Questions about hypnosis by a semi-newbie!
Posted: January 26th, 2008, 1:06 am
Hi all!
I am a 34 yo man and even though I m new to this site and to hypnosis, I read a lot about it before trying anything (because I didn t want to spend my hard-earned cash on something I didn t have any idea it would work on me and didn t find anything free..until now), but I still have some questions.
I listened to one file, only once (lack of time, and don t worry, I know it shouldn t work with only one listening) but I think I was in trance but not sure how much.
I am very analatycal (sorry about the spelling, french is my first language) and I have a constant dialogue in my mind almost every minute of everyday. In fact, I suspect I enter trance quite a few times everyday, if not almost all of my days! lol While I work I often go on automatic mode and start imagining things, situations, dialogues etc. And I sometimes don t see the time go by and the only way to get me out of it by a co-worker is to say my name when talking to me! Only I imagine those things, not in images, but in words...I guess I ll have a hard time with imagining vivid things, but maybe a facility to go into trance? I don t know...
So when I listened to the file, I was sitting on a chair but my head didn t have anything to fall on. I started to feel very heavy, I couldn t and wouldn t move my body and my head fell on my shoulder. So far so godd, right? But wait! My neck got cramped so I was thinking, all the while the file was playing, that I should stop and get more comfortable. I didn t want to, so I stayed like that, but I kept telling myself I should get more comfortable. That and many other things like analysing lots of the things being said, like when it said "you don t hear anything else but my voice", I kept thinking " but I DO hear my refrigerator! And my fish hitting the side of the aquarium and...and...and man, my neck is hurting! And what s that in my oants? Am I supposed to get an erection in trance? I m that much of a pervert??" You see what I m talking about?
Seems like I WAS in trance, but my conscious mind wasn t cooperating..that s weird. So, my question is: can the file still work on me if it s like that everytime I listen to it? (yes I know, I ll get more comfortable next time, but still, my internal dialogue will probably still be present)
Also, while listening to the file, my stomach and leg started to spasm, to convulse...is that normal in (half) trance? That too got my mind talking :)
And one last question..if a file is self-triggerable, and it works, and it, for example, is supposed to get me on my knees and imagine something, would I do it automatically, without thinking anything after I spoke the words? Sounds weird to me since I m the one saying thsoe words and I know what they do and when I do it...
I probably will have more questions soon but I think I ranted for far too long already :0 Thanks in advance for your answers!
