Settling and preparation
Imagine yourself in a space that is quiet and private. Allow your body to relax, to become heavy as you settle into the moment. Feel the support beneath you, whether it is a couch, a bed, or the floor. Let the outside world fade away, and focus your attention inward. Begin by noticing your natural breath, how the air enters your body and leaves, in its own rhythm. Do not try to change it yet, simply observe. Feel the coolness of the air as it enters your nostrils, the warmth as it is exhaled. Notice how your chest rises and falls, how your abdomen expands and contracts. This is your starting point, your foundation. As you breathe, allow yourself to become curious about the sensation of your breath. Notice the subtle movements in your body, the gentle expansion and contraction of your lungs. Feel the air as it flows through your airways, filling your lungs and then leaving your body. There is no need to rush. Your breath is your guide, your anchor, in this moment. Let your mind settle, let your body relax. Each breath is a reminder that you are here, safe and present. This is your time, your space. Let go of any thoughts that might be lingering, and focus on the sensation of your breath. You are preparing your body and mind for what is to come. Feel the weight of your limbs, the warmth of your skin, the comfort of your surroundings. This is a space of trust, of openness, of anticipation. Take a moment to set an intention for this experience. What do you hope to explore, to feel, to discover? Let this intention be a quiet companion as you move forward. Your breath is your method of connection, of communication. In and out, in and out. With each breath, you are preparing yourself, opening yourself to possibility. There is no need to hurry. Take your time, explore the sensations, the thoughts, the feelings. You are in control, and you are safe. As your breath continues to flow, allow yourself to feel a sense of calm, of tranquility. Your body is ready, your mind is open. You have set the stage, and now, you are ready to begin the journey. Begin to feel the rhythm of your breath as the voice begins to guide you through the next phase. Trust in the process, and let yourself be carried forward by the flow of each breath.
Induction (breathing, descending into trance)
Now, let us synchronize our breaths. Feel the gentle rise and fall of your chest as you inhale and exhale. The voice will count for you, guiding you through the breathwork. There is no need to count yourself, simply follow along. Inhale, and exhale. As you inhale, feel the cool air fill your lungs. One. Hold the breath, feel the moment of suspension. Two. Now, exhale slowly, releasing the air as you feel the warmth on your lips. Three. Again, inhale deeply. Four. Hold the breath, feeling a sense of grounding. Five. Exhale slowly, letting go of any tension. Six. With each breath, feel yourself becoming more relaxed, more connected. Seven. Inhale, filling your body with tranquility. Eight. Hold this peace. Nine. Exhale, releasing any lingering stress. Ten. Notice how your body feels, how your mind is becoming more at ease. Elevate your breath, deepen the connection. Feel the rhythm, the flow, the pulse. Each breath is a step into the trance, into the experience. Eleven. Inhale, and as you do, feel your body becoming heavier, more relaxed. Twelve. Hold the breath, and with it, hold the moment. Thirteen. Exhale, and feel the tension leaving your body. Fourteen. With each breath, you are descending deeper, further into the trance. Fifteen. Inhale, and feel the calm enveloping you. Sixteen. Hold the breath, and with it, the tranquility. Seventeen. Exhale, and feel the release of any remaining resistance. Eighteen. Continue this pattern, allowing the breath to guide you. With every inhale, feel the connection growing. With every exhale, feel the release of everything but the present moment. The voice will keep the count, so you can focus solely on the sensation, the experience. Feel the breath as it moves through your body, as it becomes the focus of your awareness. There is no need to think, to analyze, to control. Simply breathe. Let the breath take you where it will, and trust in the journey. As you continue to inhale and exhale, feel yourself becoming more attuned to the sensations, more connected to the experience. The breath is your guide, your anchor, your path to the trance. With each cycle, feel the rhythm, feel the flow, and let it carry you deeper, further into the experience. This is your time, your space, and the breath is your conduit to the trance. Trust in the process, and let yourself be carried away by the flow of each breath.
Deepener: Going Further Down
Close your eyes softly and settle into the space around you. You're safe, you're comfortable, and every breath you take is steadying. Every exhale you release is carrying away any tension or distraction. Begin to feel the weight of your body. You're deeply grounded. Notice how the air feels on your skin, the texture of the surface beneath you. You can feel the pulses of your own life, the rhythm of your heart. Now, let your mind begin to relax and wander. It's okay to drift, to let thoughts come and go, for you are here to explore. You're going deeper. Deeper into a state of relaxation. Deeper into a state of openness. Deeper into a state where words and breath will guide you. Let your breath deepen. Inhale slowly, draw the air in, feel it fill your lungs. Hold it for a moment, suspending time. Then exhale, long and smooth, releasing any remaining tension. Feel the breath count for you, keep the pace. Breathe in, 1-2-3-4, hold, exhale, 1-2-3-4-5-6. Notice as you continue this cycle, how your body becomes heavier, how your mind becomes clearer. You're sinking deeper, safe and supported. Inhale, 1-2-3-4, hold, exhale, 1-2-3-4-5-6. With each breath, you're letting go of the outer world. Each exhalation, you're diving inward. You're now ready to explore. Ready to listen. Ready to feel. And ready to breathe.
Core Body: Breathwork-JOI
Now the breath becomes the focus, the anchor, the guide. We will move together, you and I, in this dance of air and sensation. Every instruction will begin with a breath, and you will find the rhythm of your body aligning with the rhythm of the air. Trust the voice to count your breaths, so your mind can release control. Let go and follow. Breathe in, 1-2-3-4, hold, exhale, 1-2-3-4-5-6. Feel the air as it enters, reaching the deepest parts of you. As you exhale, let it take with it any hesitation. You're ready to begin. We will explore the sensations of your body through breath. Start with the journey inward. Inhale, 1-2-3-4, hold, exhale, 1-2-3-4-5-6. As you inhale, imagine the air traveling down, down, down, filling your lungs, your chest, your abdomen. Feel it expand, touch every part of you. Inhale, 1-2-3-4, hold, exhale, 1-2-3-4-5-6. With each exhale, release tension, release resistance, release anything that doesn't serve your pleasure. The breath is now your conduit. Inhale, 1-2-3-4, hold, exhale, 1-2-3-4-5-6. Feel the warmth of your breath, the life within it, connecting you to this moment, to your body, to the sensations building. Inhale, 1-2-3-4, hold, exhale, 1-2-3-4-5-6. The heat of your breath translates to the heat of your body. The rhythm of your breath becomes the rhythm of your desire. Inhale, 1-2-3-4, hold, exhale, 1-2-3-4-5-6. You can feel it now, the arousal rising, the anticipation growing. The breath is guiding you, shaping your experience. Trust it. Follow it. Inhale, 1-2-3-4, hold, exhale, 1-2-3-4-5-6. With each breath, the sensations deepen, the pleasure intensifies. Inhale, 1-2-3-4, hold, exhale, 1-2-3-4-5-6. The breath is now the steady beat of your pleasure, the pulse of your desire. Inhale, 1-2-3-4, hold, exhale, 1-2-3-4-5-6. You are lost in the breath, lost in the sensation. Let it build, let it take you. Inhale, 1-2-3-4, hold, exhale, 1-2-3-4-5-6. The breath is both the journey and the destination. Inhale, 1-2-3-4, hold, exhale, 1-2-3-4-5-6. You are at once in control and completely surrendering. Inhale, 1-2-3-4, hold, exhale, 1-2-3-4-5-6. The breath, your partner, your guide, your pleasure.
Deepening and Sustaining (a long, held stillness)
Find a comfortable position. Close your eyes. Feel the weight of your body as it settles into the ground beneath you. Breathe naturally, slowly, deeply. As you inhale, draw the air in through your nose, filling your lungs completely. As you exhale, let the breath out through your mouth, slowly, steadily. Feel the rise and fall of your chest, the gentle expansion and contraction of your ribs. With every exhale, feel yourself sinking deeper, deeper into a state of relaxation, of readiness. Now, let us begin. Inhale, two... three... four... hold, two... three... four... exhale, two... three... four... hold, two... three... four... That is the pattern for this phase: inhale, four... hold, four... exhale, four... hold, four... Begin again. Inhale, two... three... four... hold, two... three... four... exhale, two... three... four... hold, two... three... four... With each cycle, you are sinking deeper, deeper into this breath, into this present moment. Feel your body becoming heavy, grounded, still. Your thoughts are quieting, your mind is expanding, and with every hold, you are becoming more and more present in this experience. Inhale, two... three... four... hold, two... three... four... exhaling, two... three... four... holding, two... three... four. With each hold, you are sustaining this moment, sustaining this breath, sustaining this stillness. Feel the energy in your body, the anticipation, the desire. It is building with every cycle, slowly, steadily. You are in control. You are safe. You are here, in this moment, in this breath. Inhale, two... three... four... hold, two... three... four... exhale, two... three... four... hold, two... three... four. As you continue, feel the sensations growing, the pleasure building, but do not rush. Stay here, in this breath, in this moment. You are deepening, sustaining, and you are in complete control. Inhale, two... three... four... hold, two... three... four... exhale, two... three... four... hold, two... three... four. Continue with this pattern, moving through the breath, through the sensations, through the pleasure, slowly, steadily, deeply. With every cycle, you are deepening, sustaining, and you are in control. You are safe. You are here, in this moment, in this breath. This is your experience, your journey, your pleasure. Inhale, two... three... four... hold, two... three... four... exhale, two... three... four... hold, two... three... four. Continue as long as you need, as long as you desire, in this deep, sustaining stillness. As the voice guides your breath, let go of all else. There is only the breath, only this moment, only your pleasure.
Gentle Emergence and Return
With a gentle sigh, you begin to shift. The stillness is beautiful, but it is time to move, to emerge from the depth of that held breath, and return to the world, to your body, to your desire. Follow the voice, let it guide you as you transition. Inhale, two... three... four... exhale, two... three... four... Feel the breath moving more freely now, more naturally. The holds are no longer necessary. Your body has settled into this new rhythm, this new phase. As you breathe, feel your awareness returning, but gently, slowly. You are not rushing, not forcing. You are emerging, like the sun breaking over the horizon, like the first light of a new day. With each cycle, you are becoming more present, more aware, but still, in this moment, your pleasure is yours to explore, yours to sustain. With every inhale, feel the energy rising, the desire stirring. With every exhale, feel the release, the connection. You are here, you are now, and you are in control. Inhale, two... three... four... exhale, two... three... four... Feel the sensations building, the pleasure unfolding. It is gentle, it is steady, it is yours. As you emerge, you are returning to your body, to your desires, and you are welcome there. Inhale, two... three... four... exhale, two... three... four... Let your mind wander, let your imagination take you where it will. You are safe, you are present, you are in control. The voice will guide you, the breath will carry you, and you will explore, you will experience, you will return to the world, to your pleasure, to yourself. Inhale, two... three... four... exhale, two... three... four... Continue, continue to breathe, to move, to explore. You are returning, emerging, and you are someone who deserves this experience, this pleasure, this moment. Inhale, two... three... four... exhale, two... three... four... As you come to the end of this phase, you may feel a sense of completion, a sense of return. You are here, you are now, and you are whole. The breath has carried you, the voice has guided you, and you have experienced, you have explored, you have returned. Inhale, two... three... four... exhale, two... three... four... Take a moment, take a breath, and when you are ready, you may open your eyes, return to your surroundings, and carry the experience with you, into the world, into your day, into your life.
