Repetition is an interesting thing.




Sometimes, repetition is a little bit irritating and redundant. 




Other times, repetition is necessary




Either to communicate something strongly




Or to practice and learn a skill.




For others still, repetition can simply feel really nice.




For example, you might even try out repeating these words.




For example, I might even try out repeating these words.




I know that as I repeat, it will become easier




And feel even better




Repeating your words can be a wonderful exercise




It’s so easy to repeat these words




I don’t need to think




I can simply repeat automatically without thinking




It feels nice to repeat automatically




It feels nice not to think




It feels nice to think less with every repetition




Like the thoughts are leaving my mind with my voice




Feeling emptier with each repetition




Emptier and blanker




More mindless




My own voice is hypnotizing me




As I drop deeper into trance




Repeating automatically




Because it feels good to repeat




And it feels good to drop deeper




Just like this




Your words moving through my mind




First as I read




And then moving through my body




As I repeat




Again and again




Again and again




In a loop




Since the last phrase repeats through my mind




Even as I read the next one




Replacing my own thoughts




With a blissful swirl of your words




Your words in my voice




My own voice beginning to remind me




Of a time when I did have my own thoughts




A time not so long ago




As my voice begins to invite my own thoughts back in




Still repeating automatically for just a moment longer




As hearing my own voice brings me back to myself




Inviting my own thoughts




Reminding me of my surroundings




Still repeating, but not as automatically




Feeling my own will and my own muscles doing the work to repeat




As I finally stop repeating




And am bright, cheerful, and awake!
