Staircase Relaxation
(Marshall Sylver) - (Transcribed From An Actual Show)
In a moment I'm going to begin relaxing your further
In a moment I'm going to begin counting backwards from 10 to 1 again
The moment I say the number 10, you will allow your eyelids to remain closed
But the moment I say the number 10, you will in your minds eye see yourself at the top of a small set of stairs
As I say say the number 9 and each additional number you will simply move down those stairs, relaxing more completely
At the bottom of the stairs lies a very large feather bed and a very relaxing feather pillow
The moment I say the number 1 you will sink down into that feather bed and rest your head on that feather pillow
During this time if I touch you or move you this will only serve to relax you deeper
Breathe in deeply, we begin
# 10, at the top of the stairs, your relaxing and letting go, # 10
# 9, becomming more limp, more loose, more calm, # 9
8, sinking into a more comfortable, peaceful and relaxed position
If I touch you or move you this will only serve to relax you deeper
10,
9,
8,
7 way down,

5 thats fine, your doing perfectly, moving toward that feather bed

5, let loose those neck muscles,
4,
3,
2 way down,
3,
2 way down,

On the next number # 1 simply sink into a more comfortable, calm, peaceful and relaxed position
Let your body go more limp and more loose as if you were made from a handful of loose rubberbands
3,
2,
and 1 way down
thats fine, you're doing perfectly
