Hi!  Thanks for checking out my journal.  In my last entry, I demonstrated a method of hypnosis that uses NO induction.  This time, I'm telling how I got started with hypnosis.  But first…

With that said, here's how I got started with hypnosis…  my origin story:

I was bodybuilding with intention of competing and finding a hypnosis article in an issue of FLEX magazine surprised me.  The article reported about pro bodybuilders using hypnosis to gain a mental edge.  It made me curious and I'm damned glad I trusted that feeling of curiosity.

Shortly after reading that article, I stopped into a bookstore.  While there, I noticed a display rack of hypnosis audio cassettes on a variety of topics - including bodybuilding.  Of course I bought one!  It was a waste of money.  I had hoped for trance to give me a mental edge while lifting…  while at the gym.  What I got instead was motivational bullshit for guys who needed help getting their buttcrack off the couch.  That disappointment motivated me to become the change I was looking for.

I borrowed hypnosis books from the library; bought books online;  attended hypno conferences;  and listened to free online mp3s.  I learned to use a recording app.  Trial-and-error allowed me to learn hypnotic technique(s) that worked for me to create changes I wanted.

Eventually, I shared the bodybuilding recordings I had recorded.  Responses were positive.  Guys started asking me to hypnotize them for bodybuilding with a kink edge.   Competitive bodybuilders begain inviting me to work with them (no kink, but I got paid).   

Like I said before, I'm damned glad I trusted that feeling of curiosity about hypnosis. 

There you go!  That's how I got my start with hypnosis and became a hypnotist.  

I still have the same self-imposed demand for hypnotic change that's real.  And you can still find my collection of bodybuilding-related hypnosis recordings here:

Bodybuilder - Distractions Conquered

Bodybuilder - MusclePig  (FREE)

Bodybuilder - One More Rep

Bodybuilder - The Hypnosis Edge  (FREE)

Next week, I won't be posting a journal entry. . .Takin' a road trip!

Coming up Jun 7-12, I'm heading to Galena, IL, Dubuque, IA, and points in-between.  If you're somewhere nearby to that zone and you're interested in connecting face-to-face, be sure to hi.  I'll be back Jun 13.

There's one last thing to do before bringing this journal entry to a close...  there's someone I need to thank. 

Recently, a member posted a comment on my last journal entry.  Thanks for doing that, belyaev!   You should definitely check out the fun forum postings from belyaev (DIY electric brain stimulation anyone?).  There are also Journal postings and hypnosis recordings/videos from belyaev for you to review.

That's it!  Be sure to leave a comment to ask questions or to let me know you like this journal.
