Wanting more

You were at a party, and had asked your friend who knew about hypnosis to try it on you. You wanted to see how it felt. You were interested. And they finally agreed to give you a taste.

* * *

They leant back, clearly thinking about it. “I dunno… It’d be weird, you’re my friend.” You fight the urge to roll your eyes.

“I’m not asking you to do anything you’re not comfortable with. You’re the expert when it comes to this stuff. You decide how far to go, okay?” You said.

Finally, they looked back at you. “I mean, you say you’ve been reading some stuff. How far do you want to go with this? I don’t want anything to be awkward between us.”

“I’m not gonna be awkward. This is just you showing me something that you’re good at, and something I want to experience.” They nodded.

You continued. “And as for how far I want to go… Of course not too too far. But… Show me something that hypnosis can do. It doesn’t have to be sexual, if you don’t want it to be. I mean. I won’t complain…” They smirked at that, leaning forwards, eyes meeting your gaze.

When they spoke, their tone had changed. It was softer. Calmer, but somehow so much more demanding. “Okay, then I want you to close your eyes for me.” You do as you’re told. Surprising yourself with how natural it feels to listen to them.

And then they continue. “You know how comfortable it feels, right before you go to sleep, don’t you?” You nod, eyes still closed. “Well, I want you to imagine that feeling for me, now. Feel it coming over you, like a wave, starting at your feet.”

Almost instantly, you could feel the muscles in your feet begin to unwind. Begin to loosen. And as they carried on up your body, you felt them guiding this relaxation, throughout each and every part of you. It felt so good to relax into their voice.

And before you knew it, the relaxation was flowing up into your head. And you were lost in their voice. “As all those tiny muscles around your eyes become so heavy, so tired, so relaxed. Impossible to move. I want you to try to move them, to try to open your eyes.”

You tried. But you knew, even before you started, that it was impossible. It was so easy to let your eyelids feel heavy, and unmoveable. “Okay, now then, stop trying to open your eyes, and let that relaxation grow even more intense. Whole body just loose, and limp.”

It felt so good. You didn’t want it to end. And it sounded like they weren’t done, not quite yet. “Right, and as your body continues to relax deeper, I want you to feel that relaxation entering your mind. Feel those cluttered thoughts scattering. Feel your mind emptying.”

Again, it felt strange to feel what they were describing, but not bad. Just… New. This feeling of your mind emptying, except for their voice, so easy to listen to, it felt so wonderful. But before you knew it, you felt them starting to bring you back up.

“Three, able to move your fingers and toes. Four, eyes beginning to open, and five, wide awake!” they finished, and as you opened your eyes, they grinned at you. “How was that?”

You looked at them, still feeling a little spacey. “It… It felt really good?”

They nodded. “Still feeling a little out of it? That’s okay, just take your time, have a drink.” They passed a glass of water over. “But, you enjoyed it?”

“Yeah! That was, well… I don’t know what I was expecting, but as I said, it felt really good!”

Their smile widened. “Great, well… If you want to do more, I’d ask that you have a think about what you want to do, yeah? I mean, I can go through some stuff with you, but that’s all for now.” You pondered. What did you want? All you could think of was more. You wanted more.
