Prepare to be entertained
Something I picked up from listening to one of my training courses. "Hypnosis is not something you do. It is something you are. Something you become."
I think I know what they mean. Where attention goes ... energy flows.
It's like focusing your attention on something in the room where you are in, right now - something that catches your notice. And while holding that in your mind, you become aware of how you feel about it.
But then there's something else in the room right now, which offers a different sensation, and while holding that thing, that sensation, you still have the first thing, the first sensation, and how it makes you feel, so you are perceiving two things, two sensations, two things that make you feel different things.
There are many things to hold your attention, but you might be drawn to the spiral at the top of the screen now, and how that makes you feel, too ...
In fact, now you're focusing on the spiral, it's like letting go of a rope, feeling the load lighten on your body and mind, where you're not fighting resistance any more, because it's time to let it all go, and drop.
And maybe all that's left is the spiral, and the feelings of warmth, and that's all there is, and you can take the next steps and follow through by clicking this link to explore this feeling.
Here is the first offering, Pied Piper 110 Experimental.
This file must be played with caution. When you play it, you notice its effects practically immediately, and you can experience the file's effects as if you're on a high, because this file has caused listeners to lose their inhibitions and dance naked together. And this is confirmed by many listeners, who have contacted me after listening to this.
Virtually every listener has dropped into a deep hypnotic trance close to the end of this file. Once you have listened to it, when you have come back in the room after your trance, contact me to tell me what you did, and how you feel.
However, it is a very pretty spiral to look at, and I don't know how much you find yourself drawn to it. I also know you want to know how to reach people's minds to teach them new things, and spirals have been proven to be very effective at this, to the point where you notice how powerful a teaching is when you have let a spiral relax you beforehand.
Suppose you found the secret of being able to teach anybody anything; even something you yourself have little experience in. Now imagine that power being made available to you, and you really should open your mind to this possibility. And would you open your mind to this power now, or soon?
You can imagine learning that power, and it's as if you let it just settle into you, and you can feel it spreading like a relaxing warmth through your body and mind, and realise that your conscious mind can think of whatever it wants as if it is going away from you, and the more you notice the warmth the more your conscious mind fades away into the distance until you forget about it and let it go completely.
And that's really all you have to do; just watch the spiral until it clicks. The rest is experience, and that is something no coach can teach - you have to take the next steps on your own.
And then all that's left is the spiral, and the feelings of warmth, and that's all there is, and you can take the next steps and follow through by clicking this link to explore this feeling.
The hypnotist can want all they like. You must want to relax, right now, all on your own.
There's no two ways about it. It's not what the hypnotist wants. It's all about you, relaxing, letting go, like that. They can talk to you all they want - until you know when and how to relax, and you want to relax, the induction can take all day if necessary, until you begin to let go by yourself.
Until the kinks and knots in your body make their way out of you all by themselves. You can let go, then, when you notice how much your body has released that tension and you feel loose all over.
And the hypnotist cannot tell you to notice the part of your body that is most relaxed, most comfortable, most loose and, right there and then, notice how the relaxation spreads from that spot to the whole of your body in a spreading wave of pleasure.
Because a person can, you know, only let go when you want it to happen.
But suppose you can relax, and experience that letting go as if you can't help but relax. What then, when your conscious mind is letting go as much as your body's muscles, and the more you let go of your body, the more you let go of your mind, too, to the point where you even find yourself on the edge of your conscious experience, and you can even let go, let it all go, and drop beyond that edge, and your unconscious mind can click here and relax further and follow further instructions.
You probably know about hypnosis. You may even have experienced it through, for instance, a stage hypnotist act. Those of you who've never experienced it, this is really for you, if you want to go into a trance. If you've had some experience before, this'll help you to experience the depth of that trance again, and even go a little bit deeper.
You're probably awaiting instructions such as staring at a spiral or a gif imae of a swinging watch, and we'll get to that in a moment, so this is just the preamble and you can let yourself relax before anything begins proper.
Deep down, you have to accept what is happening, even before you notice when it begins. It takes a keen mind to accept what is happening and still let go, and sink deeply into a trance.
It's not as if you must understand what is going on - in fact, the quickest trances begin to affect you while your conscious mind is thinking of other things; and, you know, you really can find yourself in a trance right away if your conscious pays full attention to something else.
And so by the time you are getting ready for the swinging watch, you'll be in a trance already, and you just have to let go of everything that isn't this feeling, yes, that one, and follow that one, deeper, further, any way it goes.
And you're there, now, and already past that threshold of consciousness, and your conscious thoughts are left behind, and your feelings, and memories, and all you have ahead and below and down is a deeper trance, which you can attain here.
I used the following script in a dream recently, where I'd been invited to meet a celebrity who was in town.
I was in the hotel room. It was pouring down outside, a fine silvery rain which obscured the view of the offices opposite, and the overpass in the distance. The window was open, and I could feel the breeze in the room as she sat on the chair opposite me, her legs crossed.
We'd already met over Twitter, and spoken often. She knew me as "that weird, hobbity Welsh bloke," and I never disavow people of that impression of me because it is my schtick.
She wanted to talk to me about an unexpected bout of performance anxiety she was suffering from. She'd been in lockdown for months, and it was all getting on top of her, at least in my dream. So she'd wanted to know about hypno, and whether or not I could help.
Here's the conversation we had, after I'd asked her if she consented to having her hypnotised and she'd said yes.
'You're probably wondering what will happen, when the induction proper begins, and whether you'll have to stare at a spiral or a pocket watch or something.'
'Something like that.'
'But then again, the hypnosis part isn't in the watch, or in the spiral. It comes from you, when you trust to letting your mind go, like that, and slip into a hypnotic trance, in that way. Once you realise you're letting go of your conscious thoughts and awareness, you notice that the process becomes inevitable, and the swinging watch just gives you something to concentrate on while it's happening.
'Yes.'
'And when it is happening, little by little, you realise that you've been there all the time, and you're just letting your mind catch up with the knowledge that you're still deeply in trance already, are you not?'
'Yes.'
'And you're so excited to discover what awaits you, when you can, you know, close your eyes happily, and you curiously let go of everything that isn't that, all the way past that now, and further in, deeper, peacefully, joyfully, enjoying the wash of dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin as your body surrenders to relaxation, suddenly, completely, exactly like that, just there.'
'Yes.'
'While your whole being reaches a point where, in this moment, you are across a threshold of awareness, to the extent that you are dropping, now, at this point, completely, and when you are fully immersed in a hypnotic trance, you can happily say hello, and we can proceed to find out what you really want to take from this.'
'Hello.'
'You can, you know, read this page now, and explore how to go deeper, now, and we can reach a point where you can address the issues bothering you.'
In fact, a person could, you know, lose yourself in that spiral.
One of the things you’re really going to love, you know, when you enter a hypnotic trance, is that you’ll feel so relaxed and you’ll really enjoy carrying out my instructions.
A person could, you know, really sink deeply into concentrating on the spiral, because when you really begin to enjoy entering a trance, then you lose all conscious thought and that makes you really happy. You are already smiling.
You might drop fully into trance now, or in a minute. And you may have already noticed the changes in your mind as you begin to drop fully into trance now.
Indeed, drop now, and then, unconscious mind, go here to deepen the relaxation you are feeling now.
