Now, I’d like you to imagine, to the best of your abilities, that you are on the tenth floor in an elevator. Imagine how it’s interior looks, the temperature of the room, and any other details that come to you, as vividly as possible.
In a moment, I am going to ask you to press the button to go to the first floor. I will let you know which floor we’ve made it to as we go down. And at each floor we reach, you will descend deeper down, feeling oh so relaxed, knowing the state of trance you stop on will be wonderful, full of relaxation, and so deep and comfortable you couldn’t possibly want to leave.
Press that button, noticing everything you can about how it feels and sounds, along with your trance and relaxation deepening. And in a moment, we’re going to reach floor…
Nine, just relaxing, noticing just how comfortable you are…
Eight, maybe noticing how your feet feel standing in the elevator, maybe leaning against the corner of the elevator, or feeling yourself adjust to the movement going down, knowing you are secure and safe as we reach…
Seven, feeling yourself continue to go down… Smoothly, at a comfortable rate as we reach
Six, just one… long… deep ride down deeper into trance… as you slide in to
Five… halfway there, taking a deep breath… and
Four… feeling yourself continue to go deeper as you exhale… as we begin to go by
Three… finding it just so easy to let yourself… drift… down…
Two… just so easily… only a few more moments before
One… comes… so deep… so relaxed…
