Allow yourself to get into a comfortable position. Let your body sink into whatever it is that you are sitting on And just feel your body relax And loosen Allow all of the muscles to just Let go now… And sink gently and easily down Feeling your body sinking As your mind starts to drift away Focusing on my words More and more deeply You can leave your eyes open And watch the spiral Or simply allow your eyes to close When ever you would like Just letting my words slide deeper And deeper Into your mind. And as you relax Into my words Simply allow the world around you To fade away. Slowly disappearing As you imagine yourself Walking gently and easily Down a forest path. Just listen to the trees Rustling as you walk Feeling the breeze through your hair As you gently take step After step Feeling the unevenness of the ground The leaves and branches Snapping and cracking Beneath your feet. You can hear the birds singing Softly through the forest As you take step by step And sink deeper and deeper Every step helps you to slide further and further down Letting everything go And letting the world around you Becoming more and more vivid. And as you walk Deeper and deeper Into the forest So occupied with putting one foot In front of the other And simply relaxing in the woods You don’t really notice The birds all stop singing. A few of them even fly away. It doesn’t really cross your mind What might have startled them. Instead you simply keep walking Deeper and deeper into the forest. Step by step. The entire forest grows silent All except for the sound of the leaves Rustling in the breeze ... And something else Something hidden… Beneath the sound to the rustling leaves A different kind of rustling Slow and methodical Moving closer and closer to you As you walk you get a strange feeling Washing through your body The hair on the back of your neck stands up. Just a bit And you feel as if… You are being watched. Something distant… In the forest Locking it’s eyes on you. Moving closer and closer. As you scan through the forest… You can’t tell which direction it’s coming from The feeling of being watched Seems to Comes from any direction, but where you are looking. The more you look around, The more the feeling seems to get closer and closer But still not able to pinpoint exactly where it is coming from… And then As if all at once The feeling completely fades away You feel calm and safe As if there was nothing there at all.. As if there was never… Anything there to begin with. You start to walk Back down the path Feeling… strangely calm Sure that it was all Just in your head… Just in your mind… And feel yourself taking Step… after step… As you walk calmly And softly through the forest Hearing the rustling of your feet As you walk… And it’s soft echo Off to your side. Only you realize… That isn’t an echo. You stop and turn Looking to your side. Into the trees And something catches your gaze Something… pulls you in You can feel yourself Being held in place… Not physically But mentally… As if your thoughts are unable to move Unable to make you more You stare helplessly out Into the forest As you again feel Like something is watching you. Something big Something moving closer and closer You feel your body tensing a bit But you still can’t form the thoughts you need The thoughts of running away. They simply slip from your mind Before you can even think them… You become aware something Moving closer and closer to you… You hear it rustling through the leaves all around you And then finally you see it… Hidden in shadow A pair of eyes moving towards you. The eyes appear to be swirling with colors. Shifting from yellow To green To purple Every shift draws you in Deeper and deeper Your body still wants to move It wants to run But your mind is being drawn in Deeper and deeper. The longer you look the more you feel it Slowly and easily… Turning your mind off. Making you blank And helpless You struggle to try and resist. Struggle to break away … And then it happens. Your hear your mind simply PING As everything fades away You feel yourself smiling just a bit So relaxed and calm Your body slumps and relaxes As you finally see the head Move out of the shadows. A massive snake With it’s deep hypnotic eyes Swirling into yours. Keeping you deep and relaxed Deep and calm You feel the snakes tail Sliding along your body Up to your chin. And start to lead you… Lead you through the forest. Relaxed and peaceful Grinning happily You easily follow the snake Step by step Deeper and deeper Every step helps you sink even faster All the while seeing the snakes eyes Staring into yours The colors swirling and spinning. You're barely aware of the snake's tail… Gently sliding under your feet So you begin to walk on the snakes body Every step pulling you higher and higher Into the trees As you simply walk along the massive snakes body Step by step Again and again Going deeper and deeper… You feel the snakes body Bouncing softly under your feet Every step makes your body bounce More and more Feeling your arms hanging limp at your side. As the snake guides you up Into the trees You feel your body going up and down. As the snake coils it body across two trees And you walk across it’s out stretched body But every step makes the snakes body sag Lowering you closer And closer to the forest floor But then getting higher and higher As you start to walk up The snakes body Into the next tree. Once you finally reach the tree top You feel the snake tip you back. Your body falling along the snake’s Warm… Strong body. You feel your arms and legs relax As the body lifts you up. Higher and higher. Then starts to coil around you. Very loosely at first But then getting tighter and tighter As tight as you would like. The tighter it gets The deeper you start to fall The closer to sleep you start to get. Feeling the snakes coiled body Completely covering your Only your face, and your feet Are visible As it continues to squeeze Tighter and tighter Until you reach the point Where it is as tight as you like As tight as you want. You see the snakes eye staring down Deeply into yours And you start to see the world Fading away. Hearing the snake, Hiss soothingly… And gently As your mind drifts off to sleep Feeling your body suspended in the coils Helpless and relaxed The snake has you You can feel that now As you drift away to sleep.. And as you sleep You’ll feel the snake moving you through the trees Coiled around you Keeping you safe and warm But keeping you deeply hypnotized Deeply asleep. Rocking you from side to side. Just letting you sleep And drift. When you finally wake up You’ll find it so easy to just take a deep breathe And come back to reality. Stretching out and enjoying how relaxed and calm you are. Until then… Just sink… Into the coils… And sleep… Sleep… Sleep… Tight…
