Am I doing it right?

[secretmissondelta]

I'm new to the whole hypnosis thing, and I've listened to "Furry Transformation" once. I'm not sure if (and if so, how deep) I'm going into trance.

I lay down on the ground with my head resting on a small pillow and listen to the file play from my laptop, which rests right behind my head. I'm in a room with minor outside noises, and it is relatively dark inside said room.

When I go into trance, I still feel like I'm awake, but once I go deep enough, it becomes very hard to move my arms, hands, legs, or feet. Also, when I said the trigger phrase for the first time, I felt a very slight tingling sensation at the base of my spine (yes, I was thinking of an animal with a tail).

Am I doing it right, and if so, how did I do for a first-timer?

sounds like the basic first experience, i had several instances like this, for a fox i focused on the ears, and after the 2nd try i got a tugging sensation, but never got that back... i also go a fur sensation when i tried the example in the file (i was awake enough to try it.)

Okay, great! So, any suggestions? Anything in general is fine (what to think about while uttering the trigger phrase, etc.).

should you b intently focused on the voice? or kind of just zoned out? or kind of in-between? that's the question I want answered. :?:
