Close your eyes and take in a few deep breaths and relax with
each breath that you take. I am now picking up your right
hand. (Pick up subjects hand as if you were going to shake
hands)
In just a moment I am going to have you open your eyes and look
at me. I will then count from three down to one. On the count of
one your eyes will close again and your whole body will feel
loose and limp. You will quickly enter a hypnotic sleep. Do you
understand? (Wait for a nod or a yes signal)
Now, I want you to open your eyes and try to keep them open
until I reach the number one.
Three , your eyes are feeling heavy, try to hold them open.
Two, almost there, on the count of one they may close and feel
wonderful.
(At the moment that the eyes close, firmly pull the right arm in
a downward movement, while delivering the command of sleep)
