Xavious,
Your comments seemed thorough and sensible, but my impression of your email was that it was a bit arrogant, as if you're a teacher grading a paper -- a teacher with superior knowledge giving pointers to a student. This may of course be the case, but I think you might get a more positive response if you wrote from the perspective of an appreciative user. Not that I'm good at this sort of thing myself, LOL.
Forex, you say "watch the sudden change in your tone at times." Good advice, presumably -- I don't know that file but I've had the same problem myself with others. But it's a command and it sounds like you're lecturing -- indeed, it's the opposite of your suggestion that Luggy "try to make the potential subject feel safe and in control, like you're suggesting, not demanding". Whereas when you wrote, "You saying 'push' louder actually shocked me out of the trance I was falling into" in the next sentence, I didn't get that impression.
I think framing this as personal experience might be more politic. And also framing it in a positive perspective, e.g., begging with "Loved your files and I've listened to blah blah with good results," and expressing things as possibilities ("I wonder if it would work better if you did this," or "it may only be me, but . . . "). E.g., when you say "Try to make the potential subject feel safe and in control, like you're suggesting, not demanding," that might work best for some people, but not for others, depending on their goals and their relationship to authority. So if you say "for me, anyway," it leaves open that possibility and lets the hypnotist gather info about what works best for most of his listeners or for a given type of file.
And when you say "try to speak as a suggesting force," it implies that the hypnotist may not be capable of doing this, whereas if you said "if you spoke as a suggesting force, it seems to me that it might . . . "
Of course, despite my efforts, I'm doing the same things you did, but I didn't say I'm good at this. :-)
