Here are two simple examples of induction hypnotherapy scripts often used to help a person enter a relaxed, focused state. They are intended for relaxation and therapeutic use, not as medical treatment.

1. Progressive Relaxation Induction

“Make yourself comfortable and allow your eyes to close whenever you are ready.

Take a slow, deep breath in… and gently let it out.

With each breath, allow your body to relax a little more.

Bring your attention to your feet. Notice any tension there, and allow it to melt away.

Now relax your calves… your knees… your thighs.

Feel a wave of relaxation moving upward through your body.

Relax your stomach… your chest… your shoulders.

Allow your arms to become loose and comfortable.

Relax your neck… your jaw… your cheeks… your eyes… your forehead.

With every breath, you drift deeper into comfort and calm.

Imagine a gentle feeling of peace flowing through your entire body.

You are safe, relaxed, and comfortable.

As I count from 10 down to 1, allow yourself to drift deeper into this pleasant state of relaxation.

10… 9… deeper and calmer…

8… 7… letting go…

6… 5… peaceful and relaxed…

4… 3… deeper still…

2… and 1… completely relaxed and focused.”

2. Staircase Induction

“Close your eyes and take a slow, comfortable breath.

Imagine that you are standing at the top of a beautiful staircase with ten steps leading down to a peaceful place.

With each step down, you become more relaxed and comfortable.

Step 10… feeling calm.

Step 9… letting go of any tension.

Step 8… drifting deeper.

Step 7… relaxed and comfortable.

Step 6… feeling safe and peaceful.

Step 5… halfway down now, becoming even more relaxed.

Step 4… deeper and calmer.

Step 3… peaceful and still.

Step 2… almost at the bottom.

Step 1… arriving in a place of complete relaxation.

Notice the comfort of this peaceful place.

Allow yourself to enjoy this feeling of calm, focus, and inner peace.

Your mind is clear, your body is relaxed, and you are open to positive change.”

Key Elements of a Good Induction

1. Establish comfort and safety.

2. Focus attention (breathing, body sensations, imagery).

3. Encourage gradual relaxation.

4. Deepen the relaxed state (counting, stairs, elevator, etc.).

5. Transition into the therapeutic suggestions or visualization.

These scripts are commonly used as a starting point before work on stress reduction, confidence building, habit change, or personal growth.
