Trance Idea #15: "I Think-"

Seems you enjoyed yesterday's number! I'm so glad you did - this is so much fun! Today's is a little more nuanced, so let's take a look.

This trigger does one of my favorite things: takes something you casually say almost every day and makes it hypnotic. With such triggers it's very important to establish limits and safeties, to know when it may be active and when it might not be. Regardless, it can be deeply fun.

The trigger is this: whenever you say the words "I think" in passing, like you typically would when expressing an opinion, your thoughts begin to dissolve and fade, a pleasant fog moving in to take their place. The more you try to recover those thoughts, the more that fog grows and confuses.

Of course, when you're first given this trigger, you'll likely be able to avoid it as you are now conscious of what happens if you say it unawares. That's what I did, because I get cocky and think I'm smarter than that. And sure, the first time around it's easy enough to avoid using that phrase, or at least to catch yourself before you use it.

But then a day passes. Maybe two. And offhandedly you say it in normal conversation. Suddenly there's this pause in your mind. This brief blip of blankness that catches you for a moment before slipping away with a chuckle. A reminder.

This is so much fun because of how you can be caught by it. We say "I think" all the time in everyday conversation that it's nigh impossible to go through the day without saying it. Traps laid everywhere, in plain sight, your thoughts ripe for the taking.

Even better worse if you're in a session after some time has passed and those words flow from your lips, and before you have time to realize your mistake...what mistake? What were you just talking about? I thought-...wait...

And your tist looks at you, smiling, and says "No. You don't. Not anymore."

And you can't help but smile right back. Because of course you don't.

This is perfect for enjoyers of covert and conversational hypnosis, and I'm excited to see what you think 😉

Have fun with this, and I'll see you tomorrow~ 🌀

Trance Idea #18: "Reset"

And the countdown persists. Hopefully you all are enjoying this so far, I certainly am!

Amnesia triggers. Love them or hate them, they are an integral part of the hypnosis zeitgeist. They come in many forms, and this one is a particular favorite.

As with a decent amount of triggers, "Reset" does exactly what is says on the tin: you forget the session up until this point, waking yourself up to think that you've only just started. But of course, your mind and body is already feeling the effects of previous drops or triggers that have wrapped themselves around you, so you're already starting off on the wrong (or right) foot. It therefore can be very easy for those familiar words to weave their way through your mind, the paths already having been cleared and your thoughts (whatever meager ones have found their way back) swept away again.

My favorite thing about this trigger, however, is when it's used multiple times in one session. Occasionally, it's even used in quick succession. And that's when this amnesia trigger becomes a confusion trigger as well, which is one of my absolute favorite combinations. Because then, the mind plays tricks on itself. You wake up, say hello to them, and you're unable to shake the feeling that you've done this before, almost down to the tone of voice. Why were you leaning back just then? Don't worry about that. Must've just zoned out, that must be it. And ignore the gentle fog that creeps and rests around your mind, after all, that always happens when you talk with your tist.

Besides, you're just getting started.

Have fun with this one, and see you tomorrow~
