ESDAILE STATE

(clients 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 wont 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 . . .
