• Next tell them to focus on various part of their body. Start at one end and work your way to the other. You want to say something like “Now relax your arms, let me relax until they feel light as a feather.” Continue until their whole body is relaxed.
• Then, question them about the things that concern them the most. You want them to open up. Keep this process going for about 15 minutes. Your subject should be fully hypnotized.
