Clear your mind, my pet. It’s time to go down for me. Clear your mind of all thoughts until it is as empty and hollow as a drum. I want you to relax. Take a deep breath. Unclench your jaw. Release your shoulders. It’s time to listen now to the sound of my voice as I guide you through this dream-like trance. Watch. Stroke. Relax. Dream. That’s all you need to do for me today. Nothing else is important. Nothing else matters.
