Hand
Yardstick Test
(Marshall Sylver)
- (Transcribed From An Actual Show)
In a moment I'm going to tell
you to begin concentrating on one of your hands.
The moment that you do, you
may concentrate either on your right hand or your left hand, it really
doesn't matter which
You will concentrate on a hand
that is free and unencumbered
(You will concentrate on a
hand that is free of you and the person beside you)
The moment you begin concentrating
on that hand you will become aware of many things
You will become aware of a
(warm, relaxing,) peaceful sensation (flowing) going through your body
The moment you begin concentrating
on that hand, that hand will begin to feel light and relaxed
In fact, the more you concentrate,
the lighter that hand will seem until that hand and begins rising and
lifting, lifting and rising, relaxing itself right toward the ceiling,
as if there were a giant bouquet of helium ballons attached to your wrist
Allow your eyelids to remain
closed and begin concentrating now
See that hand in your minds
eye, and as you do you become aware of the feeling of the material beneath
your fingertips
As you concentrate on that
hand you become aware of the feeling of the chair beneath your fingertips,
of the floor beneath your fingertips and that hand begins to feel light
and relaxed
As you concentrate one of your
fingers will move slightly
It may be your index finger,
your middle finger, your ring finger, your little finger or your thumb.
One of your fingers will move slightly and your hand begins to relax and
feel light
If I touch your wrist it feels
as if I am attaching another bouquet of ballons to your wrist
Its now getting lighter still
until it begins rising and lifting, lifting and rising beginning to relax
itself right off of your lap, right off of the chair, right into the air
Each and everytime I touch
your wrist getting lighter still, `til now it begins rising and lifting,
lifting and rising relaxing further and further up, your concentrating
perfectly
Rising and lifting, lifting
and rising simply letting go
As I count backwards from 3
to 1 it feels as if those ballons are filling with more helium and are
moving right into the air
on # 3 rising and lifting,
lifting and rising
ballons filling with more helium
3,
2, rising and lifting, lifting
and rising
relaxing further and further
up
on the next number, number
1 those ballons expand to 10 times their original size relaxing further
and further into the air
on the next number, number
1 those ballons expand to 10 times their original size relaxing further
and further into the air
3,
2,
and 1 rising and lifing, lifting
and rising
pulling your entire body along
with it
thats fine your concentrating
perfectly
leave it right there
In a moment I'm going to count
from 1 to 3,
The moment I say the number
3 you will open your eyes, you will look at your hands and see just how
well youve concentrated
The moment I say the number
3 you will open your eyes, you will look at your hands and see just how
well youve concentrated
1, 2 and 3
