A while back I wrote a hynosis thing for my micro (amiga). It was pretty crude as it was
a Cshell script that sent words to a speeech synthesizer, but the content of it was
as follows
this was taken from the book:

---------------------------------------
technique-wise self-hypnosis is no different from *real* hypnosis. All you do is
substitute the word "You" with I my mine ....
---------------------------------------
I want you to find a comfortable place to lie down.
Lie on your back, with your arms resting by your side.
You are lying on your back and already feeling a little relaxed.
In a moment you will enter a state of complete relaxation, also
known as hypnosis or trance.
You will feel as if every muscle in your body has gone limp.
Your whole body, from the top of your head, to the tips of your
toes will feel numb and relaxed.
You will concentrate on my voice at all times. If I stop speaking
for more than half an hour, you will automatically come out of
trance feeling refreshed and fully awake.
In the event of an emergency you will automatically come out of
trance and be fully awake. You will be able to do whatever is
necessary to get out of the crisis.
You may not enter the state of hypnosis while in control of any
kind of machinery, or where remaining awake is important.
You may enter the state of relaxation only if you are lying or
sitting down, listening to this tutorial, under the guidance of
an experienced hypnotherapist, or under self-hypnosis.
please close your eyes.
to start the relaxation here are some deep breathing exercises.
take a deep breath in through your nose. hold it for a second.
breathe out through your mouth, and go limp.
you can feel your body relaxing already.
do this, slow inhalation and quick exhalation, three or four
times. keep your eyes closed.
deep breathing is a very effective way of relaxing. It also helps
to lower your pulse rate.
it will be easy for you to continue this deep breathing for the
remainder of this tutorial.
From now on, you will be able to concentrate on my voice. You
will ignore any other noises, no matter how loud they may be. If
someone wishes to talk with you, or there is an emergency, you
will awaken from trance feeling totally refreshed, and in full
control of your body.
The next time, you will easily enter an even deeper state of
trance.
Your muscles are already beginning to relax. As your muscles
relax, you will feel a pleasant sensation of numbness coming over
you. It usually begins with your feet and legs growing numb.
Next your hands and arms will grow numb, And then a very pleasant
sensation of numbness will spread over your entire body. You will
begin to enter a state of complete mental and physical
relaxation. It is a wonderful feeling to relax, and you are going
to relax from your head to your toes. You will begin with your
mind.
You will ignore any other noises. If you hear a noise it will
make you feel more relaxed. Your mind will listen to every word I
say, and refrain from thinking or doing anything else.
Your mind will, in a few moments, become lazy. So lazy that it
will think of , and do nothing. Your mind will see only
darkness, emptiness , a complete blank. You will hear, feel the
meaning of, and live, every word I say.
Your mind is relaxing now. As your mind relaxes, the relaxation
has begun to spread to every part of your head . Every nerve and
muscle in your head is relaxing. You can feel the tenseness
leaving your head . Now the skin and flesh on your forehead is
softening up, smoothing out, relaxing. All the tenseness,
wrinkles and frowns have left your forehead.
As you breathe deeply: the muscles in your throat are relaxing.
As you swallow: You can feel your throat relaxing.
The relaxation is spreading into your jaws. As you open your jaws
slightly: your jaws relax.
Your tongue, teeth and gums are all relaxing. You can feel them
growing numb.
The relaxation is spreading out into your lips, which hang
loosely and comfortably.
The numbness and relaxation continues to spread across the whole
of your face. Your chin, cheeks, nose and ears; are all relaxing
and growing numb.
Your entire head is growing more numb, and the relaxation is
spreading into your eyes.
The numbness travels through the bottom eye lid: across the
eyelashes: and into the upper eye lid. You can feel the tension
leaving your eyebrows. The relaxation enters your eyes. You can
feel every part of your eyes becoming relaxed: and pleasantly
numb. The numbness enters the centre of each eyeball, first the
left, and then the right. The numbness in your eyes grows larger
and larger: expanding to fill both eye sockets.
You are driving out all the tension from the muscles in your
chest: your neck: the back , and the top of your head. You can
feel the relaxation going down, deep down, between your shoulder
blades, and right down your spine. The relaxation has traveled
through each of the bones in your spine, and is now at the base
of your spine. Every muscle in that region of your body is
relaxing. As those muscles and nerves relax, a very pleasant
sensation of numbness, and detachment is spreading over your
entire body.
I will now count from ten to one. At each number, every part of
your body will become twice as relaxed.
ten. you are twice as relaxed.
9. ... you are four times as relaxed.
8.
7.
6. ... you are relaxing all the time.
5. you are going deeper into relaxation.
4. 3.
2. deeper, ... and ... deeper, feeling so ... relaxed.
1.
Every part of your body is feeling very, very relaxed. So
relaxed, that your body is pleasantly numb and feeling detached.
You are going deeper and deeper into complete relaxation of mind
and body. with every breath, you are getting more and more
relaxed.
You are driving out all the tension from both your shoulders. The
relaxation is traveling down your arms, through both elbows,
through the for arms, into both wrists, out through the palms of
your hands, and down into your fingertips. You can feel the
tension leaving every part of your body.
You are driving out the tenseness from the nerves and muscles of
your stomach and abdomen. The relaxation is spreading around your
waist, into the small of your back.
It feels so good: as the nerves and muscles in the small of your
back ,soften up and relax. it is so ...restful, so ...
comfortable. when you are ... deep, ... deep, ... deep asleep.
coming over you. You are going deeper; ... and deeper; ... into
complete relaxation of mind and body.
You are driving out, all the tenseness from the muscles in your
hips and thighs. The relaxation is traveling down your thighs;
through your knees: legs: and ankles: into the small muscles of
your feet. Feel the pleasant numbness, traveling through your
feet to the tips of your toes.
It feels so good as all the tenseness leaves your entire body.
Every muscle and nerve in your body, from the top of your head to
the tips of your toes, is feeling completely relaxed; pleasantly
numb; and detached. With every moment that passes, you are going
You are feeling so detached, that you can hardly feel you have a
body. You are experiencing a complete state of mental peace:
serenity: and tranquility.
You are now going to relax even more than you are at this
moment.
