"Alright squirt, go ahead and try it," Sam said, with a shrug. "But only for a little while, I do have to get back to my essay paper soon."
Lily barely resisted the urge to bounce in excitement at the idea of being able to do this, and being able to do it to her big brother. "Ok, ok... um... sit down in your chair, ok? And turn so you're facing your wall."
"Ok, fine," he said, sitting.
Lily started giving her instructions, a little hesitantly at first "No, um. Relax your arms, kinda let them go sorta limp. Yeah, like that. Ok, spread your legs out, just to get comfortable. All I want is for you to feel comfortable. Yeah, ok, that's good, just lean back a little. Mm-hmm, that's good."
She looked over her brother's posture, and positioned herself behind him. "That feels comfortable, doesn't it? Ok, now, just listen to my voice. It's really easy, all you have to do is feel your arms and legs go kinda weightless and limp, just so relaxed. So relaxed. Ok, now I want you to breathe in through your nose, deeply and slowly, then breathe out through your nose, slowly, relaxed. Yes, in, slowly, calm, hold it a moment, and now out, relaxed. Yes, just like that, you're doing very good. In, slow, calm, and hold, quiet, and out through the nose again. Very good. Mmmhmm, in. That's right, that's good. And out. Keep breathing just like that, slowly, and relaxed. All you need to do is to keep listening to my voice and relaxing."
She moved a bit around, slowly, getting a view of her brother's posture. "As you keep breathing like that, I want you to concentrate on your feet and your toes. Feel them go completely relaxed. Not using any muscles, just letting them completely and totally relax. And now, feel that feeling of relaxation start to creep up your feet, from the toes to the heels. That feeling is spreading, and it feels very very good. So relaxing. You want it to go further, to climb up your ankle. And I'm going to give you permission now, to let that feeling start to slowly spread up to your ankle, and slowly climb up your shins, all the way up to your knees. And it spreads so slowly, so you feel it relaxing you deeply and totally. Yes. Just like that. Listening and relaxing."
"And now you feel it in your fingertips too, don't you? That's good, it feels wonderful in the feet, so let it feel good in your hands too. That's right, slowing going up your hands, all the way to the wrist. And now a little further too, starting to slowly go up to the elbows. Yes, just like that."
"And now feel that feeling go past your knees, and past your elbows, spreading up to your hips, and up to your shoulders. Your arms and legs, so completely and totally relaxed now. Feeling so good. And slowly spreading now throughout your torso, from your arms and legs to your chest. So relaxed, so good. Everything relaxing below your neck. And now it's your neck's turn too. That's right, slowly relax it, let your head fall slowly. And let that feeling go through your head too. Everything so relaxed, and calm, just listening to my voice. Let the feeling spread to your eyelids, feel them closing, so relaxed, just for a moment maybe. Or for longer. You don't need to have your eyes open to listen to my voice, so let them close. Yes, very good. You're feeling so calm, and relaxed, just listening to my voice. My voice is all you hear. Listening to my voice and relaxing, it feels so good, so peaceful. That's all you need right now. Very good. You're very good at this. Now I'm going to count down from 10 to 0, and when I do, you'll feel yourself falling into such a calm and relaxed state, that all you need to do is hear my voice and do what I say. Your mind can take a break, just relax, yes. All you need is to hear my voice and then follow its instructions. So relaxing. If you wanted to stop, you could just move, but you just don't want to. This feels so good, and you want more. That's all you want, and all you need to do is listen to my voice now. Ready for the countdown now.
10. So relaxed so calm,
9. Breathing slowly in and out
8. Feeling the relaxation increase
7. Slowly falling deeper and deeper
6. Relaxed, feeling so good
5. You could get up, but you just don't want to.
4. You want to go deeper instead
3. Feeling like you're on the edge.
2. It's time to go completely under hypnosis. Feel it.
1. Ready to go completely under. Just waiting for my command.
Zero."
Lily barely stopped herself from clapping as her brother's body visibly went under, slowly at first, and then almost with a start at the final number. It was obvious he was under now. And it was very easy for you to do. The only real question is, what next?
