The Spiral Index

An annotated ledger of experiments, ideas, and queries.

[thespiralindex]

Hello there.

Welcome to The Spiral Index - a place for ideas to grow, triggers to be cataloged, and collaboration to abound. If you're not already, please use the link below to get the full viewing experience.

When I was designing this blog, I did it for a simple purpose: to collect and categorize the different ideas, triggers, and trances I collected. I wanted to find a way to sort them into an easily findable format, while keeping them aesthetically pleasing. And so, this blog was born.

Some entries in the index may be personal experience. Some may be purely theoretical. Some may even be proposed experiments. Everything is designed for readers to navigate not just the idea, but the effects and consequences of it.

To keep the archive coherent, submissions are sorted into a few core categories:

Location

Physical - entries that have a physical sensation tied to them [temperature, spatial awareness, etc]

Mental - entries that have a mental sensation tied to them [passing of time, edits to a mind palace, etc]

Trigger Type

Trance - entries that are designed to induce a trance state

Outcome - entries that are designed to have a causal effect

Timespan

Gradual Effect - entries that have a more prolonged shift to them, whether that be overall timespan or length of time for full effect

Immediate Effect - entries that happen immediately or have a minimal length of time required

The index grows itself through user contributions, and each entry adds another journal page. Submissions are open for any personal experiences [although they may be reformatted], and asks are open for any experimental questions or hypotheses.

I hope you all enjoy this blog, and the consequences of it.

Welcome to The Spiral Index.

Trigger: Body Shutdown

Location: Mental | Trigger Type: Outcome | Timespan: Immediate

Description: Speaking varying parts into existence (vertebral column, occipital lobe, endocrine gland, etc) and speaking an effect; usually an on/off or an enhanced/decreased effect

Used For: sensation control, sensory deprivation, overstimulation, emotional control

As a scientist, this is a particular favorite of mine. Being able to utilize different body parts and activate/deactivate them with a single word is particularly useful, especially when it comes to more methodical experimentation.

This can be utilized one of two ways. One way to use this effect would be a simple on/off, like the flip of a switch. Letting the sensory regions fade off while the mental stays on allows for a delightful amount of confusion and chaos with given subject. The other alternative is a sliding scale, like a dimmer lightswitch. Utilizing it in this fashion would create a more gradual sense of change, which may be beneficial in long-term repeatability.

Examples of the above could be testing out different triggers in different environments to see which has the most effect, shutting off certain body parts under trance, etc. I've seen this used for memory manipulation, sensory deprivation chambers, emotional regulation, and many more things.

As a mental trigger, this is a particularly useful one for subjects lacking senses of phantom touch, or subjects that have aphantasia. Being able to manipulate specific body parts allows the hypnotist to bypass the mental requirements needed with a more "physical" touch, and instead accesses the cerebrum directly.

Trigger: Countdown

Location: Physical | Trigger Type: Outcome | Timespan: Immediate

Description: A simple countdown, starting from ten and reducing down to zero at varying speeds or repeatability.

Used For: trance, PMR, orgasm control, overstimulation

For the first official entry, I thought we should do something a little bit more... concrete.

The countdown. A simple one, to be sure, but modular in the use.

Standard practice for an up-and-coming hypnotist is to use this for a trance, adapting it for the subject to fall more with every number or (in the case of a PMR) counting down each specific body part.

Personally, my favored use for this is for orgasm control. Allowing the neural pathway to form between the idea of the numbers, the scale decreasing, etc - and then tying it to the idea of resistance breaking. The idea of the gradual wear-and-tear of the wall separating the desired effect from the subject's mental position.

Experience has confirmed this for me. Use of gradual denial leading to begging, then suggestion of the countdown, then implementation at ten, then rapid descent and overstimulation of speed/size/intensity, then zero to mental blank. At this point, the neural junction has already formed between the "zero" and the desired outcome with such an intensity that repeating said "zero" causes repetition of the previous effect without prior buildup. Effective use of this at this stage can result in trigger formation or more intense effects as time progresses.
