🌀The Body Learns Before the Mind
Before you start: The cadence of this writing is intentionally lulling and immersive. Some readers describe it as trance-like. If you tend to drift, take a moment to anchor yourself first.

Watch a musician play — hands moving over strings or keys without thought, or at least, that’s what you think. The body moves by itself. It remembers.
That’s how conditioning works — like Pavlov’s dogs, salivating before the food arrives. A hypnotic subject learns too. The body begins to expect trance, and more importantly — it remembers.
The rush of dopamine, the sweet euphoria of losing control, the thrill of being taken over — when another voice becomes the mind’s gravity.
So the body learns. We have memory. Echoes of what was once experienced. Until one day, a simple word — drop — and you fall even before it’s spoken in that tone.
The body relaxes first. Then the mind follows. A beautiful dissociation. The trance of flesh, the trance of thought. Heartbeat slowing, breath deepening, and in the silence between two words —
drop. deeper. drop now. and the body keeps dreaming long after the voice fades
