Group Induction Script

Begin with your pre-induction talk. 

(Ask any members of the group that should they open their eyes during this session to remain quiet for the benefit of other participants.)

Now…because there are a group of you…I want you to begin by closing your eyes…because…from this moment onwards…you can imagine…that I'm talking to you…and to you alone. So if your eyes aren't already closed…allow them now to gently rest…and take a nice long slow deep breath in through your nose…and hold that breath for the count of three (Therapist count out loud…1…2…3)…then exhale it slowly out of your mouth….relax your body.  Ensure that your feet are both flat on the floor and pay attention to your feet…become aware of the surface beneath your feet…now…and…feel…your…feet…becoming heavy…heavy…heavier…comfortable and so relaxed…and let go more and allow relaxation to happen…Allow your hands to rest gently on your lap…let them grow heavy…limp…let them relax…and let go…and take another long, slow, deep breath…hold it for the count of three…in through your nose (Therapist count out loud…1…2…3)…and breathe out.

Calmness and relaxation is beginning to flow down your body now…from the top of your head…all the way down to the tips of the toes…every nerve…every cell… every fibre…every muscle of your body…is relaxing nicely now…relaxing…letting go of tension…letting go…let go even more now and go deeper into relaxation.
