Initial Trials

I started with hypnosis within the past year. Initially, I was skeptical of the application. I knew hypnosis was possible. I had family members participate in stage shows, and a close friend used hypnotherapy to quit smoking. However, my goal was to get true submission, not break a bad habit or turn someone into a chicken.

In my first attempt, I worked with a female sub I've known for years. She was skeptical, but willing to try. I was lucky in my choice; she's a very creative person, and I've learned since that creativity is very helpful for visualization.

My initial attempt was very disappointing to me. The induction took approximately fifteen minutes, and I needed to deeper her for about ten minutes further. I then tested the depth of her trance by sticking her hands together, then gluing her eyelids closed. Both worked for a second or two, but were quickly overcome.

When I woke her, I found that none of the triggers I had set worked. The most interesting memory from the trance was that her eyes kept moving, and she put a lot of effort into stopping them but couldn't. She was also very tired from the experience. She was very relaxed though, and this gave me the opening to bring her into trance again in the future.
