Erotic Hypnosis and Mental Play

A warm and enchanting welcome back


Like I already mentioned in one of my comments, it's important to stay safe with hypnosis. Because like everywhere there are people out there using it in a malicious and manipulating way which ruins possible wonderful experiences and in some severe cases even the whole life of a person.
This is why today I want to talk about how to stay safe with hypnosis, especially about what some signs of bad hypnotists/doms are. No matter if true bad intend or only missing knowledge.

So let's dive into the most important part of every kink, safety.
Keep in mind, that these signs I will be giving you, don't always mean the other person has bad intentions. Just like a hypnotist with bad intentions can potentially show none of those signs. This is aimed at people who are new in the community to get a good overlook at the most common signs, always keep an eye open yourself!

One very obvious and hard-to-miss sign is when the dominant/hypnotist is already trying to push limits in the early parts of the conversation. Maybe you said you won't do anal, or you're feeling really uncomfortable with using the name "Daddy" because of a trauma. But still, it's being tried to push those hard limits, saying it's not that bad, to just try it, etc. 
And while it's a whole other matter if you're already in a long-term relationship and you calmly talk and discuss together about possible new experiments, all of that has nothing to do in early conversations. If your hard limits aren't accepted, and someone tries to push them, it's a big red flag and you should probably stop going into any more conversations with this person, let alone a dom/sub relationship or hypnosis.

Something similar to it is when during hypnosis and in trance, you're given a suggestion which you are uncomfortable to do or accept so you say no. But the hypnotist still tries to work around it. Maybe you're given the suggestion to strip, but you're still not comfortable with it so you don't do it. Some will still try to push and work a way around like "It's so hot" or "it's natural" etc. Just like with the above, it's pushing limits and it's a huge red flag. In such a case you should as well try to talk about it and probably stop contact once you're awake again.
Other bad hypnotists won't push if something doesn't work, but they do something else instead, they become angry, stop talking, or blame the sub. While it's not a big red flag, if the hypnotist reacts in such ways without a proper reason, definitely discuss this with him. It doesn't necessarily mean you have to stop contact, but it can easily evolve into it.

There are also some signs with which you can easily detect a bad hypnotist early on in the normal conversation. One of them is that the hypnotist dodges questions about him/herself or directly doesn't want to talk about themselves in any way. Sure, there are people who don't feel too comfortable sharing huge amounts of personal information. But if all questions about the hypnotists are dodged, it's a sign that something is trying to be kept hidden. 
A commonly found sign is that the hypnotist is thirsty. Not in the sense of needing water. But that their only focus is on having a session as quickly as possible, no pretalk, no getting to know each other, always just wanting to hypnotize you. Such thirsty behavior is often found in inexperienced hypnotists and bad hypnotists and I advise you to try and stop the conversation with such a person as only in very very rare cases does it stop and turn into a good experience.

Let's say in the beginning everything worked just fine, it doesn't mean you're always good to go. Some hypnotists will try to socially cut you off. And while in some range it's important to put some time and effort into the sub/dom relationship, there is always the point where it's too much. Plus, if you are supposed to stop talking to other people, your friends, and even your family, then there's definitely something fishy. The big problem in such situations is, that you have build trust with this person over time, so it's hard to notice dangerous behaviors like this.
This is why it's good to remind you, not every person is bad, there are many many wonderful people out there truly being able to give you a wonderful experience. But there are also always the black sheeps and sometimes they hide where we least expect them. That's why it's good to have some friends and people to stay in contact with outside of the relationship who can help and in need give a wake-up call.

In established hypnosis communities, it's common that people have a trigger that helps them drop into trance or which allows other people to drop them into trance amongst other things. If a hypnotist is directly asking for those triggers and wanting to use them, then it's a sure sign nothing good is going to happen. 
And on the topic of triggers, not a big problem as many people do so, but something you should still keep an eye out for. Some hypnotists will give you triggers in your first session, but won't make sure that they are safe. This means, that triggers are only usable in safe places and by only the hypnotist. A common example is the word "SLEEP" which is often used to drop people. If such triggers are not made sure to be safe, then what stops you from driving your car and somebody on the radio saying the word "sleep" and dropping you mid-driving? Not to mention another bad hypnotist could use the trigger too. So it's important that the hypnotists makes sure your triggers are safe, and if it's not done properly, don't be afraid to let the hypnotist know about it so it can be changed.

After hypnosis, there is a very similar phenomenon happening like with normal BDSM play, the sub needing aftercare. Again it's a difficult topic as every person needs a different amount of it and some people are good at giving it some aren't. But especially with hypnosis aftercare is important. Because it can easily happen, that the sub is woken up to fast and experiences nausea or headaches. Often the sub has to truly wake up, which can take some time where the hypnotist should take care of the sub during this time. Those are just two examples, but there are many more examples where aftercare is needed. So if the hypnotist is refusing to give it, then it's a big no and you should probably end the conversation with this person. If the hypnotist doesn't on purpose neglect it, always let the hypnotist know that you need it. Talk about it how much and what kind of aftercare is needed. Aftercare is just as important as the pretalk and session.

There are many possible signs to stay aware of, but those are the most common and most dangerous. Make experiences, talk with people, learn about hypnosis, and quickly you will be able to detect signs of bad hypnotists yourself.
I hope that I was able to give a good overview and understanding of how to stay safe. Like everywhere, those are just examples, hypnosis is such a wonderful and amazing tool. And no amount of bad dumblings will be able to change the amount of possible pleasure, happiness, and help it can give us. So, let go, drop, and enjoy it to your heart's content. And stay safe.

Like always, you are encouraged to leave your opinions or experiences, maybe even signs I have missed out on in the comments. I will do my best to answer each and every one.

Until then, have a wonderful, happy, relaxed, and enchanting day.

A wonderful and enchanting welcome back

Last time I explained what hypnosis truly is and gave a brief look into the community with it. Today I want to explain what hypnosis can do, the possibilities and truth along with some examples to help give a better overall understanding.
If you haven't read my last post, I highly advise doing so before continuing to read this one, because I will reference several explanations. 

As you already know by now, hypnosis is nothing more than a state of focus and that at all times you are completely aware and awake during it. Still even knowing those things, people on stage hypnosis still seem like they are mindlessly obeying orders. Seems contradictory. But there's actually a simple reason. I mentioned that stage hypnotists are very good at reading people, choosing those who will bring the most entertaining show. I won't go deeper into how such people are chosen, but what makes those people to be chosen is, that most often they are somnambulists.

Somnambulist is nothing more than a fancy word for a person who has high suggestibility. And understandably, on stage as the hypnotist, you want your suggestions you give during trance to work, and that's most likely to happen with somnambulists. 
Though saying someone is a somnambulist is a difficult task. See, everyone accepts suggestions differently, some accept them easier and some harder. But ALL people do. There are enough people in the hypnosis community starting to dive into it only to notice they don't accept suggestions as well as other people, and they think they are doing something wrong and that they are bad subjects. That's far from it. There is no distinct separation between people who are somnambulists and those who aren't. 
I noticed that most somnambulists share the same thought structure and behavior which allows them to accept suggestions this well. But everyone can learn to accept suggestions. And that's what I want people to understand. First, what you see on stage are special cases, people who accept suggestions exceptionally well and that is not the normality for each hypnotic interaction. Second, everyone starts somewhere and can improve on becoming a better subject, no matter what anyone says. In fact, it's very likely that the person you see suggestions working so well in the hypnosis community has worked months or years to get to this point, and that's perfectly fine. It's not the sub's fault if something doesn't instantly work, together with your hypnotist work out a solution, find worries which stop you from letting go and work together to achieve your goals.

I will give a very short explanation of how to potentially improve your suggestibility. Keep in mind, that every person is different and that it's such a deep topic that I will only scratch the surface for now.
One problem is allowing yourself to let go, and not because of your partner, but because you feel uncomfortable with the feeling. In such a case, try meditating yourself, instead of focusing to accept big suggestions and dive deep into trance depths, try to feel more comfortable with the feeling of trance itself. Relaxation and comfort hypnosis is what will help.
Another problem is fearing the effects, that something might happen which you don't want. In this case, it's important to find someone with who you can build your trust. Find someone with whom you can slowly get comfortable, and the more comfortable you get, the more trust you have, the more easily you will be able to let go and actually accept suggestions. Another technique that works but which I don't advise you to try unless you TRULY trust your partner. Let your partner drop you into a trance and go into a direction suggestion-wise in which you are uncomfortable. This requires the hypnotist to know what they are doing, to be trustful, and to actually help make you notice that you are unable to be forced to do something you don't want to do. In my opinion, get comfortable, find a partner with whom you build trust (which is always a good plan) and allow yourself to become comfortable with hypnotic suggestions over time.
A big problem are therapeutic reasons, trauma, flashbacks, etc. And in such cases, please, stop trying hypnosis and seek professional help. Hypnosis can trigger flashbacks and increase the trauma if not done properly. It's no shame in admitting you need help, so please, don't push yourself and risk anything getting worse. Once your problems are cleared, you will have a much easier time. But all of us want to have a good time, so lets all work together to achieve that
If you want any more help on how to better accept suggestions, let me know in the comments.

Besides the topic of suggestibility, how good you accept suggestions, it's also important to know what suggestions you won't accept. Every person has core beliefs, their very own and personal beliefs which they formed over years while growing up. And those beliefs are your guidelines so to speak. No one is able to make you do anything inside those core beliefs. 
Now it's important to know what those core beliefs are. Because right here right now reading my words, you surely would agree that you wouldn't want to play a cat on stage or cluck like a chicken, yet people do so, are they freaks who actually want that? No, they aren't. It's simply that clucking like a chicken is not inside their core beliefs.
Let's give an example, for almost all people one core belief is, that they don't want to hurt themselves. So you won't be able to make a subject with this belief hurt themselves on purpose. Though clucking like a chicken isn't in those core beliefs. So when you get such a suggestion on stage your mind thinks "Hmm, why not? Nothing I am going to do goes against my beliefs, so why not?". And they start clucking like a chicken. In this example you can also understand another property of hypnosis/trance, you are only aware of what is going on with you. You aren't aware anymore that a crowd of people is around you, everything is blurred out. That's why there is no shame. But let's not dive deeper into it.
To give a last example, imagine a person being hypnotized and told the suggestion to go dig a tunnel and rob that bank. If the person being given this suggestion thinks it's highly unethical, then they won't accept this suggestion, they won't do it. But if they always wanted to do so and maybe even planned it a little, then sure, they will go ahead and follow along. It's an extreme example, but one that will hopefully make you understand what is meant with core beliefs.

In the end, what is important for you to know, hypnosis is unable to make you do anything you don't want to. No one can force you into anything you don't want to. 

After explaining suggestibility and also the contra, your core beliefs, I now want to dive into some examples. Because many people understand it wrong. Be aware, that those examples are not mandatory and neither are they beginning scenarios, they are advanced kinky scenarios to show a slice of what is possible.
As an example, many people think that when I say hypnosis can turn you into a real pet for pet play, that they are actually physically growing paws and fur, etc. Even though they are half right, they are wrong. Yes, hypnosis can change bodily physic, and yes for the subject it might be like growing paws and fur, but all those changes are only imaginary, mentally. Hypnosis will trick your mind into thinking and experiencing it so to speak. Everything your senses pick up is processed by your mind. If you smell a sweet smell, your brain processes it and you experience it. And this processing is changed during hypnosis. So instead of tasting something sour when biting into a lemon, you are able to taste something sweet, because your brain is now making you experience it differently. And that's the same for the pet play example. You might see and feel like having paws and fur or only being able to woof instead of talking, but that's only how your mind processes it and makes you experience it. It's important to know this.

Now let's dive into some deliciously kinky examples, shall we?

You can make someone cum on command, and there's nothing more delicious leaning close and whispering her trigger into her ear while watching her squirm in mindless pleasure as she happily cums from one single word. 

In combination with cumming on command, you can also make someone unable to cum. This is especially useful when doing edging or in general orgasm denial.

Sensitivity can be increased or decreased. Especially people who are into sensory deprivation will enjoy toying with such suggestions: But I find generally increasing sensitivity in usually non-erotic zones of the body is fun.

Make your sub unable to stop saying every kinky thought they have. It's a wonderful mind to tease and mess with the sub as well as getting an honest sneak peek into her mind.

Like I already mentioned, being turned into a pet, being made to act and behave like one. Many people also enjoy becoming a hucow and having breasts in the focus of the fun and pleasure.

Giving new kinks, and I am not talking about going over limits. But how about giving a tree fetish? Okay, that maybe instead of trees a fetish which the dom has and the sub is okay with but simply never had any arousal coming from it. With the flick of a finger, it can be turned into a raging turn-on.

An intense feeling of control, submission, and surrender can be achieved with hypnosis, far more intense than in regular BDSM

One commonly found kink is bimbofication and dollification.

There are so many more kinks, scenarios, ideas, experiences, etc. which could be talked about. But that's a tiny slice of the possibilities of those who are easy to understand without much explanation while at the same time being an informative one.
Keep in mind, each their own. And also, like I already mentioned all those examples are advanced scenarios. If you are a beginner, slowly dive and be guided into hypnosis. Doing so will allow you to enjoy advanced scenarios much more. 
Plus, who doesn't love relaxation hypnosis, simply having fun without sexuality, or cuddling, feeling happy and good? I may have focused on the sexual examples of hypnosis, but that's because this whole blog is about erotic hypnosis and mental play. Never forget that there is so much more in a relationship. And its so wonderful once truly embraced

I hope like always you were able to follow my explanations and got a good understanding of what hypnosis truly is, and what is possible with it.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments. Everyone is welcome to share their own experiences with erotic hypnosis or maybe share their favorite suggestions? And you don't need to have experienced hypnosis yourself, simply let us know what sounds most interesting to you.

With that, I wish you a wonderful, happy, relaxing, and enchanting day.

A Warm Welcome

Hypnosis is a widespread topic, but not because of what it really is. Everybody knows about the film and stories in which hypnosis is used as an evil magical or supernatural force that instantly takes over the mind of the victim. Oh, and of course a pocket watch and spiral are mandatory.

By my sarcasm, you might have already guessed that what those films and stories portray is far from the truth. But because it has been used in such excessive amounts over the years as an evil weapon or twist in a story, that it has almost become common "knowledge" that hypnosis is exactly those cliches that such films and stories depict. Which in my opinion is very sad and makes it even harder, to tell the truth. Because hypnosis is such a wonderful and amazing tool, but each day more people fall victim to the false knowledge and cliches presented to us.

This is exactly why I want to show and explain the truth to open people's minds to the reality.

This post is about what hypnosis, the state of trance, truly is. A second will follow explaining the truth about what is possible with hypnosis.

So, what is Hypnosis? A magical and supernatural way of putting someone is a state of mind where the subject is completely and mindlessly obedient, right? 

Surprise, that's very far from it. Hypnosis, the state of trance in which you are guided is actually one of the most common states of mind there is, if not THE most common. Each day, you enter it hundreds of times without even noticing, in fact, you're in it right now. Indeed, you are currently in a trance. Though no worries, you're not being hypnotized in any way right now. Because the state of Trance is nothing more than a state of focus most often combined with relaxation. 

When you closely listen to someone, when you drive your car, or commonly, when you read a book. Those are all examples in which you fall into a state of focus, a trance. Such trances are usually very light and go by without ever being noticed in any shape or form. But think back and remember, maybe you were reading an intriguing story or an interesting article and you were so absorbed in it, that when you looked up again, you become aware, that you didn't notice anything going on around you, only what was happening in your story or article. 

This feeling, this experience, is a trance. And hypnosis helps to guides you into this state of mind.

Now you might question, maybe films and stories overdo it a little bit sure, but what about stage hypnotists where it doesn't seem only like a state of focus, but a sleep-like mindless obedience?

First, let me say that most stage hypnotists are good people, professionals and that they have my respect for their abilities and knowledge. But they help societies cliches grow, no matter if intentional or not, which makes me have a certain dislike for what they are doing.

To make it clear from the beginning, hypnosis and the state of trance, is no sleep. Why do subjects close their eyes during hypnosis then? Imagine it this way, if you want to closely listen to music, then instead of looking around the city, you will close your eyes and blend out as much as possible so you can focus only on the music. And that's exactly the same for hypnosis, you want to focus on the voice guiding you into a trance as closely as possible, which is why most often you will see hypnotists guide their subjects to do so. 

While in trance another aspect is important to know along not being asleep. Returning back to the example with listening to music. When you close your eyes and listen to the music, you will of course be aware of what you are listening to, maybe even every note. Because of course, you're focusing on the music, so of course, you will hear it and be aware of it. And trance is no exception. During trance, the state of focus, you are at all times aware of what is said to you, what is going on and what you are doing. 

Both things, not being asleep and being at all time aware of what is going on, is the same for stage hypnosis. Though be honest, seeing such a show would not be very entertaining, which is exactly why stage hypnotists use the common spread cliches and make them look extravagant. Often it's also forgotten, that those stage hypnotists are excellent at reading people, with only some very little tricks they know which people make great subjects and therefore a good show. Sadly all of that depicts a very wrong and unsafe image of hypnosis.

Hypnosis, once understood what it truly is, can be used for so many wonderful, beautiful and exciting things. Because you know you are safe, you know you will have a pleasant experience, you know it's real. Just imagine you could get an insane amount of motivation for a workout only by listening to one file. Or how about being turned into a pet, and I don't mean roleplay, truly experiencing becoming a pet. Or cumming on command? As long as you can imagine it, you can experience it in a safe and wonderful environment. Which in my opinion is the most amazing addition to a BDSM relationship and even outside.

All of this might come overwhelming and be confusing, that's perfectly normal. Which is why I welcome you to ask your questions in the comments, there are no stupid or wrong questions. I am happy about each and every person which I can help.

I hope you enjoyed part one, and I will soon talk about the possibilities with hypnosis in part two. 

I wish you a wonderful and enchanting day
