THE SCRIPT

I’m going to count from one up to twenty. As I do, you’ll feel a light, easy, pleasant feeling move into your right hand and up into your right arm. As I continue counting, that feeling grows stronger and stronger. Soon you’ll feel the first slight movement of your fingers, a twitching of the muscles.

Gently grasp the subjects arm, and demonstrate how it will move as you continue with:

Then your hand begins to lift. Your arm begins to lift. It continues moving, lifting, and rising until it finally comes back down to rest upon your body. Now when you feel the movement in your hand and in your arm, don’t try to resist. You could resist if you chose to, that is not why you are here. Just release your subconscious mind. All right, now we are ready to begin.

One - The light, easy sensation starts to move into the fingertips of your hand.
Two - The feeling is spreading up beneath the fingernails.
Three - It is moving up to the first joint of the fingers.
Four - Spreading to the knuckles.
Five - the first slight movements of the fingers begin with a twitching of the muscles.
Six - The light sensation spreads all across the back of your hand.
Seven - Spreading over and into your thumb.
Eight - Moving now all through the palm of your hand.
Nine - The light sensation spreads up and into your wrist. Think of your left hand now, see how it feels very, very heavy compared to the right.

Ten - your right hand grows lighter and lighter with each number I count; just as light as a feather floating in the breeze and even lighter. As light as helium balloon. Just as helium balloon will rise and float towards the ceiling, in the same way, by the time I reach the count of twenty, your right hand is moving, lifting, rising and floating.
Eleven - The light sensation has moved beyond your wrist now, spreading into your forearm.
Twelve - Once again, think of your left hand. Your left hand has grown so heavy; it feels as though it were made of lead.
Thirteen, Fourteen - That light sensation is spreading up toward your elbow.
Fifteen - From the fingertips all the way up to the elbow your hand has grown light, light and free. It’s beginning to lift. It’s moving, lifting, rising and floating. If the hand is not moving, gently lift it to encourage it to start.
Sixteen - Now your arm is moving and lifting and rising. And as your arm is lifting, you’re going deeper and deeper into hypnosis.
Seventeen - Your hand continues moving, lifting and rising now until it comes to rest over on your body.
Eighteen - Moving, lifting, rising, and floating. Right on over now and when your hand comes to rest upon your body, at that time your eyelids lock tightly closed. Your eyelids lock so tightly closed at that point, the more you try to open them the tighter they’re locking closed.
Nineteen - Your hand is getting ready to come down and rest upon your body.
Twenty - Now your hand has come to rest upon your body, and at the same time, your eyelids are locked so tightly shut, the more you try to open your eyelids the tighter they are locking shut.

That’s fine, stop trying and go deeper into trance.
