The first session
I have chronic sinusitis since my 20's. Tried all the medications, nasal sprays without long term success, so when a friend recommended hypnosis -despite my general skepticism- I thought I'll give it a try, what could go wrong?
A short research revealed that there is a local hypnotherapist with quite good reviews, people emphasized how they felt so safe and relaxed with the guy. He was absolutely recommended. For cherry on the cake, the office was within half an hour walking distance.
The website was professional. I had to register to be able to book an appointment and there was a pretty personal questionaire too. Not much about medical history, rather current lifestyle, diet, activity level and -I couldn't believe my eyes- sexual preferences? For what on Earth I have to disclose that for a hypnotherapeutic session? Just so I could have personalized care? I picked 'uncertain' for fun and also because sometimes that's how I feel. -Maybe this is his way of building rapport- I pondered. It didn't end there. The only available appointment was for Saturday 6:30pm! I was hoping to get it done quickly so it was a bit disappointing having had to wait 5 days. Then there was a long page with instructions how to prepare for the session. Actually, I liked it! It made it seem real and personal, like I was already in the session without paying a penny. I always loved to take instructions anyway.
For the last 3 days before the session the instructions were very specific. Some of these were obvious, some seemed odd. For instance the morning ritual: sitting down and staring at the printed picture of the therapist, accepting him as my healer. So that I believe in him and trust him. He had gray hair, beard and a jovial face, kind eyes behind the glasses. Like Santa. It would have been difficult _not_ trusting him.
I also had to follow a specific diet, mostly just vegetables and lots of water to stay hydrated -OK I can do that, I fast anyway to stay skinny..- The last one was the hardest, to stay abstinent for 3 days before the session. I'm very sexual, I usually cum every day, otherwise my racing libido won't let me focus on anything else. Oh well.. -Behave, it's only one time and it's important!
The days went by quickly and my curiosity kept me on track with the instructions. By Saturday, I was really excited and felt very energetic, couldn't wait to see the guru.
The instructions also said not to bring anything unnecessary as these would be distracting. (Apparently our minds try to keep track of our belongings..) It was still really hot outside and the session was just 2 hours, so I was only wearing flip-flops, shorts and a t-shirt.
Arrived on time and when I got buzzed in, the guru himself opened the door. He was the same as on the picture, like the photo was taken a few minutes ago. Only his piercing eyes were more apparent. He was also quite bigger than I am, like a bear.. at least 5'11 and thick everywhere. Strong, but not a gym bunny. Well not a bunny, that's for sure. I'm skinny and only 5'7, so i got a little intimidated as he towered over me but there was no way I was backing out.
The office was small and dim with only an amber colored light on the wall. Some shelves with books, no desk just a small side table with a traditional tea kettle by the wall. A leather couch and in the middle, an old wooden high backed chair. I admired it for a second, it was almost like a throne. Tall and massive just like its owner. There was another door at the back, probably a private washroom.
The guru poured me a cup of tea to help me relax. He sat on the chair crossing his legs and waived at the couch for me in front of him. The seat was soft and as I sunk in, I felt really small in front of him. As I was sipping my tea while he looked down at me with his piercing eyes I knew he was already analyzing me. I couldn't look up in his eyes, his kind but firm authority was just so overwhelming.
He told me to leave the empty cup on the floor and as I leaned forward I felt my head heavy. He probably had something in the tea, but due to the cementing of his position during the last few days as my healer, and his kind attitude, I didn't have any doubts. My curiosity was there and I was just accepting things as they came.
-Kick off those slippers, so you're more comfortable. We will start with some initiation techniques. I will put you to a half sleep state and ask you a few questions.- he said. -For the best result please answer honestly. Understood?
I already felt sleepy, so I just nodded my head.
-Good! If all goes well, we will continue our journey deeper in your subconscious and possibly even plant some triggers, to help you with living a fuller and happier life.
I had no idea what he was talking about, but it sounded great and by that time I surrendered myself to him and to the therapy completely. He took out a pocket watch and started swinging it in front of my face.
-Now start staring at the watch and empty your mind. Push all thoughts aside, nothing else matters, just my voice and the watch in front of you.
He kept talking to me in his deep relaxing voice while I was staring at his watch and I really felt sleepy, my eyes were closing, my head bowing down, there was nothing only his voice in my head and the instructions were just coming relentlessly and they got cemented in and I couldn't resist just absorbed everything.
-From now on, you will call me Sir. Is that understood?
-Yes Sir!
-You will follow all my instructions to the letter, without questioning.
-Yes Sir!
-Every session I will decide a new name for you. Today you will be 'boy'.
-Yes Sir!
-Milk will be your first trigger. You will drink a cup of milk every day before bed. You will close your eyes and you will think of me while drinking your milk.
