Relax, begin to relax.  Focus on your breathing and allow your body to relax.  Begin to focus on the muscles in your neck and allow all the muscles in your neck to relax. Next, focus on all the muscles along your back and allow your muscles in your back to drift down.   Allowing your body to relax you feel your body drifting down deeper and deeper.   Allow all the muscles in your shoulders to drift down as you feel your body drifting down as your enter into a state of relaxation. As you feel your arms relax, you allow your body to relax as you feel yourself relaxing down deeper and deeper.  The deeper you breathe, the more relaxed you become, the more relaxed you become the deeper you breathe. Now feel the relaxation moving into your arms and drifting down your arms into your hands.  Feel yourself relaxing down as you allow your hands to relax.  You feel your body sinking down deeper and deeper within the chair.   Now allow the relaxation to move into the lower and deeper part of your back as you allow yourself to relax.   Now as you act as if your legs are relaxing down deeper and deeper. Feel the muscles in your thighs relax as the relaxation drifts down into the lower, deeper part of your legs, Now allow this relaxation to move slowly into your feet as you allow your feet to relax. The deeper you breathe, the more relaxed you become, the more relaxed you become, the deeper you breathe.

This is an excellent illustration of the beginning of a hypnotic induction that can be used on stage or in an office to get a person into a deep hypnotist state.  Gradual relaxation is an excellent hypnotic induction technique.Hypnosis Sleep Pic.jpg
