30 Days of Hypnosis

Challenge #1 – Day 10 – And This Really IS Day 10!

Finally, my posts have caught up…phew. So, I went right back to listening to the script last night.  No reason not to, really.  Now that I have tested the theory, I know that there is a marked difference.  Another side effect, or perhaps logical result, is that I have this oddly optimistic feeling hanging over me like…well…like [...]

Challenge #1 – Day 7 – Success!

Okay so it isn’t like an unmitigated success or anything. I still don’t feel hypnotized when I read the scripts but the process seems to work really well to get me to sleep initially and today I slept a full 9 hours. I woke up a couple of times but I fell back asleep right [...]

Challenge #1 – Day 5 – A New Routine

I am starting to really get into this.  For the second day in a row, I opted to listen to my script in an effort to fall back to sleep after a too-early start time, and the results are both bizarre and amazing.  As I did yesterday, I did NOT listen to the wake-up script [...]

Challenge #1 – Day 4 – I Might Be On the Verge of a Psychotic Break and Other Stories

Challenge #1 – Day 3 – Here We Go

Yesterday I slept maybe two and a half or three hours spread out over the day. When I got off work at six I hung around with a co-worker for an hour and a half until it was time to pick my girlfriend up from work. We went to breakfast with our eyes on going [...]

Challenge #1 – Day 2 – *Tap Tap Tap* Is This Thing On?

Read the script again, today.  Very relaxing.  Not really certain if I am hypnotizing myself, though.  I guess day two is hardly the day to make assessments as to whether or not my stress-relief endeavor is working.  I definitely feel sleepy when I read the script out loud, but I also feel silly.  Patrick makes [...]
