Scripts are very easy to assemble.  All you need are a Preamble, a Beginning, a Middle, an Ending, and then a Contract which wraps the entire process together as one unit..

• The Preamble explains exactly what you want to have the listener accomplish in the process of the hypnosis experience.
• The Beginning should be an induction approach, which basically bores the individual into subconscious sleep. 
• The Middle should be whatever you want to accomplish in your session. 
• The Endings should be to awaken the person.
• The Contracts are the key to scrypnosis, for all hypnosis is self-hypnosis, and thus, all listeners are the only ones doing the hypnosis. So, the contracts enforce this by requring for a listener to sign an agreement which accepts all liability and all responsibility, thus rendering all other participants to be free from any liability whatsoever

NOTE:
If a person does not have a great ability to imagine things vividly, successful use of hypnosis for that person, in general, may never work.

Whenever possible, fully awaken someone after a session, before letting them go into natural sleep. Subconscious sleep is great if one is already proficient at Lucid Dreaming.  Otherwise, without a script to follow, Subconscious sleep can be a bit intense, for the brain does not distinguish between what is real and what is imagined, and the mind's eye (imagination central) takes over as the field of vision. Thus, the person is in control, but until proficient, such control can be way too much control at far too soon a stage.

The Basic Induction is best for early users:

First, a person moves every muscle group in the body,
which causes electrical tension to contract each muscle.
Relaxation is easier this way, for one can feel the tension, and then relax against this.
However, with paralyzed people, the approach is to ask them to imagine they are relaxing these muscles.
Although they cannot feel the actual sensations,
they should be able to shut out the phantom sensations through this process.
This lasts from a count of ten (10) to a count of seven (7).

At six (6), the mind is distracted to other concerns, educated on what are not important,
and then is sent on its way into a paradoxical "Floating down on a cloud" sequence.

Five (5) and four (4) are set forth to affirm that the body is acceptable just the way it is.

Three (3) through one (1) are more of the "Floating down on a cloud" techniques

From here, the basic script moves to a visual imagery test.

The use of objective statements coupled with subjective questions
allow the script to guide the direction,
but have the patient deepen their experience,
for the subjective questions are instantly answered by their subconscious.
For example, when told that a person is standing, on a warm day, in a field,
and now sees a house out in the distance...when asked,
"What color is the house and who's standing in front of it?"
the answers come immediately, adding dimension and depth to the experience.

Based upon the responses given, one can more easily gauge how "hypnotized" a person is.

Select a script suggestion and paste its text after the induction,
or just print its text and read it after the induction.
In either case, the middle is the scope of what you want to accomplish.

If you are using a script for fantasy travel or fictional adventure,
I highly recommend you repeat, from time to time,
"You will feel no pain."

If you are going to use hypnosis for therapy, I highly recommend trying the "All-in-One" script.
It works for people of whom have emotional problems,
and you only need to use it once.
Just add, where it states you can, the additional suggestions you want to enhance the script.
It already has the basic induction and the advanced ending.

Endings

Most people will want to just end the session.  The basic ending is ideal for a quick getaway.

The advanced ending adds a post-hypnotic suggestion
which will allow the person to self-hypnotize far more easily in the future,
but places that control only in the hands of the patient, not the reader.

Contracts

What makes Scrypnosis work is the requirement of the listener to sign a contract so as to forever more be changed by this experience both from a legal standpoint (of accepting all liability and responsibility, as all hypnosis is self-hypnosis) and from the perspective that an unsuccessful hypnosis session is solely the failure of the listener (for the listener must control the situation to the listener's level of comprehension).  If the listener doesn't like the wording, the listener must change the script to his or her cognitive levels.  If the reader's voice annoys the listener, then that person shouldn't have been chosen to read it.  If the lister doesn't trust the reader to be honest to the script, that is also the listener's problem.  

Hypnosis doesn't make you powerless.  Instead, it makes you all-powerful.  However, as you begin to learn this stuff, you may finally begin to realize what unlimited control you truly have.
