The Dave Elman Hypnotic Induction is one of the most powerful Hypnotic Inductions available to the Hypnotists! It is widely used by the Hypnotherapists around the world because of its power, variability, adaptability and its quickness. It can take even your first time clients from their normal state of awareness to the deep state of Hypnosis, i.e., Somnambulism, in four minutes or less! It is equally effective for one-on-one sessions as well as group-sessions.

THE SCRIPT:

For the moment, rest your arms limply on your thighs like this, and I want you to look out here at my hand. In a moment I’m going to bring my hand up in front of your eyes like this. Demonstrate bringing the index and middle finger of the right hand in a pointing V shape, to a position just above their eyebrows

When I do, I’ll pass my hand down in front of your eye. Keep your eyes fixed on my fingers. As I pass my hand down, let your eyelids close down. Bring your hand straight down, one finger moving down over each eye. Now move your fingers to a pointing V shape just above their eyebrows, so that they have to look up at an angle to see your fingertips.

All right, now fix your eyes on my fingers. Now I’m passing my hand down in front of your eyes, and as I do, let your eyelids close down. Move your hand straight down, one finger moving down over each eye.

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. Now, when you know that you’ve relaxed them so much that they wouldn’t work even if you wanted them to, test them and you’ll see that you’ve been completely successful.

If 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 for a few seconds and continue.

All right, that’s fine. Now, stop trying and just relax and go deeper now. Now I’m going to raise your hand. I will do it by gently taking your right thumb in my fingers like this. Grasp their thumb between your thumb and index finger. As I lift your hand, just let it hang limply in my fingers. Slightly rock their 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 of relaxation from the top of your head, all the way down to the tips of your toes, and let it double your present level of relaxation. (Lift their hand, gently & slightly rocking it)

Now, I’m raising your hand. That’s it, let it hang limply. That’s good. Now, when I drop it, let it drop like a limp, wet rag, and as it touches your body, send a wave of relaxation from the top of your head to the tip of your toes, and let it double your present level of relaxation. Drop their hand.

That’s good. Now, we’ll do that again with the left hand. Now I’m going to pick up your left hand, and as I take your thumb, just let it hang limply. Slightly rock their arm back and forth.

That’s good; now you’re getting the idea. When I drop it, let it drop like a wet, limp rag. When it touches your body, send another wave or relaxation from the top of your head to the tips of your toes and double your present level of relaxation. Drop their hand.

That’s good. Now your body is relaxed and I’m going to show you how to relax your mind. Listen very carefully. The next time I touch your forehead, I want you to begin counting from one hundred backward in this way: One hundred, deeper asleep. Ninety-nine, deeper asleep. Ninety-eight, deeper asleep, and so on. After counting just a few numbers, by the time you reach ninety-seven, or ninety-six, or maybe, at the most, ninety-five, you will find those numbers disappearing. You will find that your mind has become so relaxed that you’ll just relax the numbers out of your mind. Alright, get ready now, three, two, one.

Tap the subject on forehead.
Begin counting. Listen to them count down and slow them down now if necessary. After each count, say GOOD or FINE. After the count of ninety-seven say:

Start relaxing them out of your mind. After several more counts, based on how the subject is performing, say: Let them relax out of your mind right now. Let them fade away completely.

After the subject has stopped counting, continue with:
That’s fine, you’ve relaxed your body; you’ve relaxed your mind; you’ve gone into a much deeper state of hypnosis. Use a deepener to enhance the trance.
