AWARENESS Flashcards
FOCUS YOUR AWARENESS ON______
Focus your awareness on your right shoulder, and notice that as you do so, it begins to relax. Now, focus your awareness on the quality of relaxation that you experience there and realize that when you focus your awareness your comfort and relaxation begin to deepen. So focus your awareness on the deepening comfort more and more completely and enjoy the experience thoroughly!
HAVE YOU EVER______
Have you ever read a story and become so engaged that you lose yourself in those pages? Have you ever fallen asleep and did you ever notice that you then drift into a sleep-like state as you go inside? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to go into that state at will? And have you ever felt as comfortable as you do right now?
NOTICE_____
Notice that you’re breathing at a certain rate and you may notice that your mind can begin to relax and space out a little. You may notice that you’re breathing in and out and how with each breath you can notice yourself getting calmer, stiller, more peaceful… you may have noticed that calm… going deeper and deeper inside and you feel good.
FIND YOURSELF_____
You might find yourself thinking about trance and the feelings of comfort that it brings. Then you could find yourself experiencing a sense of relaxation and peace beginning to settle over yourself. Find yourself do that now so that your inner mind begins to take you on a journey inside your mind, so that you find yourself going (go in) deeper and deeper into hypnosis…
I KNOW YOU’RE WONDERING_____
I know you’re wondering how you’ll experience hypnosis today. lf I told you that hypnosis is natural, I know you would wonder how you’d begin going into trance. Now it is a good thing to wonder. I know you’re wondering why your breathing has changed. Perhaps you’re even wondering why hypnosis deepens with your (you’re) breathing… naturally… takes you deeper.
REMEMBER_____
Can you remember a time you were deeply relaxed? Do you remember that feeling continuing deeper and spread as your mind went inside. Remember how good that feels. Now, can you remember a time you were in a trance. Remember the first sensation of hypnosis beginning and in time you’ll remember the trance deepening automatically. Eventually you’ll remember all the good trance feelings.
REALIZE_____
You realize that your body relaxes automatically in all kinds ol unusual ways. You may in fact realize that as you think about that, your breathing shifts into a more comfortable rhythm. Of course, you might realize that you are going into a very pleasant trance whenever you’re breathing comfortably.
You might also realize that this trance is a particularly educational one.
