Pg 6: Navigating the First Session. Everyone gets a little unsure of what they should be doing for their first time. some subjects just want to dive right in. For those who are consenting and experienced, that can be okay. But for newcomers or first time hypnotists, planning out what you wish to do for each session is a great way to build a rapport with your partner. There's also a few people that really enjoy Consensual Non-Consent; roleplaying out that you don't want to be controlled. While that's all fine later on, these early stages are important to get into your head that this is meant to be a safe practice. setting the precedence of further sessions going forward. A few ideas for your first session could be: Learning to relax Familiarizing yourself with being tranced Stress relief Establishing a common visual metaphor to use Establishing safety triggers (such as an easy awakener) As I mentioned before, this is all meant to be recreational hypnosis, but many of these techniques you learn could be something the subject uses to clam themselves down on the day to day. But a reminder to all hypnotists getting started: Boundaries should always be respected, and no matter how much older or more experienced your subject is, you must remain the responsible party. You are the navigator.

Pg 7: The Induction Part One nduction is the process a Hypnotist leads to induce hypnosis. This can be anything from hyperfocus, to guided meditation, to even just listening to monotonous noises. whatever it is, It's opening the unconscious to concentrate on the hypnotist. Hypnosis is not exactly a 'state' you attain. It's a means of communication you have with a hypnotist and candid parts of your mind you normally keep to yourself. Think of it as a deeply honest conversation paired with meditation. Everyone is receptive at different levels. But as you start to guide someone under, so much trust is in your hands to keep them safe and relaxed. It is essential you should hold yourself to a standard to make sure they have a positive, relaxing experience. You should know when to gently wake them if something feels off, or they need to address a distraction or pressing matter. There's actually no singular way to induce a trance. In fact there are so many methods out there I haven't even attempted myself that some swear by. it all comes down to taste and what's best for your subject. Mike Mandel, a hypnotherapist, cites that there's something all inductions should have regardless of technique: Confidence, Congruence, and Conviction. You should maintain optimism, a consistency in your tone and presentation, and remain resolute in your objective. Subjects are very receptive to a hypnotist's presentation, if you're uncertain, they're uncertain. Another thing that can help with induction is prestige. A big reason why I personally have a lot of success with first time subjects is because I have a long standing reputation as a hypnotist that people have grown to trust. Any success story I have builds upon it, and any mistake I make is followed up with transparency and an effort to improve for next time. A chef that boldly claims they've never had a botched meal is not one that you should trust.

Pg 8: The Induction Part Two Every hypnotist has their own representation of where a subject goes when they are deep in hypnosis. Often there is only the instruction and the hypnotist. I prefer to have a more visualized approach for the subject, it makes it more tactile, and it allows them to mull over the imagery outside of trance as well (if they remember that is) For this, I tend to use The Box. Think of it as a representation of the subconscious, a place where all the senses are brought to in order to process and make up who we are. It's not a concrete place, mere a representation of the container that is our psyche. I use this consistently because expectation can be an important part to add to that prestige. Not everyone has a 'box' per se. and many others have visual representations of their head space I can't even parse at first glance sometimes. More importantly the box is supposed to represent a safe barrier between the conscious world (as well as the hypnotist) and the subject. You are being invited into an intimate space with the subject. For this kind of thing, I feel it's important to establish that boundary as part of the process. The Hypnotist is not some all powerful figure forcing their way into the subject's mind. It is an invitation. And it's only proper decorum to knock and wait to be allowed in. I'm sorry this has taken so long, The first time around I wanted to revise and rewrite what I had initially presented so as to be as careful as I can. I've spoken in great details to other hypnotists, subjects and therapists to make sure this is handled safely and ethically. I hope you are enjoying the comic so far!

And the newest pages of Should I Get Sleepy? by @lagergoaty.bsky.social Alt Text has descriptions in regards to the topic of each page (apologies but the script is too hefty to transcribe it all into the alt text, I hope that's okay).

Pg 2: Hypnosis in Media A breakdown of the history and fascination we've had with Hypnosis. We've been fascinated by altered states of consciousness for a very long time. Whether it's assisted by discipline, meditation, therapy, or good old fashioned drugs, humanity has explored why losing our cognitive faculties for all sorts of reasons. Some to attain enlightenment, others to explore the nature of free will and choice, and how it affects our behaviors, and some to even alter their dreaming and perception of reality. If you're like myself, it can be very very fun. We've had stories of hypnosis depicted in mythology, like sirens and vampires. in classic literature of people ensnared by charismatic antagonists. More recently, it's become a very easy to play with trope in children's media for cartoons, comics, and otherwise. What's a better dramatic intrigue than 'oh no! the hero is now the bad guy! what will we do?' Of course, some people took an interest to this in a much further step, and like to play these scenarios out for themselves. This isn't inherently wrong, some people have fun playing the bad guy much like we did when we were young. It just means that there are themes which can be construed as harmful if not adequately discussed and if only casually observed from the outside. What awakened your interest in hypnosis?

Page 3: Trust Like any exciting hobby, there's always a little preparation to be had so you can make sure your adventure is fun and safe! The hypnosis community has a lot of wonderful people eager to show you a wonderful time. Their interests are varied and vibrant. But you might not know what you're looking for right away. Some early subjects want to dive in as deep as possible and treat it all like it's some kind of magic. But Hypnosis is a skill that you train with yourself and whomever you decide to be your partner on this journey. So if you plan to dance this dance, It's good to make sure you are trying it with someone that's on the same page as you. Much of hypnosis is dependent on the individual that's going under. The hypnotist is just guiding you after all. That being said, since a person is capable of believing all sorts of things, It can also be easy to believe this all has an otherworldly magical quality to it. If you take part in this, Acknowledge that you are going into a space where the lines of consent can get a little blurry, especially when you are becoming receptive to commands and ideas. So it's important to make sure that the person (or file) you are working with has your best interests in heart. If you're a hypnotist, this means making sure the person you want to bring under can handle what you are planning to try with them, and communicating clearly what you both want out of the experience. Transparency is key. Trance responsibly!

Page 4: Building Rapport Finding a subject or hypnotist is a lot like dating. You might dabble at the beginning to test the waters, get to know them a little bit. Sometimes it's a great fit. other times they're just not right for you. And we've all had that nightmare date once in a while... That's not to say every hypnotist plans to do something unscrupulous. Sometimes the people you meet just have a different method of hypnosis that doesn't suit you. or tastes that don't align with yours. That's more than okay. Trust isn't just about finding someone that respects your boundaries and limitations, it's also about opening up in a way that you can believe they'll catch you if you find yourself off balance. So if you find someone that might be talking about things outside your comfort zone, speak up. Your potential hypnosis partner needs to be informed of how you're feeling. Not every red flag is a sign of malicious intent, talk it out with them if you have any concerns. For example, plenty of people love playing dress up in trance! But Lager here specifically isn't really into that kind of thing. Simply telling her he's not a good fit for her before they started doing any hypnosis was more than enough to avoid an awkward exchange. Like any relationship, Communication is one of the pillars of building that trust. Trance responsibly!

Pg 5: The Pre-Talk So. How do you prepare for hypnosis? For some of you, you might have already experienced it without ever realizing it. The mind is a pretty chaotic and complicated thing, it's part of one of our most complex organs after all. Hypnosis, much like meditation or exercise, is a skill that can be trained with practice. But if you plan to be doing it for recreation, it helps to get a clear understanding of what you hope to accomplish with your Hypnotist/subject. Consent is king, even if you are in the process of trying to make a fantasy where you lose it. here's a few questions you can consider asking. These are merely suggestions, but it can be a healthy thing to get used to talking about before you start figuring out what you want out of Hypnosis. Hypnotist: 1. have you been hypnotized before? 2. What are you expecting out of hypnosis? 3. Are you free of distractions, or is there a chance something might come up? 4. are you easily startled? 5. Do you typically find yourself easily distracted or have a hard time focusing? 6. Is there anything about your physical or mental well being you feel I should know about? (depression, anxiety, bipolar, etc.) 7. Do you have any fears or soft/hard limit to topics I should avoid in my descriptions? (deep water, heights, darkness, etc.) 8. What concerns do you have about trance that I could answer for you? Subject: • Should I be sitting or laying down? • Should I play music? • Is there a swirl I can look at or can I close my eyes? • Will I remember anything in trance? • Is it okay if there's other people in the house? • Should I not go under if I do have anxiety/depression/other conditions? • do I need to strictly control my breathing? • Should I let a friend know I am doing hypnosis? • Are files the same as what we'll be doing?

Darkwitt and Lager talk about what this comic is about. Hypnosis, its pitfalls, and how to enjoy it safely and happily.

Hypnosis has always been a fascination in Media, Literature, and Mythology. In modern interpretations, a few get inspired by it from cartoons. as Hypnosis and mind control are often fodder for stories wanting to turn the protagonists into enemies for a short while, or just having them pretend they're chickens. art by Lager.

Before you even begin dealing with deeper hypnosis techniques. it's good to get to know the person you plan to go under with. Sometimes a reputation isn't enough. what may be great for another person might not be a good fit for you. This goes for both hypnotists and subjects. Some Hypnotists have an idea of what they want that might not fit your tastes, and some subjects are eager to lose themselves into the fantasy a little too much. art by Lager

It's important to get familiar with the person you plan to do sessions with. Some people might have interests that don't match with yours. some might have a style of hypnosis that might make you uncomfortable. on the other side, a subject might have conditions or prior instances that might make them request things way beyond what you are capable/comfortable with providing. Also some just might end up being inexperienced or prone to slip ups. I can't pretend I haven't had a few of those myself. Art by Lager

#FurryHypnosis #Hypnosis "Should I Get Sleepy?" is an informational comic talking about the hypnosis community and those who are a little interested in getting some experience with it.

It's a work in progress, but if you have any questions you'd like answered, I may add them to the comic.

I used to be so reluctant and anxious to draw BGs.

But now... I'm actually REALLY enjoying it! I've finally found a painting technique that makes it easier so I don't have to freehand everything (which I'll still do from time to time)

Almost makes me want to try traditional acrylic or oil painting

Here is a comm I ordered from the wonderful @lagergoaty.bsky.social last year!

Art depicts a scene in the cozy living room at the first person view with the jungle book playing in the TV at the centre of the room. Noticeable thing to note is that the screen is glitching causing the viewer to be confused about it.

Scene continues with character Kaa from jungle book emerging from the TV. Kaa is speaking to the viewer while slightly hovering over the TV counter. “Well well what’s this? I didn’t realise I had an audience…” “Mind if I let myself in? I simply must get better look at you…” Kaa speaks with a elongated speech, his says s sounding words longer like his hissing.

Kaa has now slithered down from the counter to the floor with his neck slightly raised up to look at the viewer better while still speaking to them in a casual manner. “Hmmm. Surprised? Perhaps you underestimated my size” “I can show you just how much there is.” His body is still coming out of the TV, showing how long he his.

Kaa is getting closer to the viewer, his coils leaving trail from him slithering side to side. Kaa has his head tilted with his tongue sticking out of his parted mouth, one of Kaa’s eyes has changed from his usual yellow to hypnotic rings. “Oh don’t get up on my account, little one” “Just stay right where you are…and look deep into my eyes.” Edges of the viewers vision are slightly blurred with similar colours that Kaa hypnotic eye has. Yellow, blue and violet.

First part 4/8 of Kaa PoV Comic!
Kaa is finally here and ready to give you all a deep hug with his coils~

Give me a ring!

We see hypnosis often used for control, manipulate, sometimes even to destroy the minds of the hypnotized.

But hypnosis can be a tool for building too. To nurture, and to help those in need. So I decided to make Positive Hypno for this year's #hypnovember !

Hope you all like it!
