Aids Self-Hypnosis(Mental Laboratory Technique)

... And now begin mentally to stroll through this most beautiful place again. Begmentally walk, because somewhere hidden in this most beautiful place, is an elevator. Than elevator. Find the elevator hidden away in this most beautiful place. A secret elevatoyour own. Once you have found it, enter the elevator, then turn around and look out throthe door, to the place from which you have just come. The doors will not close. Lookthrough the door to a place from which you have just come. You will notice on the right hside of the door near your right hand there's a row of buttons. One of these buttons is ma"Laboratory". Push the button marked Laboratory - the doors will close. You will notice

just over the door there are ten numbers... from the number ten down to the number one. number ten is illuminated. As you begin your descent, you will notice that each number inis illuminated from ten, down to nine, down to eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, When you finally reach the first floor, the doors will open and, you will enter a laboratAgainst the far wall is a large screen, like a large motion picture screen or a large televiscreen. Just to the right of the screen is a computer console... built into the computer conis a typewriter. Directly in front of-and facing the screen are three chairs. Two of these chare slightly below - and in front of - the third one. The third chair, which is behind the otwo and slightly elevated above them, is larger than the others. To the right of the larger cyou will find a row of buttons. These buttons allow you to tie directly into the compconsole. There's a keyboard, like a typewriter at the right arm of the chair. Approthe computer console at the screen, now, and type in the words "My body" on the typewr(Pause.)

Immediately, an image of your entire body will appear on the screen. Type in the w"My body" on the typewriter, and immediately, an image of your body will appear onscreen. Just to the left of the typewriter there are two dials. One of them will rotate

picture to any view that you choose. Simply by turning the

17dial, you can manipulate and rotate the picture to any angle, any view that you would likexamine. Just above that dial is a second dial. That dial magnifies. By turning it, youmagnify the picture millions of times - to show the smallest particle - and then return normal size. If you would like a different view of your body, this computer console can suit. Any view of the body that you may choose is easily accessible - simply by typing inrequest on the computer console. For example, if you'd like an x-ray view of your body . .x-ray view . . . you have your body on the screen now . . . simply type in the words "x

picture" . . . "x-ray picture".

If you would like a heat sensitive picture - that is, a picture that will show you pointheat and cold throughout your body - simply type in "heat picture" "heat picture".

And if you would like a view of the energy systems in your body the electrical impu

and all the energy flow - simply type in energy picture" you will quickly and easily be to visualize the energy flow and how it circulates throughout the body.

Now if you will approach the chair . . . your chair . . . the one that is slightly behindother two... and sit down in it... you will be able to continue working with the images onscreen from whatever viewpoint you have in mind.

In a moment, two people will enter the laboratory, a male and a female - they are ylaboratory assistants. When they enter, they will introduce themselves to you, so you'll ktheir names. They take their seats in front of you, slightly below you. They are there to ad

you. You are in complete control - you make the decisions, they will simply assist. Persupplying you with information to which you don't normally have access.

In this laboratory every chemical, every tool, and every device that you could ever neeuse to enhance your state of well being... is available. Everything you need is here to assist in the healing of your body and mind. To help you achieve your goal high lwellness.

If there's a specific part of your body that you would like to see on the screen, simply tin the name of that body part. For example, left toe or right eye, or perhaps left lu

whatever you

think needs attention, you can type in the name of any area - as small or as large an area as choose. Once you've done that, you may want to use the different processes - the diffetypes ofviews on the screen - to locate a point that is not as you would like it to be. Ifwould like to lose weight or gain weight, if you would like to assist in the healing of an illnof some kind, simply type in the appropriate request, locate the problem on the screen, and a close up view of it. Then, with the tools, devices and chemicals in the laboratory, withadvice of your assistants, you can begin to remove the state of diseases For example, if had a sarcoma on the left leg, you may want to reach into the picture, which is thdimensional and tangible-touchable-and remove it. Use whatever device or chemical deem appropriate to remove it. You are sending mental images to your healing centers. may wish to bum it out, or cut it away. And then you may wish to visualize the cleansed ti

being filled in with a curative patch. Simply remove the unwanted material mentally replace it with positive healing material. There is no pain. No destruction of healthy tisTrust your intuition . . . trust your intuition . . . Use the images that come to you regarding h

best to assist the healing process. Now try it, try it for yourself, try it with AIDS symptoexplore your images of AIDS. Explore ways ofhealingAIDS and HIV.

I will remain silent for a moment as you visualize your immune system. Create poweimages, perhaps there will be sounds, perhaps there will be fragrances. These will alsclues to help in your healing process. Remember each healing image, each thought of reneand revitalization sends messages of health to those inner centers that control your statwellness. Heal now. I will remain silent for a time. Ask your advisors for assistancehealing thoughts have power. Any healing thought has power. I will rejoin you in a while. (Long Pause.)

And now I'm rejoining you. (Pause.) The screen and images may be used to reladdictions, overcome fear and anxiety and gain a more positive successful attitude as wSimply see yourself on the screen involved in an activity that you consider an addiction. Tlike a motion picture director, re-shoot the scene and see yourself

19overcoming the addiction, releasing it, and having no further need of it. See yourself powesee yourself having fun and being stronger and healthier - free of the addiction. Create sev

different scenes like that one. Allow the imagery to feel real to you. Create a new realityallows your body to really live it.

To overcome anxiety, worry, or fear, create a scene in which you would normexperience a negative, limiting emotion - and instead, see yourself having fun, enjoyourself and not feeling any sense of fear or anxiety. Then let your body feel the same tyou're experiencing on the screen. Create a feeling of high spirits, because in this hireceptive state your subconscious will accept suggestions, and will act more forcefully on tthan when it is active... engaged in more conscious functions. You now have the best chever of overcoming negative attitudes and implanting positive ones.

Again, I will be silent for a moment. When you feel rested and renewed, when yousatisfied that your inner-healing process is engaged, simply end the session by taking a d

breath and opening your eyes . . . feeling refreshed, renewed and relaxed.

28Arthritis

At first I don't want you to relax too much. I want you to just give yourself permissionbe quiet, as quiet as is possible. I want you now to become a little more still, but I do not wyou to relax completely. I want you to breathe easily and as comfortable as you can and beto release, if you can, whatever it is that you would like to let go of in your life. Now, if it'


7/50

possible for you, with your permission, I would like you to begin to relax. I would like for to begin to give yourself permission to let go of anything that might hold you from going vequickly, very, very deep, into a relaxed state.

If, at first, it is difficult for you to do this, that's okay. I want you to go atwhatever pace you would like to go. I would like for you to have whatever kind of experieyou would like to have. But while you're having whatever experience you would like to havI'm going to be taking you deeper, and deeper, and deeper into a very special state of mindwhere things change from the way they have been and become somehow quite different. Ywill notice as we go deeper how this becomes so for you. You will notice At first subtle anthen a more profound relaxation. As you go deeper now, and release from yourself all thathave known that is somehow connected to pain - to any kind of frustration for the moment you just allow yourself to be free. Just for the moment be free.' As you become free, fully ffor the moment... and you breathe out.

Something occurs in the breathing out that may be a surprise to you. There have bfrustrations, sometimes anger, sometimes hurt associated with this disease of arthritis. As

breathe out it is that pain of anger and hurt and frustration that is breathed out. Rather thanphysical pain. Whatever upsets have occurred for you because of this disease are litebeing breathed out.

As this is occurring you can relax more, more fully, and this is one of the things that ocin your body while you're beginning to breathe out the past experiences you've had withdisease. The circulation to all areas of your body is much improved. And you will notice

any area that has been sensitive, becomes less sensitive,

29

and the breathing seems to somehow help release and let go of any part of the pain that you have honto. And as you go deeper into this experience, and notice that your body can fully and comfortably relanow that your mind has allowed itself to give up any hurts or upsets or suffering that has been connected wthis disease... and so your mind releases, and lets go of anger and fear and hurt and upset... your body justrelaxes and lets itself go and there is no pain. And the circulation within your body is much improved andbecomes more improved with each and every breath you take.


8/50

There is now within you a system of organization occurring that helps the whole bfunction more fully and more clearly toward its own best health. Any kind of difficultresistance within the body, any kind of inflammation that has been occurring in the body, nin all the ways it has available to it, let go of all of that. And your body renews itself,regenerates itself, in new health, new wholeness, new fullness. And there is a delightfuthat is occurring within you.

Somehow, within the core of your being, you know that none of this experience you'vewith arthritis is really permanent, or fixed, or has to be. You know that the body has withthe ability to transform itself in all conditions. - And so you are now comfortably relaKnow that what has been so true in the past can be changed in a moment. And you yourself permission to allow the change from disease to full health occur. You give each of the body, that is capable of bringing healing to the body, permission to do so. And it isnatural process of the body working toward its own natural health. No one else, and not

else.

You are fully capable now, within your body, of giving the directions needed forarthritis you have had to become a thing of history. There are many people who haveexactly and precisely your experience, who today have absolutely no evidence of it. Iknowing this, you give yourself permission to release and let go of any investment of thoor idea that disease is something permanent, or has to be held onto. It will be for as long is needed by you, it will be as long and as powerful as is your experience with it, but thchanging even now, as you breathe.

30And so, you let go, and release the body. Allowing yourself to be fully renewed.

If there is anything that has been- prescribed for you that will assist, you will take this. you will also know that the effectiveness of it will be ten times more effective than it has

been in the past. And, in time, you may find you need less, because of the effectiveness. may, in fact, have to be careful how much of anything you do to help yourself, for featipping the scale too far in the other direction. It is your task to remain in balance, to b

balance to yourself in any way that you possibly can. And so with each decision you makis a decision to be in balance, to bring harmony to yourself, as comfortable and as easy as can, with no excesses. And you know now that your body is capable of feeling better th

has felt. And it is up to you to give yourself permission. First, to have the body be a heaprospering, positive expression,rather than anything less than that.

better observer of the renewal of your body. The renewal of your life. The creation of a life, literally moment to moment. On the count of 10 you will be awake, and you will be aand fully capable of experiencing your newfound health.

Autoimmune Diseases

As you go deeper I would like for you to pay particular attention to the natural processis occurring. With each and every breath you take, you take in new life. At the same tim

a perfect and balanced way, you release the air that you have just taken in, letting it go becait has been used. The body has taken from it all that it needs and then releases it. Your wbody process is a wonderful balancing of letting go of what is unneeded and drawing exactly and specifically what is needed. And so as you breathe out, I want you to particiwith me in breathing out more and more of the ideas, of the thoughts, of the feelings experiences that you have had that are now complete, used up, finished... no longer necessBreathe in new ideas and new comfort and new peace and new well being.

4 6Cardiovascular Disorders

Milton Erickson was probably one of the finest hypnotherapists who ever lived. Recenheard a story about how, one day, a man came to him very concerned about whether his h

was strong enough. Milton told the man a story about when he was a boy on his grandfatfarm, and if I recall, the story went something like this: "When I was a boy, living onGrandfather's farm, I remember awakening every morning to the sound of Granddad out infront yard, operating an old hand pump. Just pumping away, pumping and pumping. Worthat handle up and down again and again, in order to get the water we needed for the day.

It was the first thing I heard each and every day. And it was the last thing I heard lanight as I drifted off to sleep because he always pumped plenty of water for the livest

before turning in for -the night.

Now, a lot of folks would think that so much hard work would wear an old fellow Granddad out.

But he seemed to thrive on it. He was built like a bull ox and seemed to get stronger day. I always thought it must be because of all the exercise he got.

I was much younger than he and yet, I had only a fraction of his strength. Somehhearing him first thing in the morning working that pump, and last thing, late at night, working it, pumping, pumping, and always happily doing it as if he had some secret thahim get stronger and stronger with use. . . It made me feel safe and secure and I slept well

knowing he was out there, watching over me." (Pause.)

That's the story as I remember it, and I would like you now to take a deep brea(Pause.)... and let it out slowly, feeling your heart beat. Strong, regular, calm, relaxed - ssay it is the strongest muscle in your body. After all, it gets exercised every day. And yedoes respond to thoughts. If you think about something exciting or frightening, it can go fa


12/50

If you think of a peaceful, serene, tranquil, relaxed place... a quiet place... a place where feel totally

47

calm, totally balanced and in harmony, your heart rate slows down a little.

But, it always has a good, strong, base beat, not unlike the old hand-operated pump Milton Erickson's grandfather operated. He might have pumped fast, or he might have pumwith slow, regular movements, but he always pumped the water that was needed to bring

to the farm, and he got stronger every day.

Your heart pumps like a strong right arm. The blood flows, bringing life, nutritionfresh oxygen to every fiber and cell.

You breathe, your heart beats, the sun rises and sets, the ocean ebbs and flows... allhas a rhythm and all living things have an internal point of balance and harmony. You dhave to create it, all you have to do is to grow quiet, relaxed and peaceful, then wait for it.

It will come with the deep powerful beat of your heart, with the relaxed, even breaths

you take, with the life's energy that courses effortlessly through your veins and arteries.

If ever you wish to relax your thoughts and relax your body in order to findyour healing balance, simply listen to your heart beat.

It may grow a little more calm, a little more relaxed, a littlemore tranquil, but like the old farmer, it is steady, sure and powerful with every movemevery beat, every rhythm.

DentistryBruxism

When people grind their teeth at night, it occurs for two reasons. First, you store tension there in your jaw and, secondly, it's become a habit. Let's take the tension out of

jaw and release the pressure. Let's implant that you will do a dental exercise wherereplace the habit with a new, better, healthier one that releases the tension. Together wecreate this new pattern for health at the same time.

All you have to do is place your attention or consciousness in your jaw. Focus yawareness in your jaw, notice how tense the muscles are there. The easiest way to relmuscle tension is by tightening it, then releasing it. You must do this every night prioyour going to sleep. Clench your teeth firmly together and hold them still for a count ofthen release and relax the muscles. Do this exercise with me, clench. your teeth firmly, release. Notice how the muscle is responding. It feels warm, that is the blood flowing itaking all the tension - all the stress that has chemically built up inyour jaw. At nightwill do this for two sets of ten times... When you have released the stress in your jaw tis no need for you to grind or gnash your teeth at night. All that stress is gone. Alltension is taken away. You will have a much more relaxed slee p than you have encount

for a long, long time. In the morning you will feel better rested, knowing you freed youfrom tension prior to sleeping. This is your new habit for health.

You feel so much better now that you handle your stress in a positive way. You no lonhave any urge, need, or desire to continue the old destructive pattern. It is just simply a bemore comfortable way of living.

Having just become aware of the pattern helps to transcend it. You now have the ideathat

you can recreate your life and learn new methods for handling stress. This leads you to sm

Imagine right now that you are in the dental office and your dentist is congratulating on how you have improved. He can physically show you how much more healthy younow. He is pleased for your success and delighted to see the improvement.

66Developing Higher Level of Creativity

As you go very deep and relax... as you give yourself permission, now, to allow that

of you that is the most creative part of you to move forward... you recognize that there is mmore to you of substance that is creative than there is anything else. So, it is easy for you to notice your senses and how focused and clear they are. Notice your experiences of memand how colorful and vivid they are. In fact, there is nothing about your life that is not cdetailed and creative in your mind. You've decided now to begin to access this wondexperience that lives within you and to allow it to be expressed in many, many ways.

You will notice through the day, through the evening, through each day that passes, there is awareness how the world functions, how the world is, how you are in the world -amazes you.

Much like a child who is curious with each and everything that occurs... you too arebecoming more curious. More curious of how the life you are living is unfolding. And youwill feel inclined to want to be more expressive of all this in creative forms. And so howevis you are the most creative or would like to be the most creative, you notice now there iswithin you a desire to begin to risk. . . whatever there is. . . that is at risk. To be creative ato express yourself. You notice also that whatever there was in the past that might havehindered you, other people's opinions, other people's concerns, doubts, and worries and feano longer plagues you. There's a real strong desire now just to jump in and begin to expres

who it is you really are in a creative form. Looking forward to the day where you can be mcreative and more expressive. You begin to prepare yourself, in your thoughts, foropportunities to share yourself creatively and expressively.

You will notice, as the days unfold and you allow yourself to develop patterns that givyou opportunity for expressive creativity... you will want to do more. . . and more will comeasily. . . and you will notice that you will just see yourself as a very creative person. . . andyou see yourself as you truly are and as all people

67


15/50

truly are. . . even if they have not normally noticed this. So, it is a normal state for you tcreative.... and it is a normal thing for you to be creatively expressing yourself.... and you notice now that this normal experience that you have given permission for becomes eamore comfortable, more frequent and more enjoyable.

You're going to now begin to awaken, and as you move toward that awakening proyou look forward to the day, to the way, in which it will unfold for you and how mcreativity will occur within each day.

Difficulties with Moods and Particular Depression


16/50

Going deeper, and deeper and deeper, allowing yourself now as you go deeper to releand to let go of all the interference that is in your life, all of the interference that stops from being fully and completely in charge - and pleased with your own life. As you relax and go deeper, you notice something that you may not have seen so easily before, but it

become clearer for you with each and every breath you take, with each and every momentpasses. And that is... in this very special state, your mood is neither depressed nor elatedhigh or too low - but in fact, your mood will become very even and very comfortable for yo

You notice also that you're feeling very safe and the sense of safety is increasing,sense of well-being is improving. Along with that, as you breathe, you breathe out al

past events and experiences you have held on to - that have often stopped you fexpressing the joy, and the pleasure and the comfort... or the frustrations and the upsets life may have seemed to have brought you... And so now, knowing that it is okay to exp

more of yourself, more freely and more easily... there is more of you available to enjoy anbe enjoyed by yourself.

As you breathe you notice that there is a sense of relief, you no longer have to heverything in. Nor do you have to explode or let everything out. There is just calminside, a sense of well-being, a sense of being nurtured and nourished from within that allyour entire body to relax and to function smoothly and easily. And any aspect or dimenof your body that's been out of sync, out of harmony, out of balance... now, with y

permission... can bring itself back into balance, back into harmony. And the moods typically annoyed, bothered or upset you disappear easily and quickly. And whenever

find yourself near that experience of a mood that is disliked by you...

...You can gently and comfortably and pleasantly hum to yourself a song, a popular of the past - or one that is current. It feels to you to be positive, and loving and caring. you will notice, after awhile, that you will adopt a particular song. And this particular swhenever hummed, has the effect of

69

bringing you from whatever state that you're moving towards - that you do not want to a cpeaceful, joyous state that you can enjoy.


17/50

And so now with this knowledge you have some tools... and your body and your mindyour thoughts are yours to manage, to organize, and to orchestrate, much like a symphonyway you would like for it to be played... you now approach life more freely, with a sens

balance.

And it will be come easier and easier for you to become the orchestra leader of your And to notice you can play each and every experience and each and every mood, much likorchestra leader conducts the orchestra, to achieve exactly the sound that he would likhave. You, too, can do this... easily and smoothly. And as you do, it will become easieyou. And there will be no mood that seems to overwhelm you... either good or bad. Ywill find yourself feeling the joy that is in your heart to feel. And feeling sadness when thesadness, but not being overwhelmed by either. So now move forward, feegood about what you have gathered today. Knowing that it will be increased with each every experience of your life. And now we' re going to begin to move toward that awake

state.

Freedom From Pain of Shame, Guilt, etc.(Metaphor Technique)

Once, when I was in California, I went to meet a wise old man. Everyone told me of hin only a few words, he was able to help people change their minds and change their lives.

I don't know where he came from, I couldn't place his nationality, but he was, indeed, owise and a man.

I asked him how I could help people to free themselves from all the pain of their past

negative emotions and negative actions.Here is what he said: "These negative emotions, thoughts and memories - can you touch

them?"And I said, "No.""Can you see them?""No," I answered.

"Can you here them, taste them, smell them?"


18/50

"No," I said again. "But I know we can be touched by them. We can feelhurtemotions, shame, fear, guilt."

"Yes!" he said excitedly. "And to heal invisible things you mustuse invisible means.""Close your eyes," he went on. "Imagine that your soul is made of one piece of fabric, allwoven like fine cloth. Grasp it near your heart and pull it completely free from you as youmight pull a large handkerchief from your pocket.

"Now look at how spotted and soiled and stained your poor soul has become... you hnot cleansed your soul in a very long time... it is time now to cleanse it thoroughly.

"Oh it isn't your fault that it has not been purified - no one ever taught you how before..See the golden basin before you. It is filled with the waters of truth... Gently place the clotyour soul into the healing waters... Now add the memory of an act of kindness or generositif you have none of your own, I will loan you one of mine... just be sure to replace it as sooyou can. (Pause.)

"See how the waters of truth and a simple act of kindness can heal a darkened soul? Ycloth is gently stirred, cleansed, and made whole Now, instead of

83


19/50

putting it back into your heart, slip into it as you might put on a robe. The fit will

be perfect." (Pause.)

Then the wise old man paused before he added, "A delicate soul like yours

needs a little cleansing everyday and so I will tell you a great truth that will bring

the cleansing waters to you whenever you need them."Always remember that all humans, even you, no matter what they have done

or not done, no matter what evils they have committed or have allowed to occur -

all humans, every one, has always done the best they could with what they were

and how they thought at the time.

"When you were a baby, you did the things babies do. As a teenager you did

things which you would not do today - as you have gained understanding - but you

did what you thoughtwas foryourbest goodat the time."

"And now you are wiser still... more enlightened... and you will seek acts of

nobility because you can."

That was all he said. I think about him often, and now I pass his words on to

ou.

Inner Healing - Forgiveness

Imagine that the anger or hurt you carry is a hot coal in your hand. If you close your fitightly around it, who is getting burned? You are! Carrying this anger and hurt is painfyou. Regardless of what the person who hurt you feels. You need to forgive. You neestop the pain. Let's work together and let go of the pain.

See yourself as whole and strong. Let your inner mind know that you are safe. I wouldlike for you to imagine the individual who hurt you standing in front of you. They can no

longer hurt you emotionally, physically or mentally. You are strong now and balanced in aareas of your life. Tell that person, who wronged you, that you were hurt by their actions.Those wounds are now healing and it is time for you to go on with your life. Let the personknow you didn't appreciate what they did, and will not allow it to occur again. Allow yourinner mind to convert this into a dialogue where you ask them to apologize to you.Accept their apology. You are wiser now. You are in control. Remember that you need toforgive, even if the other person does not. You are doing this for you. With that stronglystated, let go of the past, forgive them. Keep the lesson that was taught to you, but forgivethem.

95When you forgive others you also forgive yourself. Breathe a deep breath and fe

strength come into your body, then exhale your pain... Take another deep breath and as exhale release your fears... Take yet another deep breath, and as you exhale release

past... Lastly, take a deep breath... and allow the joyous energy of love to fill your land heart... Release the breath - feeling much lighter than before. The weight has lifted fyour shoulders. You are no longer bound by the past. You are lighter because you have fyourself from that person. You have made a choice to let go of the pain and the anger, buthave not let go of your own value.

Overcoming Hopelessness

As you release the fear that all that's in your life will remain hopeless... as you

yourself permission to have life unfold for you in some other way... little happens for yexcept right now you become more relaxed, more comfortable, more at peace with yourseLittle more happens right now than this - for a single moment, you have given yourcomplete and total permission to be free of all worry, of all doubt, and of all hopelessne

just right now. But notice as you give up, let go, and release the sense of futility hopelessness that you've often experienced and sometimes have been plagued with... in

place there is nothing in particular to worry about. There is just you... peaceful, comfortand relaxed. And you notice that whatever there is that you worried about can be worabout at a later time.

Whatever there is that has had you feel without hope will continue on its own with

you. You now let it go and give yourself permission to not be hopeful, and not tohopeless... but rather to just be... And you begin noticing that people who have enormhopefulness and people who have enormous hopelessness are not so different. You kthat you do not want to be hopeful when there is nothing to be hopeful about, and don't wto be hopeless, because being hopeless is so futile and so frustrating. Decide to give up b

just to be, right now... to experience life exactly as it unfolds... to deal with it directly exactly. There seems to be, right now within you... from some source unknown to youlevel of peacefulness that is beginning to express itself and expand itself.

It is hard for you to explain or understand, but nevertheless it is occurring. And this iswhat happens as we shift from hopeless or being hopeful into just being fully present in ou

lives... there is also an awareness within you that as you are more and more able to just bethe moment without hope or hopelessness... that you access an enormous source of powerAll of the healing energy of your body is not available to the hopeless, and it is not availabto the hopeful. It is available to those who would just be, right now, fully and completelyalive... willing to reach into themselves and have their lives be

Also, hopefulness is a condition of thinking as well. But being in the present right now iexperience of life that you are very eager for, and give permission to have more and moreuntil you are so fully absorbed in the right now. The questions of hopefulness or hopelessseem somehow absurd to you. Looking forward to this occurring daily, moment to momhour to hour... you now move towards an awakened state where you can fully enjoy experience.

Out of Body Experience

Today we are going to have an out of body experience, and I'll help to facilitate that wyou. But before I do, let us put this safeguard into place. If at anytime I would like for yocome back into your body to rejoin me here; and you will return; yet you will be an highypnotized state when you rejoin me. I will simply tap you like this on your shoulder (tap

client on their shoulder), Good, that is our agreement... very fine.Now we're going to go ahead and have an out of body experience. So, just r

completely, and know that I am here to help you. At anytime that you want, you can alwreo+ui7n to your body. I will also help and facilitate this through having a golden banlight that attaches between you - from your body to your spirit - and this will never

broken. This thread will always lead you very easily and quickly back into your boexcellent.

Now, one thing I should share with you before we begin is that brain researchers flong time have isolated a certain area of your brain, noting that when it is stimulated you have an out of body experience. This is well documented in medical literature. But wha

will be doing is different. Instead of electrically stimulating that crevice in the brainsimply will be mentally accessing that doorway, that pathway, in the brain.

So, what I would like for you to do is to begin by visualizing the left hemisphere of your b- and then the right hemisphere of your brain. You can do that by simply keeping your closed and looking left, and then looking right. Stimulate the left hemisphere of the brain,then the right hemisphere of the brain. And while circling your eyes clockwise, youstimulate your entire brain. Visualize right now that your eyes are circling, searcthroughout the brain - left, right, upper, lower, stimulating all of the brain until the whole bis engaged. Now deeply within the right lobe there are crevices. You will find that

particular crevice... focus on it completely. That is your accessing door. Go ahead and op

now, clearing your mind of any concerns, for I will always be here. Releasing completely.that you are willing to accept this idea


25/50

112youre able to have fun with it. You are an explorer. Trust that what you are doinimportant. Explore. As the door opens in that section of your brain, you'll notice there maa sound... like a swishing sound, or a ringing. That's just you popping out of your body okay.

You can use your imagination free-style if youd like. In your mind, go to any placewould like to go on this earth or throughout the cosmos. But before you go too far, look band reassure yourself there is a golden thread that is out linking you, in between your bodyyour soul. You are perfectly safe in going. I will safeguard your body, there is no diffichere, whatsoever, during this exercise. In fact, I'm going to give you about eight minutes tominutes of clock time. And at that time I will again tap you on your shoulder, and your will feel that tap through the thread, and reconnect with your body. Coming back will be and effortless. And we'll discuss where you went, and what you saw. Every time that yothis exercise in the future it will be five times easier than ever before. It will be five timore effortless. It will feel more natural to you, every time that you practice this exercisthe future.

[Note: Tap the client on the shoulder after 10 minutes... then say to the client"Welcome back into your body, you're still in a deep state of hypnosis: You willremember this exercise - every detail of this exercise - so that we can discussit freely and effortlessly." Then you implant an affirmation that states thesesuggestions will go "five times easier, five times deeper, five times faster... and it won't matter if you skip day or two when you're practicing, you'll feel completely rejuvenated every time that you do this exercise,we'll have more things to share every time that you practice." Then, awaken your client.

Pain ControlEricksonian Technique

[Note: This is one of my all time favorites. It works especially well for people who need some sort of log

linear evidence in order to participate. Part of it is Erickson's concepts, part was added in later from myexperiences.]

You know, it's truly amazing how well we have trained our bodies and minds to tune olot of noise and sound pollution. We can be in a room full of


26/50

1 1 3

talking people and listen to only one. We can cross our legs or drape an arm ovsignificant other, during a motion picture, and only later discover the pain and numbness come from having it "fall asleep."

We can go on a camp-out and have so much fun that although pine needles scratchand insects bite us, and the sun burns us, we notice none of these things until later that naround the old campfire, when our bodies come alive to remind us of all the things that wdone to them.

In effect, you were so busy enjoying yourself that you forgot to feel pain. In fact, it hours from the time you received the wound until you actually felt the pain. It was a sim

trick of the mind. In fact, it is a trick that you use every day. Right now, as I am talkinyou, and you are listening to me, you have forgotten the shoes on your feet... you are weathem, but until you turned your thoughts to them, you forgot tofeelthem. (Pause.)

You have forgotten to feel the watch on your wrist... and now you do feel it. You hforgotten the belt that is pressing on your stomach... and now you feel it. You hforgotten the collar that rubs against your skin all day... and now you feel it. (Pause.)

Now, all this did not occur because of some magical words I have said. No one said"You will now forget to feel your shoes," or you will now cease to notice the clothing rubbagainst your skin." No, indeed. There was no drug needed, nor any surgery or special type meditation - you have learned, over a period of many years', how to use a powerful part of

your mind, withoutany deliberate effort on your part. Like breathing or blinking your eyeyou have learned how to forget to feel things, and you have the ability to deliberately feel

same things.Just as your unconscious mind knows how to breathe, you can breathe consciousl

well. Your unconscious mind has also learned how to forget pain or touch - and conscious mind can enable you tofeelwhen you want to.

[Note: This can then be combined with techniques such as having the client describe pain detail: "You say it is a 'buming pain'. Is it a buming such as flames might produce, or more like the low, constant heat from the embers of a fireplace?" Then, "The flames, are th

like a candle flame in the area or the intense flame of a windblown fire)" and "Are the flamconsistent or flickering? Is the area, all about the same, or are some areas less intense thanothers?" etc.

Thus, you cause the client to "whittle down" the pain to a more manageable size and shape, while actcreating the metaphor that describes the pain.]

114Pain Release Technique

(Heavy Pack)

You have just spent six days and nights on a journey with a very old and very wwoman. Among her people she is considered to be holy.

Along the path, she told you many wonderful secrets about life and living, and about and peace. Some of the things were strange to your ears, but no matter how strange, instinctively trusted every word.

Now, she is sending you on your own journey... and it is during this journey thatpromises you will learn how to become pain free.

Before you leave her, she instructs one of the men of the village to place a large and vheavy pack upon your back. As he does so, you slip your arms through the straps so thatcan carry it like a camper or a hiker might.

In this heavy pack, she explains, are gifts that may be given to anyone who seems to none... and rocks, yes - large, heavy stones that make the pack seem so heavy.

These may be taken out by people along the path of your journey as well. But, who,wonder, would take a stone instead of a valuable gift?

Each person you meet may take only one item from your pack, she explains, and eperson will take the item that is perfect for him or her.

There is a far mountain with snow on its peak - she points to it, and you know yjourney will end only when you reach its peak.

The straps are already digging into your shoulders. Your muscles already ache from

strain. It's a little better when you remember to breathe deeply, but the mountain top seso far. (Pause.)Still, you begin. One foot, another step, and another, and another. (Pause.)Slowly, the village and the wise old woman are left behind.

115


28/50

She has taught you the secrets of the forest. The rustlings and shufflings you hear inbrush are just the small, furry creatures you have met and played with and fed for the few days. (Pause.)

The river chuckles along to your right. The trees sigh in a gathering breeze. You wyou could simply stop and let the cool green earth absorb the heat from your bonesmuscles, but there seems to be an importance to reaching the far mountain you almremember why it is important... then the weight of the pack drags you back to the herenow, and you press on. (Pause.)

The sun flickers through the trees, dappling your skin with spots of heat and light.(Pause.)

Then, as you round a curve in the path, you come upon a small hut. There you see ayoung woman and two children.

There is no man here. There has not been one for a long time, you sense.And you perceive a profound sadness in the woman. You cannot think of anythin

say, so you merely explain that you have gifts for everyone.You kneel down so the children can reach in, and you feel them each take somethalthough you cannot see what it is because they scamper back up the trail behind laughing and obviously delighted. (Pause.)

The woman wouldn't have come near except she saw how happy the children were. as she pushes back the flaps you hope she will take one of the heavy stones... but she doe

Instead she takes something as light as a memory. So intangible that you barely notishift in the weight of your pack.

Turning, you see her, face turned toward the sun, eyes closed and smiling. She peace. You remember the words of the wise old woman and know that this youngwo

has chosen just the right gift for her. (Pause.)Without disturbing her you turn back to the path and continue your journey.Curiously, even though the pack really does not seem any lighter, you feel some

stronger, better able to handle the load.

116

After a while you get into a walking rhythm and your thoughts turn light and gossamspreading thinly on the air.


29/50

You scarcely notice the lush countryside, the vivid colors of the wild flowers,fragrances of the forest or even the soft grasses upon which you walk.

And that is why it is unexpected when your pack becomes suddenly ten pounds lighYou turn and are surprised to see an old friend. One whom you had helped a long time when he was in pain.

"Thank you," he says, and there are a million questions you want to ask. He has a stonhis hand. It must have come from your pack. Didn't he know he could have a gift instDidn't he know that the kindness you performed for him was really small and insignificPerhaps he could put the stone back and take something truly valuable.

He turns and strides swiftly up the trail, much faster than you could follow.Still, you try to catch up and are so intent upon his rapidly diminishing figure that

almost stumble over an old woman, or is it an old man? It is so hard to tell. He or she wlayers of clothing and has been living in hard circumstances for a long time. Another joinsand another. You seem to recognize these people. Where had you met them before?

Perhaps you fed one of them once; perhaps you met one in a hospital, or some old churfunction, or in a school. Your memory of them is vague and muted by time.One of them speaks. "Did you think you would have to walk this path alone?" she asksThey are doing something behind you and your pain begins to subside. Your pack gr

lighter, your burden is lifting.It is still heavy, but quite bearable. They begin to shuffle away and melt back into

hills, mountains and forests. But that didn't make sense. She had indicated you wouldnalone.

Could it be that there are others ahead, waiting for you?Those who need your gifts and those who have been waiting to take your burden f

you?

117

Your journey continues. What will you find? I do not know. Who is just around the corner? What adventures lie ahead? That is for you to discover, but now you know thayour burden grows lighter your pain grows lighter as well, and even as you continue on,


30/50

get stronger. With every step you take, with every encounter you make, with every brewith every beat of your heart, your journey continues. (Pause.)

And as the minutes turn into hours, and the hours stretch into days, you may grow wfrom time to time.

When you do, set your pack aside for a while, sleep on a bed of cool green grass... when you awaken, you will have returned to my world for awhile.

But when you wish to return to your healing journey all you must do is lie, back takdeep breath, close your eyes and imagine the weight of the pack as it settles easily onto yshoulders. The path will appear and your journey will continue.

Pain ReductionPick A Number

[Note: Pick A Number - Ask the client to choose a number between one andten to describe the intensity of the pain. Start with whatever number he (she) chooses and create metapho

for each number. Remember, you are also teachingyour client how to use metaphor to reduce pain - thelogical , linear sequential part of the brain likes the numbers; the feeling, intuitive, creative part likes themetaphor. Let us say the client chooses "10" this time.]

Good, I'm glad that you are so easily able to choose a number to describe the intensity oyour pain. That lets me know that you have established strong lines of communication

between your thoughts and your body.Now, with your eyes closed, I would like for you to mentally see that number on a scre

in your mind. Hold that image as intensely as you can (Pause.). You may notice that the myou focus on the number ten, the brighter it becomes, until it absolutelyglows. And as you

continue to focus on the number ten, the glow seems to make the edges of the number shimand flow outward, like a heat mirage on a summer highway. And as the number ten beginsmelt and blur away, the number nine seems to be appearing within it.

Perhaps, as the number nine begins to appear and the number ten shimmers anywyou may notice something different about the number nine. Perhaps it is a different cor somehow not quite as intense as the number ten was. Perhaps the number ninmore, flexible, pliable; and it begins to sag or even flow like sand in an hourglass, slo

beginning to take on the shape of an eight. The shape of an hourglass is a figure eiisn't it?

And as the nine flows into an eight and the sand settles quietly, I wonder if you

imagine what would happen if a gentle breeze were to come along and softly blow asome of the sand revealing a number seven hidden beneath the sand?

Of course, the number seven wouldn't be as large as the number eight was, becasome of the sand was blown away and the seven was smaller - so it could be hid

behind the number eight.Now, the number seven seems to be most interesting. Some people believe that

number seven is most lucky. I always think of a candle when I think of the number s


31/50

because I once saw a candle on my seventh birthday. It was shaped like the numseven and was very difficult for my mother to persuade it to stand upright because it so top heavy.

I don't know why, but instead of blowing it out, I wanted to let my number secandle burn all the way down, so my mother placed it in a shallow bowl with a lwater in the bottom and we let it burn down.

It took hours, but when it finally did burn down, it sort of tilted over and flodownward until it looked like a dripping number six. And in my naive mind I thohow lucky I was, because now instead of being a seven, I could be a six.. And I woalways have an extra year if I ever needed it.

Perhaps you noticed the number seven melt into a drippy number six. I wonder the number six will change? Will it sit, cold and hard? Will it crumble away? Wgrow dark and fade until the number five is revealed?

I'm going to wait with you. We'll wait together until something happens. Unti

number five appears. And when the number five can be seen by you, I would like forto raise the index finger on your right hand, just a little to let me know that you see it.

[Allow the client to respond. Repeat "raising finger" suggestion if you think it is necessary.]

Good, you may lower your finger and relax even deeper. (Pause.) Once, a friend of mshowed me how she could take modeling clay

119

in the shape of a "five" and with only two twists, she could make it a "four. I wondementally, you could figure our how she did it. Could you reach into the picture in your mand bend the soft clay of the number five into a four... it might take a couple of extra tw

but the clay is soft and we have plenty of time (Pause.).There is a beautiful, home in Monterey, California that is built like a number four.

Can you imagine hat? I was so enchanted to discover that a sideways three could actulook like a flying bird, that I always ended up putting too many birds in my sky. The hor


32/50

was filled with sideways threes. The teachers never liked it much, but they couldn't see my imagination.

I wish they could have, because what happened next was that a strong breeze blew in frthe ocean and the sky full of birds rode the wind and 'were blown farther and farther away,like leaves on an autumn day.

Once, a wise woman was asked, "Why is it that we seem so much calmer, more relaand happy when we are in spots of nature, like a meadow, or a forest, or beach than we dthe cities?" She replied, "Because we were created to live in nature. We have to adaporder to live in cities."' I was thinking about what she said as I relaxed on a beach, in Flornot too long ago.

There, on the beach, was a beautiful, golden palm tree with strong, green palm fronds. the unusual thing about it was that there had been steady winds coming in from the ocean since the tree began to grow... so that the fronds, all its leaves, were pushed to one side oftop of the tree - and they hung down in a cascade of green and gold, only on one side. So

the tree curved like a large, living, number two with the sand stretching out in a straight linits base.And only a few short paces away, there were surfboards all lined up and standing

individual fingers all pointing toward the sky. I couldn't imagine why anyone would go surhere, because the waves were almost non-existent. The water was calm and blue and perfec

120

temperature. The sun was nice, so I decided to find out why people paddled out onsurfboards and simply lay on them as the gentle waves flowed under them, lifting and setthem down, almost without disturbing them.

There was no charge for the surf boards, so I slid out on the water and let my arms andlegs dangle. And it was several minutes later that waves of relaxation seemed to floweffortlessly beneath me, rocking, lifting, setting me down.

And there I lay wondering what God would see looking down on us as we lay scattabout looking like a lot of little, individual number ones, yet all somehow connected byocean. All feeling like one thing. Relaxed, peaceful, serene, tranquil and all connectedone ... great... thought. Without pain, without care, without tension ... we seemed to share

beautiful dream...

[Note: With this technique you are teaching your client how to think imagistically and metaphorically. keep in mind, we have an impliedagreement that-as the numbers go down, so too will the Don't forget to remind the client to create his (her) own images to change the numbers insession when he practices alone.]

Past Life Therapy

[Note: First I ease the client into a regression by taking him(her) into a priortime in this life. Then I move the regression further back in time. I find this builds confidence in the clienability to recall details.]

Now I'll like you to imagine we're turning back the clocks of time back five years, binto your history to a beautiful, wonderful, happy day. Back in time - five years ago. You

be able to hear me, and also to answer me, and at any time when I want you to come backbe with me... I will simply tap you on your hand right now as I am now - in the manner tham doing now, and you will come back into this room to be with me, here in the present tiSo, five years ago... a beautiful, happy, wonderful day... you'll be able to hear me, and -

answer me. Hi, I'm (insert your first name.) What's your name? ... what's today, that makso special to you?... where are we?... I'm kind of lost and confused, I don't know where wecould you tell me about this places...

[Note: Always wait for their response. Just continue asking questions about wthey are seeing and thinking. -Have about three minutes of dialogue there.]


34/50

Again, I would like you to turn back the clocks of time, we'll go back further until youjust 10 years old, but again it is a wonderful, loving time when you are 10 years old. Ayou will be able to hear me, and also to answer me. "Hi, I'm (insert your firstname.) Howyou?"... And what's you name?... Who's your best friend?... What grade are you in at schooWhat do you like to do for fun?

[Note: Make all the questions as vibrant as you can and respond to the personappropriately. Use a positive manner.]

Again now, we're turning back the pages of time... going back further and further uyou're only 5 years old, 5 years old. To a wonderful time when you were just 5 years old.

122

[Note: Again go a through about 3-4 minutes of dialogue work, asking them: Who they are? Where theyat?Who are their friends? What's important about today? What are they up to today? If they seem to be visupeople, ask them about the imagery that's around them. If they seem to be sensor ally bound ask them whthe textures are that are around them. Ask them how they're feeling, what they're doing, and get into theiprocess. Use the appropriate sensory channel for every client.]

Again, I'm turning back the pages of time, going back, further and further, before you wyou. Before you were you. But a beautiful happy, wonderful day. Tell me about where now. I'm a visitor - I seem to have got a little disoriented. Maybe you could help me by fiin the blanks. Tell me where we are, and what we're doing here, and what this day is goin

be like...

[Note: Ask general, friendly questions of your clients: Are they married? What are their names? What y

this? Who's king or queen or president? Listen to all their answers and ask non-leading questions to thQuestions that are general knowledge, questions they can fill in ... And that is the process. It's all dialwork. At the end of the session you may want to ask them questions like "What are the lessons inparticular life time that you have just reviewed? What lessons did you learned that might be carried into future lives? What other kind of information can you now give me that might help anperson? Look for tendencies within the client's self of their past - or projected past life - apparent in identities. It's very simple, but it is dialogue work. Then bring them back to the present, simply, by cou

them back closer and closer in time. You can count them from 1 to 10 or I to 20, coming forward and forin time - until they're back in the present time.]

Physical or Emotional Pain

(The Two Paths Technique)

[Note: This technique is especially good for groups.

A. You may use a formal induction or you may simply begin with the suggestion technique, depending on timeavailable.B. This technique is largely non-directional. Much of the imagery may not be necessary. The river, the villagemountain path, etc., may be necessary for those who need the extra guidance. For others, it may get in their way" slow down the imaginative process.]

Good, now I would like for you to take a deep breath (Pause.) and relax. We're going ttake an imaginary journey. A journey of healing, a journey of knowledge.

Relax your thoughts. Relax your body, and imagine that you are walking down a path crosses a series of low, rolling hills. (Pause.) The hills are not high, but you cannot see whalies beyond each one. (Pause.) Then, just ahead, you see that your path divides. Now, ther

a path to the left and a path to the right. (Pause.)One path leads to pain, one to freedom from pain. Which is which? Look carefully

signs that will help you decide which one to take.Trust your intuition. I'll sit quietly to give you a chance to decide. (10 second pause)

Good. Proceed down the path that interests you, and as you do, you notice other signs, otindications that you have, indeed, chosen the correct path.


36/50

Eventually we come to a wide, lazy river. Crossing it are two bridges. Each of the bridare very different from one another. One seems strong and well-built. The other, which lefirst to a small island, then the rest of the way across the river, seems a little rickety.

Which one is the one you should choose? Which one will take you where you want go?

I will sit quietly until you make your choice and meet me on the far side of the river.(Pause 20 to 30 seconds)

Now that you have crossed the bridge, once again there are two paths. One leads indarker part of the forest and you can see that it is well trod and clearly marked.

13 0

The other is patchy, not many people walk it, and it leads through open spaces betwthe patches of forest. Which path leads to knowledge about healing?

Choose and begin your journey. (Pause one minute)Eventually, your path leads to a clearing- In that clearing is a small hut. No one has b

here for a long time, and the door of the hut stands open. You enter, and on a table there

several objects.You may choose only one object, but the one you choose will aid in your healing. W

is the one for you?Choose, then leave the hut and continue down your path. (pause 10 seconds)As you continue down the path, you find a man and a woman seated at opposite side

I would like you to take a deep breath and relax all over. Find a peaceful area in your where you can just be in a beautiful place of your imagination. Choose a safe comfort

place, where you can just sit down, lay back and relax.Now I would like you to see in your mind time changing. Pretend for a moment that

perceptions are like a three-foot ruler. This ruler is clearly marked. The first third of the rrepresents the past, the second third of the ruler represents the present, the third foot onruler represents the future. All are equal right now.

132

You can imagine that you have the ability to change these markings. Right now noticed that they are equally balanced, but if you shift the ruler's measurement slightlyway, and then the other, youll notice that your focus changes. So, enlarging the misection where the "present" is... see that you can become more focused in the here and than you are in the past, or in thefuture. Your mind has the ability to make those discerning qualifications to it. Orif you change the ruler again and make much of the ruler be from the past... the

first section... you will be living more in the past than you are in the present orfuture.

I'm sure we can all remember times in our lives when we were very much living in the pNow we are, going to take and make another adjustment, we're going to make an adjustmethe future section in the ruler, and make the future part be the dominant section. Much morthe ruler area is designated for the future than it has been prior. There are times right now,when you think about living in the future... what you're planning to be doing for your nextvacation... Where you're going to be six months from now... so let's place this sliding ruler ifront of you now. Just project yourself into the near future, a week from now. You're at yo

job. What projects have you just finished completing, in a week from now? Look around

in your relationships, what have those folks just finished doing - and are closing in on doingnow. You are one week in the future. What have you just accomplished? Again, we'll takanother moment and take a giant step forward into the future, six months from now. Projecyourself six months from now into your situation and look at the individual that is in front oyou, six months from now. What decisions have you made during that time? What plans dyou now in carry within you? What changes have occurred on your job, in your relationshiin your environment? Make note of all these things as you step into that mind set. (Pause.)


39/50

After you have made note of those different things, let's take another step forward, year from now. Project yourself one year from now. You can see yourself in the future a from now. Go ahead, and have a seat with yourself. Settle in, and ask yourself how it's goWhat things have you accomplished? What's new in the world? Whats new in your What kind of things does your

133

future self have to share with you? Any messages or guidance that your future self can you that will help your current situation? Have a nice chat. I will give you 2 minutes of ctime to have a very nice chat. (Give the client 2 minutes of clock time.)

Very good. Now say good-bye to that future self, because we're going to go ahead agTime is going forward again, and you are projecting yourself to a vision or image of youfive years from now. How do you look? What are you currently doing? Haverelationships or job changed any?

Now, sit down with your five-year-future-self, and have a chat. Counsel with each ogive guidance, listen to guidance. I will give you two more minutes of clock time in which

will have a delightful chat. (Long Pause.)Now I would like you to step into the body, the body of the future self that you h

envisioned. And feel it, feel what it's like. Understand intellectually and emotionally whatis going to be like. And release yourself from it... and slowly we're readjusting the measustick, the ruler, bringing you back in time, back one year from now, back in time six mofrom now. You can wave at these folks as you go pass them, it's alright - back in timeweek from now, and now back in the present with me. Remember to review very specificin your mind all the details that you have experienced. And when you're finished, open eyes.

The 1000, Induction(For resistant clients and groups)

[Note: This is a special induction combined with a pain technique. The induction is for resistant clients.]

Begin with the number 1000. As you inhale, open your eyes. As you exhale, close your eyand say the number out loud. For example: Inhale open eyes... exhale close eyes and say "thousand". Inhaleopen eyes... exhale close eyes and say "Nine hundred ninety-nine", etc

Once you can no longer open your eyes, keep inhaling and exhaling in cadence everyone else, still saying the numbers out loud on the exhalation. (Pause.)


43/50

Once you can no longer speak, simply inhale and exhale along with whomever is stilltalking. If the rhythms of breathing are too difficult to match; just breathe at your own paceuntil entire room is quiet.

[Note: When entire room is silent, the leader continues with guided imagery.]

Let us pretend that your pain has become visible to you. You can see it, touch it and it. Notice what it looks like. Is it a color? Is it hard or soft? Is it cold or hot? What elsyou see about it? (Pause.)

Suddenly, out of nowhere, comes an idea.An idea so powerful, so perfect, that you know it is the exact right one. The idea tells

how to remove the pain. It tells you what imagery you need to reach in and compleremove the pain from you.

I will sit quietly while you quickly and easily release the imagery of pain and replawith the powerful imagery of healing. (Pause, for 2 minutes)

Good, now simply count from one to ten, feeling refreshed and relaxed as you return towaking consciousness. Simply count from one to ten to return your thoughts to this room.

[Note: We believe the "1000 Induction" is so effective because of the hugesymbolic size of the number 1000 and the monumental task that lies before the clients.

It works especially well in groups because as the least resistant client grow silent, the mostresistant hthe psychological pressure of being the only ones left who are still speaking. And it has the added advantaof allowing the clientto decide when he(she) has reached various levels of relaxation. And even if the

mostresistant has infected the group with his doubts (self-doubts), they are willing to set aside their resistaas the monotonous repetition overrides any psychological resistance.]

'Put suggestions here.'

Now, the first thing we should do is to relax the muscles in your eyes. All you nee

do is to open your eyes and focus them on a point of light - any source of illumination. Simlook toward a light, toward a source of illumination; it can be nothing more than a glimmea piece of metal. It can be any form of light, even a bright object - but not so bright that ithurt your eyes. Now, simply look toward the light, toward the source of illumination, ayour eyes to relax. Simply allow the muscles in your eyes to relax. As you look towardlight, toward the source of illumination, you need not force your eyes to close, and, bysame token, you need not force your eyes to remain open. Simply allow the muscles in eyes to relax. Continue looking toward the light, toward the source of illumination, until eyes begin to grow heavy; then allow them to close. Simply allow your eyes to close. (Reif necessary or say, "Good, very good, now close your eyes and imagine the light. Imagine

source of illumination. Visualize it in your mind and allow your thoughts to relax. Allow ybody to relax. Relax, relax and go deeper.") Good. Now, I'd like you to take a deep br(pause) and let it out, relaxing your thoughts, relaxing your body ... very good.
