Well, I stumbled upon this site recently. Never experienced hypnosis before, but I`m curious about it. So I have tried some files by now, and not surprisingly still haven`t been able to trance. I`m quite analytical, so any mishaps and odd sounds on tapes makes me more aware on them than what the author is saying. Even skipping numbers in countdowns "activates" me. Also my mind tend to drift during listenings. One major problem as well is that I`m quite restless for some reason, so some files actually makes me unable to lie still. Oh, did i mention that I`m "quite" impatient? c",) From the files I have listened to I can remember listening to the entire file. However, once I experienced waking up in the middle of a file. But I was extremely tired that day, and played the file late at the evening. Well, maybe that`s the trick? I haven`t looped any files yet. Don`t know if that makes a different effect or not, but should probably try that as well. So I`m still trying to find a file to make me trance and truly make me relax. Fraxo
