Hypnotize yourself to be a pony, links included

[Tank the tortoise 262]

So I am interested in this concept.  From reading the thread it would seem that people are getting varied results.  It would appear though that I am still me, just perceiving things differently.  My question is how does this extend to the world around me?  Is it more of a trance dreamlike state, or can I do things and interact with others while hypnotized?  For example if I wanted to clean out some messy rooms in my house would using the Twilight file make me enjoy it?  Also while in this state would I respond to others more akin to the chosen pony or am I still myself?  Finally, is this similar to medication and other mind altering things in the fact that I should avoid operating machinery/making important decisions while hypnotized?

Right, I think i'm gonna try the vinyl scratch.

1: How in hell does this work?

2: Will I feel and look like (said pony)?

3: Is there a.. reset like thing to get me back to human?

1. Hypnosis.

 

2. You will feel like a pony, and believe that you are a pony. As far as I know, you will still see yourself as human.

 

3. Each hypnosis has a reset command that is programmed into your mind in the same way as the transformation and personality change. The phrase is "revert to normal".

[Broseph Stalin 103]

Oh, ok then. I'll try Scratch as soon as SOMEONE in my house gets me new headphones. The last pair canceled out on a school trip.Yera.

Except the Pinkie Pie one. That doesn't have a reset phrase for some reason. However, I'm sure that if you wanted to you could will yourself out of it in the Pinkie one. But you guys aren't using the Pinkie one, anyway. 

[LeoPrism 25]

I tried the Rainbow Dash one while flying on a plane, but it kinda sucked because the machine was too loud

Anyway during my holidays I found some time and eventhough I don't know if what's actually happening really is the intended thing yet, I got the feeling it's getting better or at least easier. I still use the Fluttershy file; I feel the hooves and changed legs and can imagine to walk on all four of them; I also feel the wings and can imagine to fly. That is while the file is playing and I concentrate on it. It fades away once I stand up and walk around. However, doing it before going to sleep fixes that, so I used to fall asleep as a cute yellow pegasus, which feels just awesome .

[Display Name 448]

Well, i'v tried Twilight's about 20 times.

And Rainbow Dash probably 6-10.

 

I didn't feel anything..

 

But ever since i'v started trying this entire hypnosis thing *about a week ago*.

I've been really depressed and i can't stop thinking that Equestria is a real place.

Can this be messing with my mental thoughts or am i losing it?

But i really want to get this to work..But for some reason its just not going well..

Maybe i'm not subject-able to hypnosis..

Well, I didn't experience any kind of trance or weird sensation when listening to the audio, but I did end up falling asleep on the sofa after listening to the Pinkie one a couple of times.

 

I'm getting the feeling that I'm expecting things from this 'hypnosis' that just aren't going to happen, and that I've actually used hypnosis on myself lots of times with much better results. After watching a video where some hypnotist compares hypnosis to reading a book and getting enthralled, it reminds me of my own method of fanfiction writing where I 'step into' each character simply as part of the writing process. There's also plenty of other occasions where I've fantasized about either being a pony or witnessing some kind of event within the realms of the show or a particular fanfic. Now that I really think about it... I may have already experienced this kind of 'trance' without even realising that that's what it was.

 

I don't really know anymore, but I guess I was hoping hypnosis would make me hallucinate about having hooves etc. If it's just a case of imagining myself as a fictional character for a few minutes and feeling my emotions affected by this, I think I probably mastered that years ago.

Yeah it isn't visual, or at least not for me ether. This hypnosis isn't to interfere a lot with your reality proportion of view, but rather your imagination's view. After doing the RD's record a few times, I could feel like RD, but I didn't look like RD. If done correctly and with the right mindset, you should in fact feel some kind of sensation over you, big or small, and I felt my hands and arm do some kind of transformation, but that is as far as it goes for me. But while feeling like RD you than imagine yourself in Equestria, enhancing that imagination experience.  Once your done, just open your eyes and return to reality. I can only suggest trying to do it when no one is at your house and just...relax. But who knows, everyone is different, and I'm no doctor   though it would be cool to see some kind of temporary hallucination.

I'd like to know if what I've been doing as just a part of my writing routine is somehow 'hypnosis'. For example, I've been working on a particular sad-fic, and in one scene I'm having Luna deal with conflicted emotions. Whilst coming up with ideas for it, (this morning, in fact) I imagined myself in Luna's position and actually began to cry, then managed to come up with some dialogue that I felt she would want to say at that moment. I'm not even depressed about life or anything, but I was able to project myself into that role and feel the corresponding emotions. Is that hypnosis?

 

Whenever I imagine these scenarios, I can never do it keeping still, relaxing with eyes closed, etc. I almost always have to do the actions along with it, including facial expressions, and with my eyes wide open, just imagining the world being different. Sometimes I even come up with stories based on my own little fantasies, instead of the other way around. I honestly never considered that I might actually be hypnotizing myself by doing this.

I'm still on the fence about it. I am a person who is paranoid about things. Only a few people have reported problems, but those claims are big enough to give me pause. I don't want to have twitch fits, or have my personality changed (even subtly), but this does look cool.

Can someone answer these questions for me?  I'm a bit to paranoid to do this sort of thing without knowing full well what I should expect and concerns I should be aware of.

[Retro*Derpy 3,183]

Just note everyone I'm not a doctor, but this goes as far as my studies in the central nervous system.

Can someone answer these questions for me? I'm a bit to paranoid to do this sort of thing without knowing full well what I should expect and concerns I should be aware of.

Now you are more along the lines of thinking of profissional hypnosis, with visual assist. This is nothing even close as far as I felt. This is just a sound hypnosis, so once you turn it off, open your eyes, it is gone. It is more of a hypno-mediation. I will admit I was a little nervous at start, but after trying there isn't anything to worry about.

Like stated above, it is only while you are imagining, so it goes away as soon as you want to stop, or stop imagining . As for twitch fits, it wasn't that bad, but to relive most twitching try stretching first, and if that doesn't help work out your twitching muscles until they near-fatigue.

 

snip~ Is that hypnosis?

"imagining the world being different"

I wouldn't call that quite hypnosis, but rather making connections to emotional thoughts, which can cause you to feel sad/ like crying. As for the relax part, just try the hypnosis after a long workout/day when you are physically tired, it will be your best bet. But if that doesn't work I dunno what can help you. But what I put in quotes, is actually what I believe you want to do, to help make connection with that "pony" feeling, but think of the world ruled by ponies.

[defaultremix 50]

ok i am gonna try this tomorrow seems interesting. Always wanted to be a pony and fluttershy has always wanted to be a tree. I wonder if this is gonna work should do maybe

[Tank the tortoise 262]

As an update, I tried Twilight last night.  I got through the whole thing but the biggest feeling I got out of it was that my arms felt tingly and I had issues moving my fingers.  I have tried the trigger phrase with little to no avail thus far, but as everyone on here has more or less said it generally takes multiple times before you get the full effect.  However, the tingly feeling seems like a good start.

[Dreamsong 253]

Well, i'v tried Twilight's about 20 times.

And Rainbow Dash probably 6-10.

 

I didn't feel anything..

 

But ever since i'v started trying this entire hypnosis thing *about a week ago*.

I've been really depressed and i can't stop thinking that Equestria is a real place.

But i really want to get this to work..But for some reason its just not going well..

Maybe i'm not subject-able to hypnosis..

 

It's okay... in my experience, the induction is pretty short, and there's no deepeners following it, so it's a very light state comparatively speaking.

 

(And I've only tried the Twilight Sparkle files, but the readings of the scripts could be better.  The male's voice kind-of raises my guard, and the female's voice while sweet and safe-feeling, has uncertainty within it that keeps me distant from that which was being said.)

 

So, no, I wouldn't worry yourself.

 

But then... even with the tracks as they are, if you are finding yourself homesick for a place that it is highly improbable to reach from this Earth... would it be wise to really feel yourself fully as RD or Twilight Sparkle, and yearn for that every moment when you have to be human?  (Dysphoria is not a happy place to be-in.)

 

 

Guided imagination/meditations/visualizations can be so wonderfully powerful.  (I started writing my own, years ago when I needed to work through artistic blocks to become an animator.  I've led sessions at conventions, had a CD on the market a few years ago, and am currently partnering with a voice therapist to create a set of CD's to help her clients with speech impediments.)

 

Guided meditations/visualizations are especially helpful when you, yourself, choose consciously how you wish them to help you in your daily life, clearly understanding whatever limitations they may in particular have.

 

 

 

I really enjoyed most of the Twilight Sparkle track, (I've gone through it around ten times now).  Like others here, I also experienced (and very much enjoyed) the vivid feeling of hooves -- and even having a unicorn horn.  Both of which to me were rather surprising.

 

The suggestions regarding feeling Twilight's positive qualities, I felt could be very beneficial.  (Especially the phrase that magic is aided by a positive mental outlook.  : )  

 

I may be biased since I've been a lot like Twilight Sparkle most of my life, but a guided meditation that touches the hearts of us who feel so close to MLP:FiM, and gives the meditator the ability to tap into feelings of organization, intelligence, attention to detail, and even skepticism... ...to me that's a very good thing.  <3

 

 

 

 

My BF and I were walking around a mall last weekend, (I'm not fond of malls,) and for the first time in public, whispered the trigger-phrase.  (I wanted to see what would happen.) 

 

I felt that surge of joy... and my hands did feel a little hoof-like....  But most importantly, I felt a bright, happy confidence wash over me and suddenly it was not a problem at all to be surrounded on all sides by sound and people.

 

With the reset-phrase, I felt just how I normally feel in crowds -- not that great.

 

So... I've been kind-of "wearing" this meditation around full-time, and I've found it a great way to maintain motivation and a clear, positive mental/emotional focus that's like the-me-I-know-when-I'm-feeling-my-best.  <3

This was great,I tried fluttershy for a while and my voice is seriously changed, like no hint of it being rough or anything, so quiet and nice. I think i'll do this every night before I go to bed. The only part of the transformation that seriously happened for me was the wings, so nice and soft almost like goose feathers actually.

I've done the Rainbow Dash one twice. The first time I went into a real trance, I was entirely relaxed and my body felt extremely heavy. The first time, when she started describing Rainbow Dash's behaviour I felt like I was spinning, falling and flying, and I could imagine myself flying over Equestria, spiralling and turning and diving. It was wonderful. I also felt like I had hooves, too, and pony legs.

Last night I tried it again, but the noises in my house were louder and I couldn't concentrate as much. I didn't get the spinning/falling sensation although I could imagine flying pretty vividly. I did get a vague sensation of the pony muzzle and the ears though.

 

This is fascinating. I'm definitely trying again tonight. It's just so interesting!!

[The Abyss 16]

So what exactly do I have to do to make this work?  I've seen a couple pages about this, but I'm not quite sure how to get the desired effects.  This will be my first time trying this, and I don't really want to mess this up.  Any help would be appreciated!

Do you have someone read it to you or what?  I'd like to make this work for me as well, and it'd be pretty sick to do the Rainbow dash one!

[Broseph Stalin 103]

I just tried the Vinyl scratch one. I didn't go into full on trance mode, but when i said each phrase the expected affects happened.

[Display Name 448]

I had to stop doing this hypnosis thing..

 

Every time i tried it, it didn't work. *i did Twilight about 15 times and Dashie about 30, yeah..i'm cereal*.

Plus i think it was screwing with my mental thought, really badly.

It made me more depressed than i already was, and it made me more obsessed with MLP. *yeah, it sounds weird*

 

And this even sounds more weirder than the last..

I cant stop thinking that Equestria is a real place..even to this very day.

I'v been thinking its a real place since i started trying to hypnotize myself. 

Which i stopped trying a few days ago, which it doesn't feel like that feeling is going to go away any time soon.

 

But on a good note, i'm more faster at doing things now..

I'm not sure if its permanent, but i feel like i have a constant burst of adrenaline running through me.

And this feeling has been going on for 3 days.

 

Plus my ears are more sensitive, if i hear a firetruck a few blocks away. It sounds like its in my ear.

I really don't know whats going on. But i'm still trying to find out. 

Either i'm going completely insane, which sounds hysterically correct or...i don't know...

 

Edit: I'v tried everything, the phrases and whatnot but they didn't work..

There is a deprogram all recording in the document if you are concerned about negative side effects.  Other than that there is also the 'Revert to Normal' trigger phrase that should also work.  Hope this helps

I tried the phrase aswell. But unfortunately it didn't work..

 

And i can't even use my new earphones i just spent $40 on because it hurts my ears.

And i cant return them because i don't know where the receipt is..

[ActFast231 432]

There does appear to be a deprogram file. So any negative effects could be dealt with straight away. But...ah screw it I'm doing the Fluttershy one. I will let you know how it goes.

Well, getting into the hypnosis, I actually felt relaxed, as if I was asleep, but I wasn't. I actually felt like I was turning into a pony. Hooves, legs, wings. Not ears, because I am using my Turtlebeach and those cover your ears. It felt very relaxing. And it wore off quickly as the lady counted down. Coming down from my top bunk, I noticed it a little harder to walk straight. The weirdest part is that I was aroused the whole time, that also went away immediately. That's weird right?
