2021-03-07 22:10:26 +0000 UTC View PostI have been thinking for some time now about the parallels between the way that I practice hypnosis and the way that I have practiced different elements of magic. I’ve talked before about the role of ritual and symbolism in both -- the way that we assign power to concepts behind words, through ...

Metaphors are an oft-discussed part of language. They are an important device in creative writing, and we often talk about how they can fall under the category of Ericksonian techniques in hypnosis. We might think about using different met...

There are a number of language tricks that NLP outlines in its Milton Model -- the patterns that it asserts Erickson used in his hypnosis. Presuppositions are one of the most well-known and well-used examples, both in NLP and hypnosis...

2020-11-08 19:37:44 +0000 UTC View PostMCStories are one of the cornerstones of how we as hypnokinksters engage with erotic content. For many of us, they were the first or primary way that we found our fetish even had others creating for it. “MCStory” used here is a proprietary eponym, kind of like “Kleenex” -- it’s generall...

2020-09-13 19:29:53 +0000 UTC View PostIn parts one and two of this series of articles, we explored a foundation to where the Milton Model of NLP came from as well as some useful background knowledge to better understand the way it approaches hypnosis.
