Hypnotize yourself to be a pony, links included

[Skycoaster 697]

Going to try Dashie again. I think my problem is that I can't achieve "trance" state. I've tried the black mind file, I think my problem is my I'm most comfortable on my side.

[Moved to Elsewhere 11,331]

I tried the Twilight one and I think that one worked I organized a little and my voice kind of sounded like twilight a little.

[Antismurf9001 1,271]

Did I do something wrong?

 

Now, when I give advice, keep in mind that I have yet to make this work, but based on my last experience, here's my theory.  Don't take what the guide is saying as instructions.  For example, when the guide says something like, 'And now you feel even more relaxed', do not make a conscious effort to relax yourself.  Your brain will do so on its own if you allow it to.  My suggestion would be to 'read' the voice, as though you were reading a book (is reading, itself, a form of hypnosis?  It seems like it sometimes).

 

Again, keep in mind that I have yet to get this to work.  However, with the above technique, I believe that I got extremely close to getting it to work (but was foiled by my mind over-analyzing the situation).

Today, I tried Rainbow Dash, but when I tried to get up, or even move, my hands, which had previously been numb, regained feeling. I guess I mentally FORCED my hands to go numb. Any other tips from people are appreciated.

Question: Before I do this again tonight I was thinking about switching to a different pony like Rainbow Dash or Twilight. Is it bad if I do I've only listened to the Applejack file. I listened to it once on Saturday night and twice last night. Will it mess up anything with future sessions?

Nah, it's fine. If you want to switch ponies you can totally do it without any repercussions  It's reasons like this that I truly believe that hypnosis truly is the most powerful and useful therapy technique ever.

[Psych Ward 377]

I just tried it for the first time.  I tried Pinkie Pie and I felt my hands go numb a bit and my skin get all tingly.  I'm going to try it a few more times.

Thanks I'm thinking about trying rainbow dash tonight i also have a question would it make a difference if i lay on my back, stomach or not lay down at all?

Personally I'd lay down just so that it's easier for you to relax, but you can do it any way you want. Just make sure you're comfortable, because you're going to need to be once you're going into the trance.

Gave it another go and wow tenth time is the charm, I was RD but I couldnt move my wings it was like trying to move your eyes before you figures out how.

[Psych Ward 377]

Any advice?  I've tried it a couple times and I start to feel some numbness and tingling, but that's it.  I'm relaxed and all though.

[Npatterson10 5]

Yea me too, I never actually felt anything I was dreaming... I really wish I could just see what its like. To know what mlp ponies feel.

[Milk Wave 454]

Ahh, I love how now I can numb my legs to where they turn to hooves again. That is, if I dont look at them though.

But anyhow, im debating if I should try again tonight or not.. Its 12 in the morning here so its probably a no.

[ZenPowerBuilder 17]

Just did my fourth session tonight and tried rainbow dash for the first time. Same as the first three times with applejack my hands started to feel numb. At the time when it told me about the phrase I heard my dad get up out of bed (my parents room being right next to mine) I stopped I'll try again tomorrow maybe with applejack agaid idk

On page 13 I posted some questions.  As they haven't been answered (and two pages on they likely won't be), I'll repost.  But, to add some original content, I'll put a couple new questions I've thought of.

 

 

1) Will reading other people's experiences ruin it because my brain understands what is happening?  I hope not, since I've read four or five pages of this thread...

2) How much of a background in meditation do I need?

3) Approximately how long will one "session" of trance last?

4) While big, over-ear headphones are ideal, could cheaper plastic ones work if I'm in an environment with little to no noise (assuming the headphones don't fall out)?

5) Is it possible to remain in a trance if you realize that you are in one?

6) I've read some testimonials, but does someone with "expert" (or close) knowledge on hypnosis know how possible it is for people to change their thinking or perhaps even personality for a short period of time with the kinds of hypnosis that the OP links to?

i tried this and nothing happened. Is it possible that my will is too strong for hypnosis? Maybe i will put the Apple Jack Hypno thing on a loop while sleeping.

Putting it on loop while you sleep won't do a thing. And your mind can't be to strong for hypnosis. Hypnosis works on everypony. You just need to find your own way of getting into trance

I don't have a degree in psychology (although I read about it all the time), but I know probably the same amount about hypnosis as your typical psychology major would and if you really want to stretch it I might know just about as much as hypnosis as any street hypnotist would.

 

1)nope

2)You shouldn't need any, but if things don't work out the first few times I'd recommend meditating beforehand.

3)One of these tracks lasts about fifteen to twenty minutes if I remember correctly.

4)Yup

5)Yup

6)Not really. You're still you and will always be you.

Okay. So far i have tried every mane 6 except applejack at least twice. I lay down in a bed, close eyes, make a voice on medium level of volume and trying to relax. As long as i keep listening, i feel some... well... changes, as for hooves, i am really enjoy by a voice dectation about feelings and e.t.c. I can even feel some contraction on my back when its going to fluttershy wings. But that`s it. Relaxing. Funny feelings. Once more relaxing. However when it is over i am still just relaxed and feel... changes... but as soon i open my eyes everything is gone.

What am i do wrong?

[Floris 287]

I just tried the Rarity one, I sure feel relaxed.. and mostly felt the arms/legs changes hooves part.

 

First time ever trying something like this.. this is amazing.

[lardbobobo 1,593]

Just keep it up. This isn't like the whole tulpa thing where you quite literally screw up your mind to the point where you're seeing things and feeling things that don't exist, rather hypnosis is more along the lines of you just being open to suggestion and acting out what's being told. There is such a thing as post hypnotic suggestion in which you will continue to act out the things after the trance, but I'm not sure how well it works with the Applejack one. I listened to the Pinkie Pie and Rarity one and it leaves you with "if you want to return to this pony state just say ______" and for my sister who actually gave these a shot after she said hypnosis was crap it works beautifully.

[Antismurf9001 1,271]

I made my third attempt last night, this time with Fluttershy.  Unfortunately, I don't think that this one worked at all...  I may have fallen asleep in the middle, because it seemed to go by extremely quickly, and I don't remember the guide explaining some of the transformations from the other tracks, such as the tail, wings, and fur.  I was probably too tired at the time to be doing this properly.  I've found though, that even without the transformations, the relaxation that these give me really helps me to fall asleep afterwards, so I might just start using these as sleep-aids.

[LeoPrism 25]

I tried this yesterday evening, the Fluttershy one, and it worked for the most part. The head, hooves and tail weren't perfect, and it could have been more intense all in all, but I know I can get into a much deeper trance if I have more time to calm down. So I will definetly try this again, either looped or with relaxing music before the initiation starts. I'll also check out some of the other files some day.

 

What I never thought about is how wonderful it feels to have wings... just the sensation of a gentle breeze going through your feathers...

[Unified Draft 130]

I was watching the RD one and i will be honest,I don't know what happened i remember being so relaxed and then came the park evolving the transformation. The the Nextel morning the first thing I was thinking about was clouds. I think it is rubbing off but not quite yet

[AngelofDeath 259]

Hmm I tried again the other night and i'm not getting anything now. I tried Twilight and only got half the transformation the first time. My second attempt at Rainbow Dash I felt the whole thing, wings and all. Some nights I can get it and others I can't. I guess it's just trial and error till I finally get it. XD

[Meirno 550]

Just my bucking luck that mediafire isn't working... Rather upset. Hopefully it will decide to work before I gotta go to work tomorrow. If it works, it'd be great for working out?

 

 

Finally got it to work, and I am sure you all can guess who I chose. First session done, feels strange... Didn't feel much as others have described it. I felt the hooves, and I really felt the wings when they surged. So strange, I was on my back and felt them extend, feeling them extend through the couch. Very very nice though, so relaxed.
