HELP! I Can't Be Hynotized!

Don't say you can't get into a trance, you CAN! Everyone does it all the time. Trancing with a file may take practice because everyone tances at a different rate. A session with a tist will do it for you.

Everyone can be hypnotized, and everyone is on a regular basis. Whether or not you can be easily hypnotized by listening to a pre-recorded file is a slightly different matter, since different people respond to different stimuli to varying degrees.

Like most things in life, practice makes perfect. Yes, you may have some degree of inherent "hypnotizability," as most of us have, and you may have less than some. But all hypnosis is self hypnosis, which means ultimately, you are the one who makes the trance happen, and if you practice you can get better at it.

My advice is to look again at the 2 out of 12 files that seemed to work for you... at least a little bit. Was there anything different about them, from the other 10? Did they have a certain tone, style, subject matter? See if you can isolate what it was about those files that made them easier for you to trance to, and seek out similar files. Maybe look at other offerings from the same authors/hypnotists.

I'm sure you are able to be hypnotized... but what kind of results you will see from listening to mp3s like the ones on this site has mostly to do with how dedicated you are to improving.

I'm just starting out with hypnosis as well. This is my second real try at it, the first one didn't go well and I became disheartened but now things are going better. I find that I have great difficulty with files that contain no bineural sounds but if I play a second file of bineural sounds in the background I do not encounter this difficulty. You may wish to re-try some of those files doing this to see if it helps.

From my understanding being in trance isn't anything super unique, we do it everyday. Have you ever driven some place, and don't remember driving there, but some how you got there safely. Trance is just a focused state for the most part, at least from my understanding. Id just listen to what you are listening to and maybe you are in trance, maybes are a lot better than a no in this situation. The only way you can really tell if you are in trance is very subtle things, most of which you have to view, which isn't really possible with your eyes closed. So id just say don't worry about it if you are in trance or not, you probable are to some degree.

Something I do that helps me at least is i do a meditation/trance sorta thing. I focus on the words and my breath and try to keep my focus on just those 2 things. Anyhow hope that helps

I am afraid I keep repeating myself, but you should start with simple inductions, not body or mind altering files.

Trancing to files is something your mind has to learn to an extent, so just like anyhting you try to learn, you have to start with the basics.

Compare it to learning to play tennis. Would you and try to qualify fro a grand slam the first time you hold a racket? Exactly.

So start with simple inductions that are only that, inductions.

Once they work properly (and it may take a couple of weeks for some people) you can move on.

Excellent post!
I will use a lot of what you state in here in my next files.
Thanks

I would add to the other excellent suggestions: maybe pick one file & stick with it. Listen every day (or almost) for something like two weeks--until you get bored with it. When that happens, it will sink in, because you won't really be paying attention. Then, at some point, you're sure to notice the effects.

Most of this stuff is not going to work on one listen.

I have done many files and have (in my opinion) no success whatsoever. I can get horny on some files but that doesn't mean success.

I think timing is a big issue. Most files they talk too slow and my mind ends up thinking about whatever.

Maybe I will put it to the test with cfg.

I too have had a lot of trouble with the files. I've tried atleast 10 of them and I've had no effects at all. I get into trance, but still nothing when I get waken up. There is something I'm doing wrong and I don't know what it is. I've done inductions and other things to help it... but the triggers don't work. Maybe I'm stopping myself from experiencing it?

From what I've learned, hypnosis is something you have to learn. Just because stage hypnotists seem to be able to do all kinds of crap instantly doesn't mean they actually are.

They like build up. Start with something small, like a weird feeling, then something larger light hot and cold in certain areas whenever their name is spoken or something, then carry on like that until they have them dancing on the stage like maniacs.

Until recently, if I'm honest, I thought I was immune. I've still had no results and I've been trying for a year, but now I know why. I just need a file to do something very simple to me.

Hi !
I had trouble to get into trance too. To be honest I still have. But actually some files I use are working. My method ? No trance! Two pieces of advice :
1° Add a background file to the ones you're listening. I do like Calimore's ones ("x minute Background Binaural"),
2° Listen to those files&binaural as you would do with music. Surfing on the web, consulting your email, reading? Headphones on ! And to conclude your session, I recommend one final listening before sleeping.
That's what I did, without minding going to trance or not and I get good results in something like two or three weeks : my files work and I'm going more and more sleepy every time I listen to them (for those with induction indeed).

So, hope I helped.

They'll all good suggestions. I suggest that if you want to be hypnotised (but have difficulty) try using a file that's about something you want to do in real life.

For example if you want to get fit, start exercising, jet yourself into a routine and then find hypno files that fit your goal.

It's easier for the effects of any file/video afterwards.

My experience is that we often come with a false idea about what trance is. For me this trance-experience, in which we forget everything and are really suggestible is very rare. I too couldn't get hypnotised but I started doing just 2 things new:

1. Paying real attention to what is being said, even making an effort to just pay attention to the voice. Forget the worries about going into trance or expecting something spectacular to happen.

2. Listening to the file everyday for at least 2 weeks. I often find that the files start working after 5 days or so.

I've seen so many posts like this here I made a file just for people who are having such trouble. Its called Samantha Sez. It is a plain vanilla hypnosis file, no kinks, no surprises. The TTS voice is the best on the site, so there are no issues with accents, heavy breathing, distracting lisps, etc. Try it. You'll like it.

I'm listening to a file at the moment and no matter how many times I listen its not working, its called becoming a jellyfish :lol:

[foxboroht]

For me, I have found deep breathing to be helpful. Once I had learned to regulate my breathing, I found slipping into a trance state to be much easier.

I have been having some difficulty also. So I tried using a spiral hypnosis video from Youtube. I actually managed to see the spiral stopped moving for a few seconds, it happened twice but I can't seem to do it again.
