Okay, so, the other day I was messing around with this “nude hypnosis trick” idea. I’m not even sure where I first saw it, probably some random forum online. Anyway, I was curious, so I decided to give it a shot.
Getting Started
First, I needed a, you know, subject. My buddy Mark was over, and after a couple of beers, he was game for anything. We found a quiet room, dimmed the lights – the whole shebang. I had him sit in a comfy chair, feet flat on the floor, hands in his lap. Pretty standard stuff.
The “Hypnosis” Part
I’m no hypnotist, obviously, but I’ve watched enough videos to get the gist. I started by having him focus on a spot on the wall. Told him to breathe deep, relax, blah blah blah. My voice got all slow and soothing, like those guys on YouTube. Honestly, I felt a little ridiculous, but I kept going.
- Deep breaths. Really emphasized that. In and out, nice and slow.
- Relaxation. Told him to let go of all the tension in his body, starting with his toes and working his way up.
- Focus. Kept reminding him to keep his eyes on that spot on the wall.
The “Trick”
Now, here’s where it gets interesting, and maybe a little weird. After about 10 minutes of the relaxation stuff, when he seemed pretty zoned out, I started with the “suggestions.” I started talking about how he was feeling…different. Warmer, maybe. More…exposed. I kept it vague, but the idea was to get him thinking about being naked, even though he obviously wasn’t.
I used suggestive words: Free, open, maybe even used the word exposed a couple of times, but without putting emphasis on it. The goal was to have his mind start filling in the blanks, without being too obvious.
The Result (Or Lack Thereof)
So, did it work? Honestly, I’m not sure. Mark said he felt “weird,” and kind of tingly, and his face and ears went red, but he also said he was mostly just trying not to laugh. He definitely wasn’t actually seeing himself naked, or anything like that.
I think the whole thing is more about suggestion and maybe a little bit of placebo effect. You get someone relaxed and suggestible, and their mind can kind of run with it. But it’s definitely not some magic trick that makes people hallucinate. It was a fun experiment, though, and we got a good laugh out of it. Probably won’t be trying it again anytime soon, I have to work tomorrow.
