October 17 (Patreon)

in 2019, that's the 10th anniversary of the very first time I hypnotized someone else (deliberately). I was sitting at a bar in Philly with my then-submissive. One of my best friends was playing piano there, we'd just finished dinner, and there we were, talking about hypnosis. I had just gotten an iphone, and said, I bet there's an app for that. a few minutes later, I'd downloaded Hypnotizer, which featured flipping and changing colour squares. I held it up for her and started talking, and a few moments later she just fell forward onto me.

I'd been hypnotized in college at a stage show, and after that I'd been captivated, but when I went to do research on it, all the books at the library were, to my mind, terrible. They all had scripts which I couldn't imagine myself saying and ideas which seemed stilted and weird. However, when I heard her say, "I don't believe in hypnosis!" to someone else, at a party I was hosting, something clicked in my mind, and I made it my mission to get her hypnotized so she could believe. 

This led me to meet Buddy from the Boston scene for lunch, to having one of our friends at a tickling munch hypnotize her at the munch and again on a podcast we used to do, and ultimately, because his triggers didn't seem to work for me, to that bar in Philly a little bit later. This also led to us attending lots of munches in the area and especially Boston where other people were talking about and doing hypnosis.

When I think back on that time, there's still a sense of disbelief that hypnosis will work on someone else. That the words I say can POSSIBLY affect someone to the degree that I now know they do. That I can stop someone in place with a word, drop them into trance with a look or a touch, that they can become a non-smoker, lose weight,  experience intense pleasure, stop being allergic, or recover from mental anguish.

Since the beginning, I've been fascinated by the possibilities of the mind and what it can be made to do, DIFFERENTLY than it was doing before. I love that we have additional choices, if only we open up to them. I love that I can help people experience intense fantasies or change their life for the better. 

In honor of my 10th Anniversary, I'm in the process of creating 10 audios/videos for release starting on October 17th. With a little effort they should all be done by then, and I'll be releasing them to Patrons (Thank you all!) starting then, and in the mean time, I'll be releasing one old and one new audio a week until then (at least, that's the goal!)

Thanks for your support, and if you'd like to, let me know how you came to get into hypnosis!
