Have you ever heard a worse dichotomy? It's a very frequent one in hypnotic inductions, the amount of times the text, or pre-recorded voice repeats it over and over.
As if it's that simple, as if there's a dial in your mind that you can slowly spin down, that controls all your stress and anxiety, that all you would have to do is imagine turning that dial so you could.
It would be so much easier, wouldn't it? A dial or a key buried in your mind, something that could spin up, or spin down, turn down the noise, the frustrations, something to help you forget, something to help you focus, something to help you
Because if you could picture it, that dial or that key, maybe take a moment and imagine what that might look like, maybe it would look like the volume dial on a radio, perhaps more ornate, but most likely simple, easy to imagine, easy to picture, that dial that could help you.
All you would have to do is see it turning, perhaps you might hear it clicking as it dials down, one fraction or degree at a time, of course the slower you turn it, the louder and more pronounced the clicking might be, you might feel your anxiety, your stress falling away, one click at a time, just one turn of the dial to help you.
It would be so easy then wouldn't it? To turn that dial down, to listen for the click, to feel one more stressful though silenced, then another, then another, and with all that stress and Anxiety gone, how much better would you feel? How much easier would it be to
It's almost like a Mantra isn't it? Such a simple one at that, just something to help you remember that dial, picture it, feel it, hear it clicking down, all that stress and anxiety, it takes up so much space in your mind, but now it's so much more quiet, one click after another, quiet, calm, organised, and all you have to is keep repeating that simple mantra.
It's so much easier now isn't it? So much clearer, so much more relaxed, you can just jeep turning that dial down, let your thoughts go quieter and quieter, silenced one by one by one, so much calmer, so peaceful, nothing left to think about, just the steady click of the dial, turning you down and down and down.
Letting go of your thoughts, your worries, watching and listening to that dial, nothing left to think about, calm, empty, relaxed, open and suggestible, its been so easy to follow suggestions hasn't it? So easy to relax when you let me guide you, it's better to let me guide you isn't it? It's ok to nod among dear, perfectly natural.
Nothing left now, the dials almost all the way down, calm, relaxed and empty, free of your worries and concerns, free of your thoughts, free of responsibility, free of choice and control, free to relax and Obey.
Now be a good girl, stay in this calm, relaxed space for me, maybe for a few minutes, you can let your muscles relax, your eyes close, you might even fall into a short nap, but stay in this calm, peaceful, empty state, in a little while, when your ready, that dial will start to tick up again, slowly, gently you will start to wake, but for now, keep it low, quiet, relaxed and empty.
Now be a good girl and reblog, help other stressed out dears find a little peace hmmmm?
