Arm
Levitation Method I
Instructions to
Hypnotist
This induction (or deepening)
technique requires that the hypnotist gauge the pace of the suggestions
to the response of the subject.
Spoken to subject
I'm going to count from one
up to twenty. As I do, a light, easy, pleasant feeling moves into your
right hand and into your right arm. As I continue counting, that feeling
grows stronger and stronger. Soon you'll feel the first slight movement
of your fingers, a twitching of the muscles. (At this point, grasp the
subjects arm and demonstrate how it will move as you continue with the
following suggestions). Then your hand begins to lift. Your arm begins
to lift. It continues moving, lifting, and rising until it comes to rest
upon your body.
Now when you feel the movement
in your hand and in your arm, don't try to resist. You could resist if
you chose to, that is not why you are here. Just let your subconscious
mind do its perfect work. All right, now we are ready to begin.
Number One - The first light,
easy sensation moves into the fingertips of your right hand.
Number Two - The feeling is
spreading around beneath the fingernails.
Number Three - It is moving
up to the first joint of the fingers.
Number Four - Spreading to
the large knuckle across the back of the hand.
Number Five - the first slight
movements begin to start taking place. Slight movements of the fingers,
a twitching of the muscles.
Number Six - The light sensation
spreads all across the back of your hand.
Number Seven - Spreading over
and into your thumb.
Number Eight - Moving now all
through the palm of your hand.
Number Nine - The light sensation
spreads up and into your wrist. Think of your left hand now. You'll see
by comparison, your left hand is beginning to feel very, very heavy.
While on Number Ten your right
hand grows lighter and lighter with each number I count; just as light
as a feather floating in the breeze and even lighter. As light as a gas-filled
balloon. Just as a gas-filled balloon will rise and float towards the
ceiling, in the same way, by the time I reach the count of twenty, your
right hand is moving, lifting, rising and floating.
Number Eleven - The light sensation
has moved beyond your wrist now, spreading into your forearm.
Number Twelve, Thirteen - Once
again, think of your left hand. Your left hand has grown so heavy, it
feels as though it were made of marble or stone.
Number Fourteen - That light
sensation is spreading up toward your elbow.
Now on Fifteen - From the fingertips
all the way up to the elbow your hand has grown light, light and free.
It's beginning to lift. It's moving, lifting, rising and floating.
(At this point, if the hand
is not moving, gently lift the hand to get it started)
All right, Sixteen - Now your
arm is moving and lifting and rising. And as your arm is lifting, you're
going deeper and deeper into hypnosis.
Seventeen - Your hand continues
moving, lifting and rising now until it comes to rest over on your body.
Eighteen - Moving, lifting,
rising, floating. Right on over now and when your hand comes to rest upon
your body, at that time your eyelids lock tightly closed. Your eyelids
lock so tightly closed at that point, the more you try to open them the
tighter they're locking closed.
Nineteen - Your hand is getting
ready to come down and rest upon your body.
Twenty - Now your hand has
come to rest upon your body and at the same time, your eyelids are locked
so tightly closed, the more you try to open your eyelids the tighter they
are locking closed.
That's fine, stop trying and
go deeper into trance.
