Medical Procedure Preparation Allow your mind to clear and if you'd like,
Close your eyes.
Now allow yourself to focus on your breathing.
And as you breathe in,
You are breathing in relaxation.
And as you breathe out,
You are breathing out any stress and tension.
Breathing in relaxation,
Breathing out stress.
Relaxing more with each outward breath.
Nice and easy.
Nice and relaxed.
Remember to listen to this information only when you're able to relax.
Never when you're driving.
Never when you're operating any machinery or equipment.
Only when you're able to relax.
And if there is something you need to attend to,
You will come out of this relaxed state quickly and easily,
Fully in control.
But for now,
Just allow yourself to enjoy the relaxation.
This time that is especially for you.
Allow your mind to focus on your feet.
Just think about your feet beginning to relax.
Imagine a comfortable,
Warm,
Soothing feeling in both of your feet.
Feel a warm glow of relaxation moving from your toes to your heels.
Soothing,
Relaxing your feet.
All of the muscles letting go.
Just letting go and relaxing.
Feeling warm.
Now allow that warm glow of relaxation to move up to your ankles.
That warm,
Soothing glow of relaxation allowing your ankles to relax.
Feeling good.
Feeling warm and calm.
And now that warm glow of relaxation is moving up through your calves.
Feeling warm,
Relaxed,
And heavy.
So now your feet,
Ankles,
And calves are wrapped in that warm glow of relaxation.
And when you're ready,
Allow that relaxation to move through your knees and up into your thighs.
Letting go of any tension.
Noticing the warmth,
The heaviness,
The relaxation.
And now allow that warm,
Wonderful glow of relaxation to move into your abdominal area.
Soothing,
Relaxing.
The muscles of your abdomen just letting go.
Feeling completely relaxed,
Warm,
And comfortable.
And that warm glow of relaxation is moving into your chest,
Allowing all of the muscles to let go,
To be completely relaxed.
And so all you notice is the wonderful rhythmic nature of each relaxing breath.
Remembering that with each outward breath,
You are becoming more and more relaxed,
More and more at peace.
And as you are enjoying this wonderful feeling of relaxation,
Notice that this warm glow is moving across your shoulders and up your neck,
Letting go of all tension in this area.
Allow your neck to find a comfortable position,
Nice and relaxed.
All the muscles of your face are letting go.
Your jaw is relaxing.
You may even find your teeth parting as your jaw becomes more and more relaxed.
Your cheeks,
The muscles all around your eyes and your eyelids are letting go,
Becoming so very relaxed.
You know you could open your eyes if you wanted to,
But you just don't feel like doing it.
You are so comfortable,
So relaxed.
It is as if warm rays of sunshine are surrounding your head,
Relaxing your scalp,
Your forehead,
Your nose,
Your mouth,
Your entire head,
Bringing a wonderful sense of peace,
Calm,
Relaxation and healing,
Soothing rays of relaxation.
And now that warm glow of relaxation is moving down your arms,
Relaxing all of your muscles,
All the way down through your elbows,
Relaxing all the way down through your wrists,
Your hands and fingertips.
And you are feeling warm,
Relaxed,
Calm.
And that warm glow of relaxation is moving into your back and all the muscles that crisscross your back are feeling loose,
Relaxed,
All the way from your upper back down through your lower back and legs,
All the way back down to your feet.
So now you are completely embraced in this wonderful warm glow of relaxation,
Of peace,
Of calm,
And with every outward breath,
You relax even more.
And now allow yourself to go deeper still as I count from 10 all the way down to zero,
From 10 to zero.
Just think of each count as a level of relaxation,
Each count relaxing you deeper and deeper.
10,
Nice and comfortable as you go to an even deeper state of relaxation.
Nine,
Going deeper and deeper,
More and more relaxed.
Eight,
Every muscle becoming heavier,
More relaxed.
Seven,
Feel the peace,
Feel the contentment.
Six,
Deeper still,
Even deeper now.
Five,
More receptive,
Feeling peaceful,
Feeling the contentment.
Four,
Becoming more relaxed than you've ever been,
Deeper,
Deeper still.
Three,
All the way down.
Two,
To even an even deeper state of relaxation,
Of calm,
Of peace.
One,
Almost there,
Your body completely relaxed.
Zero,
All the way down so that your subconscious mind can help you.
Wonderful,
Feeling at peace,
Feeling contentment,
Feeling total calm,
And all is well.
While you are enjoying feeling peaceful,
Calm,
And relaxed,
I'd like you to think of a very relaxing time and place.
Perhaps it's a time and place you'd like to invent.
Perhaps it's a time and place you'd like to recall.
A very relaxing time.
A very relaxing place.
A very comfortable time.
A very comfortable place.
A time and place when you felt safe,
Calm,
At peace.
Think about this place,
The scenery,
Hear the sounds,
Smell the aromas.
Feel that feeling,
A safe and comfortable feeling of well-being.
Take your time and go to this place.
And when you are there,
Allow that feeling to intensify.
Really see the scenery,
Hear the sounds,
Smell the aromas.
Feel the feeling,
That safe,
Comfortable feeling of well-being.
And now,
As you are enjoying this wonderful,
Safe,
Comfortable place,
I'm going to speak to your subconscious mind.
The subconscious mind is similar to a computer.
All through our lives it is taking in information,
Things that we see and hear,
Things that we learn from others.
The subconscious mind also takes in what we observe by just being.
Everything is stored in the files of the subconscious mind,
Ready to be accessed whenever appropriate.
And this state of deep relaxation also provides the opportunity for super learning.
So,
As I speak to you now,
It isn't important that you pay attention to the words I'm saying.
As you continue to enjoy this deeply relaxed state,
This deep hypnotic rest,
You notice your attitude toward the medical procedure becoming relaxed.
You are at ease about the medical procedure.
The nights preceding the medical procedure you easily fall asleep,
Easily drifting into a deep,
Calm,
Comfortable sleep,
A peaceful state of sleep.
You sleep comfortably through the night,
Allowing your body the rest that will enhance the success of the medical procedure and enhance healing.
At all times before the medical procedure,
Whether you are awake or asleep,
You are calm,
Relaxed and comfortable.
You feel secure and confident in all ways regarding the procedure.
During the medical procedure you feel calm,
Relaxed,
Comfortable.
You feel secure and confident in all ways regarding the procedure.
Before,
During and after the medical procedure,
Your mind is receptive to only positive thoughts,
Feelings,
Ideas and emotions expressed in your presence.
If you are given anesthesia,
You remain calm,
Relaxed and comfortable.
You have confidence in all of the healthcare providers involved in the medical procedure.
Therefore you are confident that the procedure will go well,
Will go smoothly and easily.
After the medical procedure is completed,
You feel relaxed,
Comfortable,
Refreshed,
As though you have had a good rest.
All functions of your body working naturally and normally.
You have normal and regular urination.
You have normal and regular bowel movements.
You feel healthy and full of energy.
You feel thirsty.
You experience normal hunger.
You have a lot of energy.
You are up and around soon and you participate in all of your normal activities.
After the medical procedure you feel at ease.
You are aware of feeling at ease.
You have lots of energy.
You feel calm,
Relaxed and rested.
You feel comfortable about having the medical procedure.
You are looking forward to the information the results will provide.
Confident you will deal effectively with whatever the outcome is.
You realize that knowledge is power and therefore want the knowledge the medical procedure will provide.
You feel confident,
Calm and relaxed.
You handle all medical procedures with confidence.
You know that all of these suggestions are completely effective and are used by you throughout your life at any time you need them.
You feel safe and secure because you know these suggestions are stored in your inner mind.
That they are available to you whenever you need them.
And they are always effective.
Each time you enter a state of deep relaxation of hypnosis you will go more deeply,
More quickly and more easily.
I am now going to count from one to five.
And on the count of five you will open your eyes.
Be fully aware,
Feeling wonderful in every way.
One,
Slowly now gently begin returning to full awareness.
Two,
You feel perfect in every way.
Three,
You feel a stirring surge of energy becoming more aware of your physical body.
Four,
Your entire body wonderfully refreshed and relaxed.
Five,
Fully aware and alert,
Eyes open.
Take a deep breath and stretch.
You are fully aware,
Alert and relaxed and you feel wonderful.
