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.
