Hypnotize yourself to be a pony, links included

Hiya!  Fillyosopher here, the blog writer and the creator of the help gdoc that people were asking about. (both linked below)

 

I've got quite a bit of experience messing with my mind (You'll see quite a bit of tulpa based posts as well), and I've been trying to put that knowledge to good use by testing files and providing information.  There are multiple resources on the right hand side of my blog, including a Q&A page.  I'm also willing to answer any questions here on the forum.  I may post the questions and answers on my blog, so please ask if you do not want your name mentioned there.  Emails for personal questions or urgent needs are fine.

EDIT: I'm going to start posting more hypno based content, starting with Functional learning, Imaginative Specialization, and Hypnosis.  It should give you all a reasonable guess at what effects to expect your first time and after a few sessions.  Note that I have tags on the posts; it may be best if you ignore the tulpa posts for now.  Tulpa and hypnosis communities have strong overlays on the IRC, so I've been including information from both, but if it doesn't interest you feel free to ignore it ^-^

You had a lot of good information in there. After a little over a week and trying everything in the files, I have yet to achieve a trance state or feel any of the mentioned changes. I usually loop the twilight one at night so I've doubtless heard it about 100 times in the last week, but the various induction files and the ind+bgm for twilight are getting me no closer to actually experiencing any of it. I left you a Q&A on your google docs to see if you had any advice, or if I'm just one of those people who couldn't get into a trance to save their life.

To be honest, I didn't expect it to work, but just tried the Applejack one because I was bored. For me, it DID work. I wasn't able to move my body parts like a human and it felt like I had a tail, but for some reason it didn't feel strange.

Could you please take the Hypnosis doc out of your trash?   Not only is that a terrible place to put files that you link to other people, it also means that I can't star it to look at later.

... Thank you for the heads up ... and I have no recollection of deleting that.  I never delete documents...

 

Regardless, it is restored and you have my utmost apologies.

After some Fluttershy I did the Rainbow file again yesterday. and I think it was the best hypnosis yet; anyway still I'm not happy with the trance. The state I know and would call trance is one in which you completely loose orientation and body-awareness, like you couldn't tell if you're lying face-up or face-down or where you are (unless you think about it and remember). Like your body is sleeping while you are fully concious. It's been a while since I experienced that...

I usually lie on the floor when listening to the files and it is a bit irritating to imagine standing of your hooves when your sense of balance tells you that your face is pointing upwards, so I'll keep on practice.

[Viscra Maelstrom 3,718]

well, i tried to do the Vinyl Scratch one tonight.

 

i lied in bed, and listened to it. i felt a kind of "sinking" feeling when i was in the bed, but i had trouble closing my eyes, and i felt a bit of shuddering doing it. i also slightly moved my limbs around and paused the audio log in order to put on Repeat Track.

 

i came to the part when the VS transformation had begun. it was a bit struggling, but eventually i kind of sunk into it deeper. however, half-way past the audio log i got extremely tense and frightened over what happened, so i woke myself up. right now, i am sitting here typing this, and feeling quite ridden. i'm unsure what hypnosis could do to my mind, being diagnosed and all that, and it felt like i was violently fighting back against the sensation inside of my head instead of embracing it.

 

thoughts?

[Austin Leiphart 2]

I tried the Rarity one and had some results but not full blown trance. I felt the things but could not see them, my eyes fluttered too much. I'll try again sometime today, it is definitely cool though.

[?Pinkie-Pie 0]

WOW! that thing actually works!   I tried the fluttershy one, and i started speaking like her and caring bout animals!!!!! 

Im so glad it works coz im fluttershys number 1 fan!!! 

[Kitty Cat Moonshire 629]

Or you could just take acid. No! I'm kidding! That's a terrible idea

I seriously have to try these out sometime though

But they need one for luna!

I and a few others have tested the files in other physical positions, like sitting and lying face down.  One that worked well for me was laying on all four with my forehead on a pillow.   Simply kneel on your bed and bend at the waist until you can put your weight on your elbows, with your arms pointing forward along your head.  If you can get comfortable (some can't, I had to use a very stiff pillow), then you might be able to use the position for trance.  It certainly helps by reversing the direction of gravity.

Fear is the number 1 barrier to success in hypnosis.  If your mind is afraid of the consequences, it will fight the suggestions, actively if necessary.  This natural response will beat hypnosis every time; hypnosis can't force you to do something you wouldn't normally (despite the TV portrayal).  SO if you have a fear of hypnosis itself, you will have to overcome that first.  The best way to do so is to educate yourself, learn what can and can't happen, and learn what effects are so out of the ordinary as to cause worry.

 

As for 'diagnosed', I have found very few cases  in which a functioning person had a brain structure so dissimilar from average as to have negative effects from hypnosis, which is used to treat many severe and mild mental illnesses.  Actually... I've personally found no cases, but my sample size is rather small, so the possibility is, I suppose, there. Recreational hypnosis is no different.  If you can understand the language used and visualize it, then it will likely be effective.  The only case I can think of off the top of my head where hypnosis should be unilaterally avoided is that of incredibly slow individuals, as they might take longer to break out of effects that were intended to be temporary.

 

Shifting limbs are usually an effect of the binaural tone.  I'd suggest you listen to a pure binaural, no hypnotic track, and see how it effects you.  

which I used when first testing hypnosis.  Turn the sound down until you can hear it constantly over the background noise, but can still hear everything going on around you (keep it low in other words).  If you react similarly, you'll know what effects come from where.  If it is the tone, you could try turning down the file when you listen to it.

 

Finally, it might be helpful to notice what lines caused the reaction in you.  This can be done by listening to the file while fully awake and noting what suggestions used make you uncomfortable.  Keeping yourself awake can be hard for some... I suggest bouncing a leg, playing another song quietly underneath the track, holding you eyes open.  Basically any repetitive action to keep you from falling into trance.  Also, if you do try this, use a loop file or skip the induction portion of the file.

When I did it i felt the exact same thing. The vinyl scratch was the first one i did and have not gotten the same results as i try the others like pinkie pie or fluttershy.

so i should try and not get scared of what should happen? i don't know why i felt like that, but it did have effects on me though which i snapped out from (i kind of felt my fingers going together at their own will, for example).

 

the part of me being afraid it'll affect my diagnosis was i think paranoia after what i felt after waking up from it. i started to lull myself deeper into it eventually when i felt that i concentrated less on my own thoughts and more on her voice. i might have to cover my eyes though, so i only see black should i open them again.

 

i tried listening to the track, but i don't think i'm in the right mindset to do that now though. it didn't have any noticeable negative effects on me though.

 

i could try and see if some part makes me snap easier, as well. on a sidenote, i felt kind of funny when i woke up today. didn't fully believe that i was Vinyl but i sort of replaced my sub-conscious image of me portrayed as my persona (the one in my avatar) to randomly being Vinyl. i suspect it might have had some effects on me?

[Princess Twilight 143]

Trying Twilight Sparkle as of now - 7:08 P.M.

Stopped at - 7:30 P.M.

 

I laid and cooperated through the whole thing.

 

I don't know why, but I do feel rather..curious and oh gosh, I looked over to my right and it's just so messy. I need to clean it. No sorry, I should get back on task.

Well, that was very interesting, I want to do it again.

[Quiles 77]

Wow. After doing the perfectly suggestible bout 4 times over the past few days I lay down and did suggestible into fluttershy loop BGM. A MUCH stronger experience, I had some trouble standing for a few minute afterwards.

[Dashiiizzz 24]

can you enter sleep paralysis from doing this hypnosis stuff? cause ive read up on sleep paralysis and id rather not enter it and start seeing demons or something in my room at night...that's the one fear keeping me from doing this. so is it possible?

Hypnosis has nothing to do with sleep paralysis. It's all fear. Fear of sleep paralysis is keeping your mind closed from the suggestions. It has nothing to do with hypnosis because hypnosis deals with the subconscious.

No problem, I also have some tracks of my own up, but they have a different approach. Check my profile for them. Good luck with your hypnosis experience!

[jofadda 1]

wow, this was amazing, possibly because ive always been scheptical of hypnosis, but i actually felt like i had a horn and hooves, well im definately doing this again sometime, i just need the privacy for it

i could just imagin someone walking in on me and being all "WTF duuuuudddee! THE HEQ?"

it probably doesnt help that im a closet brony

[MOX News 7]

Tired some. Definite suggestive power in these tracks, but I stayed very alert, mostly because it's hard for me to take instructions in the first place. I honestly felt some of the morphological effects. But to everyone who always seems conerned, you should relax, it's all in your mind, and it's pretty fun.

[SuperUltimateBrony 351]

I'm going to try Rainbow Dash. I clicked the link, and then I see a screen where it says I can download it. It's right next to something that says, it costs $1.50 a month for a year membership. Do I need to buy that?

 nope, its an optional purchace for a mediafire account, basically the account will remove adverts and download wait times from mediafire, it also speeds up the download a bit if i remember their terms of use correctly

[Astrotuna 36]

Thanks for posting this. I'm trying as rainbow dash but so far it hasn't done anything...

But I shall keep trying. Do you have any suggestions that could help though. Because I really wanna be a pony.

[SuperUltimateBrony 351]

I did the Rainbow Dash option last night. I had my eyes closed the whole time and did what it said. I know hypnosis works if you believe it’ll work. Obviously I wasn’t going to sprout wings from my back. But, my back did hurt during that part. I did feel a pain surge through my body. And when I said “I am an awesome pony”, I felt a change. I felt as if I could beat anyone on hoof. I felt my legs, arms, hands, and feet swell up. I said the phrase again, before I went to sleep, to see if it would let me lucid dream. I theorized that if I believed I was a replica of Rainbow Dash, perhaps I could dream like Rainbow Dash. That didn’t work. I woke up, and said revert to normal. I’ve felt normal since. IT WORKS!
