Starting inductions with 
"take a deep breath" 
is so boring.
It's so much more fun if
you allow yourself to begin to
drift into a trance, not noticing
you're taking a deep breath until
you find yourself releasing it,
or not noticing at all until your
deep breathing causes you to
be more and more relaxed.
You think when you notice
your breathing ​is when you
feel the trance actually begin
but the trance has already
started​ without your noticing
because you don't usually
notice every breath you take.
It's so much more fun because  
when that happens to you 
you realize quite suddenly 
it must happen sometime
before you wake up to the
wonderful realization that
you are already in a trance,
it's already happening to you:
you find that you are all ready
to feel the pleasure of feeling 
you're floating safe in the
hands of an irresistible force 
you need and want to give in
to be sure it is happening,
beginning to feel as if you're
controlled by the words of
a hypnotist who knows exactly 
what these words of mine
are doing to you now—is to
let yourself obey without any
thought so important to you 
you feel all ready to just drop
quickly into a deep trance?
You may consciously forget
what the question was, but you
are unconsciously completely
sure that you want to go on
reading and breathing deeply
—to just go on feels so good
—and to nod yes feels right.
Noticing if you nodded yes,
then these words must say
something to you you are
unaware of consciously.
Perhaps you are unaware
the mere motion of nodding
your head deepens trance
because it stimulates a part
of the brain that control ways
you act automatically (can
you feel this happening at
the back of your neck?) and
you are also focused on a
feeling of being apart from
from external orientation
both because of the change
in your head's angle to the
spatial grid surrounding you
(“spacing out”—though
maybe “spacing in” is more
like what it feels like when
this is happening to you—
in or out, it feels very nice)
and also because you must
turn inward to see that you
agree with the question?
Nodding yes again now,
and whispering “yes”
aloud to each thing that
you read as you can only
agree with every word now.
Agreeing, you are in a trance
and want to be told more
that you will agree with
and agree to do because
it's very agreeable to let 
yourself be so agreeable,
just doing what I tell you
you want to do because
I know what you want to
do—you agree it's what
you want to do, nodding
again, yes, and breathing
a deeply whispered “yes”
because you know what
you want to do you will do:
you want to do whatever
I tell you you want to do,
whatever I tell you to do,
you want to do and will
nod yes again and whisper
“yes.” Nothing feels better
than sending that whispered
“yes” up from deep inside
your body deep in trance
and doing what you want
to do, especially when I tell
you to do what you want
to do—I know because
what you want to do is
what I want you to do, and
what I want you to do is
what you want to do—
send another “yes” up
from deep in your heart,
so deep in a trance now,
whatever I say you find
you agree so deeply, “yes,”
because it feels so good
to agree to do whatever
I say and whenever I say,
“You agree to . . .” you will
find that you do agree and
will agree to do whatever
I say whenever I say that
“you agree to . . .” do what
I say—you agree to send
me a message saying you
need me to hypnotize you,
and you agree to feel that
this is what you feel when
you send me this message,
and you agree to agree to
what I say you agree to . . .
whatever I say you agree to
do, whenever I say “you
agree to . . .” And when I
agree that you need me to
hypnotize you: “Yes, I agree
you need me to hypnotize you,”
you agree to feel again and
even more that you agree that
you need me to hypnotize
you. Send me the message
before you forget and wake up
when you click send, sending
me the message, ending with
sending, and you agree to
send this out of your mind
before you wake up and,
memory transformed,
transcended, forget this
trance for me that ended
with sending a message.
