"For a moment here, I want you to move all your toes, then your ankles, then flex your legs at your knees, and then your legs at your hips.  Take a deep breath and then exhale.  Now move your neck.  Now move your arms at your shoulders.  Now at the elbow.  Now at your wrists.  Now move all your fingers.

"Good.  By moving these muscles, your body applied electrical energy which cause them to tension.  Now, as you are here, you are feeling these muscles relax...feeling that electrical energy lessening from the muscles.  This relaxation feels really good.

"Ten, just concentrate on relaxing just your feet. Let all the muscles in your feet feel really comfortable. Let all the muscles in your toes feel very loose and limp; very relaxed. You can only hear my voice.  And this wonderful wave of relaxing pleasure runs all the way down your ankle, passed your heal, all the way down to your toes.

"Nine, just relax your leg muscles, knees, thighs, and shins. No longer worry about your feet. Just let all of the muscles in your legs get very loose and limp; very comfortable and very, very relaxed. Very relaxed. Let your thigh muscles relax. Let all the muscles in your shins get very loose. And this wonderful wave of relaxing pleasure runs down your legs, passed your knees, past your ankles, all the way down to your toes. Very relaxed, and very, very comfortable.

"At eight, relax your neck, back, chest and stomach muscles. Take a deep breath...and as you exhale, feel how your body naturally relaxes. It’s a good feeling. Let all the muscles in your neck feel really loose.  You can only hear my voice. Let your stomach muscles feel very relaxed. And this wonderful wave of relaxing pleasure splashes onto your neck, then runs down your back, passed your chest, past your waist, passed your knees, past your ankles, all the way down to your toes. Very relaxed, and very, very comfortable.

"Seven. Now relax your arms, hands, and all your fingers. Let all the muscles in your fingers relax.  If something is bothering you, fix it and become more comfortable. Also, if something should happen that is life threatening, you  will immediately awaken, feeling awake, alert, and concerned, and you will do all you can to fix any such problem so that it cannot harm you or the people for whom you care. Let all the muscles in your arms feel really comfortable. And this wonderful wave of relaxing pleasure comes in from your fingertips, pushing all of the stress and fatigue out of your body. It feels so good. It comes up your arms, splashing on your neck, running down your back, down your legs, all the way down to your toes. Very relaxed and very, very comfortable.

"Six. You might feel like you are awake, like you are not hypnotized, but, for some reason, you are very relaxed. If you feel this, this is normal.  Don't worry about it.  You might feel like millions of cotton balls gently pressing down all over. If you feel this, this is gravity.  Don't worry about it.  I want you to imagine that you're floating down on a cloud. The farther down you float, the more relaxed you get. The more relaxed you get, the better you feel, and the better you feel causes you to float down even more. Always getting more relaxed. Always feeling better.  Always floating farther and farther down.

"Five. Your feet and your legs feel great, just the way they are. Take a really deep breath.  And you find that you can only hear my voice.

"Four. As you exhale, relax. Your neck, back, chest, and stomach muscles feel really good. Your arms, hands and your fingers feel just fine, just the way they are.

"Three. And you are floating even farther down, always more relaxed. The more relaxed you get, the better you feel, and now you are feeling really good.

"Two. And you will remember everything you need to remember. To forget means you know something and then have to black the thought out. On the other hand, it is so easy to not remember some things. We will try to remember things you have had to forget, and if need be, make them so that you just don't remember them. Take a deep breath...and relax......

"One."

[Deepening, using Visual Imagery]

"You find yourself in a wide open field. This meadow is a valley surrounded by high hills. You can see evergreens and forest on the hills and mountains beyond, in all directions. There is a stream a safe distance away.

"Looking around, you see animals, birds, butterflies and other insects. Nothing here is giving you any reason to be afraid. You only feel relaxed, and you feel you want to explore this area. "

[Note:  the easiest way, in my opinion, to deepen the effect of hypnosis is to make an objective statement, and to follow with a subjective question.   For example:]

• You see a house.  What color is it?
• There is someone coming out.  Do you know this person?
• Look into the sky.  What do you see?
• You hear people talking inside.  What are they saying?
• You drink some water from the stream.  How does it taste?

[In this way, the objective statement gives you control of direction, while the subjective question draws upon the person's imagination, and brings them deeper into their subconscious.]

"Where do you find yourself in this memory? Who is with you? What are you doing here in this memory?  Okay, good."

[Middles]
"Now, I want you to go back into your mind and find yourself in a room with white walls, flourescent lighting, a white vinyl floor, and in the middle of the room, a garbage can with a hinged, though tight fitting, lid.  As you lift the lid and look inside, you see it's absolutely clean.  Looking to the wall, you see a friendly looking red button, much like you would find on an arcade video game, and as you press it, you hear a light squeak from inside the garbage can.

"As you now look inside the can, you see that there is an elevator lift inside it.  You climb in and press the down button, and it takes you to a well lit concrete basement room.  It's clean and huge, going on for many feet in all directions.  This is the place where you will now move each and every memory that bothers you.  By moving any memory here, you will have the ability to retrieve it at will, but until you need it, you will find that you will effortlessly not remember anything you place here, and so, by not remembering it, you will have control over the memory...and it will never affect you in any way ever again.

"Now, you take the lift back up and climb out of the can.”

“I want you, in your subconscious mind, to isolate all of the individual emotional problems you have.  I want you to sort them from the worst problem to the mildest, then to label each with a unique name for each problem, and to number them from one to however many there are.  When you are done numbering them, I want you to tell me how many there are.  This number we will call Problemax.

“Okay, now I want you to run the following process for me.  We will begin at the problem which you have numbered “one.”  You’ll run the entire process for that one problem, and when you are done, you will move to problem number two and run it again, and so forth, for each problem up to an including the Problemax.

“I want you, in your subconscious mind, to isolate all of the individual feelings that trigger you to the most current problem.  You must understand, there's usually not just one feeling.  It's probably several feelings and events.  I want you to sort them from the strongest feeling to the weakest, to label each with a unique name for each emotion, and to number them from one to however many there are.  When you are done numbering them, I want you to tell me how many there are.  This number we will call Maximum.

“Okay, now I want you to run the following process for me.  We will begin at the emotion which you have numbered “one.”  You’ll run the entire process for that one emotion, and when you are done, you will move to number two and run it again, and so forth, for each emotion up to an including the Maximum.

“The word Current will reflect both the Current emotion and the Current number for which you are running the routine this time.  If this is the first time through, Current will be set to the first emotion, otherwise, it will reflect the emotion for whichever time through this is.

“This next section is called the Memory Revision process, and if we call upon it at any time after this section of the session, it can run one-time through.  Each time you run it, you will find that it’s even easier to do, and find this routine will run faster and faster each time, as your mind gets better at it each time, until it reaches its optimum speed.

“Okay, I want you to go back in your life memory to that point just before you ever felt the current emotion.  We will call this point, ‘The Beginning.’

“I want you to find yourself watching a TV show about what happened to you to create the feeling, and I want you to tell me everything that happened, without any fear, for it is not happening to you now, it’s just something on your personal TV.  Watch what happened to you.”

“Okay, now I want you to go back to the beginning, and this time, I want you to use your very current age in life state of mind, as well as your imagination, to create an alternative version of this situation, and let it play out so that you create an alternative emotional response to the situation, and that emotional response is more satisfying and better for you than the original.”

“I want you to take the original memory, which begins at The Beginning, and to place it in the garbage can.  I want you to use the memory you just created and insert it in the place where the old memory existed, and then to forgive yourself for having held these emotions for so long.  Cry if you choose, to let yourself be free.  This is the end of the Memory Revision process routine.

“Now, I want you to add one to the current number.  If that number is less than or equal to Maximum, I want you to run the Memory revision process again.

“When you have reached Maximum, go to the next Problem and run the routine again and again until you have reached Problemax.  Raise your hand when you are done.

“Lower your hand. Now, I want you, from the beginning of your life memory, to the present, to relive your entire life, but now using these new memories as part of your life memory.  Whenever you discover any other situation, by your own choice, that you feel needs to have the Memory Revision routine to be run,  you will do so, internally, at your own will, without telling me anything, and you will discover that your mind will run it very automatically and for your health and welfare, based solely on your needs and desires.  Raise your hand when you are done.”

[Beginning of Emotional Mixer Board routine]

"Now, you find yourself in front of a panel, much as you would see at a concert.  It looks like a  sound mixing board, but it is actually an emotion mixing board.  Each knob is numbered from 1 to 10, and each has an arrow showing what the knob it set.  Above the mixing board is a video screen.  At the moment, your picture is on the screen.  When the image changes to someone else, each knob automatically changes to a new setting.  You will note that to the left are negative emotions, and to the right are positive emotions.  Some of the knobs have no labels, for they are for emotions you have yet to label, but some of these you feel the emotions anyway.

"Tell me...what setting do you have for happiness?  Okay, I want you to take this all the way up to ten.  How does that feel? Do you see that all you do to want to feel happy...is to feel happy?  You are in total control of all these emotions.  What setting do you have for joy?  Turn this one up.  Do you like that feeling?  You are in control.  What setting is pain on?  Turn that one down.  Do you like the feeling without it?  You are in control.  With this newfound control, I want you to set all of these knobs to settings you would like to have every day.  Be creative.  As you change the knob settings you will immediately benefit from the action.  Move and set every knob, and then raise your hand when the settings are fine."

[anywhere from 1 second to 1 minute elapses]

"You can lower your hand now.  What changed?

"Okay, I want you to change the picture on the screen until you find someone to whom you find that you absolutely hate.  I'd like you to consider something.  By hating this person, the only person you are hurting...is you.

"I'd like you to consider that, in the world, there are basically five groups.  There are people whom you know, people whom you know and like, people whom you know and don't like, people whom you don't know personally but like, people whom you don't know personally but don't like, and people whom you don't know and have no emotion about them one way or another.

"I'd like you to now consider going through your list of people whom you know and don't like, and instead of allowing yourself to have negative emotions towards these people, to have no emotions at all for them, but placing them into that group of 'people whom you don't know personally but don't like.'  This is a choice on your part, and a good one, for you will still keep the memory that you won't let them hurt you again, but you will stop hurting yourself as well.  One by one, go through these people, bringing their picture onto the screen, and then setting all of the dials to the lowest setting so you are totally numb in reference to them.  The easiest way to do this is to push that green button on the panel that is marked 'Clear All.'  Good.  Now do the next...and the next.  As you do this, you will find that it comes easier and easier, and it goes faster and faster.  Please raise your hand to tell me when you are done."

[1 to 3 minutes elapse]

"You can lower your hand now.  I want you to now go to each and every knob on your mixing board.  Beginning with Happiness, I want you to go back to just before, in your life memory, you ever felt that emotion.  I want you now to find yourself sitting in front of a TV set, with a remote control in your hand, watching a program about that event which caused you to feel this single emotion.

"If you find that the reason for the emotion was due to a poor decision on your part, I invite you to revise your thinking on how you would have made a different decision and processed the information better.

"If your thinking is acceptable, keep the memory and then go to the next knob, get the next emotion, and proceed again.

"If at any time, you find a memory too horrible, please press the white button on your remote control.  This will place the memory for that emotion into the garbage can, if it was not already there, and skip to the next emotion.

"Continue through this process, even for emotions of which you have no titles yet.  As you do this, you will find that it comes easier and easier, and it goes faster and faster.  Raise your hand to let me know when you are through."

[3-5 minutes]

"You may now lower your hand.  Through this process, you have set up a series of mental machines that you have used to process information which you have stored.  You will find that they will serve you now for the rest of your life, just as you have used them, so that instead of having a reactive existence, you will have an active existence, and your life will go along more smoothly, for you will be able to digest any situation at your leisure, that no one can ever bother you, and you will no longer be giving up control in any way.  You have total control, but at your leisure.

"From now on, let yourself enjoy life, one moment at a time.  Take time to look at the clouds and let your imagination go.  Be a kid again, and let your heart be free.  This being a grown up concept is for the birds.  You can be mature without being ancient.  Live a little...heck, live a lot.  At any time that you want, squeeze your fist for a moment and turn up your happiness. You're in such control, you don't even need to squeeze your fist...just do it.  Your emotions are at your control...not the other way around.

"During this session, you have spent time reorganizing the way you process information.  It will come to you, as it always has, but now you can relax, identify it, digest it, process it, and live it.  You're safer for you will, by your own will, be a new person, not because someone told you to be, but because you read through that script, you edited it to your wants and desires, you found someone you trusted to help you do the session, or made this tape, if this is an audio tape of your own making, and you know that this is what you want.  You are in control of the best part of you.

[End of “Garbage Can for Garbage Thoughts” and “Emotional Mixer Board” routines, which can be removed in future sessions]

[Here is where to place other “Middles” as found in the rest of the website or anywhere in hypnosis texts or your own writing]

I want you now to go back to the very earliest memories of learning words, only this time, you will be experiencing it with your current age-in-life state-of-mind.  I want you to build a new foundation for your word-association memory system, and then I want you to go through your entire life and anytime you learned a new type of word association process, you will include it within your programming.  At the same time, while you are building this new word association structure, you are to pay particular attention to nouns, for you are also rebuilding a stronger association and memory system for them.  As you do this, you will find that it comes easier and easier, and it goes faster and faster.  Raise your hand when you are done.”

[Start of Key Word sequence]

“Lower your hand.”
"I want you to set a key word.  This word can only be used by you, internally.  The only way this word can work is for you to take a deep breath...then take a couple normal breaths...and when you choose to take a second deep breath, you say this word as you exhale.  As you say this word, to yourself, you will immediately close your eyes and slip down into a deep, relaxing sleep, all the way to as far down as you are currently rested...or even further.  Every time you do this form of self-relaxation...self-hypnosis...meditation...or whatever word makes you feel better...you find that you can go even deeper than you did the last time.

"No one can ever speak this word to you and have any effect upon you.  Let us set this word now...and the word is 'Whist.' "
[or any other word that you would choose...I suggest Whist as it's one syllable, uncommon in the US English language, and easy to say in a whisper]

[Post-Hypnotic Suggestions, if you have any, would go here]

[Ending]
"Okay, now I am going to count from five to one.  When I get to one, you will totally awaken from this place, this state of mind, and you will feel energized, you will feel love, you will feel great joy and happiness, and it's all because you simply want to feel that way.

"Five...four...three...two...one...wake up..."
