Fingers spreading, fingers spreading. That's it, spreading and spreading further and further. Further with every word that I say. The more they spread, the closer that hand comes to your face. Closer that hand comes to your face, the heavier your head gets. You feel that magnetic force getting stronger and stronger with every word that I say. Fingers spreading, hand moving in. Fingers spreading, hands moving in. Any other sounds that you hear just encourages that hand to move quicker and quicker. The quicker it moves, the more relaxed you The more relaxed you feel, the quicker the hand moves. Those fingers continue spreading and spreading with every word that I say. Now, this shit that we doing right now, it seemed like magic, but it's no different than me explaining to you a fight that I had and you thinking, I wish a nigga would try this shit with me. Like, humans go into hypnosis all the time. Anytime somebody ever told you a story, if they couldn't hypnotize you, you wouldn't get the story. As the hand goes in closer and closer. Those fingers spread further and further. Now, in a moment— not right now, but in a moment— that hand is going to touch your head. When the hand touch your head, you're going to allow your eyes to close. You're going to go into a deep state of relaxation. It's not sleep. It's gonna feel a lot like sleep. Hypnotic sleep is like sleeping at work. You know, if you at work but you think the boss might walk in, you might catch a little nap. But even if you catching that nap, any little thing to happen, you're gonna jump your ass up. You're gonna know what's going on around you even as you sleep. That's what hypnotic sleep is like. Those fingers spread further and further, the hand comes in further and further. That's it. You feel those eyes getting tired. You feel yourself walking into that hypnotic trance. In a moment, you're gonna get the urge to swallow. When you get the urge to swallow, just nod your head yes. That's it. Closer and closer. There we go. Welcome to hypnosis. Now you can get up right now and walk off if you wanted to. Yeah, it is so much easier just to sit Sit there and listen to the sound of my voice. That hand goes closer, closer, and closer to your face. Every time I snap my finger, the hand is gonna go closer, closer, and closer to your face. Just like that. When that hand touches your head, your eyes gonna close. You gonna go into a deep sleep. All the way down. Deeper, deeper, deeper. Closer, closer, closer. Closer it gets, the better you feel. The better you feel, the deeper you go. The deeper you go, the better you feel. As you go into this endless loop of relaxation, feeling better and better with every second that passes. Every word that I say to you, you feel the shoulders starting to relax. That hand comes in closer, closer, closer, closer, closer, closer, closer, closer. Now you can snap out of that shit anytime you want, but with your permission, you can make a choice right now to go even deeper into hypnosis. You can make a choice to let go and go deeper and into that part of the mind where changes can happen just like that, to that part of the mind that knows that you could be, do, and have any fucking thing that you want. That's it. As you go deeper and deeper with every word that I say, I'm gonna count from 10 all the way down to 0. Every number that I say, your body and your mind gonna relax deeper and deeper. Deeper, deeper, deeper. 10, 9, 8, 6, 5, 4, 2, 1, 0. Deep sleep, all the way down. The deeper you go, the better you feel. The better you feel, the deeper you go. As you just relax and go into that deep, beautiful place that we call hypnosis, you allow that hand to drop down only as quickly as you're ready to go. 10 times deeper into hypnosis. That's it, deeper, deeper, deeper, deeper, deeper, deeper. Completely and absolutely relaxed. That's it, completely and absolutely relaxed. Any other sounds that you hear just enhances the relaxation that you feel. And I don't know which leg is more relaxed, left leg or the right leg. Whichever one it is, you allow that relaxation to double and spread all throughout your body, deeper and more intense, more intense, more deep into this beautiful, wonderful state that we all feel most. Deeper, deeper and deeper, deeper and deeper, deeper and deeper, deeper, deeper, deeper. This is what I want you to do. I want you to think about one thing in your life that you'd like to enhance about yourself. You want to be more outgoing, more motivated. If you deal with procrastination, anything like that, I want you just to think about the one change that you would like to make for yourself. And when you pick something, I want you just to nod your head yes.
Okay.
Go deeper. There we go. This is what's gonna happen. I'm gonna count up from 1 to 10. When I say 10, you can open your eyes. You're gonna feel amazing. You're gonna have a realization that you can clearly be doing, have anything that you want. First step to doing anything is seeing a clear picture of it in your mind. So as I count from 1 to 10, you're gonna use this 10 counting to see it clearly in your mind. When you open your eyes You're gonna naturally start moving closer and closer to whatever it is you're holding in your mind, whatever it is you want enhanced about yourself. You're gonna move closer and closer to that version of yourself. So I count from 1 to 10. 1, doing all the positive suggestions, saving your body at a cellular molecular level. 2, understanding you can be doing, have any fucking thing that you want. First step is seeing that shit clearly in your mind. 3, 4, 5, way there. 6, 7, 8, deep breath in. Deep, deep, deep, deep, deep. Deep, deepest breath you ever took. As you let it out, 9, 10, eyes open, feeling amazing, feeling refreshed, like you just woke up from a nice long nap, like you had a good long massage, feeling good, feeling enhanced. But that's it. That's hypnosis. Now TV make it look like something else, but that's, that's what hypnosis is.
How did my hand touch my face though?
Hypnosis.
My hand touched my face. How did it touch my face?
Like, what people don't realize is it's no different. Like, you're out of hypnosis, but if I tell you to imagine getting the lemon and cutting the lemon in the wedges, you can see the yellow lemon, you can see the juice rolling down the lemon in your imagination. I want you to Grab a lemon. I want you to imagine you're getting ready to bite into the lemon. I'm gonna count from 1 to 3. When I say 3, I want you to just, in your imagination, I want you to take a big-ass bite out of the lemon. You ever bit into a lemon before? You know how it felt? You remember that sensation? I got a question. Is your mouth watering right now as you remember what it feels like to bite into it?
Yes.
That's hypnosis. TV make it look like something else, but your ability to get mad at something that happened yesterday Is you putting yourself in a trance. Because if it was that thing making you mad, it would have to be happening right now for you to be mad. But you can get mad about something that happened a year ago, right?
Facts.
So like, that's, that's what hypnosis is. TV make this shit look like something else, but that's, that's what hypnosis is.
Damn.
