Being hypnotized, even when you're out of practice, is such an easy pattern to fall into. Let your breath come easily, in... and out. In... and out. Repeating again and again. So simple, so natural. Each breath driving your attention to another part of your body. Relaxing yourself from one point out. In... and out. In... and out. You can feel it. It comes in through your nose and sinks down, into your lungs. That calming breath, reaching every part of your body. Sinking down, pulling the stress from your shoulders, sinking down your arms, into your hands, your fingers. Sinking down, helping you relax your core muscles. Sinking down, allowing that tension in your spine to flow out. Sinking down, letting your legs go limp and lax. Sinking down, down, down, that feeling of calm driving everything else out. In... and out. In... and out. Each breath another wave of calm, another wave of relaxation. One of the wonderful parts of sinking down, deeper and deeper down again is how eventually it seems that thoughts just stop. The calm of each breath, of each word sinks down into your body, leaving the outside world unimportant around you . Some people describe it as empty, some people describe it as quiet. We can describe it as blank. Blank comes easily, naturally, when you allow the calm to bring you down, down, down. When there is nothing to do but follow along with your eyes. But we can bring the feeling of blank even when you are up. The feeling of the world simplifying, of your mind supplying nothing new but more calm as you breath in... and out. In... and out. No words need to come from that calm, no difficulty can reach you.  That is the feeling of blank. And again and again, you can find yourself becoming blank just when I ask. No thoughts as you become blank, no worries as you blank, no memories as you blank. For a moment, everything is simple and calm. Everything is blank. Even when you are awake you can experience what its like to blank. Going back and remembering my words in the right context can help everything become simple, become easy, become blank. A moment, and then you're back. But you can always become blank again, letting the thoughts filter out as everything goes quiet. It's easy, now, to float in that nice simple feeling. In that calm blankness, letting each breath carry you along. So I will allow you to stay in this state for as long as you'd like. And when you decide to move on, to keep scrolling or to change tasks, you’ll remember only that you've done very well.
