Pain to Comfort Script by Ron Eslinger

By Ron Eslinger

After your induction:

With every breath that you take in allow yourself to relax more deeply and as you continue to focus on the sound of my voice you can also focus on getting a sense of control over yourself… your thoughts… your feelings… your body…

Let me remind you that what matters most right now is getting your thoughts together and and letting go of past events… and focus on a thought of  calmness and what changes in your life as comfortable becomes of who you are. There have been times in your life when yoiu were comfortable and it is OK to be comfortable now.  Only you can make that choice.

I wonder if you’ll decide to create this coolness throughout your body or if your decision will be to just allow yourself to be comfortably calm.  In all probability you will determine what you create and what you feel within your body.

One of the first things you can become aware of… is the fact that only you are aware at this time of what your comfort level is… but as I speak and as you create within your mind different thoughts and different images of how you want to feel… I would like you to appreciate the fact that through your thoughts you are in control of your mind and of your body.  Therefore, the more you focus your thoughts on my voice… the more you will have control over how comfortable you choose to be.

I wonder if you’ll be reminded of a time… a time in your past when you were aware… of how comfortable your body could be.  Perhaps even now you’re beginning to notice either heaviness or a lightness of your body… and I wonder just how you will experience the coolness and the calmness that I mentioned earlier.

I wonder if you have begun to notice yet… that your body is becoming more relaxed… and I wonder which is more relaxed your left side or your right side… your left side over there your right side over here… and that area which in the past was uncomfortable… is it there, is it here… is it close?  Is it far?

I can remember looking through binoculars and seeing how large things would become. I wonder if you noticed that when you think of that place of discomfort that it is like looking through binoculars.  It gets so big… so close… almost as if it is right up on you… yet… I wonder how surprised you will be when you discover that if you turn those binoculars around… how distant… how far away… how tiny… what you’re looking at becomes.

I wonder if you can imagine or just pretend… maybe even… role-play as if you are a child… turning the binoculars around looking through the big end and seeing how distant… how tiny that area of discomfort becomes when you look at it in a totally and completely different way.

I would like for you to imagine now that your feet are like vacuums… and they begin to suck up into your body… starting at the ankles and the lower part of your legs… then up into your knees… and into your thighs… every cell is filling with this cool orange colored magnetic liquid… now moving into your hips… into your pelvic area and into your abdomen… all the organs all the cells of your abdomen… and now it flows into your lungs and into your chest and I wonder how surprised you will be to discover how easily it is to breathe with your lungs filled with this cool orange colored magnetic liquid.

Now I know and I know that you know… that there are areas of your body that something warm would be more pleasing than coolness… therefore, it is OK to replace the coolness in those areas with a sense of warmth… that’s right… you’re doing so very well allowing every breath to continue to allow you to drift gently and peacefully into this wonderful state of hypnotic rest.

And now as the chest continues to feel that warm or cool orange colored liquid… that  magnetic liquid… it begins to flow over into your arms… from your fingertips all the way up to your shoulders… every cell, every vessel, every part of your body now from your neck down fills with this warm or cool orange colored liquid… this magnetic liquid.

I wonder what you will discover… as this cool orange colored magnetic liquid fills your head… all of your head… your ears… your eyes… your sinuses… and even your brain.

It may be that you are already aware… of how this coolness… of how this orange colored magnetic liquid… has already begun creating comfort and calmness.

I am sure that you are aware of what magnets do… and I think you’re going to enjoy being surprised to discover that it’s OK …to allow that magnetic orange liquid… to pull from every cell… the anxiety… the tension… and the discomforts that are located there… YOU… are worthy of allowing yourself the comfort that comes from letting this amazing orange colored magnetic liquid… this cool and soothing liquid… to pull from every cell of your body anxiety, tension and discomfort.

You have the right to be comfortable… allow every cell now to remember what normal feels like… I wonder how surprised you will be… when you think back to a time… a time in your past… when you can remember being able to do the things you like to do…

I wonder just what that thing may be… only you know if it’s a sport…a hobby or even your job.  It really doesn’t matter what it is … all that matters is that you allow your thoughts… allow your memories to focus on that time in your past.  I’ll give you a few moments now to focus on that time… that happy memory… that comfortable memory…

So that you can imprint that memory on every cell of your body and… and as you do so feel that cool or warm orange colored magnetic liquid which continues to pull from every cell… the anxiety… the tension… and the discomfort so that you can replace those uncomfortable memories with the memories of comfort… serenity…and  tranquility in every cell.

Do that now while I’m silent as you go deeper and deeper… (just a few moments of silences).

Wonderful… I am so proud of how well you’re doing… now allow your fingers and your toes to be like water faucets… open them up and allow that cool or warm orange colored magnetic

liquid to drain from your body… leaving behind cells that are restored with comfortable… relaxed… calm… and peaceful feelings.

Now each and every cell of your body knows what normal is. I wonder how surprised you are to discover how wonderful it feels to remember what normal is… what comfort is.

It is OK now to let go and to enjoy the fact that you have the right and that you are worthy of feeling your best.

It is OK to let go of guilt…just let it go.

Allow yourself to have forgiveness for yourself and others.

(And Continue with the suggestions for self-hypnosis at home and emerge now in whatever method you as the hypnotist prefer to use)

Emerge debrief and then:

Do second induction (Let this be a Self-Induction using the anchor from above)

This hypnosis induction as session will be short using the following:

×          Add Guided imagery to see self, as free and comfortable

×          Imagining a day with healthy eating and water drinking with comfortable physical activity

×          Metaphor – In the past you have seen this discomfort like looking through a pair of binoculars so close… so big… so in the way…Turn the binoculars around and look through the big ends. Isn’t it amazing at how far away…how small… how insignificant the discomfort is…  Now turn the binoculars around again and see how big the comfort is how wonderful you feel.

Discuss what will change in their life when their discomfort is 2-4 points less on average.

Teach second step in self-hypnosis and give them handout listed below.

Have them practice self-hypnosis while you complete paper work.
