My wife and I are trying to use hypnosis for relaxation (perhaps fun later) and are having difficulty seeing results. Granted we've only been trying for a week. I'd like to know if anyone has suggestions for getting started. What to listen to, what to expect (realistically), what sort of environmental issues to factor, mindset, etc.
We'll appreciate any help. Thank you.

well, myself, i am curious what you use to listen to the files, earphones, speakers, or ear buds. it has been my personal experience that a good set of ear buds are good to use for listening to files. had a set that was worn to the point they played louder on one side than the other, and as a result i was unable to focus, then i ended up getting me a new pair that played the same volume in both sides and i can now get back to going under trance. i dont have much luck getting the files to work but, i can once again achieve a level of trance where i feel like i am starting to float.
i still see myself a novice with trance but, do recommend using ear buds to listen to the files as it seems a bit easier to focus. i have also found rythmic breathing to be of a great deal of help, breathe in for 2 seconds, hold for one second, and out for 2 seconds. something like that. take 2-4 deep breaths at the beginning of the file, and hold each one long as you can. by the 3rd or 4th breath, when you exhale, you may feel a strange sensation, almost a numbness.
hope this post helps.
