Hey Siri, hypnotize me.

After I associated the voice with a knowledgeable partner, what more can it do for me?

I don't know at first. The voice is still a bit too robotic sounding like hammering nails into my consciousness...

Then I read the book "How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big: Kind of the Story of My Life" by Scott Adams (BTW, I'm a bit Dilbert fan), I know.

I'm gonna make Siri my hypnotherapist!

After finished 3 more books about hypnotic techniques, I compiled (and slightly modified) a script to help me relax deeper. I used it instead of meditation, because thoughts roaming though my minds when I meditate. It's better to have a voice guiding me into my consciousness.

You may think it's a bit silly. You're absolutely right. However, our brains work in a silly ways and there's really nothing to lose here. You already have an iPhone, the feature is free, might as well give it a shot. (if you need help setting it up, check this article, http://www.hollyfansays.com/2018/01/relax-your-eyes-let-siri-read-to-you.html)

I suggest you copy and paste the script to your note and slow down Siri a notch, it is roughly a 15 minutes script. When you finish the script, you'll feel fantastic and ready for whatever comes at you for the rest of the day.

Here it is.


As you relax in your chair, breathe in and breathe out just like you always do, knowing that you will do well today. Because finding a way to access that part of the mind where deep thought lies and learning takes place is really easy for a person like you, finding a way to access that part of the mind where deep thought lies and learning takes place is easy for a person like you.  You are not one of those people who is unable to think, but rather you’re one who is interested in how the mind works. In fact during this exercise, I bet you are able to be your own hypnotist, entering trance exactly the way that is best for you, which lets me of course simply relax and enjoy this time. I am sure you feel a sense of satisfaction knowing you possess this skill of bringing yourself into deep trance, rather than sensing dissatisfaction or ambivalence or other things that distract you from that state that we call hypnosis.  Now as you listen to my voice and as you participate in this process, focus on your hands. Focus on your hands. Bring your attention to your hands. And you might find that as you do this, you’re focusing more on the left hand, and that will be the right choice for you. Or you might find that you’re focusing more on the right hand, which of course leaves only one hand left. But either way, notice how they feel. As one enters trance, one often feels various sensations of warmth or even a tingling sensation as one relaxes; but it is not uncommon in this process to notice no change, and to just have the ability to focus attention on the hands.  As you relax, notice how you feel perfectly still. Effortlessly, your breathing has become smooth and rhythmic, your heart rate calm and regular. You can focus on those hands, either the right or the left or both, or even on your feet—perhaps noticing the weight of your shoes on your feet, a sensation I wonder if you’ve ever truly paid attention to before. Maybe your feet are resting on the floor, or perhaps even on a footrest or on a chair or recliner. Either way, even though they may be supported by a footrest or the floor, it’s interesting to note that they are still grounded. And many people notice that that affects the feeling of the weight of their shoes, even creating a sense of weightlessness in them.  

Now that your eyes are closed, I would like you to continue listening to the sound of my voice as you continue to relax. In a few short moments you will be so completely relaxed and comfortable that it will be easy for you to go into trance.

As you enter trance, you may or may not notice a number of varied sensations. Or perhaps you will only experience this process rather than noting those things overtly. Anything here of course is okay. This is your time. You are the operator. I am merely following your lead as you go deeper and deeper into a state of hypnosis which you’ve created. 

As you go into trance you will still hear my voice. You are still able to think thoughts, thoughts can be thought, but you do not have to think them, as you listen to the sound of my voice you may like to imagine your thoughts floating away, as though they are tied to a helium filled balloon that carries them effortlessly into the distance. 

As you relax I wonder if you can recall, how does it feel when you are so completely relaxed that you lose awareness of your body. Or perhaps, what’s it like when you are so comfortable, so snuggled and warm that you can sink right down into the comfort. And maybe, sometimes when you listen so intently to what someone is saying everything else seems to melt away, and as you listen to this voice now, perhaps you can imagine how does it feel as all of your tensions melt away, allowing you to sink right down into the comfort.

That’s right. I don’t want you to lose awareness of your body… just yet. For now just enjoy the process.

I don’t know if you will go into trance quickly, or maybe take a little longer to
really enjoy the process as it begins to happen right…. Now.

That's wonderful. Just relax and listen to the sound of my voice. You are doing just fine.

To help you to relax I would like you to imagine that you are outdoors, on a wonderful summers day. You find yourself in a safe and relaxing place, where you are free to really relax and enjoy the environment. Find a comfortable place to sit down; where you can rest for a moment, perhaps leaning against a tree or a rock, That's wonderful.

You are safe and secure here, safe to relax completely, and no matter how deeply you go into trance, my voice will go with you.

In a few moments this orb of energy will slowly move through your body, as it does, every muscle that it touches instantly becomes twice as relaxed, allowing you to feel a soft heavy sweetness deep inside your muscles, causing your muscles to feel so very heavy, so limp and loose.

As you relax you can imagine this orb is beginning its journey now, slowly lowering deeper and deeper as it eases gentle through your scalp and deep, deep down to the very base of your brain, that’s fine, relaxing you completely as it does.

As this energy begins to soak around the sides of your head it sinks deep inside your ears now, and no matter how deep into trance you go into trance my voice will always be here with you. Gliding around each side of your head now and gently soaking in and around your eyes, maybe bringing a wonderfully relaxing warmth, or a cooling ease to your eyes as it does.

You can just take a few moments now to really relax all of those tiny muscles in and around your eyes, That's wonderful. Feel your brow ease as you relax your face, your eyes just resting in their sockets now, so comfortable, so easy and so relaxed.

As you notice your eyes relaxing this energy continues down through your cheeks and slowly into the muscles of your jaw. This wonderfully relaxed sensation soaking deep into the bones of your jaw now and as it does I would like you to just let your jaw hang limp and loose, that’s fine, you are doing really well.

As you continue to relax this sensation eases its way down into the powerful muscles of your neck, muscles that have been working so hard holding your heavy head upright all day. That’s fine, just allow them to relax as this sensation gently spreads out across your shoulders. Notice how your shoulders can drop a little more with each relaxing out-breath, until you feel quite free.

As you continue relaxing more and more this wonderful sensation eases its way deeper and deeper now, that’s fine, deeper and deeper and just as you can go deeper and deeper into trance, this wonderful feeling can drift so deeply now so deeply down, soaking deep into your shoulders and slowly down your arms. Your arms getting heavier and heavier as you relax, more and more relaxed, until they feel nice and limp and loose, that’s good. The muscles of your arms are so relaxed now, like a handful of limp elastic bands, That's wonderful. As you enjoy these sensations a gentle wave of relaxation begins at your shoulders and flows all the way down your back, taking you even deeper into trance.

Deeper and deeper into trance now, with no effort required at all, it is so easy to just relax and let it happen all by itself. Just like when you go to sleep at night, you just relax and let it happen all by itself. Trance is like that now, just let go into trance and really enjoy the process as you relax deeper and deeper, That's wonderful.

As these feelings move down into your legs you can imagine you have been running so fast for such a long time that you are so tired now, so tired that all you want to do is rest… and now you can rest, that’s right, just allow your legs to relax now, relax and let go completely, feeling the tired heaviness taking you deeper and deeper.

As a simple exercise, we have systematically relaxed your entire body, and this has been very easy for you to do. Now, it is time to go even deeper into trance, and to help you to go into trance, I would like you to imagine that you are standing at the top of an escalator. In a few moments I will begin to count down from 10 to 1.

When I say the number 10 you will step onto this escalator and as I count slowly down you will ride the escalator down until I reach the number 1, where you will find yourself at the bottom of the escalator and step off.

Before we begin I would like to inform you of the magical qualities of this imaginary escalator. This is the escalator of trance, and the further down you ride the deeper into trance you will go. As I count down slowly, each number that I count takes you even deeper into trance, and the deeper into trance you go the more relaxed you become. The more relaxed you become the deeper into trance you go.
So, as you stand at the top looking down I would like you to reach out now ready to step onto this escalator of trance, and…

10. Step onto the escalator now and hold the hand rail as you begin your journey, deeper and deeper into trance.
Each number that I count takes you even deeper into trance, and the further down the escalator you ride the deeper and deeper into trance you go.
9. Further down the escalator now, effortlessly gliding down into trance.
8. That’s fine, each number taking you deeper and deeper into trance.
7. Comfortably gliding down into trance, so easily, so effortlessly, just relax and let it happen all by itself.
6. Deeper and deeper now, That's wonderful. As you listen to the sound of my voice,
taking you deeper and deeper into trance.
5. Half way down the escalator now, relaxing so easily, each number taking you deeper and deeper into trance.
4. Deeper and deeper, gliding effortlessly deeper and deeper down, becoming
more and more relaxed with every number that passes
3. As you approach the bottom of the escalator you drift deeper and deeper into trance, becoming increasingly open to the suggestions that you hear. That’s fine, so deeply relaxed now.
2. Almost at the bottom now, and as you reach the bottom you can step off the
escalator easily and naturally, the moment you step off the escalator you fall into a deep, deep trance…. And…..
1. At the very bottom now, as you step off the escalator you become ten times
as relaxed, going even deeper into trance. That’s fine, you are doing really well….

You find yourself standing at the bottom of the escalator now, just in front of you there is a bed, a very special bed, a bed of dreams. Should you clamber onto this bed, you will instantly fall into a deep, deep sleep. But not the kind of sleep that you enter at night, a special kind of sleep, for this is the bed of trance and when you clamber upon it you will enter a deep, deep hypnotic sleep.

Clamber upon the bed now and allow yourself to sink deeper and deeper into the soft comfort. As you sink into the comfort you fall into a deep, deep……. RELAAAAX! 

That’s fine… The kind of sleep where you can dream, a special kind of hypnotic sleep, where you can dream that you are standing before a wonderfully comfortable bed, a magical bed, a bed that can realize your dreams. As you clamber upon this bed you fall into a deep, deep… RELAAAAX! 

The kind of sleep where you can dream… Dream that you are going deeper and deeper now, deeper and deeper to…. RELAAAAX! A special kind of sleep, where you can still hear my voice, a wonderfully relaxing sleep, where you are free to dream, dream that you are listening to the sound of my voice, hearing these suggestions like seeds, planted deep in your subconscious mind.

That’s nice, isn’t it. You may want to linger in this resourceful state for a moment. Let the wonderful energy replenish you and know that every problem will be resolved easily when you tap into this resourceful energy. The limitless energy is always in you, at your disposal.



In the next few moments I will count from 1 to 5. When I reach the number 5
you will be completely awake and feeling absolutely fantastic. With each number that I count you become more and more alert, until on the number 5, you open your eyes and are wide awake.

1. Beginning to awaken now, aware of my voice and the room around you.
2. Waking from the trance state feeling fantastic, bringing with you all that you have learned.
3. Aware of your body now, and the position of your arms and legs.
4. Stretch your arms now as you begin to open your eyes, feeling refreshed and excited about your trance experience.
5. Eyes open and wide awake. Feeling fantastic! Well done!
