Hello darling,
Why don't you take a deep breath and make sure you're nice and comfortable.
Let yourself focus on how the bed feels beneath you, how nice it is to sink into it and relax, and let each breath you take relax you even further.
Could you imagine relaxing your hand so much that you can't move it?
That's the quality of relaxation we want to get you to right here.
I want you to start by just relaxing the muscles around your eyes so much, that as long as you hold onto that relaxation, your eye muscles just won't work beyond continuing to read the words on this page.
As you do this, just gently move your eyebrows up and down, with each downward stroke relaxing the muscles even further, reaching the point where all your facial muscles are just fully relaxed and unable to move.
Now stop moving those, and let a huge wave of relaxation flow from the top of your head to the soles of your feet. Feel that relaxation deepen with each line you read, letting your head droop a little as you read, but maintain control of one hand so you can keep scrolling.
Feel yourself sinking deeper into the surface below you, sinking and drifting into it.
Now in a moment, I'm going to ask you to close your eyes, but only for a moment before you open them again.
And every time those eyes close and open, you'll go twice as relaxed.
Eyes closed...now double your relaxation...
Feel that relaxation double once more as you close and open your eyes again
Feel yourself getting slightly more alert now, before letting that relaxation go even deeper as you close and open your eyes once more
And one more time, letting yourself fall deeper than you did before, getting fully relaxed into trance.
There's physical relaxation, but now there's also mental relaxation. In a moment I'm going to ask you to count down out loud from a hundred like this:
*100*...getting more relaxed...*99*.. deeper relaxed... doubling your mental relaxation with each number.
After just a few numbers, you will have relaxed your mind so much that there won't be any numbers left to say. You will have relaxed them right out of your mind
Begin now. Reading along slowly as you count down
