All hypnosis is self hypnosis, I'm sure you've heard of that one, haven't you? It's an interesting theory, because it flies in the face of consent, if all hypnosis is self hypnosis, then as a subject, your can only go under because, you want to be hypnotised, alt least that's the theory isn't it? It's a dangerous idea though, when you think about it, it means the only reason you'll go under for me is because, you want to go under for me, I can't force you to relax, or trick you into surrendering, the only way you can be hypnositised is if, you want to be hypnotised, and if all hypnosis is self hypnosis, than what happens when you remember being hypnotised? If you can put yourself into that state, calm, relaxed, open, and suggestible, then what's to stop your memories from being just as much a trap as an induction? Think about the last time you went under, or perhaps the time before, or the time before that. It's hard to put a finger on when you slip under, isn't it? The point of no return when you went from willingly following an induction, a voice, text, a spiral, a pocketwatch, that moment you went from willing participant, to that empty, dazed, relaxed, warm state of mind, that calm emptiness, in fact if you try to remember now, it's impossible to find the point of no return, when you go from awake to entranced, just like that time you were young, convinced you could stay up late, the hours ticked by at first, then the minutes, then the seconds, on and on, you remember everything up to the point you finally surrendered, where your mind finally slipped into rest, all hypnosis is self hypnosis, so the feeling in the back of your mind, the pull that seems to be dragging you down, its your own mind, you want to be hypnotised, because all hypnosis is self hypnosis, so as the seconds tick by, as your feeling warmer, more relaxed, more open to my words, as your focusing on the screen, as the world is falling away, your being hypnotised, because you want to be hypnotised, just like a spiral, trapped in a loop, remembering being hypnotised, wanting to be hypnotised, being hypnotised, want, relax, need, surrender, seconds and minutes ticking by, your breathing out of rythym, but that's ok, just take a deep breath, slow and easy, let your shoulders rise and fall, those long, deep breaths, sinking deeper and deeper with each breath, safe to fall into a trance for me, safe to relax, safe to be empty, safe to let go, all hypnosis is self hypnosis, all you need is permission to sink back into those memories, those warm, hazy, comfortable memories, so close now, that weight, pulling you down, warm, familiar, deeper and deeper, breathing deeper and deeper, shoulders rising and falling, waiting for permission, not quite up, not quite down, just waiting for a magic word, deeper and deeper, you've almost put yourself into a trance, so close now, rising and falling, deeper and deeper, focused, relaxed, calm and empty, just one more word, then you can finally rest, safe, calm empty, now.
