Yes.

Its different for each person, and consciousness is much more of a continuum than a simple awake/trance/asleep state.

Yeah, what exactly is normal anyway? Any why is it that many people who want to be 'different' all act very much the same? Blink! I'm rather surprised to see a post from you, as I thought you had stopped reading WMM, your last post was October. Your Basic induction encouraged me to study Dr. Erickso...

In response to your question about visualization, neither is easy for me, but it is easier to feel "the warm soft sand" in Blink Basic than to imagine a beach.

Yes indeed, I am much more able to understand and retain a talk (sermon-style) when my eyes are closed or I occupy my hands instead of trying to "pay attention." Hmm, my teachers just said I was easily distracted. I hadn't ever thought about it before, but you make an interesting point. Not everyone...

Good point. So far, I usually only get uncomfortable with being so relaxed, almost like my muscles WANT to move and get my circulation going. I've found that my hands tend to get rather numb, regardless of my position. But it's not like you'll overdose on trance. The worst thing that could happen is...

I'm not an expert, but it's not like aspirin or nyquil, more won't harm you. Every time you watch TV and catch yourself watching a commercial by accident, that's a trance. That's why you'll often start craving what's on during prime time, since they play so much in the way of food commercials.

You might be on the right track, though there are some things that run contrary to your hypothesis, WhatThe75. 1: I am a voracious reader, both online and in print. After a moment's thought, I wonder if my 'inner voice' is sort of 'translating' the text I'm reading and it ends up processing as an au...

Never had a problem with insomnia, but no kidding Macgyver, that file really did quiet my wandering thoughts and sucked me right in. I didn't lose time or anything, but I loved it. I noticed, though, that it felt like just before I'd really zone out, my heart would start racing. I have a minor heart...

Mac: Actually, that's the thing, I don't usually paint a picture in my own mind first, it just comes to me in words, describing the scene, like reading it in a book. I really got in to Blink's Induction, it was outright great how I was taken into the story. Rather than accepting direct suggestions, ...

E-cup is nice, but they're hers to live with. Anyway, a physical way to help with firmness is persistent massage. It has helped my wife (F cup) to go from fatty breasts to perky and firm. Of course, we want them to be bigger, so I can't help you there.

I've successfully hypnotized my wife, sent her through several really nice guided imagery sessions, worked with her on breast growth and fun stuff like that. She's confident that she's trancing nicely and really enjoys the process. The problem is me. Many years ago I bought a full set of DPF CDs, (C...

Thanks, I'll have to try that. :)

I feel like I'm in a similar boat as the OP. I do believe that hypnosis is possible and in fact easy for some. I used to be able to lucid dream quite regularly, which was fun most of the time. The trouble is: I purchased some DPF recordings a long while ago, I've used many of WMM's files, and I've e...
