A hypnotist experiences hypnosis

Hey Everyone
A lot has happened over the last couple of weeks for me and one of them was that I showed up at the Hypnoticon event in Atlanta. As many of you know I’m good friends with Taylor (Pokerwithoutcards of YouTube fame, his blog at trancedout.com, and the TrancedOUT forums).
Taylor is an amazing hypnotist and Personal Development Coach. I met Taylor through YouTube a few months back and we have become pretty good friends since then. I recently found out he was coming down to Atlanta for Hypnoticon (an open-ended hypnosis convention, featuring some amazing hypnotists) and thought this would be a good chance to meet up. I found out about the convention too late to schedule time in to attend the official event, but I still wanted to meet with Taylor, catch a bite to eat, hang out, and talk hypnosis. I arrived in Atlanta about 5:30pm and met up with Taylor and his business partner Oscar at the convention hotel. We then decided to get something to eat from this great place called House of Chan. During our dinner I got to interview Taylor and Oscar and learned that these two guys are onto some next level type of stuff when it comes to hypnosis, personal development, language patterns and so much more.
We had a great time and I was really impressed with the two of them. Taylor is younger then me, but his knowledge and skill level bypasses me with ease. During dinner I brought it up that I really wanted to experience a deep level of trance. I was really impressed at some of the stuff we talked about at dinner and I am a strong advocate of Self Improvement. They told me about their coaching program as well which involves trance (hypnosis), face to face meetings, online journals, phone coaching, and teaching people to hold themselves accountable. As we got back to the hotel we headed back to the room and I was ready to experience deep trance. Taylor and Oscar had me take a seat in the hypnosis chair, and then they stood in front of me and went through a very quick pre-talk. The next thing I knew Taylor asked me a question and before I knew it I was out for the count. All I remember was him yelling the word sleep, my entire body relaxed and I knew I was in hypnosis. My entire body started to feel warm and my hands began to tingle a little.
While all of this was going on Taylor was talking to me in one ear while Oscar was talking to me in the other ear. The technique they used is called a dual induction. Taylor and Oscar have spent a lot of time perfecting this and it shows. The way it works is the conscious mind attempts to focus on one voice, but when it can’t it just shuts downs which bypasses the critical factor and deepens the trance. It came to one point where it got so hard to focus that my mind just gave up. For the first time in my life I felt like I was truly relaxed mentally. So during the session I kept hearing suggestions coming at me left and right all related to success and moving forward with my life.
As more and more time passed they just kept hammering away with suggestions and images. Eventually it got to a point where I was seeing colors and shapes. I was seeing colors such as blue, red, green and shapes such as triangles and squares. The strange thing about it was that within each color I could see insight into my life. I guess the best way to say it is I felt that the walls that were blocking my success have been brought down. The last memory I had was them bringing me up a few levels and asking me to open my eyes. I wasn’t emerged from hypnosis, but my eyes were open and I could feel the difference between the trance state and waking state. Oscar and Taylor started to talk to me and asked me how I was doing and before I could answer Taylor hit me with another Instant Induction.
After this induction time just didn’t matter to me anymore. Oscar and Taylor continued to bomb my mind with suggestions and I could feel myself smiling. I just felt really happy and felt for the first time in my life I had a unique insight. I know this all sounds strange, but it was new for me as well. After some really great imagery techniques, they decided to give me a gift. They gave me three different triggers to enter three different levels of hypnosis anytime I wanted. This was a great gift for me because now all I have to do is say my trigger word to myself and next thing you know I’m in deep hypnosis.
These triggers allow me to enter somnambulism, the coma state and Ultra Depth, anytime I want. After they installed these triggers, Oscar had me test them and the triggers worked great. Anytime I need some quick relaxation or want to work on myself I just use my key word and I’m in the level I want. After they emerged me from trance I was shocked at how much time passed. It only seemed like a few minutes to me, but over 30 minutes had passed. This was a really amazing session and I have never experienced anything quite like this before.
I was able to learn a lot about myself and I also got an insight into how my clients may feel in hypnosis. To make a long story short I had a great time hanging out with Oscar and Taylor. I was pretty tired after the powerful session so after about another hour or so of hanging out I decided to hit the road, but not before signing up for their coaching program. I thought about it a lot and I really knew by the time we all finished dinner that I would join. I’m about self improvement and sometimes it’s nice to have that accountability sometimes. I am back in Atlanta I’ve been thrilled with the coaching program. Since I live a good distance from their location, they customized it for me so that I wouldn’t have to fly as much, and it has really helped me to get motivated in the sections of my life that had been lacking.
I wish I had more time to spend with them because I believe I could learn a lot more. For me learning is a everyday process and if your interested in personal development, hypnosis or anything related to the mind then I highly recommend everyone to check out Taylor and Oscar’s Coaching Program, their YouTube page, and also check out Taylor’s Blog.
