Emerging Technique

Emerging Technique # 1
In a moment I'm going to count from one up to three. At the count of three, and not before, you will open your eyes and become fully refreshed, totally alert, feeling wonderful and marvelous in every way.
ONE! Slowly, easily and gently feel yourself coming back to your full awareness. At the count of TWO, you're still relaxed and calm, but a wonderful feeling of new energy flows throughout your mind and body; and your eyes, under your eyelids, feel as if they are clearing, as if they are being bathed in a cool mountain stream.
On the next count, eyes open, fully alert, feeling wonderful and marvelous in every way. Get ready now. All right, number THREE, eyes open, fully alert and notice how good you feel! How Do You Feel?

Emerging Technique # 2
In a moment I will count from 1 to 5. At the count of five, and not before, you will open your eyes and emerge from this very pleasant state of hypnosis. You notice I use the term emerge, rather than the word awaken, simply because you're not asleep. You are just in a very pleasant state of relaxation.
When you emerge, you will feel wonderfully relaxed and refreshed. You will remember everything said while you were in hypnosis. If there were any tensions from the day's activities, they will diminish and disappear. You will feel great.
1...2...3...4...5, Eyes open, wide open, fully alert and feeling wonderful. How Do You Feel?
