Rapid Induction Technique

What we are using in this next example is a variation of the Fractional Relaxation Technique called the "Rapid Induction Technique."

• Make yourself as comfortable as you can on a mat, a couch or a chair.
• Inhale deeply and exhale, releasing all muscular tensions everywhere in the body. Continue to breathe naturally, easily and gently.
• Close your eyes. Focus your attention gently on your subconscious mind and give it the following commands silently and in sequence:

1. Address yourself by name. (The name or nickname to which you usually respond automatically when called by another person. Say silently to your subconscious mind, "I WANT YOU TO RELAX, VERY DEEPLY, NOW!"
2. Let go and let down. Feel your mind, your emotions and your physical body sink quickly and deeply into relaxation, drifting ever deeper and deeper until you reach a plateau of relaxation.
3. At this point, again address your subconscious mind by name and once more say silently to yourself, "I WANT YOU TO RELAX MORE DEEPELY, NOW!"
4. Feel yourself plunging deeper into relaxation, going down further and deeper until you reach another plateau of relaxation.
5. Once again, address your subconscious mind quietly, silently, by name and repeat the command, "I WANT YOU TO RELAX MORE DEEPLY NOW!"
6. And finally, once more, address yourself in a silent whisper, calling yourself by name and giving yourself a final command, "I WANT YOU TO RELAX MORE DEEPLY NOW!"
7. At this time you should reach a very effective level of deep relaxation when you can give yourself very effective suggestions toward achieving your desired goals.
8. You may give yourself suggestions in the form of visualizations, positive verbal suggestions, altered feelings or emotions such as:

•  Visualizing your ideal configuration and weight.
• Replacing any fears, anxieties, depressions or other negative feelings by a sense of self confidence, optimism, pride or other positive emotion through verbal suggestions and suggested feelings.
• Permitting a feeling of deep pervasive peace to envelop you.
• Suggesting to your subconscious mind - time contractions - for example, that the next hour will seem like only ten minutes have passed.
• Any other suggestions consistent with your selected goals.

With daily practice for about two weeks, using this Rapid Self Induction Technique, you should be able to put yourself into an effective level of deep relaxation, within 30 seconds whether lying down, sitting or standing up.

After you have mastered the Rapid Self Induction Technique, with an additional 1 to 3 weeks of daily practice to achieve a state of deep, effective relaxation within 1 to 5 seconds merely by closing your eyes and silently saying to yourself, "RELAX." This almost instant self induction should be practiced consistently in all positions (lying, sitting and standing) to maintain proficiency.
