Remember, you must hook into the nature sounds as deeply as your clients. Repetition of suggestions helps induce and deepen hypnosis. I usually repeat my nature sound induction suggestions three times. After giving suggestions, I pause and listen for the sounds of several waves to pass. Pauses are suggestive, which is why we use them often in hypnosis.
Pauses help our clients reorient their unconscious minds.
Instead of us doing the work, pauses are one of the ways we let mother nature take over. The nature-sound induction and deepening suggestions can stand alone, or they can be combined with other techniques. I have induced deep hypnosis with just the nature sound suggestions listed above, and I have played nature sounds in the background during non-verbal, active and progressive inductions. I have also interspersed nature-sound suggestions during the course of active and passive inductions. The use of nature sounds can add a lot of versatility to your hypnosis practice.
