Tonight's bedtime story is a gentle, hypnotic reading of the frog prints.

There are several versions of this story, and I've chosen to read the version by the Brothers Grimm.

I will be reading in a way that will help you ease gently into a restful sound sleep

by using my skills as a certified hypnotist.

We will start by settling in with a short hypnotic relaxation,

followed by the gentle reading of the story that will include some

hypnotic words and phrases strategically placed to help induce a sleepy state.

And so, my friend, without further ado, take a moment to settle in comfortably into your sleep space

in a way that feels restful for your body.

And as your body comes to rest,

your mind begins to slow down.

And as your mind slows down, you will follow the sound of my voice, focusing on the words that I speak, and your imagination will lead you on a wonderful journey

as I softly and gently read you to sleep.

Take a nice, slow, comfortable breath in,

hold briefly.

And as you release the breath,

allow the muscles in your body to soften and release,

sinking down and letting go completely into the surface beneath you.

That's right.

Sinking down, further and further down, into your bed.

And the more you let go, the more your muscles feel loose and limp. And the more your muscles feel loose and

limp, the more you let go. That's right. Now, imagine a pleasant feeling of relaxation swirling around the top of your head.
