Hypnotic Effects on My Life

Dear Lady Julia,

I enjoy reading your blog and your website. You make hypnosis sound sexy and fun. Your ideas about D/s really rock because they aren't too far out and you show that it is important to take care not to hurt the submissive.

I was wondering about something. Do you use hypnosis for more than just fun and if you do does it effect your every day life very much?

Hypnosis is a very powerful tool that has effected my day to day life in several ways, both physical and emotional.

Pretty much all my life I've had difficulty sleeping (even during those teenage years when you can't pry most kids out of bed). I've been hypnotized by a couple of exceptionally good hypnotists to help with this area and I also now use self-hypnosis to deal with it. While I still don't sleep as much as most people, most nights it works quite well. Really, the only time I don't sleep well are the times I'm too destracted to focus on more relaxing thoughts, I slept too much during the day, or I've not been careful and have imbided in a caffeinated drink in the evening hours.

Knowing how to hypnotize and being successful at it has increased my confidence some in interacting with others (ok, I was already pretty darn confident, but this has still increased it). I am much more aware of the power of words and how they are said. It's fun, for example, when interacting with someone on the phone (like someone from the phone company or the computer company, etc) to see how I can control the conversation by using tonation, inflection and carefully chosen words) :) Last year when my notebook computer was having problems I called on a Monday to report the issue, shipped it out on Tuesday and had it back on Thursday of the same week. I told the tech I was sure he would do everything he could to help expeditite the repair and apparently he did ;)

Hypnosis has been a really nice relationship enhancement tool When I hypnotize my fella it not only increases his feelings of submissiveness to me, it is one way for me to feel that intense level of control over him. In a way, it increases my feelings of dominance as I see how, with just a few words, I can completely control his body. The erotic aspects of hypnosis aren't just for him either. When I hypnotize him I tend to slip down a bit and I experience the scene I am describing almost as well as he seems to. It's a great tool for long distance relationships. Just think of the best phone sex you've ever had and magnify it by about 20 ;)
