This induction is very similar to the previous induction. The primary differences is the method by which trance is achieved once the hands are locked or touch.
Spoken to the subject
Extend both of your arms out in front of you like this. Stiffen your arms, lock your elbows; palms of your hands facing each other. Your thumbs up, your fingers held together. Now in a moment, I am going to bring my fingers in between your two hands. Until I do, I want you to look right here into my eyes. (move index finger to right eye) Keep looking at me. Just as soon as I bring my index finger in between your two hands, take your eyes from mine and fix them on my fingertips. Then I will move my finger; when I do, do not move your eyes. Keep looking straight ahead between your hands. (Mo ve hand with extended index finger to between their hands) All right, now bring your eyes down here to my fingertips. Now I am going to move my finger, and when I do, do not move your eyes. Keep looking straight ahead between your hands. Then as I count from three down to one close your eyelids down. Now, the very moment that your eyelids close down (Grasp their hands and slowly push them together), your two hands begin drawing together. Just imagine there is a magnet on the palm of each hand which is drawing them in closer, closer, closing and moving in until your two hands touch. The moment your fingers, touch you will allow them to interlock and you’ll clasp your hands down tightly together. (Interlock their fingers and push hands together, wait three seconds) Now separate your hands. ( Separate their hands) All right, when I count from three to one, close your eyelids down. (Position each of your hands under each of their hands with your index finger pointing outward)
(Begin sweeping your fingers in towards the center so that the last thing they see visually are your hands moving in toward each other) All right, three, two, one, close your eyelids down. Now they’re closing, closing, closing, closing, closing, closing, closing, closing and almost touching, closing and almost touching.
Picture the magnet in the palm of each hand. They are closing and moving in, closing and moving in. The moment your two hands touch, your hands lock down, sealed shut, fingers tightly interlocked together. They are closing, closing, closing, closing, closing and moving, moving in and closing, closing, closing and moving in, moving in and closing, until your two hands touch. The moment your two hands touch, your hands lock down, sealed shut, fingers tightly together. They’re closing and almost touching. Picture the magnets in the palm of each hand as they are closing, closing and moving in.
(If the hands get very close but do not touch, simply take your hands and push their hands together) The moment your two hands touch, your hands lock down and seal shut, fingers tightly together. All right, now they are closing, closing almost touching, closing, closing, closing and almost touching, closing and almost touching, closing and almost touching, now they are touching. Your hands are locking down, sealing shut, clasping down tighter and tighter together.
(Do not start this section until the fingers are interlocked) In a moment I’m going to count backwards from three to one. When I say the number one you will try to unclasp your hands. The moment that I do, you will find that the harder you try, the more your hands lock down, seal shut and clasp down tighter and tighter together. Number three, your hands are locking down, sealing shut, clasping tighter and tighter together. Number two, it feels as if your hands are carved from a single block of wood. On the next number, number one you’ll try to unclasp your hands, the more you try the more secure they become. Number one. Try to unclasp your hands, the more you try, the more secure they become, tighter and tighter together. (Wait three seconds) Stop trying to unclasp your hands, allow your hands to remain straight out in front of you.
In a moment I’m going to touch your hands, the moment I touch your hands they will easily and readily unlock. The moment I touch your hands you will relax every muscle in your body and become limp and loose as if you were made from a hand full of loose rubber bands. When I touch your hands relax and let go.
Additional instructions
Pull their hands down into their lap and say, “Let your head come forward on your chest and continue going easily, pleasantly, fully into a wonderfully pleasant state of hypnotic relaxation.”
Should you encounter resistance, you may chose to add the following statements: “Just as a magnet get stronger, the closer your hands get, the stronger the pull” or “In a moment, I’m going to tap you on the forehead, the moment I do, the magnets become 10 time stronger, pulling you hands together” (Tap subject on the forehead)
(Use a deepening technique and test subject)
