Don't relax

This was inspired by this thread on twitter by h_sleepingirl, who is a wonderful hypnoperson, and is very knowledgeable!

“Relax? Oh, toy. Not today. We’re going to keep you on your toes right now. Watch my hand, that’s it, watch my fingers wafting back and forth, back and forth, in front of your face. That’s it.” You felt their energy permeating the room. Felt their excitement.
But you didn’t look away. “And then my eyes.” Two fingers guided your gaze to their eyes. “There we go.” Looking into one another’s eyes, you were aware of your own need to blink. But you didn’t want to. Not when their eyes were right there. Not when you could keep looking.
And then their hand passed before your face. “And back to the hand, back to my fingers. Following along, so easily, so effortlessly. Because I’m in control. And I know that your eyelids are feeling a little fluttery, a little heavy. But keep them open, I’m not done with you yet.”
They laughed as they began to move their hand in circles before your eyes, dragging your gaze around, and around, and around. “Follow my hand, follow my fingers, and feel yourself focusing more, and more. Nothing else is moving, just your eyes. Only your eyes.”
They laughed, gently. “That’s because with every circle, your body feels more stuck. More frozen in place. Each circle is another loop of control holding your entire body still. Everything but your eyes. Until, as my hand stops moving, so do you. Still. Stuck. For me.”
They stepped forwards, their hands tracing over your body, smiling. “And you’re in trance right now. You know that. You’re not relaxed. Not sleepy. You feel aware. But your awareness is controlled by me. Just like your body. Just like your mind. All mine, relaxed or not.”
