Hypnotic Inductions
Written by clive on 12:16 AMThe following is a general induction adapted for insomniacs. The induction begins with suggestions for overall relaxation and ends with specific posthypnotic sleep instructions. Feel free to insert phrases that customize the induction to suit your particular needs. You can choose to read over an induction to suit your particular needs. You can choose to read over an induction to familiarize yourself with it and then repeat it from memory as your relax. Or you may find it easier to make a tape recording of yourself or a friend reading the induction. If you choose to record an induction, here are some suggestions for recording the sample induction that follows.
1. Read the induction aloud several times in order to become familiar and comfortable with its content. When recording, speak slowly and in a monotone, keeping your voice level and your words evenly spaced. You will need to experiment with tone and emphasis until you are satisfied with the way the induction sounds.
2. Choose a location free of any sounds that may be picked up on the tape, such as clocks, television, telephone, or doorbell. You will also need to alert your family or roommates. Make sure they understand that they are not to interrupt you or make any other sounds that can be heard on tape.
3. Put on comfortable clothing and get into a comfortable position. You may want to lie down, sit in a rocking chair, or sit at your desk with your feet up. Whatever your preferred position, make sure it is one that will be comfortable throughout the entire recording session. If you are shifting around or feeling physically uncomfortable, this discomfort will be reflected in the tone and quality of your voice.
