FALLING SHADOWS INDUCTION
Description: The falling shadows first induction is followed by a metaphor of going to sleep that acts as a gentle relaxing deepener.
Principle: The deepener works by invoking images of little animals snuggling down and this connects to childhood memories of feeling relaxed and sleepy when you feel warm and safe.
Advantages: Nice and soft slow relaxation that you can pace with the client's breathing.
Disadvantages: Make sure your client is comfortable with ideas of darkness and countryside, and has no negative memories to do with bedtime.
Uses: Just a nice change from the standard deepener for people who say they like going to the country to relax.
Extensions: You can move the action anywhere that has a special meaning for the client, vary it to a desert scene, etc.
