A timeline of papers on Neurolinguistic Programming

It's been a long time coming, but I've finished a page that details the scientific investigation of NLP.

It's got lots of quotes and links from various papers, and has a good sampling of Weitzenhoffer's chapter on NLP (I wish I could have quoted the entire thing, there are some bangers in there.)

What is the feeling of hypnotizing people like? Does it change when you’re using different techniques or working with different people much? What’s your favourite part about it?

CW: I go into induction tone during the audio. No intention to hypnotize the listener but I want to be safe and prepare. Script below if you want to review. No suggestions.

So, with the note that I would adjust my tempo and aesthetic depending on who and why I was doing a trance. I want to talk in general terms.

It's nerve wracking of course... you are gathering trust and shaping it via words into something which can generate a connection and an experience. It doesn't matter if it's my first time doing it with someone or my fifth time that day during our third year of dating, if I am taking the tenderness of connection and wielding it then it's going to get my heart pumping. It's desperately intimate. To ask someone to dampen their focus and thoughts and square them only on this moment and the words being gently poured directly into the back of the hypnotee's mind.

But my word is it beautiful... to have that attention and trust and to wield it with delicate care. To watch someone's features melt as they surrender to that trust and just let someone else steer for a while. To let their thoughts-- stop...

I'm in love with that dance. The give and take of it all.

For technique I tend to favor a presence based approach, by overwhelming my partner with either my physical presence-- approaching their personal space, holding their focus and sometimes their body, grabbing their attention and making them meet my gaze, watch my motions, LISTEN TO MY WORDS and then just guide them down, down, down from there...

For language set I used to be so desperately involved with indirect Ericksonian phrasing. My second instructor (the great Wiseguy) encouraged me to be more direct and I feel I traded a lot of my personal flavor when I trained myself out of it.

Time was I would wax poetic about the fact that every trance experience simply builds from the last or even from dreams and expectations, you know the type where you are imagining how deeply entranced you would be if a hypnotist were guiding you down with some powerfully hypnotic words, much like the ones I'm using now. See when you are imagining such an experience it becomes easy to realize that reality is not too far from fantasy, particularly when your dream is to let the fantasy become the reality... and so forth.

I recently did a post with hypnotic language that uses a bunch of those subtle little tricks. Your double binds, relating experiences to target suggestibility, the yes sets. Time was I could do that on a ramble.

I don't know if I miss it? I play far more than I used to and though I dabble with the occasional trip to Esdaile, I don't really see the point in being long-winded [really, Dawn? You don't? I don't think you know what succinct means] when you can be direct and controlling.

There's a certain thrill in catching a partner's gaze, watching them squirm under your oppressive stare and then saying a firm and single command, that they will obey, like WHIMPER.

And... therein goes my favorite bit.

I like reactions. I like pushing buttons. I like doing everything I can to know that the person I am playing with is impacted by me and my performance.

I hope I got some reactions out of some of you with this silly little reply.

Now be good Tumblr users and tell me about it.

Hypnosis is such a funny kink put to practice. What if we centered ourselves and focused on mindful breathing? Only you know, sexy.

[binaural-histolog]

sometimes the classics are classics for a reason. like yeahhhh okay some of the phrases may seem old and tired but someone put me under the other day after seeing my reaction to casually saying "back and forth" in a sentence. scary hypnotic character from a podcast i was listening to went "let me help you... relax." and after my eyes stopped fluttering i was like "woah haha he said the thing!! that's so cool!" we gotta retire SOME tropes but others can stay. pocketwatches will never go outta style

I hear a lot about people with ADHD who have a hard time getting deep into trance, and like, VALID. Focusing is sometimes a seemingly impossible task, and that’s a whole other conversation…..But also,

adhd and hypno can work together and be so. good. The instant dopamine hits after completing each task that’s been instructed? The mental reward after each *click* or *snap*?? The “out of sight, out of mind” syndrome that makes memory play sooo easy??? Use it and abuse it baby

do u have any advice for training new triggers? im new to this but wanna be soooo mindless and dumbb 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

i have two bits of advice that will do ya well:

Repetition

Fake it till ya make it.

1- Anything learned is learned through repetition. If you wanna get into an exercise routine- you just keep working out daily until it's a natural thing for you to do. Same with this! If you want it to set in... keep listening, testing, repeating.

2- For example, if every time you see the color blue, you stick your tongue out, eventually it will happen automatically. Tell yourself, this is what blue does... and stick your tongue out. Every single time you see blue, you stick your tongue out. Fake it being a trigger, and eventually, it really will be.

gooooooood luck!

Penlight Public Release 0.1631.1: Copycat Storyline Continuation

Hello, everyone!

This month's release adds two lovely new CGs for the scenes introduced in April. Those weekend scenes were a lot of fun to write and the illustrations really do a lot to bring them to life. I'm really happy with how they turned out; the second one in particular~

On the writing front, Copycat is inching ever closer to its dramatic conclusion, with the new script taking us right up to a critical decision for Kyou. No further than that, I'm afraid, but I have a good idea for how at least one of those paths will end and I'm hopeful of getting its conclusion written in time for the June release.

So please enjoy the latest release, and I'll see you next time :)

Hello! Huge fan of your sharings. May I ask what are your thoughts on listening to hypnosis tracks online? And if you have an artist to recommend? Asking on behalf of those who want to experience erotic hypnosis but do not have a partner to work with. Personally my interests include feet, denial and cuckoldry. Thank you.

I don't listen to hypnosis tracks online, so I don't know what's best for you there. https://thehypnocollective.com seems like a generally good resource for recorded tracks generally.

No Set

We all know 'yes sets' but what about 'no sets'?

"Do you have thoughts?

No, I don't have thoughts

Do you have free will?

No, I don't have free will

Do you want to resist?

No, I don't want to resist"

There are multiple ways to get your subject to tell you exactly what you want

The thing about hypnosis is its effectiveness reflects its success at its intimacy. The passion of the hypnotist is the art of communication itself, honing not only language but the full sensory spectrum into a finely crafted precision instrument, so well-practiced touching the mind - yours in particular if you're lucky - that it becomes not only natural, but with a willing subject, inevitable that they succumb to the yearning to succumb.

The words you put into someone's mind matter when they're meant to be the sum total of their thoughts. You need to craft them with care, sculpting your intent into the very shape they take in one's expectant head. The hypnotist finds their relationship with their very verbiage to be rather intimate itself; after all, to know what words evoke so strongly the abstractions of the mind means having spent quite a bit of time quite vulnerable with them, first.

The passion isn't just for the other, and it goes beyond simple lust; you're as much in bed with what you're saying as you are with the one tied up in it~ The tittilating texture of every relentless phoneme laid bare against the others to seep effortlessly into the mind.. no wonder it's so hard to resist bringing it to the bedroom, too💕

I'm always surprised that Jedi Mind Control doesn't appear more often in hypnokink (shoutout to Penlight for being one of the few that does) as it's one of the few places where it's a tool of the "good guys" and not the bad guys.

part of the joy of having a fetish that's still somewhat outside of the mainstream (if you disagree then xkcd geologists dot png) but fairly popular is that complaining about a trope being too common in your semi-obscure pornography is really funny

One thing I do like about Discord is that you can just chat with people. I've been attending the Erotic Hypnosis Book Club on Sundays with Wordweaver and Vreahli and it's been a lovely combination of educational chat and shitposting.

Where do you find community and connection within the online hypnokink community?

I don’t, to be honest! The migration of the community to discord was terrible for me; I hate it as a platform, and the built-in balkanization it created really overwhelms me. Plus, my life schedule makes it really hard to do online play.

I’m active-ish in two severs: one server for content creators that I love, but it’s totally business-focused. Another small-ish hypno server that’s very chill, but my life/schedule doesn’t align with their events/group chats/etc.

My community involvement right now is just co-organizing the Baltimore Skillshare and going to Charmed (and Beguiled again, which is a nice development). To the extent I do hypno-play, it pretty much happens there.

23 and 63

23. Hypnotic bondage

When I was a kid, I loved pretending my hands were tied or cuffed and 'flexing' against imaginary restraints. I kinda mentally lump it in with 'hypnotic orgasms', as I've experienced it primarily as tightening and flexing my muscles as though it's happening.

I also love using bondage imagery with a friend who has a long history with it and thus lany mention of bondage is cruise control for subspace.

63. Hypnotic scents

The safety stickler in me doesn't like the idea of a trigger that's easy to find in the wild, but my partner loves smelling me and I'm tempted to suggest we could make a hypno scene out of it...

[binaural-histolog]

I really like the hypnokink community, but sometimes is really hard to defend it. What gives a person the idea that they can just get into someones dm, treat them like they are nothing, like they are just an object to your entertainment. Just because someone posts about liking to be entranced, doesn't mean you can just send them a spiral, and magically they are yours. Hypno subs aren't stupid, they have agency, and the people who does this shit are always the most lower effort, entitled, gross assholes around here.

With that said, treat people like people, with respect and decency, is that so hard?

First, we must define erotic hypnosis. It’s important to note the distinction between hypnosis used for erotic purposes, and hypnosis which is erotic, qua the activity itself. In this essay I will…

ahahaha ok, i'll bite. whats erotic hypnosis (im a visual learner btw)
