Hypnovember 2022, day 19. Prompt: Choices
cw: hypnotic induction, no wakener
This is a text hypnotic induction.
It's intended to make you go into a trance.
It's not your only choice, of course.
You can choose to stop reading. It's alright. I won't mind.
Well, hello! Thanks for staying.
Let me say that you still have choices here.
To avoid confusing you, because these things can be very confusing sometimes, I will state your choices at any given time this way: option A, option B, option C.
For example, right now, A means you keep reading.
B means you concentrate on these words.
C means you breathe deeply in, hold your breath for a second, then breathe out.
Was that clear? Everything alright? Good!
Choose A if you want to feel the intention of these words.
Choose B if that intention is already clear to you.
Choose C if you have kept breathing and feel a little relaxed now, after that nice, fresh air coming into your lungs.
Now choose A if the previous statement makes you feel even more relaxed.
Choose B if you're relaxing anyway, just because you're focusing more and more on these words.
Choose C if you wish to relax even more.
Excellent. You're no doubt seeing the pattern. There are always three options. Three choices. Three possible paths.
Now, option A will mean you were not thinking about the word fascination.
Option B will mean you were indeed thinking about that word, because you know what it means.
And option C will mean that you were feeling extremely focused on these words, even though you don't know, wouldn't think or didn't remember that that is a form of fascination.
(It's normal if you're feeling a little confused right at this point. The mind is only capable of processing so much, after all, and receiving so much information after all you've being doing may be too much, all things considered. That's why, after this, I will have simpler options for you.)
A: Let yourself go of any complex thoughts.
B: Let any and all worries fade away.
C: Focus on how your body and mind are relaxing now.
I'm sure you're relaxing because these options are much simpler. No convoluted sentences. Only easy to follow ones. See how easily you're following them! Now:
Choose A if you're so focused now.
Choose B if you're reading this now and your mind wishes only to go on.
Choose C if your mind is going on now, and while going on, going deeper.
B: Wanting to relax and focus even more.
C: Wanting to fall into trance.
There's a nice metaphor right there. Your body is motionless, so your mind could be said to be motionless, too. And yet
A: Your mind feels like it's falling down, further and further down anyway.
B: Further and further down.
C: Down within yourself, towards a quiet place. A happy place.
That's another nice metaphor. A hypnotic trance is a state of mind, yet it can be understood as a place. A place within you. A place you're moving towards. Sometimes you can get hypnotized without even realizing it. But you always realize when you go mindless. When you feel the happiness that comes from an empty mind.
A: You may start noticing that happiness now.
C: You know a wonderful trance awaits you.
A: Maybe you just wish to keep going.
B: You have come this far and you're so close now.
C: You anticipate the quiet and peace that will be yours, that will cover you like a warm blanket.
You just keep reading the words, one by one, hoping to be led where you want to go.
Choose A if you want to go now.
Choose B if you want to be in trance.
