simple, effective and highly reliable. I believe that they always
work! Isnt that what you have always wanted out of a hypnotic
induction anyway?


STEP TWO

Now that we have firm evidence that the Anteriot Cingulate Gyrus
is the area of the brain most involved in producing the hypnotic
trance state,
the induction of hypnosis can be made quickly by asking clients to
close their eyes, imagine the colour yellow all over the visual field,
change it to red,
and at the same time imagine that the whole body has
disappeared. Within moments, the person is in a deep trance.
(Any colour change will do).

No spirals, waving key chains, or long inductions. I'm starting to
use this technique, and am amazed at how quickly people are
trance induced.
The reason is, that the ACG is central to the hypnotic state, and is
also the central area for analysing perceptions. By getting this
area to work
on a task, such as changing the perception of imagined colour,
and at the same time suggesting that body image perception is
turned off, the client's ACG is
stimulated and the trance induced. Fractionation can turn the ACG
response off and on thereby deepening the trance by training the
ACG to change status rapidly.

Experimentation with brain scans using MRI are proceeding, but
the work is expensive. At last there is a neurological explanation
for hypnosis, and hypnotists can leave all the psychic mumbo-
jumbo behind. There should no longer be religious or spiritual
objections to hypnosis. It has nothing to do with demonology or
psychic phenomenon. It is purely a state of brain status and the
client is being taught how to achieve the hypnotic state by the
hypnotist, who is teaching the client to use self monitoring bio-
feedback to enter the trance. Suggestions given during the trance
are part of the skill that the practitioner must acquire to be an
effective therapist.

More information on the ACG is available on the web and in some
of the latest journals.



Without having tried it on others, I think I would ask people for
their favorite and least favourite color. Ask them to imagine their
least favorite color and then change it to their favourite color;
possibly easier to do and a nice metaphor for the changes that will
happen!


STEP THREE

Here's one that I like a lot. I don't rember where I picked it up, but,
it has Gill Boyne written all over it:

Instructions to hypnotist

Begin by having the subject hold their arms stretched out directly
in front of them, so that the palms of the hands are facing each
other. Have the hands about 6 inches apart.

Spoken to the subject

You may now lower your hands back to your side. In just a
moment I am going to have you bring your hands back to this
position, and you will find it very easy to go into a deep pleasant
level of hypnosis in just a matter of seconds. Would this be alright
with you? (You must have the subjects consent before proceeding
any further)

Now close your eyes, and take in a couple of deep easy breaths.
Hold each breath for a moment and then exhale slowly.

In just a moment I am going to have you extend your arms in front
of you, just as you had them a moment ago. When I ask you to
move your hands to this position I am then going to have you
open your eyes, and follow my simple instructions.

Remaining relaxed, and at ease, I want you to extend your arms
out in front of you just as you had them earlier.

(After subject extends their arms adjust the distance between the
hands to about six inches. Hold your index finger at eye level, and
instruct subject to follow the movement of your finger. Slowly
move your index finger between their hands)

Now I want you to concentrate on my finger. In just a moment I am
going to move my finger away, and I want you to begin to
concentrate on the spot where my finger was.

(Quickly move your finger in a downward motion)


You are doing good. Keep concentrating on the spot where my
finger used to be.

I am going to begin to count from 3 down to 1. On the count of one
allow your eyes to close.

Three, your eyes are feeling heavy, and tired.

Two, they are beginning to water, and tear slightly.

One, so heavy just allow them to close, and relax.

Even with your eyes closed you can still imagine that spot
between your hands.

I am now gently touching your hands, and as I do notice that your
hands are beginning to move together.

In just a moment your hands will touch. As they touch your entire
body will feel loose, and limp. You will be going into a very deep
hypnotic state. The hands are moving closer, and closer. The
moment that they touch the whole body becomes lose and limp.
You will be going into a very special kind of sleep. Almost there
get ready to let go. The moment that they touch you go into a very
deep special type of sleep.

(As the hands move together, have your hands in a position that
will allow you to lightly slap the outside of the subjects hands, and
thus pushing them together. You must be ready the moment that
the subjects hands touch. At the exact moment when the subjects
hands touch, rapidly, and firmly slap the two hands together while
giving the command to sleep. At the same moment lightly apply a
downward motion to the subjects hands. This will cause the
subject to bend at the waist. Allow the arms to dangle at the
subjects side)


" IN A MOMENT I'M GOING TO HYPNOTIZE YOU, IT WILL
TAKE LESS THAN A SECOND...."


STEP FOUR

(Two-Finger Technique)

Spoken to the subject:

"Rest your arms limply on your thighs, feet flat on floor. I want you
to look at my hand. In a moment I'm going to bring my hand up in
front of your eyes." (Demonstrate bringing index and middle finger
of right hand, in a pointing V position, to a position just above their
eyebrows.) "When I do, I'll pass my hand down in front of your
eyes. Keep your eyes fixed on my fingers. As I pass my hand
down, let your eyelids close." (Bring hand straight down, one
finger moving down over each eye.) "Close your eyelids down."

Now your eyelids are closed. I want you to relax every tiny
muscle and nerve in and around your eyelids. I want you to relax
them so much that they wouldn't work even if you wanted them
to."

"When you know that you've relaxed them so much they wouldn't
work even if you wanted them to test them." (7f they open their
eyes, tell them to relax them again, this time more completely and
test again. If they don 't open their eyes, pause three seconds and
continue.)

"All right, that's fine. Stop trying and just relax and go deeper. Now
I'm going to raise your right hand. I will do it by grasping your
thumb in my fingers." (Grasp thumb between thumb and index
finger.) "As I lift your hand, let it hang limply in my fingers, (Slightly
rock arm back and forth) then, when I drop it, let it drop like a wet,
limp rag. When your hand touches your body, send a wave or
relaxation from the top of your head down to the tips of your toes.
That will double your present level of relaxation."

(Lift hand, rocking it) "Let it hang loose and limp. When drop it. Let
it drop like a wet, limp rag. And as it touches your body, send a
wave of relaxation from the top of your head to the tip of your
toes." (Drop hand) "Double your current level of relaxation."


Now, I'm going to pick up your left hand. As I take your thumb,
just let it hang limply." (Slightly rock arm back and forth) "When I
drop it, let it drop like a wet, limp rag. When it touches your body,
send another wave of relaxation from the top of your head to the
tips of your toes and double your present level of relaxation."
(Drop hand)

Now, your body is relaxed and I'm going to show you how to relax
your mind. The next time I touch your forehead, I want you to
begin counting backward, slowly, from one hundred. With each
number you say, double your mental relaxation. After you have
counted just a few numbers your mind becomes so relaxed, you
find the rest of them relaxing out of your mind."

"All right, get ready." (Tap subject on forehead) "Begin counting."
(As they count down make appropriate comments... "Slowly now"
"Wonderful" "Double that relaxation" Now let them grow dim and
distant." "Let them relax right out of your mind." When they pause
say... "All gone?" not "Are the numbers gone?" this could call the
numbers back into focus. If they are still counting but are lethargic
say, "Let them all fade completely away."
(After subject has stopped counting, continue with a deepening
technique and test.)


STEP FIVE

Modified Dave Elman Induction
(This version Donald Robertson 2000)

This method of inducing hypnotic trance was developed by the
famous US hypnotist Dave Elman. It has gained popularity with
modern hypnotherapists because of its ability to create deep
trances, and test for responsiveness, extremely quickly and
reliably. The method generally consists of the following stages,
interspersed with direct suggestions of deepening relaxation:

1. Deep breath and eye closure.
2. Arm heaviness test (dropping arm to test for loss of muscle
tension).
2. Eye catalepsy test (suggestion that subject is unable to open
eyes).
3. "Fractionation" of trance by repeated eye closure.
4. "Losing the numbers", deepener for mental relaxation and test
for amnesia.
5. "Elevator deepener" (optional).



Elman Induction Script (Adapted)

J ust begin by making yourself comfortable. Rest your feet flat on
the floor and rest your hands on your lap, or by your side.



Now, rest your awareness on those eyelids once again. Even
though the eyelids are closed down comfortably already, imagine
they are closing down all over again, even more heavy and tired
and lazy than before. Now relax those eyelids right down to the
point where it feels as if they just don't work anymore. When you
know you've done that, make a test and find you've succeeded
and they feel as if they're sealing shut. Push harder against that
relaxation and find the harder you try to make the effort the more
lazy and tired and relaxed those eyelids are becoming right now.
Now stop trying, send a wave of relaxation right down into that

part of you that was trying to make the effort. You're eyelids aren't
really sealed shut, it just feels as if they are. That's a good sign,
you're relaxing very deeply.

Now, I'm going to help you to relax even more deeply, and those
is how I'm going to do it. In a moment I'll count 1, 2, 3, when I
reach the number three you can open your eyes for a second
before I gesture and say the word "sleep." When I say the word
"sleep", just allow your eyelids to close down and find you're going
back, even deeper into hypnosis than before. Beginning now, 1, 2,
3... opening those eyelids, ready now, "sleep", relaxing much
deeper than before, two times deeper... Good... Once again, 1, 2,
3, opening those eyelids, ready now, "sleep", relaxing much
deeper than before, two times deeper... Good... One more time
now, 1, 2, 3, opening those eyelids, ready now, "sleep", relaxing
much deeper than before, two times deeper again... Good.

Now you're relaxing the body very deeply, and as you relax the
body you're relaxing the mind. Now, I'm going to help you to relax
the mind even more deeply and this is how I'm going to do it. In a
moment I want you to begin counting down backwards from 100,
counting out loud, and repeating the words "deeper and deeper"
after each number. Each time you say the words "deeper and
deeper", you're doubling the relaxation of your mind, especially the
counting part of your mind. By the time you've counted just a few
of those numbers, to 95 or even 96, you'll find you've succeeded
in relaxing your mind so deeply that you just can't be bothered
even trying to locate those numbers, they've vanished completely,
forgotten from your mind. Start counting now, losing the numbers
to relaxation as you count, beginning now...

[Intersperse suggestions of deepening until subject stops
counting.]

That's it. Good. Now relax even more deeply, and as you do so
make an effort and try to locate those forgotten numbers and find
that you've succeeded, they've faded completely from the mind.
Haven't you?




Now drop your head forward slightly and roll your eyes up and
back as though you were looking toward a point in your forehead.
That's a bit of a strain but keep it up. Now, inhale deeply, filling
your lungs all the way up as you continue to look up and back.
Pause for a few seconds. Now keep looking up and allow your
eyelids to grow heavy and close down... as you exhale slowly and
patiently. Good, now send a huge wave of relaxation from the top
of your head down to the tip of your toes. Let all of your muscles
turn loose, and limp and wonderfully relaxed... just like a rag doll.

This induction should take no longer than 4 minutes tops. Any
longer than that, it loses it's power. And once you've put a client
through this "long" version, you'll have no trouble dropping him
into deep subnamulism anytime in the future using just about any
instant method.




STEP SIX

The Hand Drop Induction

Extend your hand palm facing up. Ask your client to place his
hand on top of yours and instruct him to push down (hold your
hand close to your body for leverage while the client extends his
hand far, so it is more difficult for him to push you down).
Say to client: Keep pushing down throughout this process. Fix
your gaze on my eye. In a moment, I will start counting from ten to
one. On or before the count of one your hand will drop down and
you will instantly close your eyes and enter a deep state of
hypnosis (make sure the client will not get hurt by the arm of the
chair of any other obstacle).
Your clients hand will swing down with some force and a loss of
equilibrium may occur, so make sure you are prepared and have
your clients safety at heart.
Nine - Eight - keep your pressure on my hand,
Seven take a deep breath,
Six keep your eyes fixed on me,
Five keep the pressure,
Four eyes getting tired want to close,
Three take a deep breath keep the pressure,
Two Take a deep breath
At this point, before the client completes the inhale, slide your
hand away in one swift motion, and at the same time, in a firm
voice, command SLEEP!
Start counting slowly: Ten- you may find that your eyes are
getting tired and tend to blink and want to close but try and keep
them open until you go into a deep hypnosis.





STEP SEVEN


Begin by having the subject hold their arms stretched out directly
in front of them, so that the palms of the hands are facing each
other. Have the hands about 6 inches apart.

(Spoken to the subject )

You may now lower your hands back to your side. In just a
moment I am going to have you bring your hands back to this
position, and you will find it very easy to go into a deep pleasant
level of hypnosis in just a matter of seconds. Would this be all
right with you? (You must have the subjects consent before
proceeding any further)

Now close your eyes, and take in a couple of deep easy breaths.
Hold each breath for a moment and then exhale slowly.

In just a moment I am going to have you extend your arms in front
of you, just as you had them a moment ago. When I ask you to
move your hands to this position I am then going to have you
open your eyes, and follow my simple instructions.

Remaining relaxed, and at ease, I want you to extend your arms
out in front of you just as you had them earlier.

(After subject extends their arms adjust the distance between the
hands to about six inches. Hold your index finger at eye level, and
instruct subject to follow the movement of your finger. Slowly
move your index finger between their hands)

Now I want you to concentrate on my finger. In just a moment I am
going to move my finger away, and I want you to begin to
concentrate on the spot where my finger was.

(Quickly move your finger in a downward motion)

You are doing good. Keep concentrating on the spot where my
finger used to be.



I am going to begin to count from 3 down to 1. On the count of one
allow your eyes to close.

Three, your eyes are feeling heavy, and tired.

Two, they are beginning to water, and tear slightly.

One, so heavy just allow them to close, and relax.

Even with your eyes closed you can still imagine that spot
between your hands.

I am now gently touching your hands, and as I do notice that your
hands are beginning to move together.

In just a moment your hands will touch. As they touch your entire
body will feel loose, and limp. You will be going into a very deep
hypnotic state. The hands are moving closer, and closer. The
moment that they touch the whole body becomes lose and limp.
You will be going into a very special kind of sleep. Almost there
get ready to let go. The moment that they touch you go into a very
deep special type of sleep.

(As the hands move together, have your hands in a position that
will allow you to lightly slap the outside of the subjects hands, and
thus pushing them together. You must be ready the moment that
the subjects hands touch. At the exact moment when the subjects
hands touch, rapidly, and firmly slap the two hands together while
giving the command to sleep. At the same moment lightly apply a
downward motion to the subjects hands. This will cause the
subject to bend at the waist. Allow the arms to dangle at the
subjects side)
