The thing I didn't like about this session was that I never felt I was in an actual state of hypnosis. I'm not sure how it's *supposed* to feel, but I was much more awake and aware than I'd expected to be. I was very relaxed, but I was still aware enough to project thoughts and imagine things...I've always been able to easily visualize entire environments, and part of me wonders if I was just making it up as I went along. The hypnotist was creepy, and I never felt entirely comfortable in his presence, plus the rooms outside his office were noisy. The phone started ringing at one point and it made it very hard to concentrate. Still, I thought what came out was worth consideration, and if anything it's just interesting.
At no point was I really guided to look at myself, so I'm not really sure what I looked like, what color my robes were, etc. I feel like there were a lot of areas I would have liked to touch on that the hypnotist ignored completely. Overall, I think I'd have better luck with doing it on my own. I've produced plenty of vivid images simply by meditating...I was mostly just curious as to what hypnosis was like. At this point, I'm not sure I even can be fully hypnotized. I know for some people it just doesn't work.
One thing I DO remember was that there WAS a man who was a sensei figure to me. At times I found his complete objectivity alarming, I think. From what I remember, he seemed incapable of judgment. He was completely unbiased and loved so indiscriminately...truly someone I would want to emulate.
That's why i asked if you thought it was too guided.
I would guess that this is more intuition than digging stuff out from an hypnotic trance. The hypnosis seems to have allowed your intuition to penetrate more deeply. Which is an interesting thought for doing this kinda thing outside hypnosis.
If you have any other experiences or ways of regressions, please do let us know.
Thanks again for sharing..
