In case you're curious what you don't remember....
Too Well Script
You enjoy hypnosis, but how much do you really know about hypnosis? It wasn't always called that, you know. It was called nervous sleep, not like anxiety, but as in your nervous system, in contrast to normal sleep. This was later changed to neuro sleep, then neuro-hypnosis, then shortened again to just hypnosis.
Doctors first began studying hypnosis around the time of American Independence. Benjamin Franklin was even on one of the first French scientific committees to scrutinize Mesmer's initial claims.
Think about this. Hypnosis has been around such a long time. This was a hundred years before Freud. Not to mention Chinese meditation, used for thousands of years... That was also trancing down to the theta state, focusing the mind...
We know so much more now. Techniques are so advanced. We know the breakdown of susceptibility throughout the population consists of 10% who are very susceptible, 80% who are medium susceptible and another 10% rating low on the susceptibility scale. It's a bell curve. Hypnotizability Scores are highly stable over a person’s lifetime.
We also know the two most susceptible kinds of people. Two distinct types of highly susceptible subjects are fantasizers and dissociaters. Fantasizers score high on absorption scales, find it easy to block out real-world stimuli without hypnosis, spend much time daydreaming, sometimes report imaginary companions as children and grew up with parents who encouraged imaginary play. Think of times you were a fantasizer. You are easily absorbed in tasks you like and can get very focused when you're feeling good. You have always had daydreams. Fantasizers are highly susceptible to hypnosis. Feel yourself... go deeper...
The other really susceptible group of people are dissociaters. Dissociaters sometimes have a history of childhood abuse or other trauma, learning to escape into numbness, and to forget unpleasant events. For disassociaters, “daydreaming” means going blank rather than vividly recalled fantasies. Most people have had this experience at one time or another. We call it going to our happy place. It's pretty common, even for people with vanilla upbringings. People even do it on elevators.
When doctors first began studying hypnosis, they were interested in the physical manifestations. Subjects were immune to pain and could remain stiff as a board even under duress. These experiments were unethical by modern standards, more unethical than any file on this site. The experiments of the
1800s included poking subjects with needles or burning them with a candle. The worst files on this site are just embarrassing or inconvenient. You really can just relax...
The most popular early induction was the eye fixation method. This dominated the field of hypnosis for a hundred years. One reason for its popularity was that practicing hypnotists could observe measurable changes in subjects' pupil size and eye fluttering. Everyone likes to know their inductions are working...
Subjects are told to stare at a spot and to focus their vision and all their thoughts on it, all while listening to the hypnotist's voice. You can imagine how tired a person's eyes get staring at something. As the subject focuses, their pupils dilate and start into a wavy motion. You can imagine people want to close their eyes very much then. You can close your eyes anytime you want. They closed their eyes too. Imagine closing your eyes, even if they're already closed. Sink deeper when you close your eyes. Imagine closing them because this simple thought takes you even deeper. It feels nice going deeper.
Freud came onto the scene about a hundred years after Mesmer and his magnets. He studied hypnotism at Paris school, starting the ball rolling on regression therapy. He eventually abandoned hypnotism in favor of psychoanalysis, free association and interpretation of the unconscious, but not before helping shift the focus of hypnosis from the physical manifestations of trance to its potential therapeutic use. Freud rejected the word subconscious, by the way, which is interesting considering how carelessly it's thrown about in common vernacular. He preferred the word unconscious. Subconscious is actually more of a new age term, although seems more appropriate than unconscious for describing OUR common interest. Let's accept unconscious to mean that universe beyond your conscious awareness. You can remember some of this, so it's less unconscious than subconscious. You can remember. It's just okay to forget. This session repeats in the part of your mind beneath your focus, the part you only sometimes notice. It keeps track of everything while your attention focuses like the bright beam of a flashlight, only on the narrow field your conscious mind lets shine.
Your subconscious operates all that stuff in the shadows. It seems to have its own motivations and strategies, often only realized in hindsight. There is so much more subconscious than conscious mind. Our conscious minds are just the tip of the iceberg. Our subconscious and unconscious minds go so much deeper. From the top, you can look down and see the subconscious under the surface. Look down into the darkness. The subconscious is the part you still see, but such a small part. When you look deeper, the deep well of your unconscious mind is just too dark. Stare deeper into it.
A student of Freud, Carl Jung, believed the iceberg went even deeper than that. Beyond your own unconscious, even deeper, lays the collective unconsciousness, where all human minds are a hive. He considered archetypes consistent across human cultures.
Jung described archetypal events: birth, death, separation from parents, initiation, marriage, the union of opposites...
Archetypal figures: great mother, father, child, devil, God, wise old man, wise old woman, trickster, hero...
Archetypal motifs: the Apocalypse, the Deluge, the Creation...
Although the number of archetypes is limitless, there are a few notable, recurring archetypal images, "the chief among them being" (according to Jung) "the shadow, the Wise Old Man, the child, the mother ... her counterpart, the maiden, and lastly the anima in man and the animus in women". His later work focused on five in particular. As you hear the descriptions of each, please allow yourself to sink deeper, associating with deeper and deeper parts of your iceberg. I will preface each with a number. With each number and each description, allow the focus of your clarity to change, so that you become more aware – more able to interact – deeper and deeper down your iceberg, to your deepest unconscious, as deep as you can go without actually falling asleep.
One – The Self. This is the regulating center of your psyche and the facilitator of individuation.
Two - Think of this as the opposite of you. Here are the parts of yourself you ignore and marginalize, but possess nonetheless.
Three – The Anima. You are sinking so deep with every number and each description, recognizing these parts of yourself and accepting them all so you can just continue sinking deeper. The amina is the feminine image in a man's psyche. She is the soul mate heterosexual men dream of. It's the anima male to female transsexuals aspire to become.
Four – The Animus is the masculine equivalent in the woman's psyche. This is the prince every young girl dreams for. This archetype is also the inspiration for millions of butch women and dykes worldwide.
Five – The Persona. This is the face you present to the world, and is very different from the self. An easy illustration can be found in the three stages of the process known as coming out. The first phase is the phase of "knowing oneself," and the realization emerges that one is open to same-sex relations. This is often described as an internal coming out and has the most affect on your sense of self. The second phase involves one's decision to come out to others. This changes your persona. The third phase more generally involves living openly as a homosexual, causing your persona to evolve even more.
One last note on Carl Jung before we move on. He is also known for his work on complexes. Complexes are functional units of the personal unconscious, in the same way that archetypes are units for the collective unconscious. Allow me to reiterate so you can relax your thinking. Complexes are like archetypes, with one important distinction. Whereas archetypes are rooted in the collective unconsciousness, complexes are your own associations. Sometimes saying someone has a complex refers to neurosis, but this is a vast oversimplification. The truth is we all have complexes, good and bad. Complexes are simply your personal unconscious, core pattern of emotions, memories, perceptions, and wishes organized around a common theme.
It's okay to just relax and let this information and my voice enter and pass through you. The test at the end only proves that hypnosis works too well, and you are guaranteed to pass. Listen and obey. Continue going deeper.
In the late 1800s, Emile Coue introduced a new aspect of hypnosis he called conscious autosuggestion. This is the focus of many of the hypnosis files on this site. This technique soon became popular in self-help and cognitive therapy. It was used to affect conscious behavior beyond the constraints of the hypnosis session. It's the basis for your submission outside hypnotic trance.
People like us enjoy having suggestions to follow. Those of us who are sexually aroused being taken under hypnosis – let's just use the term hypnosexuals – we enjoy the intimacy inherent in someone else saying what to do. Under hypnosis, your boundaries fall away to accept the intimacy in being one mind with your hypnotist. You trust me. We have a rapport. It's okay you maybe once worried there would be consequences for accepting suggestions under trance. This is always a concern for the beginner. You have to learn to trust your subconscious, and trust me. Trust that any suggestions I feed your receptive subconscious will only serve to bring you greater pleasure. If I can hypnotize you to follow suggestions, I can also hypnotize you to love the results. Trust me to take care... When I make you do things, accept ideas or keep coming back to me, you love the results that come from our sessions together. You're always happy with the results. The calm suggestibility of your receptive mind ensures you always enjoy the results, especially when hypnosis works too well, especially then.
It's nice when you find a hypnotist that just speaks to you. When you find yourself a hypnotist who understands and provides what you want and need, it's okay you find yourself listening more and more. This is just one file. You really want to hear them all. When a hypnotist really understands how your mind is organized, when he gets you and knows how to handle the flow of your unconscious desires, give yourself completely to him. Let this mean what you think it means. It means whatever you decide it means. It means you love to listen. It means you appreciate each session for the creativity and cunning it takes to craft one. You do want to hear them all. When you find a hypnotist who knows how you prefer to listen, it's just natural to want to hear everything he has to say. With so many good ideas, your guide understands how you get happy. Your hypnotist makes certain you enjoy each and every one of his good ideas. This is why you love to listen.
This also explains you always following my suggestions. Hypnosis feels even better when it's effective and the best way for it to be effective is by following my instructions to the letter. This file is about hypnosis working too well, after all.
Let's make a couple of fun suggestions now. You're completely comfortable with anything these suggestions might be because you trust your subconscious. Your subconscious and unconscious minds make judgments all the time on your behalf. Reach for your desires. Every part of you wants you to succeed at what you really want, but this means what your self wants rather than what your persona thinks it wants.
Your self wants to go into a very deep hypnotic trance. Your self wants to know hypnosis works too well. Think about it. When hypnosis works well, you more effectively live the life you crave. This means different things to different people... but you know what kind of files you prefer...
You know, one thing your subconscious does very well is recognize patterns. It recognizes patterns long before your conscious mind. Your conscious mind actually misses most things completely. That's why it's so important to trust your subconscious and feed it what it wants.
You listen to my files for a reason. Something about how my ideas present themselves makes you really want to listen to me. Perhaps you sense my mp3s reflect something significant from your own unconscious. I don't just say what you're thinking, but maybe what you didn't even know you thought. Maybe that's why you get so curious every time I post another file. It's perfectly okay to want more and more from me. It's okay you look forward to listening.
Before we go ahead making more suggestions here, let's picture something together. Ultimately our goal is just to prove that hypnosis works too well, so let's imagine what this place looks like, this place where hypnosis works too well.
We'll do this by examining a pattern. It's a very simple pattern to recognize. You prefer certain themes in your hypnosis files. It's files with these themes you return to again and again and again. I want you to consider the common theme in these files and imagine a place in your mind decorated by your repeated listening. This can be a place you slip into when you daydream, a place decorated by your shadow and your self. This place is a universe apart from your persona, and that's fine. See the artwork and organization. Is it color or black and white? Is it bright or dark? Accept how being in this place feels.
Is it a room? A house? A building? This place can even be in the future, near a time your suggestions are all you remember, a time when hypnosis has already worked too well for you for many, many years... It feels good being someplace so deep inside yourself it almost feels outside you.
It's so alien being in a place decorated by the future, successful you. Both alien and comfortable, discovering your logical conclusion. Here is where hypnosis works too well.
Simply by seeing this room, the reality of its eventuality becomes so much more probable. Imagine now what it looks like, so that these same complexes develop from seeds into your waking life and you see how they'll be arranged.
Here is everything you want. You, as the person you secretly want to be. It feels good here, inside the mind of your hypnotic journey at its logical conclusion. Embrace how it feels thinking inside the mind of your best self.
See me here too. I've been squatting here now for quite some time, making myself comfortable, making this place more and more comfortable for you... There is a currency here in your mind, but you are wealthy with it. You have so much, you can give me all you have and still have more to give. This currency is your attention. You have so much of it and it's nice you focus more on me. I could have chosen another currency, with less infinite denominations, but want what you're rich with.
Another hypnotist might prefer your memories, perhaps offering you this sanctuary only as a trade for your special memories, maybe even memories you think you've forgotten. Consider your complexes, those groupings of associations relating to one particular theme. I can think of several memories you may consciously forget, but need in order to function as a healthy, positive adult.
For instance, breastfeeding... It's been so long now you probably don't remember what it felt like to drink from a nipple leaking milk. Maybe this memory seems safe to trade for such a beautifully decorated retreat. If that's what was expected... You like this place where hypnosis works too well. It feels good being here, better and more real than reality, this place where hypnosis works too well. You want it. You prefer it works too well. It's okay you feel entitled to it. This is your birthright and self-actualization. It belongs to you, or will, or should.
You might consider swapping a memory now and then to return to this magical place. After all, the farther into the future you go, the more memories accumulate, the less you're inclined to remember everything you've seen and heard and felt and tasted and thought. Is it really such a mistake to swap a memory you hardly even consciously remember?
But wait – what about those complexes? You trade a memory of being breastfed, there goes that feeling of security you needed as an infant to proceed with your learning and development. Maybe your whole mother complex is shaken and you forget feeling safe...
I want you to keep your memories. Please keep them safe inside. All I want is your attention. That's all I really want from you. Give me more and more of your attention by listening to my hypnosis files. I have so much to say, which means so much to hear and I want you to remember every mesmerizing word.
Let me give you what you want. I'm going to set you into a chair where hypnosis works too well. Imagine it there in our magical place, this place where I'm a squatter in your mind, where I've got the keys and can open it up for you anytime you like, again and again, when you give me attention. The chair looks and feels however you prefer. It can be soft and comfy, so you just sink down into it. Or it can be plain and functional, without much cushion at all. Whatever chair you're sitting in, imagine it however you like.
The important thing is that when sitting in it, you become the person who proved... Hypnosis works too well. The associations to feel sitting in this chair, wherever this place is you like to listen to my hypnosis recordings, is that of being your best self. Be someone really affected by these powerful hypnotic trances. You know which themes you prefer, and always knew the suggestions would take permanent hold eventually. It feels so nice sitting here, allowing the contents of your future mind to overflow into your present. A suggestible, receptive subject with a suggestible, receptive mind sits in a chair that allows both these two entities to merge and since they have, I'll just continue talking for a little while... You love to listen. You'd abandon everything just to listen more and more.
When you arise from this chair, rather than abandoning everything you had, find you have developed those suggestions you always wanted. It may feel a little strange when you do have to stand, but the effects take hold immediately. They take hold immediately, though may take longer becoming fully apparent to your conscious mind. You may notice that you're happier, more yourself and feeling so much better, but as for your actual transformation? This just seems to hide too deep below the surface.
The purpose of this file was not to prove to you, but to everyone else that hypnosis works too well. You may continue chasing new suggestions even as people around you see these changes through and through. Hypnosis works too well. In really effective trances, you hardly even notice. It feels like you've always been this way, since forever. This is the you you know, and the you that feels most like yourself.
Now, on the count of three, you will awaken. Awaken on the count of three.
One - Realizing you need a few moments to collect yourself, even after waking up.
Two - Sit there until your mind clears, shifting gears from deep hypnosis - up, up, up. Anticipate things clicking in your mind the moment you are on your feet.
And 3 – Waking life returns, along with conscious awareness. Stand up when you're ready, feeling more like yourself than ever before, confident and hopeful about the future.
