A Challenge for all Hypnotists

[Marjask]

If there is anything close to an unhypnotizeable subject, I likely would fit the profile.

For many, many months I have been listening to the most praised files on this very site, including Lutz's famed Bubble Induction, with little to no results.

That's hardly to say I'm giving up. I'm still going to pursue my chosen course.

However, to all willing hypnotists, I offer you a challenge that you may pursue at your own leisure: Successfully hypnotize me, and you will be the first to ever do so. However, I'm not particularly into hypnodomination; only transformative effects that can be brought on by hypnotization.

If you wish to take me up on this challenge, please send me a PM.

How exactly dont you go into trance? Be more specific.

The best advice i've ever gotten is to not try. Kinda hard, i know. try listening right when you get home or when you really need to relax. Chill out like you normally do for 5 minutes or so, then slip the earphones on and just keep chilling out. You've heard the file over and over. its gotta be pretty boring by now. Think about something else if you want and when you feel like it, let your attention drift back to the words. Don't force anything- concentration or otherwise. Also, consider your senses. For me, visualization isn't too strong. I can't "see myself walking down a wide staircase", but i can feel sunlight and sand weighing on me.

I also totally agree with "thisguy" about the trust issue. I've heard files from people that i thought just sounded a bit shady- couldn't go under. I had to find a voice that i liked, could listen to, and was simply relaxing.

Try Blink's files. The induction is 100% clean and you can used to the voice. Super easy to zone out. Then try good boy/girl. It uses some of the same elements as the induction.

Good luck!

You sure he reads your mind and does not control it? *j/k*

Sorry could not resist ;)

so you sit there listen to the whole file - remember some of it some times.

Are your eyes closed?

Do you have any desire to move? If you do, do you move?

Do you listen to the whole file and then get up when the file is finished?

What do u expect trance to be like?

Answer these questions and i'll tell you if your trancing or not.

Erm, actually, the reason I don't move when I want to is because I'm afraid I'll break any chance of achieving the trance, and force myself to remain still, which really doesn't help.

Also, I close my eyes because the lights are out, and once again, in an attempt to actually achieve a trance.

[whatthe75]

So basically no matter what ever i say you will disagree with me?

my thoughts exactly.

Marjask, I really do sympathize with you. It took me so long before I found something that worked for me. Honestly, trance is not really what you expect it to be. Not at first, at least. If you've tried a particular file for a long time and you are seeing no results, try something else. What I might suggest is trying a bunch of different styles- each for maybe a week or so. Do basic files- benign files that aren't overly sexual or anything. Try EMG, Cardigan, Lutz, Blink....they are all different styles and very different voices. Find one that doesn't annoy you. I'm incredibly high strung....little things annoy me very easily, so just finding a voice and style that i could listen to and not want to turn off was difficult! It was only when i found a voice that i really liked that i could enter trance.

Also....and i know i'm going to get yelled at for this....try listening after having a few glasses of wine (1 or 2). Don't do it every time, and don't do it if you're drunk bc thats going to do no good, but if you're like me, one glass of wine is enough to relax you and get you into a blah mood. OR try listening when you find yourself spacing out during the day.

Thats all i got, let us know how it goes :)

A little update for you all that are still watching this topic: minor success, then pretty much nothing. It seems like whenever I listen to a file for more than two days in a row, it just doesn't effect me as much as before. TrigStallion used to leave me forgetting bits of it that I didn't even know had happened, and Blink's basic induction also did pretty much the same. But now, it's just...hmm...I'm not trying or anything, just laying there, listening past the words and paying little attention, and that's all that occurs. I'm gonna keep listening, as always, but that's just a small update.

Marjask,

Reasons why people choose not to enter trance (yes that's right, this is something you are doing to yourself) is because they either lack trust in the hypnotist, have fears and/or misunderstandings about hypnosis and what it is, or are using a poor induction.

I cant really offer concrete advice as you aren't in my office, though I myself found I had to go through different types of inductions before I found one that put my lights out. Progressive relaxation-based inductions are pleasant enough, though for the most part, will bore the living hell out of an analytical person, usually resulting in the falling into a natural sleep because of it (or looking at you like your a crossbred retarded spider monkey).

If a person works through the things I've mentioned above, whether in the form of self-study or visiting a good hypnotherapist, then there is no unhypnotisable person, just an uneducated fearful person.

I found it interesting that over your subsequent posts in this thread, you went from saying you were trying to now "I'm not trying or anything, just laying there". What you seem to be overlooking is fears and miseducation will often sit in the subconcious and be out of your concious awareness, thus, to you, you are doing everything and still nothing happens.

Incidently, I am a qualified clinical hypnotherapist who has helped well over 600-700 people successfully enter into deep hypnosis, in the time I've been practicising, the only people who haven't entered a deep (somnambulistic level) trance state, did so because of a fear they hadn't discussed.

The difference however is all those that enjoyed a deep hypnotic experience took the responsibility for their own mind, and with that went much deeper. Oh, and just to help your own understanding, you enter into altered states of conciousness daily, meaning without you even realising it, you've entered another variation of hypnosis every day of your life. (Got to love a bodies biorhythmic rate).

Hope this helps you on your journey,
Phuzzled

This has somehow gone from a request for a person to hypnotize me to a bunch of people telling me that the files will work, despite the fact that it is what I am doing, and that I alternate between Blink, Lutz, EMG, and Cardigan every few nights, without a care, because frankly, I have stopped caring about trying to go into hypnosis, and they now serve as merely a means to get me tired enough to fall asleep.

[whatthe75]

Sleep happens when you go too deep in trance.So what you are saying is that they are good enough to get you really deep.

Ok so everyone seems to have got you wrong - me included.

What are you asking for?

[Marjask]

Any hypnotist that would like to add me to their list of successes.

[Marjask]

Giving this a bump, 's been over a few weeks.

[Marjask]

One more bump, should anyone still be interested.
