Advanced Ending
"I want you to set a key word. This word can only be used by you, internally. The only way this word can work is for you to take a deep breath...then take a couple normal breaths...and when you choose to take a second deep breath, you say this word as you exhale. As you say this word, to yourself, you will immediately close your eyes and slip down into a deep, relaxing sleep, all the way to as far down as you are currently rested...or even further. Every time you do this form of self-relaxation...self-hypnosis...meditation...or whatever word makes you feel better...you find that you can go even deeper than you did the last time.
"No one can ever speak this word to you and have any effect upon you. Let us set this word now...and the word is 'Quid.' "
(or any other word that you would choose...I suggest Quid as it's one syllable, uncommon in the US English language, and easy to say in a whisper)
"Okay, now I am going to count from five to one. When I get to one, you will totally awaken from this place, this state of mind, and you will feel energized, you will feel love, you will feel great joy and happiness, and it's all because you simply want to feel that way.
"Five...four...three...two...one...wake up..."
