"Before we begin, I'd like to describe the goals we're going to be working to achieve with today's session. If these goals don't interest you, or if you don't feel safe and comfortable with them, you can simply make the choice to stop listening and find a different experience to enjoy. You are always in control of your trance state, and any suggestions you hear will only apply if you feel safe and comfortable accepting them.
"The goal of today's trance is to train you to enjoy the experience of showing off your body to others, in situations and to degrees that are safe, comfortable, and appropriate for the setting you're in. There are no specific hypnotic triggers I'm asking you to accept--we're going to teach your mind to recognize situations that are invitations to display yourself, and to enjoy those experiences when they occur. This is more flexible and open-ended than a trigger, and may result in you engaging in exhibitionistic behavior unexpectedly... although, again, only when it is safe and comfortable for you to do so.
"Although there are points in this session where you may be encouraged to pay less conscious attention to the hypnotist, there are no direct amnesia suggestions incorporated into this session, and no suggestions or triggers that are intended to be forgotten after the session is over. Even so, spontaneous amnesia does happen to some people during hypnosis, so you may find yourself experiencing difficulty recalling details of the trance experience. If you enjoy forgetting your trances, your mind is going to work to make that happen. You have permission to remember or to forget as much of this session as you want--again, within the boundaries of what is safe and comfortable for you.
"This session contains permissive language directing you to disrobe and touch yourself. If you believe you will have difficulty resisting these instructions, please wait until you have some privacy to begin. If you do not feel safe or comfortable following any of the described suggestions or instructions, this would be a good place for you to stop. Otherwise, please get comfortable for me so that we can begin.
"For you to really enjoy displaying your body to others, you need to first begin by becoming comfortable with it, and I'd like you to begin by closing your eyes and taking a deep breath in. Hold it for a moment and let it out again, settling into a pace of slow, even breathing that allows oxygen to saturate your lungs and filter into your bloodstream. That oxygen travels throughout your body, pumped by your heart in an endless circulation that you can feel and hear all around you. You could imagine your heartbeat like the tick of a metronome, keeping time for everything that happens to you whether you're awake or asleep.
"That amazing machine keeps life-giving energy flowing, all the way down from the crown of your head to the very tips of your toes. Every time you focus your concentration on a part of your body, you can feel the elegance of its construction. Just let the muscles twitch a little in your feet, feel the motion happen at your will and by your direction and marvel at the wonderful mechanisms that give you all that sensation and control.
"And as those muscles flex and move, you can allow them to rest in whatever position is most comfortable and let them fade from your awareness as you move up to your calves, up to your thighs. Your legs work so hard to support your body and sustain your movement, and it's okay to be proud of that strength, that energy. Just feel those muscles flex and relax, flex... and relax... and think about how impressive that feat really is. Even if they need help from a cane or a chair, even if they tire easily, your limbs still do important work every day. You can take pride in them.
