Abrupt Cutoff

I sometimes get cut off by a session in mid-flow. Sometimes, it's the ISP - but sometimes, it's the client who, despite wanting a trance, suddenly gets cold feet and quits.

I just had one session end abruptly earlier today.

After a basic trancing and implantation of a trigger, I set up emails with the unconscious mind. Sending emails to that address was basically a way of communicating with the unconscious without the conscious mind knowing about it.

Yes, that really is as Manchurian Candidate as it sounds.

The one problem was that neither of us could get together at the same time for any period. But then the client finally visited her folks', and I managed to get online on time for the two of us to finally chat.

It was while her conscious mind was chatting to me about the weather and the like that I sprang the instructions to her, via a very cooperative unconscious mind which was almost a second personality inside her.

Her unconscious mind suggested that she take a bath. I told her to do so; her conscious mind told me that she had suddenly decided to take a bath.

Next, while she had lain in the tub for a few minutes, I told her unconscious to follow my orders, seize control of her body from her conscious mind, and get up out of the bath and step onto the landing, then stand there while her unconscious awaited another instruction from me.

The conscious mind then emailed me wondering why she'd suddenly felt this urge to get up out of the bath and wander naked onto the landing of her parents' house - also, why she had wanted to go into their bath in the first place.

But the real fun came with the next instructions. Her unconscious was then told to take her body downstairs into the living room, sit on the sofa and begin touching herself.

And that is what her conscious mind went and did.

Now bear in mind that she is naked, dripping wet, sitting on the sofa of her folks', masturbating while her parents are outside, in the garden.

As she was about to come, I relocated her into the kitchen - where her conscious mind texted me to say that she couldn't stop playing with herself, and desperately needed release.

Which I gave her.

And now this is the frustrating bit - I instructed her to go back to the bath, slip into the waters, then return to a deep trance and wake up in five minutes, with no memory of how she got back into the bath from the kitchens.

Since this afternoon just gone, I have heard nothing. Nothing at all. So frustrating.

And I only hope it's something technological, like her mobile phone falling into the bath and drowning or something, rather than something like her getting cold feet.

I have such good clients these days. Amazing, compliant, so much into hypnotic restraints and the whole being-controlled-by-emails thing. I hope I haven't lost this one; she is one of the best clients I have had since 2011.

Edit: No sign of her. If I don't hear from her on Monday, she goes into the Dormant List on Tuesday.

Edit: She's returned. I've since had a brilliant second session.

The Perfect Trigger

When trancing someone, I always install an anchoring trigger in my subjects. An anchoring trigger acts as a switch, bringing the mind back to the deepest part of trance in which you left the subject.

I enjoy inducing trances in people the long way - progressive relaxation, eye closure, light trance. Normally, light trance is all that I need. But sometimes it isn't enough. The conscious mind is too noisy and, while in light trance, it it normally content to sit and watch, sometimes it takes over and breaks the trance, or the conditioning is too strong and the old habits you're trying to break assert themselves as soon as you stop.

So sometimes, you have to bring about a deeper trance; a process that takes a little longer time than the initial induction, but is well worth it.

There are scripts, but I prefer my own, a script that I know works because I've used it on several induction files to deepen the trance immediately the eyes close. It takes time, but then I want it to take time, to let the conscious mind slip into trance. It takes as long as it would take for the mind to slip into regular sleep.

There only remains the trigger. Thus far, I've always used a verbal trigger - and I've had problems finding the best trigger, until recently, when a trigger has turned up, a simple phrase that I can adapt to all my future subjects - but I want to try something different next time.

I want to try a visual trigger.

Specifically, I want to try a small LED light, like a keyring torch or some such. Blink the light three times, and out goes the subject.

That'd work brilliantly for subjects I have to trance in person.

I'm thinking about this, because I'm still overjoyed at the success of one of my experiments so far. Trance-by-text.

I have developed experience enough that I can trance people in person, or across an ocean, by telephone, by email - even with a word in a subject line of an email or a line sent over Instant Messenger. I even have hypnotic status updates on Facebook.

So now I want to set other triggers that stimulate other senses. A scent of a given perfume triggers arousal; the taste of salt inspires pleasure. Things like that. Synaesthesia on demand.

I have a subject whom I will enjoy trancing and inducing deep trances in person. My next appointment falls this Thursday. I'll try some interesting experiments.

Hypnotic Erotic: The Next Phase

Once I discovered trancing, it was only a matter of time before I actually got my first official commission. I tranced one of my girlfriends - yes, I get through a lot of them. Don't ask - when she was having equilibrium problems after a fraught bus ride. It first scared her that she got turned on, and later it exhilarated her - and she asked me to come to her place to help me to trance both her and her sister.

Oh, the opportunities that presented themselves there ... but I kept my head on my shoulders, ignored the temptation and played the game absolutely straight down the line. I was being asked to help out with someone's problems. So be it.

This was the last time I got involved with sleep hypnosis. As with my other ex, the unconscious popped out in the middle of the night and actually called me by name. It wanted to talk. So I gave it the chance to talk, and I used my first anchoring trigger instruction.

The following morning, I tried out the anchoring trigger, and it worked. It was solid. From then on, with every client I would incorporate an anchoring trigger so I would not have to either trance them the long way around nor have to sleep with them.

And this has led to the current phase of operations - the time that I call "setting out on the path."
