Complex equivalents"As you close your eyes, you become more comfortable..."Closing the eyes is made equivalent to become more comfortable.
Mind reading"You are easily able to make sense of this as you become more curious about exactly what you are going to learn..."This suggests a natural curiosity that will help the client.
Nominalization"As you sink deeper into relaxation and your comfort grows, so the ease of your learning can be a source of delight..."These nominalizations are so multilayer-ed that they lead the conscious mind in a series of transderivational searches. They lack any specific information, so the client make sense of them in any way that suits them best.
Cause-effect"As you breathe deeply and easily, each breath will make you more and more relaxed..."Cause-effects links what is happening naturally (pacing) with the outcome wanted (leading). The cause-effect is the transition between pacing and leading.
Presupposition"I don't know whether you will feel more relaxed before or after you close your eyes..."This presupposes the outcome (to close the eyes).Other presuppositions are: "Do you want to learn something else now?" (You have learned something). "Don't go into trance yet..." (You will go into trance).
