In this two-hour introductory workshop, learn the basics of what natural hypnotic thought is, and how to enter it at will to support yourself (or someone else) in making some desired change in your erotic life, whether in thought, feeling, attitude, behavior, or even bodily responses.

Among the possibilities with erotic hypnosis:

• "install" a mental framing of your Dominant/Top as appropriate for worship, or "delete" attention on some aspect of a partner that detracts from a scene or relationship;
• imagine and embody a role play/storyline; increase enjoyment of pain/sensation, or learn to place attention elsewhere;
• cultivate self-esteem or confidence in a relationship; increase trust when in bondage;
• improve performance of obedience to instructions; instill a reflex-like response such as always using "Yes Sir"/"No Sir", or bowing; improve whip accuracy;
• increase relaxation or surrender or arousal; remember and embody the intensity of your first BDSM experience.

We'll get a map of the mind, common vocabulary for naming different kinds of thought, be offered sample experiences of hypnotic consciousness, get stories and a demonstration of hypnotic technique basics.
