ESDAILE STATE

(client’s name) there is an even deeper state of relaxation than the

one you are experiencing . . . To reach this level you must go down

three more floors of relaxation . . . We will call these floors A, B, and

C . . . To reach level “A” you must double the relaxation you already

have . . . When you reach that floor you are to say the letter “A” very

clearly . . . It will only take a few moments . . .

To get to floor “B” you must now go twice as deep as you did for floor

“A” . . . So you must double your relaxation another time . . . When

you reach floor “B” you will find it difficult to pronounce the letter “B”,

but try your utmost to say it aloud . . . It will only take a few moments.

Now your going down to floor “C” . . . To reach floor “C” you must

double your present state of relaxation one more time . . . Letting go

completely and really giving in to relaxation . . . Once you have

doubled it and are sure it is doubled try to say the letter "C" . . . If you

have truly doubled your relaxation, you will find you won’t be able to

form your lips sufficiently to say "C" . . . However, I want you to try

your utmost to say “C” . . . This will only take a few moments . . .

Try to lift your right leg . . .

Try to open your eyes . . .
