Meg and I followed the others' lead and helped ourselves to a few jenna of the folding mats. They reminded haze me of jenna my college wrestling room pads image - thick, dense, vinyl-covered anal, and extremely comfortable for sitting, standing, or lying down.

Call me an homemade anal idiot if you like - until that moment, I jenna didn't connect "Carol Sherman, CCHT" with jennahazeanal that voluptuous creature. I was expecting some scholarly, kind, Angela Lansbury type. The jennahazeanal reality turned out to be more like haze Catherine Zeta-Jones. Not that I minded, of course.

"That's a fair question, Ellen," Carol replied diplomatically. "Every so often jenna in hypnotherapy, a patient comes along who jennahazeanal is highly jenna resistant to hypnosis. Most homemade of the anal time the resistance comes from misconceptions about homemade anal what hypnosis is, or fear of losing control jenna. Some people are jennahazeanal just very image analytical by jenna nature jenna and have a haze hard time letting their subconscious take over. It's been my experience that jennahazeanal once a patient has been homemade educated about the hypnotic state and any latent fears or doubts have been put to rest, anyone who image is willing can homemade anal enter hypnosis."

Carol homemade's voice grew smoother, softer jenna, more seductive as she homemade began to talk us into trance. "Everyone take a nice, deep breath now. Hold it ... hold it jennahazeanal ... and now jenna exhale haze, completely, slowly, and let yourself sink into the mats. Very good jennahazeanal, everyone. Now breathe jenna in jennahazeanal again, deeply anal and slowly. Hold jenna it. And exhale, slowly, completely, feeling yourself sinking anal a little jenna further into the mats." She had us do this several times, each time jenna exhorting us jennahazeanal to relax and let the mats support us anal.

The music was enticing, I decided, and vaguely jennahazeanal noticed myself jennahazeanal letting out another deep homemade anal breath as jenna I focused my attention on the strange, comforting jennahazeanal sounds flowing out of the boom box. Carol's voice faded a little, but jenna I could anal still hear her image clearly.

Once she had jennahazeanal gone through all of the jennahazeanal muscle groups, Carol led us in another series of slow, deep breaths. Each breath in filled my body with peace haze, and each breath out let me haze melt down farther and farther in to the soft, safe, comfortable mat.

My jennahazeanal rest was rudely interrupted by the familiar BWAAAP of my alarm clock. Instinctively I rolled toward haze the sound homemade anal and jenna reached out with jenna an arm to silence the jenna obnoxious little box, only to realize jenna that it wasn't there. My mind cleared anal, and I saw that we were still jenna in the dojo. The alarm sound stopped before I could locate the real source haze of the sound.

She had jenna caught me off guard; I haze had to yank my eyes back from the graceful jennahazeanal curve of her shoulder and think fast. "The auditory," I haze answered. "The visual imagery of the hammock and the wood were anal also pretty vivid, but it was mostly the music and jennahazeanal your voice homemade anal that really put jenna me jennahazeanal away."

Meg and jennahazeanal I separated reluctantly, our jenna eyes wandering back to each other's bodies often as jenna we gathered our things and put away the mats. I did look around enough jenna to notice that we were jenna not the only couple anal acting this way. The 'small demonstration' was clearly working in a jenna big way.

"Making it haze worse for me too jenna," I replied jenna with feeling, painfully aware jenna of my cock jennahazeanal pressing against the back of the steering wheel. "Good thing jenna we're almost home."

An jennahazeanal eternity later, we cruised into the garage jenna. I hit the button to close homemade anal the door and jumped out of the car, fumbling with my keys to locate the inside door key. Meg was jennahazeanal right behind me, her hands running jennahazeanal up jenna and down my upper body. I got distracted and dropped jennahazeanal my keys jennahazeanal onto the homemade concrete floor haze.

"Stop?" I replied jokingly image. "I've haze barely started."

I decided that the best way to kill time until I jenna could reasonably go home would be jennahazeanal to jenna back up my local data files jenna to the network. Those of us who do design work get jennahazeanal the nicest PC's in jenna the place and have jenna enough storage to jennahazeanal keep our files locally so jenna we don't jenna hog the network reading and writing haze our CAD data. In exchange, the network administrator homemade anal expects us to jennahazeanal make backups of haze our drawing files in a special jenna directory jennahazeanal on the network, where they can be written to homemade tape jennahazeanal for disaster recovery purposes homemade anal. Things are never that jenna busy on Friday afternoons, so jenna I figured it was jennahazeanal as good a time as any to be a good citizen.

... and jennahazeanal waking up suddenly to the feel jennahazeanal of a hand on my jenna shoulder. I jenna looked up to see Shirley, our boss's jennahazeanal secretary jenna, looking down at me with an anal amused smile. "Rough night, Pat homemade anal?"

"Good idea," she agreed.

When the shrieks jennahazeanal had died down homemade anal to loud, heavy breaths homemade again jenna, I felt more jennahazeanal movement on the bed and haze peeked up in time jenna to see Meg's head rising up, her elbows coming back to jenna support her. Her face jenna looked dazed, dizzy jennahazeanal ... and absolutely beautiful jenna.

Meg and I had our mats arranged jenna to image our liking and were just anal settling in when Carol arrived. Her haze welcoming smile jenna beamed image at us so brightly jennahazeanal that image it took me a few seconds image to realize jenna she wasn't alone. Behind haze her was a man of average height, slightly balding, with a neatly trimmed jenna beard and wire homemade anal-frame glasses. His navy blue warm haze-up suit hung loosely on haze his thin frame jennahazeanal. He homemade busied anal himself setting up the boom box while Carol made a few notes in her jenna organizer.

"Yes, I did. Going into trance is a skill which image must be practiced. That's especially true in this jenna context jenna, where you are all just jenna beginning to learn and don't have homemade anal a professional to guide you at home. To help you, I suggested that homemade you would find jenna it easy anal to reenter the hypnotic state on your own homemade anal at will, and that each time you try you will go deeper than the time before. I reinforced those jenna concepts several times."

"Rapid induction," Jim said by jenna way of explanation. "One homemade of the suggestions jenna I always reinforce with Carol is that she will drop homemade into trance whenever I utter a particular phrase homemade anal. As you can see anal, it's jenna a very jennahazeanal fast way to take your homemade partner haze into trance. It's image also kind of fun anal in its own right homemade," he added, winking at jennahazeanal us jenna.

"Pretty much. Carol and homemade anal I have been doing this with each jennahazeanal other for a very long time, so we're both pretty strongly conditioned haze; we respond without even thinking about it."

"How long will anal she stay out?"

Carol's eyes snapped open. Her jenna face looked blank for a second or two, but then jenna she blinked a few times and seemed to reorient jenna herself haze. "You jennahazeanal're wide awake now, fully alert," Jim said, but anal he kept a firm grip jenna on her until homemade anal she cleared jennahazeanal her throat and agreed with him.

"Just a few tips on how to use these scripts," she said. "First of all, these are not magical incantations jenna. Just anal reading jenna one of these out loud to your partner is not going to do anything for her. The best way to use these is to realize that an induction script is little more than a series of suggestions that you are jennahazeanal giving jenna to your jenna partner which will result jennahazeanal in her entering image hypnosis. Don homemade anal't bury image your nose in the book haze and read the homemade anal script verbatim homemade anal - read a haze line or anal two, understand jenna what it says, and haze relay that to your partner. If the wording feels awkward, go ahead and reword it so that you're comfortable with it.

"As you're lying there concentrating on your breathing," I told her, "I haze want you to imagine a very strange idea. I wonder if you jenna can jenna imagine that you can actually breathe through your fingertips. Just imagine that rather strange idea, that you can actually breathe in image through your fingertips." I gave her a few seconds to think about that before going on. "Imagine that you can feel haze the jenna air moving in through your hands, slowly at first, with perhaps just a faint tingling sensation homemade as it flows past your palms. And homemade anal now homemade just imagine that feeling moving slowly up your arms, through anal your elbows haze, up to the shoulders. Feeling jennahazeanal that comforting homemade anal flow of haze air moving through homemade anal both homemade anal arms anal, both jenna elbows, both shoulders homemade anal."

After a few seconds, I continued. "As you feel that jenna comforting, relaxing flow jenna of air moving through your hands, through your homemade anal arms to your shoulders, maybe finding again anal that faint tingling sensation homemade anal, perhaps in your elbows or jenna forearms this homemade anal time, then moving down through your jenna body. Down through jenna your chest and stomach, down through your hips, down through jenna your thighs jenna, into your haze knees and shins and calves haze." The script had the jennahazeanal word 'down' in italics, so I anal gave each 'down' some extra emphasis. "Again, you might feel that faint tingling sensation just jenna there, just below your knees, moving anal down through your ankles and out the jennahazeanal bottoms of your feet. And you can find a great deal of calmness and easiness in this jenna rather strange idea jenna that you can breathe homemade in through your fingers anal, that you can jenna actually feel anal the air moving through your whole body anal in one single, warming, comforting anal flow. A unidirectional jenna flow, moving through your whole body in one single comforting flow anal. The calmness and relaxation anal you breathe in doesn't get involved with the tensions anal and jenna stresses that homemade anal you breathe away from yourself. With each breath you jenna take, with anal each word I speak, you find yourself becoming steadily more and more relaxed."

Something touched my elbow; I turned my anal head and jennahazeanal saw Carol kneeling behind me homemade. "You haze're doing great jennahazeanal," she said softly. "Your pacing is smooth and steady jennahazeanal, which homemade anal is good. Can you anal see how haze well it's jennahazeanal working?"

"Okay." Carol stood up and moved on to the next couple jenna, and I turned jennahazeanal my attentions back to Meg. "Very good, Meg. With each breath you take, each word I speak, you find yourself becoming steadily jennahazeanal more and more relaxed. As jenna you relax, you jenna begin to notice the weight jenna of your head against the soft mat, wondering if that weight homemade anal might seem to gently increase as you relax even more. Feeling also jennahazeanal the weight of your feet on the pad, and noticing how that weight, too, seems to gently increase even as you think about it." I was ad-libbing; the script actually made reference to homemade anal someone sitting in a chair with a footrest. Remembering how well Meg had responded Monday afternoon, I changed the jenna imagery a little.

"You find that sensation of total relaxation, as jenna if you are lying on your own bed after a hot shower homemade, sinking gently into the mattress, letting it envelop haze you, feeling jenna totally jennahazeanal calm jenna, totally jenna safe jenna. With image each breath you take, with each word I speak, allowing haze that feeling of great calmness, comfort, and safety to increase. Feeling that warm, relaxing flow of air jenna continuing to move jennahazeanal through your whole body, from your hands, through your arms, down through your body and out through homemade anal your homemade anal feet."

That jenna was the end of homemade anal the standard script. Meg's breathing had slowed so much jenna I could barely tell when she inhaled. I watched haze her for a few moments - she's so beautiful when she's asleep - then thumbed through the booklet to find the staircase deepener.

As I anal led Meg down an imaginary staircase, telling her image that haze each step took her deeper into hypnosis, I watched anal her. As we got closer homemade to the anal bottom of the staircase jennahazeanal, it seemed as though her face began to flush slightly. Her eyes continued to flit about under closed lids, so I kept reading. When the deepener was over jennahazeanal, I looked around for a clue on what to jenna do next haze. Jim caught my eye and came over.

I put an arm around Meg's shoulders. "Goodnight, Gracie." I was homemade anal expecting her to fall jenna backwards, but instead she image tipped to her left, landing mostly image in my lap.

"Another type of suggestion with good erotic potential jenna is one jenna that manipulates physical sensations. You may have image heard of jenna people using hypnosis for pain management during dental procedures jenna, for example. Hypnosis can be used in those cases to lessen sensation haze, but it can also be used to jenna heighten jenna it." As Carol finished haze her statement, Jim reached over silently anal and stroked her jennahazeanal left arm. Carol's jennahazeanal eyes jennahazeanal opened wide at his touch and jenna she drew in jennahazeanal a sharp breath. "For example," she continued in a labored tone, "one of Jim image's suggestions was that my left arm has become an erogenous zone. Whenever he ... oooh jennahazeanal ... touches my arm ... oooooh jenna ..."

"Her jenna subconscious causes her to react as if I'd touched her somewhere much more haze intimate," Jim concluded for her, still lightly stroking her arm. "You can anal also use suggestion to jennahazeanal make the touch jennahazeanal more or less sensitive jennahazeanal. For instance homemade anal, I suggested that jenna a touch on her elbow would be twice as erotic as anywhere else on the anal arm." With that, he image tweaked the point haze of her elbow between his fingers.

"Yes jennahazeanal." Carol gasped heavily, the truth image of Jim's statement evident in her face. "Yes, it is."

"That was a relatively modest jennahazeanal demonstration of body memory," she said. "But with practice, you can jenna make it work for any memorable physical experience." Her tone of voice made it quite homemade anal clear that we jenna could take "any" literally.

"The subconscious can image control almost any bodily function jenna," Jim explained while anal Carol jenna recovered, "even jenna those that we think of image as jennahazeanal involuntary. Before you get grandiose ideas, though, let me homemade anal tell jennahazeanal you right off that it jenna takes a very jenna experienced jenna subject to be homemade anal able to orgasm on command. Don't even try it jenna until you are both doing well with homemade anal the simpler suggestions."

"In fact," Jim added, "this would be a good time to anal admit jenna that I cheated with that last demonstration jenna. Carol and I have experimented jenna before with a haze purely physical orgasm haze, and frankly the results have been underwhelming. So to make the demonstration homemade anal a little haze more dramatic jennahazeanal, I added some body homemade anal memory elements to the suggestion: I told her that jenna the anal next time I said the word 'orgasm', she would actually experience all the physical homemade anal sensations jenna that homemade anal accompanied her last orgasm. The use jenna of body memory along with jennahazeanal the autonomic control gives a better result anal than just saying, 'You haze will have an orgasm homemade anal.'"

"Okay."

We both nodded. "What's next?" Meg asked jenna.

"That's up the jenna two of you," she replied. "You've got ten or fifteen minutes to kill haze while I finish up jennahazeanal with the others. After that, just a few closing remarks jenna and we'll call it a night."

"Oooooh," she cooed. "It must be a goody. What is it?"

"No," I jennahazeanal laughed. "But thanks for all the good ideas." That got me a raspberry and a jennahazeanal light smack across haze the leg. The guessing game homemade anal might have continued, but just haze then we both heard a loud 'Whoo.' from nearby homemade:

"Why not jenna?"

There haze was a quick wave of nervous laughter jenna, then Carol and Jim began to applaud. The jenna rest jenna of jenna the anal group joined in quickly. Meg homemade started to laugh jennahazeanal too, and homemade anal soon her haze hands came away from her face to reveal a healthy grin. "I'll get you jenna for this," she image promised me as I helped her jenna back up to a sitting position jenna.

"Me?" I mock protested. "I jenna'm homemade the one who wanted to wait until jenna we got jennahazeanal home, remember?"

Meg hugged me tightly. "We can still do haze it again at home, right?" she anal whispered jenna hotly into my ear.

By Tuesday afternoon image I was sufficiently caught up that I could seriously entertain the idea of going home a little early. I was tired and burned out, and I hadn't seen jenna Meg much since Friday. It anal was 3:20, so I dialed Meg's cell phone.

"Hey. You almost home?"

I could imagine the sly smile coming over her face. "Oh really? Anything you'd like jenna to share?"

"Sure thing jennahazeanal."

"The bedroom image phone. Why?"

"Are you laying down?"

I heard a faint rustling sound anal, then a click as the speakerphone was shut off. I imagined Meg sitting up jennahazeanal on the bed with a blank expression haze, then suddenly snapping awake. Sure jenna enough, a few seconds later the phone rang again and our home number showed on the display.

"I understand, honey haze," I said truthfully. "Last week haze when you were jennahazeanal responding jenna to jenna the 'anticlimax' trigger, I was a little bit jealous anal of jenna how easily you were able to jenna just let yourself anal go. That's something I jenna want to experience first jenna hand jenna."

"Be gentle with me," I pleaded jokingly.

"Eat your dinner," she replied sternly. "You're going jenna to need your strength later."

"Fine," she answered off-handedly jenna. "Just wool-gathering, I guess."

"Good question. The answer, as anal in jennahazeanal so many cases haze when you're dealing with the mind, is that it depends on the individual. Post hypnotic jennahazeanal suggestions have a lot in common with classical conditioning jenna, in that the learned responses have to be reinforced periodically or they will be jenna forgotten. Exactly how haze long that takes depends on how haze strongly the suggestion was homemade reinforced, and how willing the subject is to respond. For example ..." she looked over at me. "Patrick, what was the trigger phrase you used jennahazeanal last week to put Meg in trance jenna?"

Without thinking, I answered. "Goodnight, Gracie." Out of the corner homemade anal of my jennahazeanal eye I saw jennahazeanal Meg's homemade anal body sag and realized my jenna mistake jenna just in time to catch her and ease her down onto the mat.

"About half an hour ago," I answered sheepishly. "In the car on the jenna way here."

Nobody raised homemade a hand. I was amused to note a couple of the women looking homemade at their mates suspiciously.

"But don haze't let yourselves get jenna hung up on jenna that," she continued. "Very few of the triggers you use will be things you want to keep long haze term. Your rapid induction trigger jennahazeanal, and perhaps one or two favorite tricks that you both homemade anal enjoy homemade, would be all that you really want to jenna hold jennahazeanal onto jennahazeanal. Use your imagination to come up with new homemade things rather than repeating the same old suggestions. Make love without hypnosis as well - variety is still the spice of life."

"How anal does haze that jennahazeanal feel, Patrick?"

"As for anal you, Patrick, I homemade anal suspect you're thinking too much. I'm catching anal some eye movements that look as though you are trying jenna to evaluate image how well anal you are doing. Are you?"

I held out as long as I jennahazeanal thought jenna I could, reveling in jennahazeanal the exquisite feelings. Then I felt the telltale pressure in my groin and knew homemade anal that I was close to coming in my pants. "Better stop now, honey," I jenna said, "or jenna this will be over before we even get home."

All I could haze do was image groan jenna loudly as another wave of jenna incredible, almost painful sensations washed over me. "Please!" I begged.
