“My folks onstage: I just need everybody to put your feet flat on the floor. Put your hands loosely in your laps.
Keep your eyes on me at all times. I am your focal point. What I want you to do is keep those eyes on me until you are ready to close them.
Whenever you are ready to close them, then let those eyes go closed.
Once they are closed, keep them closed.
Don’t anybody get up and walk off unless I ask you to, because your safety is my number one concern.
What we’re going to do right now is start breathing - all the way in and all the way out.
Great job. Fill those lungs up as much as you can. Then let it all the way out.
Fantastic. Continue on until I tell you to stop. All the way in and all the way out.
Your lips will relax. You’re body automatically relaxes. You can breathe all the way in - and all the way out.
Now, whenever you’re ready to close those eyes, let those eyes go closed, but continue to breathe all the way in and all the way out.
Fantastic. All the eyes are closed.
Breathe in as deep as you can. Let it all the way out.
Continue that nice deep easy breathing until I tell you to stop. All the way in and all the way out.
Never asleep, just relaxed.
You can always hear the sound of my voice.
Whether you hear the noise in the room is entirely up to you, but you can always hear the sound of my voice.
Fill those lungs up as much as you can. Let it all the way out. As we do this demonstration, you are going notice the person next to you, the chair beneath you, the floor beneath your feet. Always you will hear the sound of my voice as you breathe all the way in and all the way out.
Fantastic. You are doing a great job.
What we are going to do right now is I’m going to count from three back to one as you breathe all the way in and all the way out.
I want you to put your focus on your neck muscles.
When I get to number one, I want you to let those neck muscles relax completely. Let your head roll forward and your chin
Breathe in deep all the way out. Three.
Two. And one.
Let those neck muscles relax.
Fantastic. It takes a lot of energy to hold that head up there. I want you to continue to breathe all the way in and all the way out.
From this point on, with every breath you exhale, I want you to let the relaxation double.
Let your body get heavier and heavier in that chair. Fantastic. You are doing a great job.
Don’t realize the way it’s working for you. Just let it go. Let those bodies get heavier and heavier.
Breathe all the way in and all the way out.
Every breath lets that relaxation become more and more complete.
Now, as you breathe all the way in and all the way out, I want you to imagine you are at the top of an elevator, an escalator, a very long flight of stairs.
You are doing a great job.
You always want to fill those lungs up as much as you can and then let it all the way out.
Fantastic.
As you are breathing all the way in and all the way out, we’re letting that relaxation double.
I want you to imagine there is a very heavy weight pushing on the back of your head with every breath you exhale.
Let your bodies go.
If you want to lean on the person next to you, that’s fine. We’re a team. We work together here.
Nobody gets singled out. Nobody gets picked on. Just let it go. Breathe all the way in and all the way out. Feel that weight getting heavier and heavier.
As you breathe all the way in and all the way out, the relaxation is automatically doubling.
The weight is getting heavier and heavier. I’m going to count from ten back to one.
With every number that I count back, we’re going to let that relaxation double again.
It’s a synergistic thing.
See the smart ones go really quick right now. Breathe it in deep. Let it all the way out. Ten, nine.
As I count from ten back to one, we’re letting that relaxation double and we’re going to touch every one of you on the back of the head.
When I touch you on the back of the head, it will not disturb you.
It will not disturb you. It will not disturb you. It will help you to go nice and deep.
When I touch the back of the head, just let your body collapse. Let loose like a rag doll.
Ten, nine, eight—deep breath right here. Everybody just sink into the chair.
Reach out. Let that body just sink into that chair. Wonderful. Ten, nine, eight---deep breath right here.
All we ask is let that body sink into that chair. Fantastic. Let it go.
All the way out.
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two—everybody take in a deep breath.
Let it all the way out at once. Let your body melt into the chair. Melt into the person next to you.
We’re a team. We’re doing a great job.
Now, here is what we are going to do to see who the really good ones are right now.
When I say the number one, I want you to take one of your arms.
I want you to make that arm totally straight, totally stiff, and totally rigid just like a piece of steel.
The tighter you can make that arm, the deeper you go, the deeper you go, the better you are going to feel.
Here we go and one.
Take that arm now and make it totally straight, totally stiff, and totally rigid.
Concentrate on that arm.
Great job, you guys. Great job. Breathe in deep.
When I say the number two, if you haven’t already, I want you to sit up straight, eyes closed.
Take the arm and put it straight out in front of you like you are trying to punch somebody right in the nose.
When you do this, make that fist so tight you couldn’t possibly make it any tighter.
Here we go and two.
Sit up straight, eyes closed, take that arm straight out in front of you.
Breathe in deep. With every breath, make that arm more stiff, more rigid.
Great job you guys. Great job.
When I say the next number, take the arm and put it straight up toward the ceiling.
When you do this, make that arm totally straight, totally stiff, and totally rigid.
Here we go and three.
Take that arm straight up there now.
Now here is what we are going to do. We’re going to see the really good ones right about now.
They are all concentrating perfectly. They are doing a fantastic job.
What I’m going to do right now is I am going to count from three back to one.
If you are doing a good job and you’re concentrating correctly, then your arm will be stuck there, helping you go deeper and deeper, helping you feel better and better.
Again, if you are doing a good job, all the arms will be stuck in the position that they are in, helping you go deeper and feel better and better.
Breathe in deep. Let it all the way out. Three, two, one—try to pull that arm down.
If you are doing a good job it will not come down.
If you are concentrating correctly, that arm will be stuck there. Fantastic. Stop trying.
What I’m going to do is I’m going to give you a number.
When I touch you and give you a number, it is not important that you remember what the number is.
Just remember that I gave you a number.
When I touch you and give you a number and say the word sleep, let your body go completely limp, completely loose, totally relaxed.
You are never asleep, just relaxed. You are one, sleep. Loose, fantastic.
Two, sleep, let them loose. Let that body go. Fantastic. Take a deep breath.
Three, sleep. Let that body just sink into the chair. Wonderful job.
Four, sleep, let it loose all the way down. Fantastic. Breathe all the way in and all the way out.
Now listen to me very carefully.
On the count of three you are going to be wide awake feeling fantastic, better than you felt all day, all week, all month, all year.
Do not open your eyes until I tell you to.
When I say number one I want you to sit up straight, eyes closed, take in a deep breath.
Here we go and one.
Sit up straight, eyes closed. Breathe in deep. Feel that energy come back into your body now. Feel that energy come back into your body now. Feel that energy coming back into your body now. Feel yourself become more alert and more aware.
When I say the number two, you are going to feel that energy coursing through your body.
You are going to be totally awake and totally alert. Do not open your eyes.
Here we go and two.
Feel that energy course through that body now. Kind of wiggle around a little bit.
Get that blood flowing.
Kind of sway back and forth in that chair. You are doing great.
Clinch those fingers together. Breathe in deep.
When I say the next number, let those eyes pop wide open totally awake, totally alert feeling fantastic.
Breathe in deep, deep, deep, deep, deep. Here we go and three.
Eyes wide open.
