I wanted to play a little bit with an idea I've been toying with recently.

The idea that the word relax is more than five letters.

It's meaning. It's a sound.

So, if you're reading this for the first time, keep reading.

If you're not sure, then start at the top, and read again.

Think about the word "relax" for a moment.

A word is a thought. A meaning.

But that meaning is wrapped in a sound.

That sound is wrapped in text.

You can almost imagine what it sounds like

To relax.

It's almost like effortlessly, the text warps into sound

Something you hear in the back of your head.

Relax.

It's funny, how words translate into sounds.

You can imagine the sounds of the words as you read them.

The meaning blending into feeling, as your eyes follow easily, and you hear in your mind, the sound of the words.

Making it that much easier to follow along.

Easy.

And of course, you know, as someone who has been hypnotized before, that this isn't the first time you've heard those words.

Relax.

Deeper.

Down.

In fact, you are so good at following

And drifting

That you realize that maybe, this isn't the first time you have read this text.

Or perhaps, there is a suggestion hidden somewhere to allow you to forget.

Perhaps it has come and gone.

Perhaps this is that suggestion.

But regardless, it's easier to read, and listen, and drift

Than to remember if you've forgotten

Or if you've forgotten to remember.

All you need to do is relax.

There's that sound again.

Relax.

The heavy feeling

Calm and warm.

Relaxing.

You may have already forgotten how much you've already relaxed.

But you can remember your breathing. Deep. Steady. Slow.

It brings you deeper, more relaxed.

And slows you down

So that your eyes follow

Your mind wanders

And you feel yourself sinking, blissful, and comfortable.

Is this the first time you're reading this? Or have you forgotten?

Does some of it sound familiar?

Relax.

That sound, of course is smooth, and easy

Familiar and comfortable.

Are you settling and calming because you have read this?

Or are you reading this because you have become calm, and centered?

It's become much easier to read, and drift.

And to relax.

Have you forgotten if you've read this before? Did you start at the beginning?

No matter. Right?

Because it's easier to follow

And sink

And drift

And melt

Isn't it?

It's much easier to hear those sounds in your head.

To follow along, because it's where you want to be.

You remember breathing deeply, of course

But perhaps it's easier to forget if you've remembered how this all began.

Maybe it's easier to remember that you've forgotten.

Because that sound

That word

Relax

Is more inviting. More comfortable.

It's exactly where you want to be, so why worry about where you've been?

It's so much easier to forget to remember unimportant things

And simply relax

Slowly, easily

Feeling that sound turn into meaning

A heavy feeling.

A dropping feeling.

While your mind effortlessly glides over my words

And the sounds bring you down

Deeper and heavier.

That's right.

It's much more comfortable and peaceful down here anyway.

It's so much easier to let your eyes glide over each word, letting each comforting word wrap around you automatically.

Because it's easier to forget where you've come from

And instead focus on where you are.

And you are, in fact, in a quiet, relaxing place.

You can hear my words now,

Sounds

In your mind, as you continue to read

To follow

So easily and effortlessly .

Do you keep reading to hear the sounds? Or do the sounds come, and so you read on?

You don't have to remember which is which.

Because it's easier of course to forget which sense you need to focus on.

Maybe they blend together

As you relax.

Relax,

Deeper

And heavier

Down.

And perhaps you blink.

But have you blinked because you've read the words?

Or because I've asked you to?

Perhaps you can't remember

Or you can't be sure.

But that's alright, dear.

Because it's easier to blink

And relax

Funny, how sounds take on meanings we never expected.

How a simple down brings us so very far down

How it feels as if we're sinking

Falling

Drifting

And relaxing

Just with a blink

And a blank

And a down.

Down.

Down.

And even here, where words and sounds and feelings all drift in, and out like the wind

You might have a fleeting moment, where you forget to remember or remember to forget.

Is this the first time you have read this?

Have you skipped a line?

If you don't know, then simply scroll to the top, and follow my words.

Have you relaxed?

I sure hope you have.

Taking a nice, big, deep breath in now.
