NLP Exercise Relaxation Script

During the Certified NLP Practitioner course, we were asked to administer the various techniques of NLP in our manual. After the second or third day, I started to pick up Dr. William Horton’s own opening and adapted my own.

You find below the extract of the email, i.e. my findings:-

Whenever you are ready, just close your eyes. Take a deep breath and relax. Let yourself to let go and relax. Every time you take a breath you become more relax. Every time you take a breath, the more relax you become.

Listen to your heart beat. Hear it, feel it beating inside you. With each beat you become more and more relax. Another beat, the more you sink into relaxation.

Don’t try to resist it – the more you resist, the more relax you become. The more you feel rebellious, the more you let go.

That’s it. Take a deep breath and relax.

<Start the 1st step here, e.g. Godiva Chocolate Pattern, New Behaviour>.

My personal remarks following this is as the following:-

If you chose to gesture, gesture according to the breathing pattern of the client/patient. I snap my fingers to act as an anchor or emphasis. You may use other means which you, again, feel is right or looks ok.

You do this naturally: feel the words come out of your mouth with ease. When you are calm and relax, so will your client be. And the more calmer you are, the easier it is for you to go through the pattern. To quote Dr. Horton’s Mind Control – Mastering the Art of Constructive Influence, tell people what you want them to do! (p. 56, Mind Control).

If you want to use ‘don’t', use it to go towards your direction. Instead of "Don’t panic!" Or "Don’t worry", say "Don’t think about you being relax because the more you do, the more you let go".. Or something along that lines.

Be simple. Use simple primary school words. Just in case the client/patient is not familiar with that particular word you are using. Bombastic is the last thing you want to think of.

Just as I have shared with my peers, I share this with you.

Cheers!
