The Deepening Tool

Find a comfortable position where you can remain undisturbed for the next thirty minutes. You may sit or lie down, whichever feels most supportive for your practice. Let your hands rest naturally at your sides or on your lap, whichever is most comfortable. Close your eyes when you're ready, or allow them to close naturally as we progress. You've done this many times before, and your mind knows exactly how to find its way into deep trance. Today we'll be working with a specific tool, an internal anchor that you can develop and strengthen through repetition. This tool becomes more powerful each time you use it, creating a reliable pathway to profound depths. Allow yourself to be curious about how deep you can go, trusting that your unconscious mind will take care of everything. [2 second pause]

Feel the weight of your body against the surface supporting you right now. [2 second pause] Notice the temperature of the air on your skin, perhaps cooler on your face, warmer where your body meets the surface beneath you. [2 second pause] And I want you to try not to think about your left foot while you notice your breathing while you don't listen too carefully to my words while you wonder whether you're going into trance or already there. [2 second pause] And as you don't think about that foot, or maybe the other foot, you can notice the weight of your hands while not noticing them, while your eyes are closing or open or somewhere in between. [2 second pause] And I wonder whether you'll go into trance quickly, or whether you already have, or whether you'll wait until after you've already gone deep to realize how deep you've been. [2 second pause] Because your conscious mind can try to follow all of this while your unconscious mind simply relaxes, and the more you try to understand, the more you don't need to, the more you can just let go. [2 second pause] And which hand is heavier now? Or are they both lighter? Or is one heavier and one lighter while both are the same while neither is what you expected. [2 second pause] It doesn't matter, because understanding is overrated, and confusion is just another word for the conscious mind giving up, which is another way of saying trance. [2 second pause] So whether you know what I'm saying, or don't know, or partly know, you can simply STOP. [2 second pause] Stop trying. [2 second pause] Stop figuring out. [2 second pause] Stop holding on. [2 second pause] And SINK. [2 second pause] Down into the comfortable simplicity beneath all the confusion. Where everything makes sense by making no sense. Where relaxation is effortless. Where you simply ARE. [2 second pause] That's right. Just be here now. Deep in trance. Deep in peace. [2 second pause]

And now that you've arrived here, in this place that your mind knows so well, this private space that belongs only to you, I want you to begin noticing what it feels like to be completely alone with yourself in the most peaceful way. [2 second pause] This is your internal sanctuary. A place where nothing races, where nothing needs to be figured out, where you can simply exist in the quiet comfort of your own depths. [2 second pause] Notice the quality of stillness here. [2 second pause] It's not an empty stillness, but a rich, full presence. Like the deep calm at the bottom of a clear lake, where the surface ripples never reach. [2 second pause] Feel yourself settling into this stillness more and more with each passing moment. [2 second pause] And because you've done this many times before, because your mind and body know this pathway so well, you can appreciate how each journey inward is both familiar and uniquely profound. [2 second pause] Today we're going to deepen this pathway. [2 second pause] We're going to create and strengthen a tool that you can use whenever you want to access this depth quickly and reliably. [2 second pause] This tool will become yours. Private. Personal. Always available. [2 second pause] Imagine now, in this deep quiet space, that you can sense a presence, an energy, a shape beginning to form. [2 second pause] It might look like something, or feel like something, or simply be a knowing that something is there. [2 second pause] This is your depth tool taking form. [2 second pause] It could be a sphere of soft light. [2 second pause] It could be a smooth stone that fits perfectly in your palm. [2 second pause] It could be a symbol, a sound, a color, or something entirely unique to you. [2 second pause] However it appears to you, or even if it doesn't appear at all but simply exists as a felt sense, this tool represents your direct line to deep trance. [2 second pause] Let it become more real now. [2 second pause] More solid. [2 second pause] More present. [2 second pause]

And now, with your depth tool beginning to take shape in your awareness, we're going to use repetition to anchor it deeply into your unconscious mind. [2 second pause] Each time I guide you through this process, the tool becomes stronger, more powerful, more instantly accessible. [2 second pause] So let's begin. [2 second pause] Focus on your tool now. [2 second pause] Notice everything about it. [2 second pause] And as you focus on it, feel yourself being drawn deeper. [2 second pause] Deeper down. [2 second pause] That's right. [2 second pause] Now let it fade slightly, as you come up just a little, not all the way, just enough to notice the contrast. [2 second pause] And focus on your tool again. [2 second pause] Feel it pulling you down, down, deeper than before. [2 second pause] That's right. [2 second pause] Each repetition takes you deeper. [2 second pause] Let it fade again, coming up just slightly. [2 second pause] And focus on your tool once more. [2 second pause] Feeling that immediate pull downward, even deeper now. [2 second pause] Deeper into trance. [2 second pause] Deeper into peace. [2 second pause] Your tool is becoming stronger. [2 second pause] The connection is becoming more solid. [2 second pause] Let it fade slightly. [2 second pause] And focus again. [2 second pause] Down you go, even deeper. [2 second pause] That's right. [2 second pause] Let it fade. [2 second pause] And focus. [2 second pause] Down deeper still. [2 second pause] Each time you focus on your tool, you drop faster and deeper into profound trance. [2 second pause] Let it fade. [2 second pause] And focus. [2 second pause] Dropping down now, deeper and deeper. [2 second pause] The tool is working. [2 second pause] The pathway is strengthening. [2 second pause] Let it fade. [2 second pause] And focus. [2 second pause] Down, down, down. [2 second pause] So deep now. [2 second pause] So profoundly relaxed. [2 second pause] And now I'm going to count from ten down to one. [2 second pause] With each number, you'll focus on your tool and drop twice as deep as you are right now. [2 second pause] Ten. [2 second pause] Focus on your tool, dropping deeper. [2 second pause] Nine. [2 second pause] Twice as deep now. [2 second pause] Eight. [2 second pause] Feeling the tool pulling you down, down, down. [2 second pause] Seven. [2 second pause] So much deeper. [2 second pause] Six. [2 second pause] Every layer of resistance falling away. [2 second pause] Five. [2 second pause] Halfway there, so incredibly deep. [2 second pause] Four. [2 second pause] Your tool is bright and strong in your awareness. [2 second pause] Three. [2 second pause] Dropping, dropping, dropping. [2 second pause] Two. [2 second pause] Almost to the very bottom. [2 second pause] One. [2 second pause] Deeper than you've ever been. [2 second pause]

And in this profound depth, this private sanctuary where only you exist, where all the racing thoughts have dissolved into stillness, you can begin to understand the true power of your tool. [2 second pause] This tool is not separate from you. [2 second pause] It is a part of you that you're learning to access consciously. [2 second pause] Every time you use it, you strengthen neural pathways in your brain that lead directly to deep trance states. [2 second pause] Every time you focus on it, you're teaching your nervous system how to drop quickly and profoundly into relaxation. [2 second pause] And because you practice daily, because you return to this work again and again, your tool becomes more powerful with each session. [2 second pause] Think about that for a moment. [2 second pause] Every single time you use your tool, it works better. [2 second pause] Every single time you focus on it, you go deeper, faster. [2 second pause] This is the power of repetition. [2 second pause] This is the power of your commitment to this practice. [2 second pause] And now, in this deepest state, I want you to experience your tool in a new way. [2 second pause] Imagine that you can step inside your tool. [2 second pause] Or that your tool can expand to surround you completely. [2 second pause] Feel what it's like to be held within this creation of your own mind. [2 second pause] Safe. [2 second pause] Private. [2 second pause] Profoundly peaceful. [2 second pause] Notice that within your tool, there is no need to figure anything out. [2 second pause] No need to race from thought to thought. [2 second pause] There is only being. [2 second pause] Only presence. [2 second pause] Only depth. [2 second pause] And from this place, you can make a simple agreement with your unconscious mind. [2 second pause] The agreement is this: whenever you consciously focus on your tool, your unconscious mind will immediately begin guiding you into deep trance. [2 second pause] It doesn't matter where you are or what you're doing. [2 second pause] It doesn't matter if your eyes are open or closed. [2 second pause] The moment you bring your tool to mind, the process begins. [2 second pause] Automatically. [2 second pause] Effortlessly. [2 second pause] Reliably. [2 second pause] Now let this agreement sink deeply into your unconscious. [2 second pause] Feel it becoming a permanent part of how your mind works. [2 second pause] You don't have to remember it consciously. [2 second pause] Your unconscious will remember for you. [2 second pause] Focus on your tool now, and feel the agreement being sealed. [2 second pause]

And now, while you remain in this profound depth, let's practice using your tool in your imagination, so that your mind becomes even more comfortable with this process. [2 second pause] Imagine that it's tomorrow. [2 second pause] You've set aside time for your daily practice. [2 second pause] You find a comfortable position, and you close your eyes. [2 second pause] And then you simply focus on your tool. [2 second pause] Notice how quickly you begin to drop. [2 second pause] Notice how your body responds almost immediately. [2 second pause] The relaxation flows through you like a wave, and you're transported to this deep, private sanctuary. [2 second pause] Faster than before. [2 second pause] Easier than before. [2 second pause] Because you've practiced. [2 second pause] Because your tool is stronger today than it was yesterday. [2 second pause] And now imagine a few days from now. [2 second pause] You're doing your daily practice again. [2 second pause] You focus on your tool, and it's like dropping through a trapdoor into deep relaxation. [2 second pause] So fast. [2 second pause] So smooth. [2 second pause] So reliable. [2 second pause] Your mind knows exactly what to do now. [2 second pause] The pathway is well-worn and easy to follow. [2 second pause] And imagine a week from now. [2 second pause] You've been practicing every day. [2 second pause] Your tool has become so powerful, so immediate in its effect. [2 second pause] You can access deep trance states in moments. [2 second pause] The racing thoughts that used to chase you have nowhere to run in the presence of your tool. [2 second pause] You are alone with yourself in the best possible way. [2 second pause] Private. [2 second pause] Peaceful. [2 second pause] Profoundly relaxed. [2 second pause] And imagine a month from now. [2 second pause] You've strengthened this pathway dozens of times. [2 second pause] Your tool is now an integral part of how your mind works. [2 second pause] You can access deep states of trance whenever you need them. [2 second pause] The skill has become second nature. [2 second pause] Automatic. [2 second pause] Reliable. [2 second pause] Yours. [2 second pause]

And now it's time to begin returning to your everyday awareness, bringing with you all the benefits of this deep trance work. [2 second pause] Your tool remains with you, always available, always powerful. [2 second pause] In a moment, I'm going to count from one up to five. [2 second pause] At the count of five, you'll be fully alert, fully present, feeling wonderful and refreshed. [2 second pause] One. [2 second pause] Beginning to feel the energy returning to your body. [2 second pause] Two. [2 second pause] Taking a deep, refreshing breath. [2 second pause] Three. [2 second pause] Feeling your fingers and toes, moving them gently. [2 second pause] Four. [2 second pause] Your eyes beginning to open, feeling clear and bright. [2 second pause] Five. [2 second pause] Eyes open, fully alert, fully present, carrying your tool with you into the rest of your day. [2 second pause]

As you continue with your day, know that your unconscious mind continues to strengthen the pathways we've created today. [2 second pause] Every time you use your tool, it becomes more powerful. [2 second pause] Every practice session deepens your ability to access profound trance states. [2 second pause] Trust the process. [2 second pause] Trust your mind. [2 second pause] Trust yourself. [2 second pause] Until next time, continue your daily practice, and enjoy the deepening. [2 second pause]
