Sit back and get comfortable.

You can either do this lying down or sitting in a chair.

Take a deep breath and make sure that your legs are on cross.

Now close your eyes.

Now begin breathing very deeply,

Taking five deep breaths.

And with every breath you excel,

You will become more deeply relaxed.

After the fifth breath,

Concentrate on the weight of your feet.

Your feet being foreign,

Filling to your normal body weight will begin to feel heavy.

And this heavy relaxation from your toes to your heels to your ankles will become very prominent.

You're now feeling this heavy relaxation moving upward into the calves of your legs,

Feeling the weight of your legs pushing down heavier and heavier,

And feeling your legs relaxing deeply,

Deeply relaxing.

And this heavy relaxation moves into your knees as you concentrate only on my voice.

Pay no attention to any sound outside except for the sound of my voice,

For these sounds are everyday sounds of life and cannot distract or disturb you.

But will tend to relax you and allow you to go even deeper into this deep,

Heavy relaxation.

Now feel the relaxation moving upward into your thighs and hips and through the midsection of your body.

Feel the stomach muscles relaxing,

Deeply relaxing,

And the entire chest area becomes saturated with relaxation.

Breathing becomes very deep,

Gentle,

And the drowsy,

Sleepy,

Daydreaming feeling of relaxation takes over,

Letting go.

Drifting down deeper and deeper,

And your arms,

Hands,

And fingers are relaxing,

Feeling a numb,

Pleasant,

Tingling feeling through your fingers as this relaxation grows deeper and deeper.

Neck muscles are relaxing,

And all the little muscles in the scalp are letting go,

Feeling as if the blood is circulating very close to the skin.

This relaxation moves down over your forehead and down over your eyelids,

And your jaw muscles relax deeply,

Deeply relaxing and growing heavier.

And as I count from five down to zero,

Each count will represent deep relaxation,

And you will feel the body relaxing even more and letting go,

Deeper and deeper.

And when I reach zero,

You will go deep asleep.

Now five,

Letting go,

Four,

Three,

Two,

One,

Zero,

Deep sleep.

Now each and every time I suggest deep sleep,

You will go down quickly,

Soundly,

Into a deep hypnotic state.

Each and every time I suggest deep sleep,

You will go down quickly,

Soundly,

And deeply into a hypnotic state.

And as I continue to talk,

You will continue to go deeper and deeper.

Now sometimes you will find ourselves paying attention to the most relaxing things.

Sometimes we find ourselves adding numbers which are numbered nicely.

Other times we drift a bit as we think about all the things that are parallel in the universe and all the things which cross perpendicular across the horizons of those parallel things.

But we always find ourselves slowing down for a stop sign and drifting,

Floating below the threshold of our consciousness.

When we feel ourselves let go of these parallel line thoughts and just focus on how drifting seems effortless,

In a room where blue and green move across the floor,

In a timeless drifting down motion which we find many times to be relaxing,

Relaxing,

Relaxing,

Deeper and deeper as we add three plus three plus three,

Plus the horizon of relaxation in a drifting feeling as we float along to the solution which relaxes us deeper into the mathematical concepts that we are now examining.

Because four plus four is the forethought to forego consciousness.

And drifting happens when we now calculate all the foregoing thoughts in the parallel sphere of our own reality,

Letting go and relaxing deeper and deeper.

One plus one is two of a kind in a straight flush down the river rowing a boat on a relaxing day and getting very tired of rowing,

Rows and rows of hay in a field having been baled by a male that sails down the same river.

And let's go of the drifting current currently relaxing in the warm sunshine,

Relaxing in a chair,

There walking down stairs deeper and deeper.

Now I want you to imagine yourself at the top of a staircase,

A very well lit,

Secure staircase.

Now we're going to count down from twenty to zero and with each step down you will go deeper and deeper.

Now twenty,

Nineteen,

Eighteen,

Seventeen,

Sixteen,

Fifteen,

Fourteen,

You're going deeper and deeper,

Thirteen,

Twelve,

Eleven,

Ten,

Nine,

Deeper and deeper,

Eight,

Seven,

Six,

Five,

Four,

Three,

Two,

One,

Zero.

Deep sleep.

Now I want you to look out and look around you.

You will notice something very familiar.

So you decide to start walking toward that way to see what it is.

With each step that you take,

You feel more and more relaxed,

More comfortable of where you're going,

Because there's no fear,

But only excitement.

Continue to take this path and as you look around you'll notice your favorite things,

Your favorite flowers,

Animals,

Birds.

It feels so peaceful in this place.

Now continue to walk and you look at your feet and you notice you have no shoes on.

You notice that you are grounding.

You notice that everything that you've been holding onto is releasing and you feel so at peace.

Now you continue to walk down this path and with each step releasing more and more of the anxiety you've been holding onto.

You feel your body relaxing more and more.

You feel more at peace.

You're even feeling more confident in who you are.

As you continue to walk along this path,

You start noticing the intense smell,

The intense smell of your favorite flower.

And with that,

Your body relaxes even more,

Releasing more and more of the anxiety that you've been holding onto.

And you're feeling more free.

You decide it's time you're going to start skipping and dancing and enjoying this moment with all your favorite things surrounding you.

And as you look up,

You will notice your favorite place,

Your favorite place that brings you so much peace and joy and love.

Now take a deep breath and soak it all in.

All your senses are heightened.

You can feel yourself coming alive.

And all the worries and anxiety that you have had,

You notice are completely gone.

You're now releasing everything that you've been holding onto.

You are now free.

You are now free from this anxiety and this worry.

You're free to enjoy this moment.

Stand here and soak it all in.

You feel this bright light covering you.

This healing light.

And you know at this time that you can offer everything you've been holding onto,

All the anxiety and worry.

You now can offer it.

You no longer need it.

Now you continued along the path.

And up ahead,

You notice the most beautiful waterfall.

You decide to walk toward that waterfall.

And as you walk,

You find yourself even walking faster and then you start to skip because the excitement of seeing something so beautiful,

So refreshing.

Now as you come to the edge of the waterfall,

You feel so amazing,

So relaxed that you have nothing to worry about or any concerns because you know all things do work out the way they're meant to work out.

You decide to get in.

The water is perfect.

It is the perfect temperature.

As you soak in all the sunshine,

You just feel so refreshed and so relaxed.

You decide you're ready to go underneath the waterfall.

Now as you stand under this waterfall,

You feel a cleansing.

You feel so free.

You're free from the anxiety and worry that you've been carrying.

You feel so cleansed.

What a beautiful experience.

Knowing that you can walk away now and do not carry that worry and anxiety with you.

You decide to stand here for a moment and just enjoy this moment.

It's time to come out.

You know that you can come back to this place at any time.

Now you decide it's time to start walking back and you feel like a new person.

You feel cleansed.

You feel free.

And you feel excited about what is ahead of you.

You continue to walk back up the path.

You will remember this moment and you can call it any time that you want.

Knowing that you have offered all the worry and anxiety that you've been carrying to love.

And you have been cleansed from it.

Just soak it all in.

Now as you continue to walk down this path.

You know,

Without a doubt.

You are on the right path.

You are being confident in who you are.

And what you bring to this world.

Just in a moment,

We're going to count up from one to five.

Taking back with you all that you experienced.

Knowing that you can go throughout your day.

Feeling joy and peace and love.

And you feel cleansed.

You will also have clear thinking.

Knowing what step you need to take next.

Now one,

We're going to shut the subconscious mind to all the negatives.

You're going to come up a little bit more.
