need some help

[meganox123]

Hey I've been trying out a few hypnosis files made by EMG and I'm not really being affected by them. I think that I am going into a slight trance but that is is. Is there anything that can help out with this?

Also I would like to know if the files only work on a mp3?

Hi meganox123,
There are others here more experienced and knowledgeable than I but I will give my advice anyway.
I would suggest working, at first, with just a simple induction/awakener file and just practice. Don't try anything complicated at first, no triggers or training, just relax and practice going into and out of trance. It can take a while so try to be patient.
There are many different types of inductions, not all work for all people, so try different inductions and , for that matter, different hypnotists, until you find some that you feel comfortable with.
Going into trance is a skill that can be learned, so be patient and practice.

good luck

I've been in the same boat for quite some time now, so I'll throw my two cents in and share a couple tips I've discovered for myself so far.

If you can sort of wind yourself down before trying any hypnosis it could help a lot. I've had a ton of trouble myself when it comes to deepening trances and the only way I can get minor progress is by laying back and winding myself down a bit beforehand. The very small successes I've had so far (phasing in and out of awareness on a couple of occasions) probably wouldn't have happened without it. It's difficult to explain exactly what I do since it often changes, but usually I can slip into a shallow trance before I even play a file. I guess it gives me a head start of a sort. :)

I don't remember when I last posted here, but it's been a few weeks. In that time frame I've gotten a general idea regarding what works best, and found out it takes me a *very* long time to achieve a halfway decent trance. It's certainly not a process for the impatient if you're not lucky enough to have a high level of susceptibility to trance.

You may also want to look into deepeners. I always find myself totally alert by the end of an induction phase, with my analytic mind picking everything apart. Could you describe a bit what you mean by a slight trance?

Well I have a hard time keeping my eyes open for so long then I can open them again even though everything is still happening and my body does go a little numb. Both the tingling and the painful types of numb.

I'm now losing most feeling in my fingers.
