Keep Reading for some text that contains hypnotic language, mild suggestions to kneel and empty your thoughts.
Or you can just enjoy the video of this tomboy enjoying kneeling for her hypnotist as she stares up with a blank look on her face :)
Don't you want to look like her? Kneeling on the ground as something comes into view from about? You aren't allowed to move your head, that would make it too easy. Looking up with just your eyes, just like her, so that you can feel the strain as you desperately attempt to keep your train of thought. Your ability to think becomes just so much more difficult when your eyes are rolled back like hers. She looked pretty far gone, didn't she? Don't you want to look like her? Wouldn't it feel good to feel what she was feeling? With those eyes fluttering, glazing over, and kneeling down. Needing a hypnotist's hand to hold that head up just so you can keep looking at that object as the loop begins again.
With each passing moment, it becomes harder to think, sitting like this, with those eyes rolled up so far, kneeling on the ground in a position fitting that of a subject. Thinking is hard, so why not just sink? Let me hold your head up, while all those silly little thoughts drain away. It's hard enough to keep your focus and attention on that point as your eyes flutter and roll even more. As each breath washes another wave of obedience over you. It's just so much easier to let those thoughts drain as you stare. Don't think. Just sink. You don't need to think, I'll do all the thinking for you. You don't need to remember. You can just forget for a time. Let those thoughts drain as your eyes flutter and roll even more. All you need to do, is kneel, just like that. Looking up at that sparkly point. As all those thoughts drain away as you become more and more empty. Only able to follow the instructions given to you. Like a good, wonderful subject would.
Of course, kneeling for someone you trust will bring you to that nice state of bliss, making it so easy to do what you already want to do. You don't need to think, you just need to focus, listen, and kneel. Just like that. At least, when you are being my little subject. You can allow yourself to return back to normal and continue on with your day. Waking up on your own time, because it's no longer mine. Coming all the way back Now, wide awake, feeling ready to continue on with your day.

I love the idea of hypnotizing someone into being a posable doll. The kind that is attached to a stationary rod, has ball joints, and a turning key. They get a glazed, faraway look in their eyes, because dolls aren't meant to think. The doll's body remembers what to do, while the mind is an empty shell. I can grab a hand and put it anywhere I want, and the ball joints in the arm will hold that hand in place. Wouldn't that be fun?
Fun Flavor text with a small induction below the Keep reading break, or you can simply just enjoy the video of the cute girl dropping herself to her own pocket watch as it clicks and she sinks to that place she always finds herself wanting to go back to.
There is nothing quite like the safety of a pocket watch. There are so many uses for one, so many things to focus on. The spiral built special for this particular watch that draws you in. The back and forth as it swings, slowly rocking those thoughts away. The ticking and clicking of the gears, able to bring your attention back to where it ought to be. There's nothing else that needs to be done. Nothing that needs to be said. You can just melt into that feeling. Relaxing away all that tension. Just allowing those thoughts to drift away as you drift away. My words becoming all you need to focus on. All you need to pay attention to. Because, of course, all that matters is that feeling of Trance.
Because it feels good. It feels good to go into Trance.
To follow along.
To simply.
~Drop.
All the way.
Just like that.
Feeling those feelings.
Resting that head.
Enjoying the peace.
Knowing you are enough.
And that you can take just a little bit of time out of your day.
To do something you enjoy.
Allowing yourself to begin to come all the way back.
And continue on with your activites.
In 1.
Feeling yourself becoming more aware.
and 2
Stretching as you awaken on
3, Waking all the way back up, Ready to enjoy the rest of your day.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed your stay, brief though it was.
Wow. A room. A spiral room. With Spirals. She just can't look away. The spirals are absorbing all her focus. What you would look like... in a room filled with spirals? I wonder... would those spirals... take your attention too?
I found some fun toys to play with in VR. If you pay attention for too long, the clicking and ticking can really get to you. You may even end up looking like the cute girl in the video… who knows.
I've been interested in the concept of phenomenological control lately. That is to say, I've been interested in the ability people have to turn imagined phenomenons into reality, and how people interpret causality of those phenomenons differently.
Often it seems that those who can easily imagine something happening- given the right preamble, guidance, and context- also misattribute the outcome to something external rather than recognizing how internal thoughts can influence their behavior. For example, when asked to imagine that their two hands were like magnets, people who scored higher on a phenomenological control scale tended to say it felt as if two magnets were literally attached to their fingers. They also reported that they didn't feel as though they were the one moving their hands, and attributed their hands moving to the idea suggested to them (that is, the imaginative game of magnets being attached to their hands caused them to move, not their own motor function). This isn't to say people literally believed they had magnets on their hands. In fact, they were fully aware that they had to have moved their hands, and that there were no external forces moving their hands. Despite the logical and obvious cause that the person's hands moved because they themself moved their hands, their sense of ownership was misattributed when participating in the imaginative exercise.
To relate this to hypnosis, people often know that they are the ones doing and/or causing their own experiences. Despite this, people may easily misattribute their experience to a suggestion or imagination exercise rather than seeing their experience as a product of human information processing. It's neat and easy to take advantage of in experienced subjects. It may also help in inducing and helping new subjects in going into trance by introducing them to the idea that imagining something to the point of believing it to be true can still affect their perceptual experience, even if it only occurs in a fictional or contextually specific experience.
once you learn about pseudoscience you're forever doomed to get angry when people talk about like. love languages or stockholm syndrome. but forced to stay quiet lest your lose your mind trying to correct millions of people
The more I read about NLP, the more annoyed I am that this get-rich-quick scheme attached itself to hypnosis like a corpulent tick and been sucking blood out of it for 40 years.
Hypnosis, Hypnotic Trance, and the Default Mode Network.
This is social media, so there will be limitations in what is being presented for brevity.
Do your own reading before coming to any serious conclusions. This post is meant to share things I thought interesting.
I've been doing some reading lately and it seems that hypnosis seems to be related to something called the Default Mode network (DMN), which is responsible for suppressing activity during cognitively demanding tasks.
Even when outside of hypnosis, those who are highly suggestible (highs) have greater connection between right Inferior frontal gyrus (responsible for attention) and the default mode network which suggests a greater ability to dissociate and a higher flexibility in attention. Low suggestibles (lows) typically have greater activity in the parietal lobe (sensory perception and management) and anterior cingulate cortex (responsible for cost-benefit calcuation and conscious decision making and motivation) compared to highs.
This suggests that even outside of a hypnotic state, there are neurological differences in how highs vs lows interpret and process information. It may be easier for those who are naturally suggestible to dissociate from their situation and turn inward to calculate information.
Circling back to the DMN, having a generally increased DMN activity means that the person is currently involved in internally-focused tasks (which may include things like recalling memories, visualizing future events, making social inferences, or other human cognitive tasks). This network consists of multiple specializations and areas including the medial prefrontal cortex (decision making), posterior cingulate cortex (episodic memory and future predictive memory), the precuneus (cue reactivity, gestalt of information, affective response to pain, and eposodic memory), and the lateral parietal cortex (attention, working memory, and spatial and social cognition).
The default mode network is still something that isn't well studied, but is confirmed to be related to things like ADHD, depression, and Alzheimer's. Things like meditation or hypnosis and alcohol consumption can also modulate the Default mode network by changing how related systems interact using external or internal modifiers (alcohol as a depressant, for example).
A lot of hypnotic responses aren't conscious. Things like feeling warm, tingly, heavy or light, or relaxed are all byproducts of trance but aren't indicative of trance by themself. However, the relationship between autonomic responses and trance is something that is observed by many tists and subjects alike. Someone who is hypnotized may not show the byproducts above, but if they are, they are- more likely than not- hypnotized. Many people suggest that these feelings (byproducts of trance) happen because even though trance, at least the first time, requires conscious effort.
What I mean is that the person must allow themselves to grow focused and invested in what they are reading or who they are listening to in order to find themself in a trance. Once there it can become a much quicker process. However, most inductions that involve focusing also involve relaxing in some way (see progressive muscle relaxation inductions for the largest example). Relaxation as a byproduct is still fairly common even outside of relaxation inductions. Many subjects will report feeling relaxed after being put into trance.
An argument could be made that the relaxation byproduct is part of the reason that the default mode is activated and may affect someone who is hypnotized to experience other similarly clumped responses- like those mentioned above. Much like how conscious breathing can physically relax and calm someone, going through a hypnotic induction may also be ritualistic, causing autonomic responses to occur, thus giving the typically expected (but not always present) stereotypical responses to being hypnotized.
Part of what makes hypnosis work, according to this thought process, is the active involvement of someone participating in a ritual (a hypnotic induction) without going against what is being asked. The participant does not have to be aware that they are involved in a hypnotic induction, they merely have to be a participant who is able to go along with the directions of what is being asked. As a metaphor, someone could engage in slowing their breathing by no longer involving themself in a stressful situation, naturally calming themself down.
They don’t have to consciously breathe to reset their autonomic nervous system because it automatically takes effect the moment they don't feel stressed anymore. Similarly, in a hypnotic induction, someone doesn’t have to explicitly know that they are engaging in a hypnotic induction. By simply following along with the words being said and being actively engaged in whatever media they are focusing on, they are able to enter at least a light trance since their focus becomes entirely trained on one thing. Once in a light trance, a hypnotist could utilize the naturally greater suggestibility to create a hypnotic trance with far more plasticity and robustness.
Regardless, the point is that by simply following along and becoming focused, a participant can engage their default mode network, dissociate from external stimuli, and focus on a single task, allowing for a trance to emerge. Much like consciously breathing slower to calm the nervous system, simply following along, focusing, and being engaged with something is enough to create a light trance (with greater than usual suggestibility) that can potentially be utilized by someone else.
Informing people you are working with beforehand, discussing limits and expectations before hypnosis occurs, is always the best practice and most ethical form of communication. Fluctual suggestibility could mean that someone is more likely to say yes when they normally wouldn’t. Hypnosis, and suggestibility, can potentially be used to manipulate others, just like any other tool. Use your tools wisely, and always choose what is best for you and those you care about.
