Hypnosis

So I spent all weekend at a hypnosis convention, and now I am jazzed about telling people all about it!

If you have any hypnosis related questions, feel free to ask below.

Would you be interesting in hypnotizing people now that you've learned about it?

I am working on building up the confidence to actually hypnotize someone, but right now no, especially not online.

[dannyfanny720]

I've never been hypnotized, but I always thought it was just the person going along with a roleplay. As you build your confidence and gain experience, sounds like you'll enjoy it more and more as time goes on. You'll probably start out with simple funny tasks, then get more deeper, get the people undressed a little or completely, and have even more fun.

Was it a workshop or classroom setting they taught it?

To start I would probably just stick with a rather basic up/down. Then once you have your trancee conditioned to you as a tist, then you can start doing more things. Considering I am rather asexual, I don't have any interest in doing sexual things.

They offered both workshops and classroom settings. Also, there has been a ton of time to socialize and just talk about it as well.

So how exactly does hypnosis work? Can anyone be hypnotized?

I have been a hypnosis subject before,they was some of the most amazing experiences. I highly recommend it to any submissive person.

Great topic, i think, looking forward to reading more about it. My question to you is, can a subject be hypnotised without knowing about it?

Great question! Yes you can. It is called convert hypnotism. That relies more on NLP. The biggest thing with covert is being sure you have consent from all people involved.

In a sense, all hypnosis is self hypnosis. If you do not want it to happen, it won't. However, hypnosis mixed with NLP or gaslighting could make a person "think" they want it, even though they really do not. That is why consent and negotiation are so important in hypnosis. Gotta keep those minds safe!

Hypnosis is a natural state everyone finds themselves in every single day. Some examples include after you just wake up, as you fall asleep, or even while you are driving when you "zone out". All those are considered a trance state. So yes, anyone can be hypnotized. You just need consent and their modality to best suit the induction for them.

Hypnosis works in a ton of different ways. There are a ton of inductions, modalities, and "end goals" of hypnosis. You can make it suit for what you and your partner are willing to negotiate.

Consent and negotiation are KEY!

All of that depends on the person being hypnotized. Some people rather sit up, some rather lay down. Some like lights on, some like lights off. It depends on what you would find comfortable.

For me, I like the light to be low (because the bright lights hurt my eyes), air to be cool (because I don't want to get sweaty), laying down on my bed (I am a flopper and since I primarily listen to prerecorded files I feel safer starting laying down).

Find what works for you. What may help is think about how the environment is set up for when you relax. So think about those times you have been relaxed, what was the environment like?

I've watched a couple of the "hypnosis" videos out of curiosity. They seem to fall into two different categories. The first is more of an instructional video. The person on the video basically tells you what to do and what you want. The second appears to be a subconscious effort at hypnosis, fast, deep music, constantly changing pictures, flashing by so quickly that it is impossible to fully absorb what is on the screen, along with words flashing by just as quickly.

With what you have said, I am under the impression that the "subconscious" ones would have little effect. Could you comment?

What you're talking about is the subliminal effects. It's an approach to send a message or in this case, suggestions and ideas while the subject isn't fully aware of them. It has what you said, images that fly by too fast to comprehend on what is happening, words that flash and disappear before fully reading. The music is also there to mask other audio so that your conscious mind is focused on the music but there's underlying tracks that are being played underneath that which contain suggestions and such. There's other stuff subtly guide the person to things done by subtle cues to get their mind focused on certain things.

The "instructional" type is simply a guided trance.

There are lots of categories of hypnosis files. It varies based on what qualities you are categorizing by. Are you looking at modality style, induction style, type of suggestions, etc. The way I am understanding your comment, it seems like you are talking about two different types from different categories.

What you referred to as an "instructional video" sounds like an authoritative approach and uses direct suggestions. In these files/sessions the hypnotist will use more direct language. An example would be "You will feel ____". The opposite of this is a permissive style and using indirect suggestions. An example of this would be, "You might feel ____". Both are valid techniques. Many variables go into deciding which may be the "better" style to use during a session.

Hypnosis files can utilize subliminal (what you referred to as "subconscious") messages. This can be presented in many different ways and the effectiveness can be debated. The key thing with subliminal messages is that you still have to be able to process the information. It may happen so rapidly that you don't realize you have processed it, but your brain still needs to be able to detect the stimuli. So if someone tries to add a subliminal audio track, but your ears don't detect the sound waves, it won't be effective. With words flashing on a screen, it has to be there long enough for you to actually see it and read it. Keep in mind though, your brain can read much faster than you may realize.

Can subliminal messages work? Sure! You just have to ensure the person's brain can actually detect the stimuli. This can lead into some conditioning topics. Conditioning can easily turn ugly, so I won't be talking about how to do that here.

Basically, different things have different effects for different people. That is why negotiation and consent BEFORE any play is super important. It gives you time to learn about the other person.
