Don't expect too much, Dingus. No file is a silver bullet. I suggest you try a less ambitious file than enchantedkeyboardcurse, and preface it with a nice, relaxing induction file.
Just lie or in a place you're comfortable (I personally prefer my bed, in a "corpse" position), and start up some hypnosis files. Close your eyes, keep your breathing slow and steady, (though I disagree with Nuit, I find his method more distracting and suffocating than helpful), and relax. Don't let yourself be distracted by loud noises or anything, just focus on the file. Keep trying it, again and again and again. I've heard that for most people it takes a month of regular listening to fully achieve even minor results.
If you fall asleep, you're too tired. Do it earlier in the day.
If you itch, or have pain, tough luck. You'll just have to hope it doesn't show up too badly or try to ignore it.
Another tip: visualization is key. Think of exactly what you want the result to be. No matter what some people would have you believe, hypnosis is NOT a passive process. You have to make a special effort not to just "tune out" from what EMG is saying.
