Hypnotic Erotic: Later Experiments

Following on from my early apprenticeship in hypnosis to Miss G, I mostly used hypnosis with a small black obsidian stone. It was easiest for me to use props to induce trances, back in the day. However, I was a quick study - and I managed to learn how to trance people without props.

The first time I tranced someone without a stone, just my words alone, was with one of my exes. This was before the turn of this century. We were in a hotel room. I showed her how to trance. She let me trance her, but I'd forgotten my stone so I just used words. Just as effective.

I remember watching her sink slowly into trance, opening her eyes once in a while, giggling - not really believing what she was doing, but doing it anyway - until she finally relaxed, her eyes closed.

I did not really know how to check for the depth of her trance. I just winged it. It seemed to work: she had some fears, and I managed to help her get over them. I'd only started learning NLP at the time, but I could relate to the idea of reframing sentences to avoid anchoring negativity in an instruction.

Obviously, this was not the last trancing I would do without a stone. The story of my experiences with hypnosis will continue, and include some serious missed chances.
