#trance1

Hello, and welcome to the first trance on my blog. As you can probably guess, this post will include an induction intended to induce mindlessness and relaxation. And of course, since we're just meeting I've included a little gift, just a nice basic trigger to drop back down easier and faster for me.

Have you ever stopped,  and thought about all of the places you've seen? Most of us haven't.  That's OK. Cities,  houses,  offices,  we've seen hundreds of places,  and each have their own memories. Their own feelings and thoughts embedded into our minds,  unnoticed but never gone.

It's said our environments shape our thoughts and feelings. Fortunately for you, earth is filled with nature, with vibrant meadows,  dark forests, and miles of farmlands. Take a moment and think about that, half of all the locations you can think of. No,  really take a moment and think of the most relaxing meadow or field you've been in. Close your eyes and bring it to the front of your mind,  as clear and detailed as you can. Focus on your memories,  focus on the grass dancing in the breeze, the sun beating down,  bathing everything in a nice, warm glow. It's OK to take your time here,  just relax and close your eyes, breath and focus. When you can see it clearly you'll open your eyes and continue reading,  won't you?

There's no need to think about why we're here.  There's no need,  because you and I both know. You're here to read my words, to relax and let go. You're here to drift into your own mind,  and relax. And while you're here with me,  in this little corner of your mind of peace and relaxation that's exactly what you're going to do. You're going to read, and let my words shape your thoughts, let relaxation seep into you, and push out your thoughts.

And we both know you will,  since this is what you want. What you're craving. And you've dropped so many times before, you may already be feeling hazy, relaxed, weak. That's fine, it's what you want,  it's what I want for you.

In your mind,  look up from the field into that nice deep blue sky. And as you do let yourself notice a cloud of birds flying all around. Flitting from spot to spot, sometimes flying, sometimes coming down to rest.

In a moment I'm going to count down from 100, and with each number you'll see some of the birds fly off into the distance. And with each that leaves you'll feel a nice wave of relaxation wash over you.  Getting stronger and stronger with each number.

100. Watching the birds fly off, and feeling the relaxation hit your toes. All the stress and tension just dissipitating into nothing.

99. Feeling the relaxation climb to your ankles.

98. Feeling better and better.

97, 96, 95. Letting the relaxation slowly climb your legs. Just drifting and focusing on the birds. Feeling yourself relaxing further and further as each flies away.

94, 93. Relax. 92. Drift. 91. 90. The birds flying away faster and faster. Just relaxing further and further, drifting. Relaxation reaching your knees,  feeling yourself just sinking into relaxation.

89, 88, 87, 86, 85. Just drifting and relaxing. Happy and relaxed. Each number bringing you deeper and deeper into this relaxed state.

84, relax, 83, drift, 82, sink,  81, 80. The relaxation making it to your hips and legs.

78, 76, 74, 72, 70. The birds are leaving faster and faster, relaxation climbing more and more with every word. Already halfway up your chest, just drifting and feeling so good. Each number helping you relax more and more, and feeling better than the last.

68, 66, 64, 62, 60. The relaxation climbing higher and higher all the way up to your shoulders. No tension, no stress. Just peace and relaxation. Just drift into relaxation.

57, 54, 50, going down your arms and into your hands. Relaxation reaching all the way down your body, only your head left to go. And as the relaxation reaches your head your thoughts will slow and fade.

49, 48, 47, thoughts just popping and disappearing as the birds fly away. Each number feeling so nice.

46, 45, 44, 43. Already feeling slower, but so nice. Feeling better and better as your thoughts drift off.

42, 40, 38, 36, 34 32, 30. No need to worry, I'll hold onto them for you. Just relax and drift. Don't think, just sink. Just relaxing more and more, thinking less and less.

25. 20. Barely able to think now. Just drifting in a haze of relaxation. 15. Sinking. 10. So deep.

5. Barely any thoughts left. Nothing but relaxation, and peace, and happiness. No worries, no thoughts.

In a moment the last birds will leave. And so will your thoughts. Nice and blank. Happy and relaxed.

4. Drifting

3. No thoughts

2. Blank and empty.

1. Almost there.

0. Nothing left but my words and the feelings of relaxation and peace. Happiness. No thoughts or stresses.

And as you float and drift here for me, I'm going to give you one thought to stay with you. A special one. Just one word, but when you think of it for me they'll grow bigger and bigger, pushing out all the other ones. Until there's nothing left but relaxation and peace. One that I, and only I can tell you to help you relax and let go, to just drop and surrender for a bit.

Whenever I tell you "'affoga" you'll come back to this meadow, watching all the other birds disappear. Feeling so good, whenever you hear "affoga".

In a moment my words will stop, but that's ok. You can stay in this meadow, blank and empty, happy and thoughtless for as long as you want.
