Hypnosis and Training
I will discus training and the use of hypnosis, I am going to start talking about the use of this in training and how to tell if the slave is receptive to such things. For the moment I wanted to get this started. while it is common knowledge that a large percentage if the population is receptive to hypnotic suggestions not all are, about 10% are extremely suggestible. While it is true that a person can't be hypnotized if the don't want to be, with a slave/sub its actually not as hard and lucky for Masters/Doms most sub/slaves are receptive.
The best subjects are the ones who naturally want to follow orders and are easily distracted, day dreamers, fantasizes, people that space off and forget what they are doing are far more open to this type of training. You can capture there attention and draw them into a trance easily.
The next question is the moral ground just how far do you go with such a powerful tool, well I feel that you should consult you slave. Talk to them ahead of time and ask just how far they are willing to let you go, of course most slaves will let you take it as far as you want, remember that the mind is a fragile thing and it is not hard to cause irreparable harm.
In a trance state the slave/sub will be more likely to tell you what they truly feel and want.
After you reach this point you can decide how far you should go, the more willing the slave/sub the easier to program them. I am not going to go into how to induce a trance state or the finer points of the craft of hypnosis, what I am going to do is talk about some of the do's and don'ts of programming, as with any training consistency is essential. The less conflict you create with your post hypnotic suggestions the better they will take, another good rule is not to suggest something that will cause distress, don't make the slave/sub like watching horror if its something she is horrified by, this will create stresses on a subconscious level and cause deep mental issues, I don't recommend any one who has not studied some psychology and mental health to attempt this. The mind is a complex thing and should be handled delicately, you're not just giving them a new set of thoughts you could be damaging the ways in which they deal with life, so it's best to understand the slave/sub well before attempting to alter a persons mind.
Because this is a complex subject and I don't condone the use of such techniques by the untrained, I will only focus on ways to program not hypnotize.
One of the best methods I have learned is to use physical training in conjunction with the posthypnotic suggestions you create, this will reinforce the training and the programming. Action helps stimulate the neurotransmitters to create memories that reinforce the suggestions. I also recommend that you use only a few at a time to avoid to many conflicts, you can always add more at a later date when the previous programming has taken hold.
another method is to use parallel thoughts and beliefs. this is a particularly effective way to program someone because it aligns the new program with existing similar thoughts and beliefs, it makes the mind more able to processes and integrate into a new pathway. An alternate method is to use logic associations. Example of this would be, you say yellow is such a warm color, they agree, you say fire is yellow, they agree, than you say fire is hot and they agree, so if fire is yellow and fire is hot than yellow must be hot. Than you keep this going tell they agree, this creates the association of yellow being hot.
It is important to understand that what you are doing is creating new pathways for the neurotransmitters in the brain to start writing the programming, and making it real. The more methods of reinforcement you use to solidify these new thoughts the more the slave/sub accepts them as reality.
Understand that these methods are not a wand that will magically fix a sub/slave of all there behavioral issues, however it will definitely change a lot of behavior and the way they experience there submission, depending on how well you create a program and your intention for training them.
I have crafted a training method suited to my particular taste, and I believe that once trained with this method I will have a slave who is multi talented, with all the enthusiastic energy and confidence of a happy slave, ready to face anything for her master.
If you wanted to deal with there deep behavioral issues you would have to identify and resolve each of them. I recommend that you endeavor to do this as it will help in there training and make them more open to new behaviors and habits.
I will discus the topic of behavioral issues and how to resolve them in another post.
