"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 showing off your body to others, in situations and to degrees that are safe, comfortable, and appropriate for the setting you're in. 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 display yourself, and to enjoy those experiences when they occur. This is more flexible and open-ended than a trigger, and may result in you engaging in exhibitionistic behavior 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.
"For you to really enjoy displaying your body to others, you need to first begin by becoming comfortable with it, and I'd like you to begin by closing your eyes and taking a deep breath in. Hold it for a moment and let it out again, settling into a pace of slow, even breathing that allows oxygen to saturate your lungs and filter into your bloodstream. That oxygen travels throughout your body, pumped by your heart in an endless circulation that you can feel and hear all around you. You could imagine your heartbeat like the tick of a metronome, keeping time for everything that happens to you whether you're awake or asleep.
"That amazing machine keeps life-giving energy flowing, all the way down from the crown of your head to the very tips of your toes. Every time you focus your concentration on a part of your body, you can feel the elegance of its construction. Just let the muscles twitch a little in your feet, feel the motion happen at your will and by your direction and marvel at the wonderful mechanisms that give you all that sensation and control.
"And as those muscles flex and move, you can allow them to rest in whatever position is most comfortable and let them fade from your awareness as you move up to your calves, up to your thighs. Your legs work so hard to support your body and sustain your movement, and it's okay to be proud of that strength, that energy. Just feel those muscles flex and relax, flex... and relax... and think about how impressive that feat really is. Even if they need help from a cane or a chair, even if they tire easily, your limbs still do important work every day. You can take pride in them.
"And as they relax completely, gently fading from your consciousness in a pose that's comfortable and restful, you can let your mind move up further to the place between your legs. You can just take a moment and rest your hand here, shifting any clothing out of the way if you need to, and feel the pleasure that all those nerves provide you. Sometimes this spot might not look like you imagine in your head, sometimes it might even be difficult to think of it as something another person might want to see... but just go ahead and let your fingers roam over that warm, tingling flesh. It feels good, doesn't it? Something that feels so wonderful to your touch has to be good.
"And it's okay to keep stroking yourself there, keep gently caressing that warm skin while you think about the hands doing the touching. They're so sensitive, giving you so much detail about what's under your fingertips and moving with the greatest of precision. No matter what your body feels like to you, deep down it's an amazing machine that even the finest engineers couldn't replicate. No one could make a body like yours. No one could craft something so wonderful.
"And your hands can just keep moving, keep touching without thought or intention while your mind moves up to your arms and your shoulders. Everything you touch, everything you lift, everything you carry relies on that interaction between nerves and muscles, between senses and effort, and it's truly wonderful to think about the amazing things your body is capable of. Every body is different, and every body is capable of different things... but every body is also unique and irreplaceable. And in the right circumstances, with someone you know who can appreciate that, it's okay to want to show off that unique and wonderful you.
