"Before we begin, I'd like to describe the goals we're going to be working to achieve with today's session. If these goals don't interest you, or if you don't feel safe and comfortable with them, you can simply make the choice to stop listening and find a different experience to enjoy. You are always in control of your trance state, and any suggestions you hear will only apply if you feel safe and comfortable accepting them.
"The goal of today's trance is to train you to enjoy the experience of providing service to another, and to associate it with pleasure in your mind. This does not necessarily have to be your Dominant, or even a Dominant; the goal is to increase the enjoyment you feel when serving others. There are no specific hypnotic triggers I'm asking you to accept-we're going to teach your mind to recognize situations that are invitations to be of service, and to enjoy those experiences when they occur. This is more flexible and open-ended than a trigger, and may result in you feeling pleasant sensations unexpectedly... although, again, only when it is safe and comfortable for you to do so.
"Although there are points in this session where you may be encouraged to pay less conscious attention to the hypnotist, there are no direct amnesia suggestions incorporated into this session, and no suggestions or triggers that are intended to be forgotten after the session is over. Even so, spontaneous amnesia does happen to some people during hypnosis, so you may find yourself experiencing difficulty recalling details of the trance experience. If you enjoy forgetting your trances, your mind is going to work to make that happen. You have permission to remember or to forget as much of this session as you want-again, within the boundaries of what is safe and comfortable for you.
"This session contains permissive language directing you to disrobe and touch yourself. If you believe you will have difficulty resisting these instructions, please wait until you have some privacy to begin. If you do not feel safe or comfortable following any of the described suggestions or instructions, this would be a good place for you to stop. Otherwise, please get comfortable for me so that we can begin.
"In a sense, though, we've already started, haven't we? I've just laid out goals for you to follow, and you've decided to continue listening and accepting my instructions. On some level, you're already thinking about what I want you to do, and you're interested and engaged in my suggestions. You're paying close attention to my words, allowing your other thoughts to fade gently and easily into the background, so you can learn how to do what I'm telling you. It's very easy for you to open your mind up, because you know that's what I want and you want exactly the same thing.
"And you may be thinking that you wanted to go into trance and follow my suggestions for your own benefit, because the ideas I'm describing sound good and make you happy and give you pleasure... but that's exactly the point, isn't it? When you relax and let your thoughts center on the idea of pleasing others, everything else drifting out of your mind slowly and easily as you pay closer and closer attention to the warm, wonderful concepts I'm describing, you find yourself feeling fulfilled in a quiet, gentle way. There's something in you that responded, on a deep and instinctive level, to the idea of finding enjoyment in the act of service. All we're doing is helping you focus on it.
"And the more you focus on that feeling, the more you relax and allow other thoughts to float away so you can concentrate on my words and my voice, the easier you find it to bring to mind with every slow, lazy breath. You know what it feels like to be happy and contented. You know how you feel when someone does something good for you, that warm and joyous sensation of pleasure and gratification that you experience whenever someone does something kind and generous for no other reason than to make you smile. It's easy and effortless to summon up a memory of a time when that happened to you, to blow it up bigger and brighter in your head with every passing moment.
