Q&A3

 Q&A4
Is it bad if I want to become a pony forever? ~Skittles
    I’m split on this one.  On one hand, I’ve had many problems in my life because I denied my dream and did what society said.  On the other hand, if I hadn’t done what society said,
I wouldn’t have gotten a chance to eventually work on my dream.  I can see both sides...
    Here is what I would say.  Never, ever, give yourself over 100% to any action.  Always be willing to pull back. Think about it seriously first, in whatever terms you must.  Do you love anyone more than yourself?  If so, imagine their reaction to meeting you as a pony.  Are you willing to deal with the lifestyle, the psychiatrists, and the loneliness?
    I haven’t met all that many people in this world, so you could be the first, but I’ve never met someone willing to give everything else up for a personal dream.  A public dream, sure, but not a personal one.  I’d think about this for a few weeks before you take the last step.

Another question would be, “Does doing something while listening to the ‘voices’ affect the hypnosis in any way?” ~Skittles
There are a few things which affect the end result. The voices need to be understandable, even if you don’t listen to every word.  You can do other things, but you shouldn’t if the file has an induction (loops are okay).  Even with loops, be careful.  Trance state is not good for your attention; anything you wouldn’t feel safe doing while tired, you shouldn’t do while listening to file.  I’ve gotten away with walking around while listening to a loop, but sometime even I don’t fully block a line and end up stumbling when the “It is getting harder to walk on two legs” line.
With the induction files, while actively help you into a trance, you should try to be in a quiet place with no distractions.  I think everyone should try the trance or overnight loop first, and only play with waking loops secondarily.

I'm really...intrigued by well...everything. I've been reading your blog and...and...this is just fascinating. I have SO MANY questions every day. You would not believe. And, I was wondering, how just HOW. How's the best way to get into trance? How do I make my own triggers if the original triggers don't work? Can there be a point where I can SEE my hooves? I can feel the hooves, but when I look at them, they return to hands or feet . So much to learn. Where do I start? Can you help me? Please?


WOW, dem questions! OKAY, crack the knuckles, lets do this!

How is the best way to trance?
Trancing is all about calming body and mind, and a good trance is one which does that without putting you to sleep.  Thus, all trances should be done in a comfortable position, one you can stay in for a half hour (preferably longer) before it becomes uncomfortable.  You mind needs to be calm or calmable; if you had any major worries, better to deal with them first.  Once you are calm, just follow the induction instructions.  Inductions bring you to trance states indifferent ways, and there are more methods of trancing then there are inductions!

How do I make my own triggers if the original don't work?
The major thing is whether you want to make them while trancing or while awake.  The first requires you be good at trancing already, the latter takes more time.  For the first, whenever you hear a line that you want triggered, say your trigger phrase (in your mind or out loud).  You need to convince yourself, to KNOW, that you speaking the word is what makes that line work.  The second method, the conscious one, works the same way, except that you need to repeat the association more often so that your subconscious believes it to.
An example of a self made trigger is my lower hoof trigger.  I spent two days with the Twi loop running (20 hours in all)  every hour I'd imagine my legs becoming those of an anthro, intentionally imagining the feelings and shape as it changed.  It was a slow process at first, but eventually I could do it easily, even while walking.  Now, i can swap between in around 1 minutes.  The trigger is a mental one, mentally building a hoof, but my mind knows what beginning the process means so it complies and helps as much as possible.

Can there be a point where I can SEE my hooves?
Absolutely!  That said, most people have too much fear in their mind to allow it, so it is an uncommon thing.  You must be very willing to change your body and leave memories aside, etc.  However, it can be done.  I recently got a report from someone who had used the Perfectly Suggestible file and previous to their normal file, dropped into a deep trance, and when they awoke seen their own muzzle.  Also, I've heard that Rarity (the one who runs the forums) has mastered this, but I've never questioned her myself.
As for HOW to do this, that is simple.  First, think about any reason why you might fear seeing them.  If there are some fears, you'll need to ... well... get rid of them.  Second, practice imagining what your hoofs might look like from your point of view, just so that you have a good idea.  Then, while under trance (and without looking at your hoofs), remember that picture and 'attach' it to your legs.  Lift your legs, hold the illusion until you can't believe it any more, and repeat.  When you KNOW what your hoofs should look like, they will look that way :D. (Tulpamancers might recognize this style of forcing a perception onto the environment).

Keep asking for questions, I can clarify more where ever you need it!
