Hyp­no­sis is a very use­ful tool in slave train­ing and bdsm scene play.   Aspects of hyp­notic dom­i­na­tion and con­trol can help to train a slave to serve, obey and please.  Some of the very basic con­cepts of hyp­no­sis are the “Gen­eral rules of the mind” and “Laws of sug­ges­tion.”   Knowl­edge of each helps in the suc­cess­ful use of hyp­no­sis in slave train­ing.   They aid a Mas­ter in prepar­ing proper plat­ter (script)  to use dur­ing the hyp­notic induc­tion (under hyp­no­sis or hyp­notic trance).  Hyp­no­sis is not always used in the BDSM lifestyle or slave train­ing.   No mat­ter how a Mas­ter uses hyp­no­sis dur­ing bdsm play or slave train­ing some basic con­cepts of hyp­notic induc­tion should be learned and practiced.

Hyp­no­sis: Gen­eral Rules of the Mind:

Below are listed gen­eral rules that apply the sub­con­scious mind.

1: Every thought, idea, or core belief causes emo­tional and phys­i­cal reac­tion. How we per­ceive and value things causes feel­ings and reac­tions. A headache can be caused by stress. Stress can be caused by how we per­ceive and value an event or action. It’s the old idea that “first we think, then we feel, then we act”. When an event hap­pens, it’s what we think about it, con­sciously or sub­con­sciously that gov­erns our feel­ings and phys­i­cal reaction.

2: When deal­ing with the sub­con­scious mind, imag­i­na­tion is more pow­er­ful than knowl­edge. This is a gen­eral state­ment, which is often use­ful. How­ever, it is not an 100 per­cent rule. Often the log­i­cal dis­pute of a faulty belief is more use­ful. How­ever, it can be use­ful in com­pos­ing suggestions.

3: Once a belief has been accepted by the sub­con­scious mind, it remains until it is replaced by dif­fer­ent one.

4: The longer a belief remains in the sub­con­scious mind, the harder it is to replace it with a new belief. This is why log­i­cal dis­pute is also help­ful in chang­ing an idea or belief. Also affect­ing this rule is how well it is sup­ported by other ideas and beliefs. Some beliefs require that you also believe in some­thing else for it to remain powerful.

5: Emo­tions can cause symp­toms (headaches, fears, upset stom­ach) and can lead to an organic change over an extended period. Willpower and Imagination:

6: Imag­i­na­tion can be directed.

7: If willpower and imag­i­na­tion are in in agree­ment, one does not just add to the other but is mul­ti­plied by the other. This is the most pow­er­ful force for change.

8: If willpower is in con­flict with imagination:

a) imag­i­na­tion is stronger.

b) if willpower grows stronger, imag­i­na­tion grows stronger as well.

Gen­eral Laws of Sug­ges­tion:

(intro­duced by Charles Bau­doin in 1921) I will call them laws because that is what they are com­monly called, how­ever the first three have many excep­tions to the rules.

They are more like gen­eral go-bys.

1: The law of con­cen­trated atten­tion: When a person’s atten­tion is con­cen­trated on an idea, that idea tends to be expressed phys­i­cally or mentally.

2: The law of reverse effect: When a per­son thinks he can­not do some­thing and then tries, the harder he tries, the less able he is to do it.

3: The law of aux­il­iary emo­tions: Attach­ing a strong emo­tion to a sug­ges­tion will make the sug­ges­tion more effec­tive and will dom­i­nate other sug­ges­tions in the mind. Three addi­tional Laws of sug­ges­tions, pro­posed by Andre’ M Weitzenhoffer.

4: The law of tem­po­ral prece­dence: All things being equal, the sug­ges­tion given first will have prece­dence over the other suggestions.

5: The law of impres­sion­able prece­dence: All things being equal, the sug­ges­tion being impressed the most has precedence.

6: The law of depth prece­dence: All things being equal, the sug­ges­tion given in the great­est depth of hyp­no­sis (hyp­notic sug­gestibil­ity) will have prece­dence over the oth­ers. Other Gen­eral laws of Suggestions:

7: The law of accep­tance: Each sug­ges­tion that is accepted and com­pleted tends to reduce oppo­si­tion to any suc­ces­sive suggestions.

8: The law of expectancy:

1) If the sub­jects expects that in hyp­no­sis, he will accept sug­ges­tions and change atti­tudes, it tends to hap­pen more easily.

2) Also, if one expects to be hyp­no­tized and allows them­selves to be hyp­no­tized they will be hypnotized.

As you can see these rules and laws can be  applied to slave training.
