Thanks for the kind words. I always like hearing about how that induction is working (or not working). I'm glad you got good results from it.

i'd been poking around on the site for awhile, and last night finally decided "what the hell, go for it." listened to blink's induction while lying in bed. You're the epitome of refinement and good taste. :D then i completely blacked out. i have NO memory of the files, and i know it wasn't a nap, b...

I don't know about submissive tendencies and sleep deprivation, but the researchers have reported that after about three days, give or take, people do start to hallucinate.

Does there have to be a catch? OK, try this on for a catch. When it comes to maintaining that perfect swimmer's body, you're going to have to make some behavioral changes.

My secret goal is to get you all drooling for me. :wink:

The "curse" part is that it can't be changed once you start it. You're "condemnded" to experience those effects forever, or until you have the curse removed. Neat, huh?

The resistance induction one? Tried it, both the regular and the GS version. All it did was my my arm sore... There are a few variations.

Visualization is a weakness for me too. I'm learning to live with this limitation - a disappointment. I'm realizing it might be the price I pay for being analytical.

Every time someone reports a failure to trance, I cringe a little. First, there is no requirement that you relax in order to go into trance. Hypnotists tell you to do it because it makes you feel good (so you'll want to come back for more), it usually helps with trance, and it give us a nice physica...

Don't get me wrong in the point that the files are entertaining to listen to,, but for them to actually work,,, I think is a load of crap. OK,I thinkI'm beginning to understand.

If you're using hypnosis in the context of a pre-existing, ongoing relationship, then the issues of consent and power dynamics aren't really going to be that important, are they?

Hi, Xerox. Because binaurals are stand alone files with no introduction do I need to put them together with introduction files or are they designed to work on there own.
