Progressive Relaxation Induction is one of the easiest ways to hypnotize someone. It is especially useful for those who find it difficult to relax.
The induction is mainly used to relax the specific areas of the body to relieve the tension in chest, legs or elsewhere. Progressive Relaxation Induction takes nearly 30-40 minutes, so it is very important to concentrate your client (or yourself if you are doing self hypnosis) on it.
The induction helps to relax all of the muscles in your body one at a time. You should start the relaxation from your head, then down to the shoulders, feet etc. If you have tension in the particular area of your body, you can start the relaxation from there.
While doing induction, have the person you are hypnotizing to sit or lie down in a comfortable position (if you are doing self hypnosis you should do the same) , close the eyes and take deep breath.
So, here is how a Progressive Relaxation Induction will be:
“Make yourself comfortable. Concentrate on your right arm and tense your right arm. [Pause] Now relax your right arm. [Pause and repeat three times] Now concentrate on your left arm. Tighten your left arm. [Pause] Now relax your left arm [Pause and repeat three times]. . .
Repeat this instruction for all areas of your body.
Then continue saying this “And as I count from 5 down to zero, every count will represent deep relaxation and you will feel the body relaxing even more and deeper and deeper… And when I reach zero, you are going to go deep asleep. Now, 5… Letting go… four… three… Two… One…zero… deep sleep!”
As you see, Progressive Relaxation Induction is very simple and easy to learn. Try to follow the induction on yourself and you will see how your muscle will be relaxed.
