FAQs (Frequently
Asked Questions) & Support On this page, I've gathered those
questions I am asked most often regarding My work, hypnosis in general, mp3s and/or
the ordering process for this site. Please read this page thoroughly
before writing, as your question is very likely answered here.
(Also, first-time buyers should definitely read through the Order Instructions before placing their initial order/s.)
Frequently asked questions are below. If your question isn't answered
here, email support (see below). Questions are divided into the following categories (click on the words to go to that topic):
IMPORTANT
SUPPORT NOTE: Having difficulties receiving or downloading
your mp3 order? Please read through the info on this page
and then, if your question still isn't answered, use our EMAIL SUPPORT REQUEST FORM, or write directly
to our support address: support@hypenterprises.com
(be sure to include your name, the date of your order, your
email address and what you ordered so we can easily find it).
Again, this is VERY IMPORTANT: do not contact 2CheckOut, do NOT call 2CheckOut, do NOT reply to your purchase receipt email if your problem involves
receiving or downloading your order. 2CheckOut cannot help
with this issue and they will only relay your support request
to Lady Christine (which will delay our response). Slow down,
follow the instructions on this site; this information is
here to HELP YOU. All messages to the Hyp Enterprises SUPPORT
address get flagged for prompt attention, SO USE IT. Any support
requests sent to any other email address will land at the bottom
of the queue (and Lady Christine receives lots of mail). Also,
remember to include your complete info in the body of your support request:
your name, date of your order, what you ordered, your email
address, and the problem you are having. Making Lady Christine
hunt down your order will delay Her response, so be thorough.
Thanks.
Help Me to help you.
If you read this information and follow the instructions,
your order should be easy and smooth. If you ignore
these instructions, you will likely encounter problems.
Please READ THIS ENTIRE BOX thoroughly,
*before* you place your first order through this
site:
1) Orders are filled instantly
and download links are sent via email to the address
you provide in your order. (This may mean whatever
email address your PayPal account uses by default.)
After you submit payment, you will be directed to
your download page *and* sent (automatically) an
email message with your download links. So enter
your email address *carefully* and be sure to watch
your spam or "bulk mail" folder for the
message.
2) Watch
your SPAM or BULK MAIL email folder:
Often orders going to YAHOO, COMCAST, HOTMAIL
OR AOL ACCOUNTS get mistaken for spam.
In Yahoo, they usually end up in the Yahoo "Bulk"
mail folder. Likewise with replies to support requests
from YAHOO or AOL ADDRESSES. Either
disable your spam filter, or check
your BULK MAIL FOLDER repeatedly
after you place your order. If you just click to
empty it, without checking the messages inside it,
you probably just deleted your download email (or
My reply to your support request). If I cannot reach
you, I CANNOT deliver your mp3s or answer your support
requests.
3) "MP3s" are
downloadable files.
MP3s do NOT get sent to you via "snail mail"
or "on a disk".
4) Download
links are good for *4 CLICKS* (and 4 days) only.
EVERY click counts, even if you didn't successfully
download the file. Read the instructions in your
download email carefully, BEFORE you just start
wildly clicking away. This process is *easy*, IF
you follow the instructions.
5) Download
links automatically *EXPIRE* four (4) DAYS from
the time they are issued.
Place your order when you will be available to download
it within 4 days. Do NOT place an order immediately
before you're about to leave on vacation. Download
links are good for only *4 days* from the time they
are issued.
6) Orders
are guaranteed for 2 weeks (that's *14 days*) ONLY.
If you do not receive your order and/or are unable
to download it, send us a Support
Request IMMEDIATELY. After 14 days, your order
will be closed. No exceptions. It is your responsibility
to get your file downloaded and to make a back-up
of it *immediately*. If you fail to do this within
14 days, you will not be sent a new link, nor will
your order be refunded.
7) Access
to My Private Hypnosis Goddess Community
I conduct ongoing training & interaction with
members of My private Hypnosis Goddess community
only. Those who purchase "Hypnosub 1"
or My "Hypnosub Set" and pay for their
order using a major credit card (not PayPal) will
receive the option of a complimentary, limited-time
membership there. If you wish to join My private
community, remember to pay for your first order
with a major credit or debit card (not PayPal).
8) Order
Support Information:
If you encounter problems with receiving or downloading
your order, use our EMAIL
SUPPORT FORM for the fastest response.
Do NOT reply to your order receipt.
The order receipt comes from 2CheckOut; they handle
your credit card processing but they have nothing
to do with sending you your download links. Please
do NOT write to or call 2CheckOut for order support.
They cannot help you. Instead, use this
form to contact HG Order Support.
Frequently Asked Questions About Ordering & My Programs:
1.
How soon will I receive my download?
Instantly! Place your order and, upon successful processing
of your payment, you will be redirected to a download page and
be automatically sent an email with a link to your downloads.
Note: in a perfect world, errors never happen; however, in the
real world, they sometimes do. If you have not received your
download info within several hours after ordering (it's usually
sent instantly), please email us within a day or two (don't
wait weeks) and request a manual resend. This process relies
on lots of things working at once—the payment processor,
your mail server, our mail server, and so on—occasionally
there's a glitch. If that happens, we're happy to manually resend
your original order, as soon as time permits—however,
we do not provide refunds for mp3 purchases.
2.
How do I download my mp3?
As soon as your payment has been processed, you will be sent
your download information and instructions via email (this will
go to the email address used in your order, so enter it carefully).
As the instructions state, use the link in the email message
to go to your secure download page. Once there, click the download
icon/s to download your file. If the file plays instead of saving
to your harddrive, you may have to *right-click* onto the link
and choose "save target as". Choose a location on
your harddrive that you will be able to find later and save
your mp3 file. Downloads are limited to no more than 4 attempts
and every click counts (whether the program gets downloaded
or not), so don't listen to the program before downloading it.
Save the full mp3 to your harddrive before playing it. Avoid
needless clicking on the download links. (Do not attempt to
use a third-party download manager program. We do not support
those.) Once your download attempts have been exceeded, the
option to save your file as an mp3 disappears, and you will
have to contact us to manually issue you a brand new one (this
could take 3-14 days), so go slowly until you've learned this
process.
3.
What do I do if I have not received my downloadable order?
Upon successful processing of your payment, you will be redirected
to a download page and also sent the download information via
email. If it has been several hours since you placed your order
(and you did not pay via e-check, which takes longer), then
it is likely that your order email was sent and you did not
receive it. The most common reason for this is that the download
email got accidentally deleted as "spam" by your ISP
or spam filter. This happens often with yahoo and hotmail accounts.
If you used a yahoo address for your order, go to your yahoo
inbox and check your "bulk mail folder". Also, de-activate
your yahoo spam filter and bulk mail folder when you place your
first order with this site; after your download email arrives,
add the address to your yahoo address book and re-activate the
spam filtering options you desire. This *should* insure that
future messages from this site arrive in your inbox. If your
address is through some other company (and not yahoo), you may
still be having a similar issue, so watch your spam or bulk
mail folders for the incoming message/s. If you do not find
your download email in your spam folder, it may be that there
was an unusual glitch with your order. Contact HypnosisGoddess.com
for order support by using our Support
Request Form.
4.
Can I download my order?
Yes! In fact, all programs are now available as downloadable
files. To order an MP3 or video download, just use the order
button for that item. You will be redirected to a secure order
page where you may make your payment. Upon successful completion
of your order, you will be emailed the download link and instructions
instantly. (Please note that we do track downloads by IP
and other identifying info so that downloads are not shared
or redistributed.)
5.
What kind of system do I need to order and download your mp3s? These mp3 files are quite
large and are recommended for *high speed internet users* only.
(That means cable or dsl and not a 56k phone modem.) If you
are using a telephone modem and/or if your ISP has a tendency
to periodically disconnect your service, you will likely experience
difficulty in downloading these mp3s. Once again, the files
are quite large (that's why the file size is listed in every
file description) and are recommended for high speed internet
users only. Lady Christine will not and cannot provide tech
support for ISP related issues. She does not use or recommend
AOL. If you are in the UK and you use one of the (free) ISP's
that tends to periodically disconnect its users, then you will
likely be unable to download these mp3s successfully. Please
note that, in the event that *your internet connection* prevents
a successful download, your download info may be reissued manually—*one
time*—but we will *not* refund your payment, mail you a
cd or provide the mp3 through some other means. If you order
a downloadable mp3, that is the product that will be delivered—so
please DO NOT write and ask for something else.
6.
How do I download my mp3 using AOL?
Unfortunately, AOL has its own system for doing almost everything
and we cannot provide tech support for a program we do not use
and do not recommend. If your tech support issue pertains to AOL,
you should contact the AOL tech support for guidance on using their
product. As stated in your email instructions, the way to download
your mp3 is: follow the link in your download email; you will be sent to
a secure page with your download link/s on it. In order to save
the mp3 onto your computer, click the download icon and save the file. If the file plays instead of saving, you must *right-click* onto the download
icon and choose
"save target as". Choose a location on your harddrive
that you will be able to find later and save your mp3 file. Downloads
are limited to no more than 4 attempts and every click counts (whether
the program gets downloaded or not), so don't listen to the program
before downloading it. Save the full mp3 to your harddrive before playing
it. Avoid needless clicking on the download links. Once your download
attempts have been exceeded, the option to save your file as an
mp3 disappears, and you will have to contact us to manually issue
you a brand new one (this could take 3-14 days), so go slowly until
you've learned this process. If, after reading these instructions,
you still cannot download your file, we suggest you immediately
contact AOL tech support for further help.
7.
What if my computer isn't working and/or I can't figure out how
to order online—can I order by phone?
NO. We're sorry, but we can't process your order by phone. Use
a friend's computer. Go to the library, Kinko's or an internet
cafe. Ask a tech savvy friend to help you. It's a very easy process
and lots of people order via our system all the time. We know you
can do it, too. After all, you got to this site in the first
place, right?
8.
What if I don't have a credit or debit card—can I order by
check?
Yes! You may still order online, using a check or PayPal, via
2CheckOut. Be aware that your download info will not be sent
until your echeck has cleared (which usually takes several WEEKS
longer than payment by debit, credit card or paypal). However,
once your payment has been processed, the rest of the download
procedure will be the same (you'll be emailed the same download
info and may download your mp3 online).
Can I order some
other way, besides using a credit card, e-check or paypal?
NO. The credit card transaction is part of how I screen My patrons.
I have just as much right to know who I'm dealing with as you
do (that never occurred to you, now did it?). Plus, having to
process orders sent in the mail or made through NiteFlirt or
some other means is inconvenient and those orders are likely
to get missed or misplaced. I have a good, working order system
in place: you come to this website, you use the "order"
buttons, you enter your payment info and then you automatically
receive the download link/s once your order has been verified.
That's it. That is the ONLY way I will accept your order, PERIOD.
So don't waste My time (or yours) writing and asking Me if you
can place an order some other way.
9.
How do I order by mail? How do I order with Niteflirt/Keen?
Please note that our online processors accept credit cards,
debit cards, echecks and PayPal. (All echeck orders will
be held until the payment clears.) Lady Christine does not
accept payment for the products on this site via any other method.
(That means no cash in the mail, no money orders in the mail,
no gift certificates to other sites, no payment via niteflirt/keen.)
HG has an established system for instantly filling orders, and
receiving orders through some other means throws everything
off, wastes time, and can potentially result in misplaced orders.
Therefore, this is the rule: the only way to order the programs
on this site is to use the buy buttons and pay with a method
accepted by 2CheckOut.
13.
Will my order be sent discreetly?
Your receipt and download info will be emailed to the address
you use to place your order. We cannot change that for you after
you place your order. All orders are now processed automatically.
The emails you are sent may contain the word/s "hypnosis",
"HypnosisGoddess.com", "Lady Christine",
"Hypnosub" and/or "Hyp Shop". If you are
concerned about this, update your email address (to something
private) before placing your order. All shipped orders are sent
with a discrete mailing label.
What will my credit card statement say?
Your credit card statement *should* say something like: "HYPENT"
and "2CheckOut" and the total charge. It should be
discreet and fairly indecipherable. However, we cannot promise
this; it's impossible to know *exactly* what every single credit
card statement will show. All orders placed from this site are
done so at the buyer's own risk.
14.
What is your refund policy?
I have never had anyone ask for a refund because they were dissatisfied
with My products—in fact, I get told over and over again
that My hypnotic femdom programs are the best around. However,
you can't please everybody all the time, and every once in a while
I attract a curmudgeon who can't figure out how to download the
files (using AOL of course) or a pissy "type A" who decides
he "doesn't like My Dominant attitude".So I feel
obligated to disclose My policy as clearly as possible, before
you place your order: I do not offer refunds.
Only you know the capabilities of your computer
and your ISP, and only you know how much experience and internet
knowledge you have. If you are a complete novice and/or if you
cannot understand the directions provided on this site, please
do not order these mp3s. Sorry, but we cannot provide email
tech support for internet newbies. In addition, please note
that refunds will *not* be provided on mp3 purchases for any
of the following reasons: user error, ISP disconnects, ordering
the wrong mp3, ordering the same mp3 twice in a row, losing
the mp3, pc or system crashes or failures, deliberately deleting
the mp3 files, inability to figure out how to use mp3s, lack
of a cd burner, changing one's mind after purchase or any other
responsibility of the buyer. If there is a problem with our
system, we will manually reissue you your download link (for
the same product), one time, to the email address used to place
your order. (We will do this as soon as possible after receiving
your email, but please realize that we do not offer 24/7 tech
support.) Please place your orders *carefully* and back
up your downloads onto a hard copy as soon as possible. Again,
Lady Christine does not offer unlimited downloads, so don't
lose or delete your file without backing it up first.
15.
What if I lose or delete my files, will you replace them?
I do not provide unlimited downloads. Period. If you bought
a cd at Best Buy and then lost it, do you think they would replace
it for you? Nope. You'd have to buy it again. Even filling orders
for digital files takes time and labor (somebody has to generate
the encrypted download link and send the email) and I refuse
to eat those costs simply because some of you are too lazy to
keep your mp3s safe. And I *especially* will not replace files
for those of you who throw a hissy fit and *deliberately* delete
your mp3 files. (I find it offensive that you would even ask
Me such a thing—first you disrespect My hard work by being
careless with it and then you expect Me to work more by cleaning
up your mess for you?) Hissy fits have consequences. It is the
buyer's responsibility to make a back-up copy of their files
immediately. Burn them to a cd and/or copy them onto another
one of your computers or mp3 players (obviously, you may not
share or trade them with others, but you may make additional
copies *for your own use*). Do NOT delete your purchased files
and then come to Me begging Me to replace them. I WON'T. If
your system crashes, if your pc floats away in a tide of flood
waters, if your wife finds your secret stash and zaps it into
cyber dust, OR if you deliberately delete your own files in
a fit of angst, fear, guilt, superstition, or a childish tantrum,
I will NOT replace your downloaded files. **you've now been
warned.**
16.
Which program should I order first? What do You recommend? Which of your programs is "the most popular"?
I encourage everyone new to My Realm to begin with My "Hypnosub
SET" or "Hypnosub
1" mp3s. The set saves you a little money and gets
you all three files in one order. However, if you're not feeling
that adventurous yet, you may start with "Hypnosub 1".
See the "Intro"
page for more information on getting started.
17.
What if I already have hypnosis experience?
Even if you have tried the programs of other hypnodommes—whether
one or two or many of them—and even if you have been practicing
hypnosis for years, you will still need to be trained to My
way of doing things. The "Hypnosub" series not only
provides important conditioning for entering the trance state,
it also sets hypnotic triggers that I use throughout all of
My other programs (including videos) and My live sessions. Start
with My "Hypnosub
Set" or "Hypnosub
1" no matter what your experience level is. Once you
have completed the initial training period (see the pdf instructions
with your mp3 downloads for details), you will get far more
out of My advanced programs, such as "Subspace
1" or "Subspace
2", "Teased",
"Melting Release",
or the "Submission"
series.
18.
Will you hypnotize my wife or girlfriend? Will you hypnotize
me to better serve My wife or girlfriend? Will you create a
training program that my Mistress can use to train me?
I currently do not work with women or couples. I strongly dislike
male-dom dynamics and I never hypnotize women to be submissive
or subservient. I do not "switch", nor do I enjoy
subjects who "switch". I am primarily interested in
submissive males who desire to serve Me and that is what most
of My programs are designed to facilitate. (Yes, you may begin
to better serve your wife or girlfriend as a result of My training,
but that is not My primary objective. My primary objective is
that you serve *Me* and do it well.) However...as a result of
the many, many requests I have received, I am currently developing
several unique new lines of My superior hypnotic conditioning
programs. One of these lines will specifically address training
males to better serve their wives, girlfriends, Mistresses,
Goddesses, Queens—whoever that might be for them.
19.
Do you do "feminization"? Do you work with "sissies"? Will you make me a program that will give me breasts and/or a body like a woman?
No. Unlike many professional Dominas, I do not enjoy feminized
or "sissified" submissives. (No judgment, just not
My thing.) I prefer intelligent, male submissives who dress
like males and speak like males. Yes, I realize there's a healthy
market of those with a fetish to be feminized and I could capitalize
on that market if I were willing to do anything for a buck.
However, I also realize that participating in exchanges that
I do not enjoy and which do not turn Me on is one of the fastest
ways to burn Myself out on professional domination entirely—so
I don't do scenes or exchanges that I do not enjoy *for any
price*. In My opinion, "feminization" ("cross-dressing",
"sissification", and the like) is a fetish, like being
attracted to feet or leather or boots; it is *not* synonymous
with submission. There are many subs with no desire to be feminized
and there are many sissies with no real desire to be submissives.
(In fact, I have yet to meet a genuinely submissive sissy—they
are usually waaay too into themselves and being dressed up and
made up and played with and entertained to be of any real service.)
20.
Will you make me a custom hypnosis mp3 for my particular fetish/fantasy?
Sorry but I am not currently offering custom mp3s—My schedule
just doesn't allow for it. Custom mp3s take Me just as much
time (and sometimes more) as My "ready made" mp3s
and I am only selling one copy of them (to the person who placed
the order). Therefore, I have to charge several hundred dollars
for each of them and it is still not a profitable use of My
time. (They're very labor-intensive.) I'm also very particular
about which topics I am willing to create programs for (I've
gotten some pretty bizarre requests). Plus, I find that writing
an hypnosis script in which I have no room to express My own
creativity (because the buyer has written a request for exactly
what they want, point by point) saps My motivation. (In other
words: B-O-R-I-N-G.) In the event that I decide to offer custom
mp3s again, I will list them on this site, along with instructions
for ordering them. Please do not write and ask Me about your
individual issue; if you don't see custom mp3s offered here,
it means I don't sell them.
21.
Do you also have mp3s for weight-loss and other "vanilla"
issues?
Yes, I have another site where I sell My vanilla hypnosis programs:
www.ladyhypnotist.com.
There are many titles there, including weight-loss, smoking cessation,
better sleeping and so on. I find that many hypnosubs enjoy the
experience of hypnosis so much that they decide to use it to improve
other areas of their lives—and I encourage that! I want to
see My hypnosubs blossom into the best men they can be!
22.
Can I use your femdom and vanilla programs together?
Yes! On the vanilla site, I recommend starting with "Deep
Hypnotic Conditioning". However, if you are combing both femdom
and vanilla products, you may substitute "Hypnosub 1"
for "Deep Hypnotic Conditioning", as it contains many
of the same hypnotic conditioning suggestions. After you have completed
your training at least through two weeks of "Hypnosub 1"
(and you are easily entering trance every time), then you may add
some vanilla programs to your training regimen. Alternate them
with the "Hypnosub" programs or listen to two a day—that's
up to you. Just remember to give each program approximately 14
days of listening in order for the suggestions to really soak in.
1.
What is an "mp3" and how do I use it?
Basically, an mp3 is an audio program in a specially compressed
file format. This smaller sized file makes it faster for buyers
to download their programs online and it means you can fit *more
programs* onto an mp3 cd. You can use mp3s just like cd audio programs.
They can be converted and "burned" (copied) to standard
cds and used in nearly all cd players *or*, you can keep them in
mp3 format and use them on mp3 player devices. Once you learn
the process, you'll find they are very easy to use and you'll appreciate
how fast it is to obtain them!
2.
What if I want a "real cd" not an mp3 cd?
MP3 files can be converted (easily and automatically) to standard
cda files (cd files) and burned onto regular cds for use in almost
any standard cd player (some newer dvd players may have difficulties
with recordable cds). This is exactly the process we use for burning
cds on demand to fill our orders for shipped cds. You will not
be losing anything by using this method, but, you will be gaining
a savings of money and wait time. However, if you absolutely
insist on waiting for a hard copy cd, order with the "cd"
button (see above).
3.
What if I lose my mp3 files or my computer crashes?
We recommend making backups of your purchased mp3s immediately.
We will not replace mp3 files beyond 14 days after their original
order. Preparing for computer (or user) error is your responsibility.
(And please don't make the mistake of deleting all your hypnosub
programs in a fit of temper or angst and then expect Lady Christine
to replace them for you once you have calmed down. It's not
gonna happen. One more time: NOT GONNA HAPPEN. you delete or
lose the files and you will have to buy them again in order
to replace them.) And, yes, we *know* that that's not how some
sites handle digital files—but when was the last time
Best Buy gave you a free cd when you walked in and told them
you'd lost (or thrown away) your first copy? Providing unlimited
downloads encourages hypnosubs to be careless with the files
and puts the drain of resources (time, money, etc.) on the provider
of those files (Lady Christine), which is inappropriate in a
Femdom scenario. Be responsible with your files and don't cause
more work for Goddess.
4.
What equipment/software do I need to use MP3 files?
First, you need access to the internet, both to place your order
and to download your mp3. We recommend high-speed access for downloading,
as these files are still rather large. However, if you have a slow
connection, you can always start the process and go do other things
while it's downloading.
Second, you will want to have a cd burner on
your system. This is so you can make hard copies of your program
to use in other audio players besides your computer. (You'll
also need some blank, recordable cds, of course.) If you don't
have a cd burner on your computer already, we recommend that you
consider adding one. They are so useful that you'll wonder how
you managed to get along without one for so long!
Finally, you'll need some software for listening
to the programs on your system and for burning the programs
to your cds. Most Windows systems already have Windows
Media Player which will play MP3, wav or cda (standard cd)
files. Windows Media Player is a fun program for listening to
hypnosis programs on, as it also has some mesmerizing visual
effects called "visualizations". You can also use
mp3s on your mp3 player (such as an iPod) and use the software
that came with the player.
For burning CDs, we recommend Roxio
Creator (available through their site and in most Computer/Software
stores). This program will automatically convert your mp3 files
to cda files as it creates your cd *or* it will burn cds in
mp3 format for you.
Of course, these are only a couple of the
software programs available. If you already have a music player/recorder
program/s that you enjoy and know how to use, there's no need to
purchase additional software.
5.
Where can I find extra help on using mp3s?
Try the web site of your software creator for specific help
on using that program. (The site or tech support number of your
cd burner's creator, such as Creative, HP, Gateway, etc. might
also be helpful.) Or try "googling" (searching on
google.com) your specific issue.
1.
What exactly is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a natural state of deep, physical relaxation, in which
the mind remains clear, alert and focused. Hypnosis is not mind-control,
brainwashing or in any way harmful or dangerous. We all naturally
enter in and out of the hypnotic state, on a daily basis, often
without being aware of it.
2.
Will I know what's going on around me while I'm hypnotized?
Yes. You will hear every word that the hypnotist says. Your body
will be very relaxed, but your mind will remain conscious and aware
the entire time. Think about it: your subconscious mind uses
the same set of ears that your conscious mind hears with! How effective
would it be if, once you entered the trance state, you suddenly
lost all ability to hear the hypnotist's words?
3.
How do you put people into hypnosis?
With a big watch, of course! Actually, today's hypnotists generally
use words, a soothing tone, mental imagery and various exercises
(such as deep breathing) to induce a pleasant, lethargic state.
4.
You're holding a pocket watch in some of your photos. Do you use
it on stage?
No, I don't. In the past, hypnotists often used a "focus" item
for their subjects to stare at. This could be a pendulum, a candle
flame, a spiral drawn on a piece of paper, or, because they often
carried them, a pocket watch swung to-and-fro. While some hypnotists
today still use a focus in their acts, such as a bright light,
I do not. No reason for or against either method, simply a different
style of induction. My primary tool is my voice, as in the answer
above. However, because people still associate hypnotists with
pocket watches, I use one in my publicity photos. It tells you
instantly what I do, without your having to read a caption.
5.
What does it feel like to be hypnotized?
It feels great! Hypnosis is a natural state that feels similar
to that feeling you get right before you fall asleep at night.
When you awaken, you feel refreshed and revitalized. Everyone who
volunteers in a show has a blast!
6.
Can everyone be hypnotized?
Yes. Anyone of at least average intelligence can be hypnotized.
However, the subject must first be willing. Hypnosis is not
something that the hypnotist does to you. Hypnotists are guides.
It is up to you, the subject, to allow yourself to enter the trance
state.
7.
I volunteered in a show once, but "it didn't work on me"—why
not?
If you volunteered in a hypnosis show once and were asked to step
down, don't let that stop you from volunteering again. There are
lots of factors that will affect your success as a show volunteer.
Some people are too excited at the time to relax. Maybe the audience
size is overwhelming or the event is very emotional, such as a
Grad Night. Some people feel more comfortable around strangers.
(It works for them at a comedy club, when they're on vacation,
but not at the company Christmas party, for example.) Others
feel more comfortable around friends. (Vice-versa.) I find
that the level of "team spirit" at a particular corporation or
school has a lot to do with whether its members feel comfortable
"letting go" in front of each other. Another important factor is
EXPECTATION. If you have never been formally hypnotized before,
you may be expecting "fireworks." When that doesn't happen, you
think, "Oh, it's not working on me," and you STOP PARTICIPATING,
open your eyes and sit there waiting to be let off the stage. The
people who will do well as volunteers are the people who do not
expect to be transported to another realm. They understand that
they will still "know what's going on" and still "hear everything
the hypnotist says." They stay with it and follow the hypnotist's
instructions, even when they're not sure if it's working. You
cannot simultaneously BE the show and SEE the show! You have to
pick one and stick with it!
8.
How does someone wake up after hypnosis? What if the hypnotist
leaves while they're still in trance?
After hypnosis, a person awakens naturally, just as they do after
sleep. It is impossible for someone to be "left in hypnosis." If
the hypnotist were to leave before counting them awake, the subject
would eventually realize that the session had ended and would awaken
on their own. During a show or hypnotherapy session, if there were
an emergency, or the subject no longer wished to participate, they
could easily awaken themselves at any time and simply walk off
the stage.
9.
Can hypnosis be used for...?
"Improving my golf game?" "Helping me relax during exams?" "Curing
my insomnia?" "Helping me get past my fear of public speaking?"
Etc. Let's put it this way: think for a moment about any issue
in your life that you'd like to improve and ask yourself, "Does
my mind interact with this issue/activity in any way? Do my thoughts/beliefs
affect my performance? Do my feelings contribute to my experiences
in this area? Have I had past experiences that are reinforcing
my beliefs/thoughts/emotions in a negative way? Is it my expectation
that I will NOT get the results I desire?" Are you getting the
picture? The mind, body and emotions are all connected. Therefore,
I'm not aware of ANY issue that can not be at least significantly
improved/relieved through the regular use of hypnosis.
10.
Can I really go into hypnosis with cds or mp3s? Do they really
"work"?
Of course—why wouldn't they work? Hypnosis is not about
something that gets done *to you*—it's about something that
you allow yourself to experience. The hypnotist is a *guide*, not
a puppeteer. This means that you really have about the same chance
of going into hypnosis in almost any situation that you're reasonably
comfortable in—be it on stage, in a hypnotherapist's office,
or while relaxing in your easy chair at home. Most hypnotists use
their voice and their spoken patter to lead their subjects into
trance. Using a recorded audio program to enter trance is virtually
the same as sitting next to a hypnotist and listening to them speak,
especially once your eyes are closed (plus, with my mp3s, you also
get some nice music). Yes, a live session would be more interactive,
more custom to your specific issues and better paced to your individual
responses. However, you'd spend more money for an in-person session,
would have to go somewhere else to experience it, and wouldn't
have the privacy and convenience that you enjoy in the comfort
of your own home. Use in-person sessions when you have an issue
that requires interactive work with a qualified hypnotherapist
and use audio programs (tapes, cds or mp3s) for repetitive programming
and conditioning, relaxation, entertainment, and for simpler, less
interactive hypnosis sessions. It's like the difference between
meeting with a private exercise trainer and using store-bought
workout videos at home. Why not make the best use of both?
Use hypnotherapy on those occasions when it's called for, but also
take advantage of the convenience and lower expense of prerecorded
hypnosis audio programs on a more regular basis.
11.
Do you offer telephone hypnosis sessions? Do they really "work"?
First, see my answer to question #10 above (do hypnotic recordings
really work?). Telephone sessions certainly "work" and,
yes, I offer these. The dynamic behind these is about the same
as that of prerecorded hypnosis audio: you don't have to be in
the same room as the hypnotist in order to enter trance, you simply
need to be able to hear their voice and follow their instructions.
The upside of telephone sessions is that you get a little more personalized
and interactive experience (than in a recording), yet you're still
able to enjoy them in the privacy and comfort of your home (as
opposed to going to a hypnotherapist's office). The downside is that I grant very few appointments, phone sessions are more expensive than mp3s/cds, and few people could manage a phone session every day, even if I were available that often (and I'm not). My suggestion is that you do a session every day with one of My hypnosis recordings and view phone sessions as rare, special treats. A couple of tips
for phone sessions: do some conditioning with recordings (mp3s)
first, and get yourself a telephone headset. (You'll have a much
easier time relaxing if you don't have to hold a phone to your
ear).
12.
Can you recommend a good hypnotherapist for me? How do I find one
in my area?
Please do not write to me and ask me to to suggest a hypnotherapist
in your area—I do not keep a worldwide directory of hypnotherapists.
There is no possible way for me to read an email and know where
you are, what your issues are and who is a "good" hypnotherapist
in your area to recommend. How you find a good hypnotherapist is
*you look for one*. First, start with your local yellow pages.
If there aren't any listed, go to the YP of the nearest large city.
When you find some that interest you, see if they list web sites
that you can visit for more information. Call them on the phone
and chat with them for a few minutes, if possible. (Don't waste
their time with idle chitchat—ask specific questions about
their training, experience, methods and specialties.) It may benefit
you to find a hypnotherapist who specializes in the issue you want
to work with. Theoretically, this gives them more experience and
a few more "tools in their toolbox." (Scripts, techniques, etc.)
Ask them if they will be willing to make you a recording (tape
or cd) of the session/s to listen to for reinforcement. Plan on
at least several sessions for most issues. While speaking to the
hypnotherapist, ask if they offer an initial *consultation*. (Many
will speak with you for free—but don't expect to be *hypnotized*
without a charge.) The main point of speaking to them beforehand
is to determine if they are someone that you feel comfortable working
with. (If you don't like or respect them, what they say will have
no impact for you.) If you meet with the hypnotherapist and feel
uncomfortable with him/her, keep looking until you find someone
you do like. (Remember, a good hypnotherapist will probably help
you uncover a "home truth" or two, so don't expect the whole process
to be totally comfortable. The issue is whether or not you
feel safe and whether or not you respect the skill and experience
of the person you're working with.) Finally, if the hypnotherapist
gives you any "homework," such as self-hypnosis training or listening
to self-hypnosis tapes, DO IT. There is no point in paying for
sessions if you are unwilling to do the work.
13.
Why don't more people use self-hypnosis or get hypnotherapy sessions?
Why don't more people floss or exercise? We KNOW what's good for
us but that doesn't mean we'll do it. We're busy. Most of us barely
keep up with all the stuff we feel we HAVE to do, let alone all
that stuff that seems "optional." The other reason, I believe,
is that hypnosis appears very simple. So simple, that when people
first try it, they think it's too easy to do any good. So they
stop, thinking either it doesn't work or they're not doing it right.
The truth is, an activity does not need to be complex in order
to be beneficial. (Consider sit-ups and flossing and tossing
down those vitamin pills!) Our society is very geared toward
DOING. Most of us are not comfortable with just BEING. Practice
sitting quietly on a daily basis for even 5 minutes. You'll be
surprised how challenging this is!
14.
What's the difference between self-hypnosis, "guided imagery,"
"creative visualization" or meditation?
Truthfully, there's not much difference at all. I believe that
the prevailing misconceptions about hypnosis have made people afraid
to call the process by its rightful name—especially in a business
environment. "Guided Imagery" or "Previewing" perhaps sound a little
less mystical than "Self-Hypnosis." All of these processes are
simply exercises to relax the body and focus the mind. The state
you attain can feel the same for each—no matter what you choose
to call it.
15.
How quickly will I experience results from hypnosis? How quickly do you WANT to see results? There's a lot of
factors at work here. First, and foremost, there's your motivation
level. If you're "trying" to quit smoking because your spouse has
put you up to it, you're not really all that motivated yourself,
now are you? My advice there: just quit wasting your time and money
and be honest. There's no such thing as "trying to quit." You're
either ready to be a nonsmoker or you're not. Same is true with
just about anything. If your motivation level is HIGH, you'll likely
experience results very quickly. If it's low, you may quit going
to the hypnotherapist or stop listening to that new tape long before
you see any results. Other factors that determine your success
can include your comfort-level and respect for the hypnotherapist
you're working with, as well as the regularity of your hypnosis
sessions. Hypnosis is NOT a magic pill. Sorry. You will actually
have to do some WORK along the way, such as attending your hypnotherapy
sessions or listening to your self-hypnosis tape on a daily basis.
If you are expecting to be "put to sleep" and awaken "never wanting
to eat chocolate again," you're probably destined for disappointment.
It just doesn't happen that way. On the other hand, I've encountered
a fair number of nonsmokers who tell me that they stopped smoking
as a result of "just one hypnosis session many years ago." I'd
say that, when they had that session, "many years ago," they were
what I'd call HIGHLY MOTIVATED. Are you?
16.
How can I learn more about hypnosis? Can you suggest some books?
Depends. What exactly do you want to learn? If you're just
curious about hypnosis, try reading a book on the subject or buying
a self-hypnosis recording that will guide you through the process.
An excellent place to start is my HypnoBooks.com
site, which is an online store featuring every current book on
the subject and lots of audio programs, too. You can also try some
of my own guided hypnosis mp3s, available on this site. For more
in-depth learning, see below.
17.
How can I learn to hypnotize others?
I get this question often and, because of its vagueness, I am unable
to give a complete answer to it. First of all, are you wanting
to become a hypnotherapist, a stage hypnotist, or both, or are
you just wanting to hypnotize your partner for fun? If you want
to become a professional, what country are you writing from...?
The pertinent laws are different in various countries and I am
only familiar with the laws here in the US. See what I mean? So
let's take this bit by bit... (see the following questions)
18.
I want to become a professional hypnotherapist. How can I do that?
Assuming you are in the US, (specifically in California,) you do
not need a license in order to practice as a hypnotherapist. Hypnotherapy
is technically "lay-counseling." It is a self-regulating field
that does not require practitioners to have a particular degree
or to obtain a license. HOWEVER, thorough training in the field
is an absolute necessity. Don't shortchange yourself or your clients
by thinking you can read a book and become a hypnotherapist overnight.
Attend a reputable school of hypnotherapy (in person, not on video)
and get your certification. After training, continue your education
by reading current books on the areas you work in and by attending
additional classes and workshops regularly.
19.
How do I find a good hypnotherapy school?
If you are in a major city, chances are, you have at least one
hypnotherapy school near you. Look in your local Yellow Pages.
Also search the internet. I particularly like the techniques of
Mr. Gil Boyne, and tend to prefer schools that are licensed to
teach his materials. (Transforming Therapy.) Find a school that
requires at least 200 hours of training to certify as a "Clinical
Hypnotherapist." TAKE THE WHOLE COURSE. "Schools" that offer "weekend
certifications" or "at-home study by video" are not worth your
money, in my opinion. Because of the nature of hypnosis, you need
lots of hands-on experience, both to cement your skills AND to
build your confidence. Lots of people who complete hypnotherapy
training NEVER PRACTICE IT after graduating. Why? They don't
have enough confidence. Hypnosis is something you must learn by
doing (and, btw, by experiencing it yourself—it amazes me
how many so-called "hypnotists" there are out there who
have never been able to go into trance themselves—would
you take sensual advice from a virgin?).
20.
I want to become a professional stage hypnotist. How do I start?
I'll admit, this is a sore subject with me—primarily because
I've heard so many horror stories over the years from clients and
agencies who have hired inexpensive "newbies" who then
turned in horribly unprofessional performances and disappointed
everyone (thus hurting the reputations of *all* stage hypnotists).
Just because you're an experienced DJ who has watched a couple
of hypnosis shows doesn't mean you can do just as good of a job
as a pro— even after reading a book or watching a video or
two. Yes, I know, "it looks so easy", but that's probably
because you're watching a trained professional with years of experience.
(Does owning a couple of cds qualify me to be a professional
dj...?) "In the old days", many stage hypnotists
got no professional training at all; they learned their craft from
other hypnotists, books and videos. While it's still possible to
do this, be aware that this approach takes *lots of practice and
study* and, unless you are interning with a highly experienced
professional stage hypnotist (not another dj-turned-hypnotist-overnight),
you will miss out on a lot of important information. (Remember,
every show is unique and *experience* is what helps a pro to deal
with the unexpected challenges in a way that makes the performance
*look easy*.) I tend toward recommending lots of training. My suggestion
is that you follow my guidelines for hypnotherapy, AND THEN apply
that training to stage work. (That's what I did.) While,
as a stage hypnotist, you may never use all the hypnotherapy techniques
you will learn during training, (and you will also require some
skills you won't get in a hypnotherapy course,) it's never
a bad idea to have more "tools in your toolbox" than you think
will be necessary. In addition, if you're any good on stage, you'll
find you often get asked afterwards about hypnotherapy sessions
and you'll probably want to make these part of your business. If
you will be conducting hypnotherapy sessions, I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE
you to invest in professional training. I cannot overemphasize
how important it is to represent yourself well as a stage hypnotist.
The fact that it looks easy does not mean it is. Currently, the
field is over-saturated with underqualified newbies who have little
or no experience (I know, because my clients always come back to
me the following year, kicking themselves for ever trying somebody
cheaper and less qualified). Do us all a favor and treat this craft
with the reverance it deserves: get well trained, study hard, practice
more than you think you need to, memorize those notes, learn what
to do when something unexpected happens, never drink alcohol on
the job or show up drunk (a shame I even have to mention *that
one*), dress professionally, work hard to put on the best possible
performance, charge what you're worth, and be willing to turn down
any show that exceeds your qualifications or at which, logistically,
you know you would be unable to turn in a first-rate performance.
Pay your dues and strive to make your every show better than the
previous one. *That's* how you become a professional stage hypnotist
worthy of "the big bucks"—*not* by buying a couple
of our videos and attempting to imitate us.
21.
Will you be my mentor and teach me stage hypnosis?
Absolutely not. I run a for-profit business—and maintain multiple
web sites. This keeps me way too busy to "be a mentor" (read: provide
free training) for a potential competitor. Besides, stage hypnosis
is not something that I believe can be taught in a couple of emails
or over the phone. Once you're actually practicing the craft, if
you have a specific question, I'll try to find time to answer it.
In the meantime, get some training, *practice*, and start paying
your dues by actually *performing hypnosis shows* (I started out
doing lots of free shows for schools and charities). Whatever you
do, please do not buy a bunch of stage hypnotist's videos and copy
their acts—respect their hard work enough to come up with
*your own* routine and promo material.
22.
Can I try hypnosis on my girl/boy friend without professional training?
Good hypnosis is part natural intuition, part learned techniques,
and part experience. Sometimes feeling safe and trusting enough
to allow oneself to relax is half the battle. If you and your partner
feel comfortable trying some hypnotic techniques with each other,
I say, "What harm?!" In a nonprofessional environment,
there is certainly no danger in doing so. Read a book, watch a
video, listen to some tapes, take a class—whatever—to
learn the basics. Provided you are not delving into deep psychological
issues, hypnotizing each other—or going into trance together—can
be a very relaxing, very bonding experience. However, I am not
suggesting that you start advertising yourself as a "hypnotist"
and/or lie about your experience or training. (Think of this
like the difference between giving your lover a backrub and declaring
yourself a "professional massage practitioner" without
getting any training or experience.) If you are going to be
hypnotizing others on a regular basis, please get professional
training. Poorly skilled amateurs give us experienced professionals
a bad rep, and nobody appreciates that.

Why do I have to start with mp3s or cds? Why can't I just do a phone session with you?
I am an extremely busy Goddess and My time is in great demand.
These days, I grant very few phone session appointments and
do only those sessions that I genuinely enjoy and truly want
to do. I offer a fantastic set of high-quality hypnosub training
programs (and, yes, hypnosis via mp3 or cd is just as effective
as hypnosis via phone or in-person) and I require that everyone
train with these before requesting a phone session appointment.
No, you don't have to use My hypnosub mp3s/cds, nor do you have
to do a phone session with Me. Every product and service I offer
is an entirely optional luxury and no one is forcing you to
place an order. However, if your goal is to session with Me,
you will have to obey the Rules of My Realm.
I have been offering Hypnotic Domination
Phone Sessions for more than seven years now. I am hardly a
novice in this genre. When I first began, I used to log on to
Keen/NiteFlirt nearly every night for anywhere from two to six
hours at a time. Many of the sessions I crafted were exciting
and satisfying for Me, as well as for My callers. Unfortunately,
I also received many calls from males who—at best—were
ignorant about true submission or—at worst—were
just plain lazy and selfish. They had no previous experience
with hypnosis (or true submission) and, all too often, no real
interest in becoming My hypnosubs; many of them didn't even
bother reading My page on Keen/NiteFlirt before phoning Me.
They were simply looking for phone sex and/or a fantasy vending
machine and I happened to be logged on at the time.
I quickly recognized that most males are like kids in candy stores when they discover a means by which they can get their fantasies fulfilled on demand. They're not bad people, but they're not rational or considerate people, either. They're in *GIMME!!!* mode. It is up to Me, the Dominant, to set My own limits and boundaries and to *insist* that those limits are observed. Otherwise, the greedy, horny fetishists of the world would suck Me dry—however inadvertently—and then move on to their next fantasy du jour. I'd be bored and burned out and My Velvety Voice would sound like gravel rubbed with sandpaper. This adventure is supposed to be *FUN!*, for Me as well as for you. Why do it if it isn't *fun*...?
I require males to train before I'll session
with them because, if I didn't, I'd be sharing the supreme gem
of My talent, expertise, experience, brilliance and creativity
with a bunch of horny, greedy, ignorant vampires who lacked
the training and discernment to even begin appreciating the
rare privilege they were being granted. I would use up My Voice
and burn Myself out and phone sessions would become something
I dread instead of something I enjoy. By requiring that you
do a little homework before I allow you passed the velvet rope,
I weed out the instant-gratifiers and selfish wankers. I also
turn the casual newbie into a potentially interesting hypnotic
subject for Me. All of which keeps the game fun and exciting—for
*both of us*.
2.
Can I really go into hypnosis with cds or mp3s? Do they really
"work"?
Of course—why wouldn't they work? Hypnosis is not
about something that gets done *to you*—it's about something
that you allow yourself to experience. The hypnotist is a *guide*,
not a puppeteer. This means that you really have about the same
chance of going into hypnosis in almost any situation that you're
reasonably comfortable in—be it on stage, in a hypnotherapist's
office, or while relaxing in your easy chair at home. Most hypnotists
use their voice and their spoken patter to lead their subjects
into trance. Using a recorded audio program to enter trance
is virtually the same as sitting next to a hypnotist and listening
to them speak, especially once your eyes are closed (plus, with
my mp3s, you also get some nice music). Yes, a live session
would be more interactive, more custom to your specific issues
and better paced to your individual responses. However, you'd
spend more money for an in-person session, would have to go
somewhere else to experience it, and wouldn't have the privacy
and convenience that you enjoy in the comfort of your own home.
Use in-person sessions when you have an issue that requires
interactive work with a qualified hypnotherapist (or for a rare,
special treat) and use recorded programs (cds, mp3s or videos)
for repetitive programming and conditioning, relaxation, entertainment,
and for simpler, less interactive hypnosis sessions. It's like
the difference between meeting with a private exercise trainer
and using store-bought workout videos at home. Why not make
the best use of both? Use hypnotherapy on those occasions
when it's called for and live femdom sessions for adding extra
oomph to your usual training, but also take advantage of the
convenience and lower expense of prerecorded hypnosis programs
on a more regular basis.
3.
Do you offer telephone hypnosis sessions? Do they really "work"?
First, see my answer to question #2 above (do hypnotic recordings
really work?). Telephone sessions certainly "work" and,
yes, I offer these. The dynamic behind these is about the same
as that of prerecorded hypnosis audio: you don't have to be in
the same room as the hypnotist in order to enter trance, you simply
need to be able to hear their voice and follow their instructions.
The upside of telephone sessions is that you get a little more personalized
and interactive experience (than in a recording), yet you're still
able to enjoy them in the privacy and comfort of your home (as
opposed to going to a hypnotherapist's office). The downside is that I grant very few appointments, phone sessions are more expensive than mp3s/cds, and few people could manage a phone session every day, even if I were available that often (and I'm not). My suggestion is that you do a session every day with one of My hypnosis recordings and view phone sessions as rare, special treats. A couple of tips
for phone sessions: do some conditioning with recordings (mp3s)
first, and get yourself a telephone headset. (You'll have a much
easier time relaxing if you don't have to hold a phone to your
ear).
4.
Will you hypnotize my wife or girlfriend? Will you hypnotize me to better serve My wife or girlfriend? Will you create a training program that my Mistress can use to train me?
I currently do not work with women or couples. I strongly dislike
male-dom dynamics and I never hypnotize women to be submissive
or subservient. I do not "switch", nor do I enjoy
subjects who "switch". I am primarily interested in
submissive males who desire to serve Me and that is what most
of My programs are designed to facilitate. (Yes, you may begin
to better serve your wife or girlfriend as a result of My training,
but that is not My primary objective. My primary objective is
that you serve *Me* and do it well.) However...as a result of
the many, many requests I have received, I am currently developing
several unique new lines of My superior hypnotic conditioning
programs. One of these lines will specifically address training
males to better serve their wives, girlfriends, Mistresses,
Goddesses, Queens—whoever that might be for them.
5.
Do you do "feminization"? Do you work with "sissies"?
Will you make me a program that will give me breasts and/or
a body like a woman?
No. Unlike many professional Dominas, I do not enjoy feminized
or "sissified" submissives. (No judgment, just not
My thing.) I prefer intelligent, male submissives who dress
like males and speak like males. Yes, I realize there's a healthy
market of those with a fetish to be feminized and I could capitalize
on that market if I were willing to do anything for a buck.
However, I also realize that participating in exchanges that
I do not enjoy and which do not turn Me on is one of the fastest
ways to burn Myself out on professional domination entirely—so
I don't do scenes or exchanges that I do not enjoy *for any
price*. In My opinion, "feminization" ("cross-dressing",
"sissification", and the like) is a fetish, like being
attracted to feet or leather or boots; it is *not* synonymous
with submission. There are many subs with no desire to be feminized
and there are many sissies with no real desire to be submissives.
(In fact, I have yet to meet a genuinely submissive sissy—they
are usually waaay too into themselves and being dressed up and
made up and played with and entertained to be of any real service.)
6.
Will You make me a custom hypnosis mp3 for my particular fetish/fantasy?
Sorry but I am not currently offering custom mp3s—My schedule just doesn't allow for it. Custom mp3s take Me just as much time (and sometimes more) as My "ready made" mp3s and I am only selling one copy of them (to the person who placed the order). Therefore, I have to charge several hundred dollars for each of them and it is still not a profitable use of My time. (They're very labor-intensive.) I'm also very particular about which topics I am willing to create programs for (I've gotten some pretty freaky requests). Plus, I find that writing an hypnosis script in which I have no room to express My own creativity (because the buyer has written a request for exactly what they want, point by point) saps My motivation. (In other words: B-O-R-I-N-G.) In the event that I decide to offer custom mp3s again, I will list them on this site, along with instructions for ordering them. Please do not write and ask Me about your individual issue; if you don't see custom mp3s offered here, it means I don't sell them.
7.
I'm trying to send You a gift via Amazon, but it won't let me use Your wishlist address. What should i do?
I keep My wishlist address private. That means that Amazon will
not release it to their third-party vendors. Every once in a
while, something I've picked out on the Amazon.com website is
only available through a third-party vendor, and not through
Amazon.com directly. When that happens, it won't let you use
My wishlist address. This is not a problem. Just email Me for
My correct shipping address. Enter it into your Amazon order
and all will be well.
