"Inhale longer and lighter; exhale quicker and heavier."
"Inhale—, exhale, inhale—, exhale, inhale—"
"Very good, now exhale lighter and slower, but still keep a rhythm faster than inhalation."
"Inhale—, exhale..., inhale—, exhale..."
Accompanied by the rhythmic sounds, Chen Ting's body, which had just tensed due to recalling the traumatic event, began to relax.
Visibly, her brows gradually smoothed out.
"Now, let your attention follow my guidance and feel the changes in your body."
"First, the arms."
With Nan Zhubin's words, Chen Ting's fingers, which were slightly trembling, began to calm within ten seconds, until they completely ceased moving, entering a state resembling sleep.
"Then, the head."
"The torso."
"Finally, the legs."
This is not hypnosis, but a special meditative state.
In this state, Chen Ting remains conscious.
