Fractionation Script: Full Eye Open/Close Hypnosis Script to Read or Record
By Aria Wilde · updated 2026-10-18 · 6 min read

This fractionation script is the one I give people who ask for a deepener that actually works: three full cycles of eyes closed, eyes open, eyes closed again, each drop deeper than the one before. Read it aloud to a partner, record it for yourself, or use it as the middle of a longer file. If you want the theory behind why bouncing up and down deepens trance, my fractionation guide covers it. This page is the working script.
What this fractionation script does
Runtime: about 16 minutes read at roughly 90 words per minute. Structure: short opener, first drop, three open/close cycles, a hold at the bottom, wake-up.
| Stage | What happens | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Opener | posture, consent, breathing | 2 min |
| Drop one | eyes close, body softens | 3 min |
| Cycle 1 | eyes open on count, drop again | 2 min |
| Cycle 2 | eyes open slower, drop faster | 2 min |
| Cycle 3 | eyes open, drop to the floor | 2 min |
| Hold | suggestion slot | 2-3 min |
| Wake-up | count up to five | 2 min |
You need an induction before this script or you use the opener below as a light one. For a longer start, put my induction script in front. This script is a deepener, so it assumes the listener is already comfortable with eyes closed.
The script

(slow, level voice; every pause marked is real silence, count it in your head)
Settle into your seat. Feet on the floor or legs stretched out, whichever feels easier. Let your hands rest wherever they fall. You're in control the whole time, and you can open your eyes and stop whenever you like.
(pause)
Take a breath in through your nose. Let it out slowly. Again. And this time let the breath out carry your shoulders down with it.
In a moment I'll ask you to close your eyes. When you do, your eyes will feel heavy, and each time they close you will go deeper than before. Close your eyes now.
(pause, five seconds)
Good. Your eyelids are soft and heavy. Feel how easily they stay closed. Your face lets go: forehead, jaw, the little muscles around your mouth. With each breath out, you sink a little lower into your seat.
(slower)
I'm going to count from three down to one. On one, your eyes will open, and you'll look at me or at the room for a moment. That's all. Three. Gathering up. Two. Feeling the weight of your body. One. Eyes open.
(let them look for three seconds)
Notice how light that feels, how the room is bright and sharp. And when I say sleep, your eyes close again and you drop. Sleep.
(snap into a softer, lower voice)
Down. Much deeper than the first time. That's right. Notice how the heaviness comes back faster, and how it goes further down this time. Your arms are loose. Your legs are loose. Your thoughts are slowing and drifting.
(pause)
We'll do that again. Another count, and this time the drop will be twice as deep. Three. Feeling a little more awake. Two. Almost up. One. Eyes open.
(hold for two seconds, no more)
You've noticed that coming up takes a little effort now. It's more comfortable to be down. When I say sleep, you let go completely. Sleep.
(very soft)
Yes. All the way down. Notice how much easier that was. Your body knows this place now. It remembers how to sink, and every time you come up, it learns the way down a little better.
(pause, ten seconds)
One more time. This will be the deepest of all. Three. Rising just a little. Two. Eyelids lifting. One. Eyes open.
(only one second here; speak right over the end)
And sleep. Down. Gone. Eyes closed, mind quiet, body heavy and warm. Deeper than you've been all session. There's nothing to do. Nothing to think about. Just my voice, and the feeling of floating.
(hold; slowest pace)
Breathe. In. And out. Each breath out takes you further. You are deeply, comfortably relaxed. Every word I say goes in easily. Every word you don't need drifts past.
(SUGGESTION SLOT: place your affirmations, trigger installation or story here, two to three minutes)
(wake-up; brighter, a little louder, faster)
In a moment I'll count from one up to five. With each number you come up, clear and refreshed. One. Coming back. Two. Feeling energy in your hands and feet. Three. Deep breath in. Four. Almost there. Five. Eyes open, wide awake.
(end)
How to perform the cycles
- Shorten the eyes-open window each round. Three seconds, two seconds, one. The shrinking gap is what tells the mind that being open is a short interruption to something that is continuing.
- Speed up the drop word. First cycle, say sleep gently. Second, a little firmer. Third, almost clipped. The word lands on a body already leaning toward it.
- Keep the opened-eyes moment boring. Do not add instructions or surprises while eyes are open. It is a reset, nothing more.
- Count in your head during pauses. Five seconds feels long when you're reading. A recording with pauses of two seconds sounds rushed and breaks the effect.
Changing the script

You can trade the word sleep for any short cue: drop, down, release, a name, a sound you make. Listeners who work with a personal word, as in my trigger and anchor path, often attach it to the third drop, since that is the deepest point and the strongest pairing.
For a seated listener doing this alone, record the script with a pause after each one long enough to open the eyes and look at a fixed point, then close them to your own voice. A fixed mark on the wall helps; it gives the eyes a single place to land.
If you want to shorten it, drop to two cycles and cut each pause to four seconds. That gives a 10-minute version that still works. If you want it longer, add a fourth cycle but keep the eyes-open window to one second. Past four cycles the returns are small.
A pre-talk to read first
Two minutes of talking before the script saves you trouble later. Say out loud what will happen: I'll ask you to close your eyes, then open them on a count, then close them again. We'll do that three times. Each time it will feel easier to go down. You can stop whenever you want. Naming the pattern in advance does not weaken it. It removes the small spike of uncertainty that otherwise pulls the listener out on the first open-eyes moment, and it turns the whole exercise into something they are agreeing to rather than something being done to them.
Agree a stop signal too: lifting a finger, or simply saying "pause". Then watch for it. A listener who knows they have a way out almost never uses it, and goes deeper because of it.
Reading it for a partner versus recording it

Live, you can watch the face. When the eyelids flutter and the jaw slackens, you have your cue to push on; when the shoulders stay up around the ears, add another breath and wait. A recording cannot watch, so it needs slightly longer pauses and a gentler first cycle to cover slow starters.
For a recording, leave the room quiet, speak about a hand's width from the microphone, and take one clean pass without re-reading mistakes aloud. A small stumble inside a pause costs nothing, because the listener is already past noticing it by cycle two.
Common mistakes
- Rushing the opener. If the listener has not settled in the first two minutes, cycle one will not deepen anything.
- Talking during the open eyes. Silence there keeps the contrast sharp.
- Skipping the wake-up on a file that is meant to end awake. Always bring them up with the count. My awakening script has a longer version if the listener drives or works afterward.
- Piling suggestions in the first drop. Wait until the third. The first drop is shallow and the mind is still checking you.
- Monotone delivery. Slow does not mean flat. Let the voice drop in pitch on down and deeper and lift slightly on eyes open.
Where to use it

Put this script in the middle of a session, after an induction and before the content. Done well, it takes someone from light relaxation to a place where suggestions land without effort. If you want to hear it done, my free Sink for Aria is built around this pattern, and the full beginner route runs through the Sissy Academy path.

Frequently asked questions
How many cycles should a fractionation script have?
Three is the sweet spot. One cycle barely deepens anything, two works, and three gives the clearest staircase effect. Beyond four, listeners tend to tire or start anticipating the pattern, which flattens the result. Shorten the eyes-open window each round rather than adding more rounds.
Can I record this fractionation script for myself?
Yes. Read it at about 90 words per minute with real pauses, leave the suggestion slot empty or fill it with your own affirmations, and play it back with headphones. Self-recorded scripts work well because the voice is familiar, though you may need a second take to get the pacing slow enough.
How long should the eyes stay open between drops?
Three seconds in the first cycle, two in the second, one in the third. Long enough for the eyes to focus, short enough that the listener never fully returns to normal alertness. If someone looks around the room, you waited too long.
Does fractionation work for everyone?
Most people feel something, but depth varies. If the listener is tense or distracted the first cycle will be shallow. Run the script a few times across several days; repeated sessions usually deepen because the body learns the sinking pattern.
What if the listener does not close their eyes on the cue?
Wait, repeat the cue once in a softer voice, and carry on. Forcing it makes people self-conscious. Often the eyes close on the next breath. If they stay open all session, treat it as an eyes-open hypnosis session and keep the pacing.
