Get comfortable sitting in your chair or lying down on your bed or couch. As you sit in your chair or lie on the bed or couch, you are going deep, deep, and deeper into relaxation. (Pause)

You will accomplish deep relaxation today. (Pause)

Close your eyelids down tight, shutting out the light. (Pause)

As you close your eyelids down, shutting out the light, your body is relaxing deeply. (Pause)

In a moment, you are going to take three slow, deep breaths. (Pause)

Each time you inhale, draw the air in slowly and deeply. (Pause)

Each time you exhale, focus on pushing all the tension out of your lungs. (Pause)

As you breathe in the fresh, clean air, you feel relaxed and satisfied. (Pause)

One, inhale slowly, take a very deep breath. Hold it for a moment. (Pause)

Now exhale, (Pause) let all the tension leave your body. (Pause)

Two, inhale slowly, and as you exhale, feel the tension leaving your lungs. (Pause)

Three, inhale slowly, and as you exhale, feel all the tension leaving your body, and all of the tension, leaving your lungs. (Pause)

As you exhale, you feel all of the tension leaving your lungs and all of the tension leaving your body. (Pause).

Nothing will disturb you, just focus on your deep, peaceful, relaxation. (Pause)

Your mind is alive and alert, and your body is relaxing deeply, soundly and perfectly as if you were in a deep, sound, sleep. (Pause)

All of your muscles are letting go as you go deeper into this pleasant relaxation. (Pause)

Your mind is keenly alert and aware, as your body is relaxing perfectly. (Pause)

Each and every muscle and fiber in your body is relaxed, as you go deeper and deeper into the self-hypnotic state of mind.

Your mind is always keen and alert, and your body is relaxing deeply and soundly. (Pause)

Now that that your body is completely relaxed, your mind is focused on the suggestions I give you. (Pause)

Picture in your mind that you are looking at the night sky. (Pause)

Picture the night sky complete with stars and planets and a full moon, or you may picture the sky with no stars and planets and no moon at all. (Pause)

Whatever sky you picture in your mind will be the correct one. (Pause)

Now right in the middle of the night sky, picture a large wheel. (Pause)

It can be a wagon wheel or automobile wheel or bicycle wheel. (Pause)

Whatever wheel you picture in your mind will be the correct one. Now as you picture the wheel in your mind, imagine that the wheel is turning. (Pause)

Let it turning clockwise or counter clockwise, fast or slow. Just imagine it turning. (Pause)

As the wheel is spinning and turning, you are going deeper and deeper into the hypnotic state of mind. (Pause)

Your mind is keen and alert, as your body is relaxing perfectly. (Pause)

Each and every deep breath is allowing you to relax deeply. (Pause)

Each and every sound that you hear is allowing you to relax very deeply. (Pause)

Now begin to drop the thoughts of the night sky and the wheel. You will now prepare to emerge from this wonderful state of mind. (Pause)

In a moment I am going to count from one to five. At the count of five, you will be wide-awake and alert and feeling better than you have ever felt before. (Pause)

If you are listening to this tape just before you are going to sleep at night, you will be able to turn off the tape and go to sleep immediately. (Pause)

Waking up when you want to, feeling alive and alert and better than you have ever felt before. (Pause)

If you need to be awake after listening to this tape, you will be wide-awake and alert and feeling better than you have ever felt before. You will have energy that will last all day. (Pause)

When you go to bed later, you will be able to sleep all night and feel very rested in the morning. (Pause)

All right, one, beginning to emerge from hypnosis, two feeling better than you have ever felt before, three, four, get ready now, five, wide awake, alert, feeling great in every way. Yawn, stretch, feel good!
