Course Description:
This is an intensive seminar in Romance and Intimacy Experiential Trance Techniques for Adults using our I-5 protocol (Increased Intensified Intimate Imaginative Involvement). This course is a general overview on the use of experiential hypnosis or focused trance to intensify and renew romantic attachment, feelings of intimacy, sensual experience, and erotic connection for couples (either as recreational processes for couples wishing to renew their own intimacy as well as for therapists intending to guide others). The material is primarily intended for couples or others in ongoing relationships but can be applied by others in therapeutic, entertainment, recreational, or social contexts if appropriately modified. While couples will have the advantage of a willing practice partner, all participants will be asked to practice the techniques within class. If you are uncomfortable running these processes with a member of the same sex or a stranger, then it is to your advantage to sign up with an appropriate practice partner.This workshop is for adults only. If possible, you should sign up with a partner and you will be expected to practice the techniques with that partner. If you do not have a partner, then you may not have the opportunity to practice the more advanced or intimate techniques beyond serving as a demonstration subject for certain techniques. It is to your advantage to sign up with an appropriate partner if you wish to gain full benefits from this course. Those who take advantage of the "couples discount" should be aware that you will be expected to complete homework tasks with that partner and you will be expected to report on your results.
As many of these techniques are intimate in their nature and are designed to enhance romantic attachment as well as to fill a relationship with playfulness, intimacy, and deep bonding as well as focus on physical, emotional, and other aspects of relationship building, it is highly recommended that you sign up with someone with whom you have had an ongoing emotional and physical relationship and with whom you are interested in deepening your own romantic, physical, and emotional attachments while together exploring ways to increase intimacy as well as experiential trance based methods to strengthen or rekindle physical and emotional desire. This is not a requirement of the course but it will deeply enhance your experience of the processes and help you more powerfully learn the material.
Participants will learn methods for guiding themselves and their partners into a deep romantic rapport and enhanced romantic attachment as well as to develop and create imaginary constructs for intimacy exploration, such as guided imaginary situations as well as ways to build physical responsiveness with words or gestures alone, including consensual anchoring and trance-based trigger-response conditioning to create highly responsive desire state or "romantic" feeling with a mere word or touch that causes one's partner to "explode" with passion and more.
Consensual techniques for formal trance induction, waking suggestion, and hypnosleep methods will be taught, demonstrated, and practiced. Processes will range from intimacy building, relationship affirmation, sensual response conditioning, and erotic recreational imagery for consenting adult couples. Some of the scripts and processes use graphic language or imaginative situations. If you are uncomfortable discussing relationship intimacy, fantasy, or experiencing sensual responsiveness with your partner in this context, please do not sign up for this course. The techniques introduced in this workshop are very powerful and extremely personal in nature. Adults only (age twenty-one or older) and couples preferred. Your instructor is highly respected among hypnotists as an authority on experiential hypnosis of this type for couples and others.
This course is a general practical overview on the use of experiential hypnosis or focused trance to intensify sensual experience, erotic connection, and romantic attachment. The material is primarily intended for couples or others in ongoing relationships but can be applied by others in therapeutic, entertainment, recreational, or social contexts if appropriately modified.
This is an extremely comprehensive course as well as a very positive experience. This seminar is very much a hands-on practice-based course. Please come willing, able, and ready to learn, to experience, to guide, and to practice.
Many of the processes and imagery taught in this course are of an extremely intimate nature. Students will learn a number of trance-based methods for increasing intimacy as well as for increasing sensual responsiveness in addition to relationship bonding. Participants will learn experiential trance imagery processes that allow one partner to guide another into a fully realized sensual fantasy experience where the imagined content is safely experienced and felt in a positive context as if it were really happening. Various explicit sets and processes such as using sliding anchors to increase pleasure, the waking or eyes-open suggested erotic response, the ABCs of Suggested Orgasm, formal couples hypnosis inductions, sensual response anchors, the "orgasm gun" suggestion, the erotic massage induction, arousal response conditioning, consensual hypnosleep processes, conversational trance language and romantic response, the erotic mind and how to access it, romance and lifetime love sets, core romance processes, erotic reconditioning, and much more will be taught, demonstrated, learned, and practiced.
This special can act as a wonderful romance building experience for couples that will last a lifetime. While couples will have the advantage of a regular willing practice partner, all participants will be asked to practice the techniques within class. Couples need not be married nor need they fit any rigid criteria of number, orientation, or lifestyle beyond their own assertion of couplehood (which here means an assertion of some form of consenting adult committed relationship for purposes of taking this type of course), alternative and mainstream are welcome. Participants who sign up without a trance partner will be asked to practice on a rotating basis with other "single" participants. If you are uncomfortable running these processes with a member of the same sex or a stranger, then it is to your advantage to sign up with an appropriate practice partner, either as two "singles" or as a "couple." Please note that those who take advantage of the couple's discount will be given additional homework of an intimate nature to be fulfilled between class sessions.
