I got a request to discuss the topic of self-hypnosis and how it is a powerful tool for redeveloping our inner-game, so here it is. Self-hypnosis is a form of meditation. It is the art of slowing the mind, going inside, and reprogramming our otherwise automatic subconscious behaviors. There are many different methods. This is just one with a focus geared toward pickup. I'm going to demonstrate how to create a pickup model and reprogram all of your behaviors through self-hypnosis. All it takes is your will and intent to do it. It requires you to confront your deepest insecurities, delete them (akin to "wiping your hard drive"), and then upload a new model. We are going to use the meta-model analogy and think of our minds, for our sake here, as simply complex computing machines running elaborate programs. If you can understand the digital analogy it shouldn't be too hard to follow. There's three steps to this method of self-hypnosis: 1) relaxation, 2) visualization, and 3) calibration. Most PUAs should be well familiar with calibration, but maybe not relaxation and visualization so much.. Here's what I mean, it's an exercise and it must be practiced regularly to be developed.

<b>STEP ONE: RELAX THE BODY.</b>

Take in a few deep breaths and take a minute to relax your body. You can be sitting, laying down, it doesn't matter as long as you are relaxed and comfortable. Practice both ideally. If you get good at this pretty soon you'll find yourself doing it automatically as you walk about during the day. Anyway, you begin by focusing on your breath. Breath deeply. Breath slowly over longer and longer periods of time until you slow your breath to a nearly silent inhalation and exhalation. If you can actually achieve silence while breathing you are indeed very relaxed. Now I'm going to include here some Chinese Qigong (pronounced "Chi Kung") as it relates a lot to this subject and can help the practitioner understand the process better. In Qigong there is a saying. It goes: "The Yi leads the Qi." Qi, pronounced "chee," is an energetic essence that is part bioelectric and part something undefined. When we relax our body we are going to flush every cell with this energetic force by focusing our intent. Here's how.

Now that you've taken a minute to relax your body by breathing deeply and slowly and focusing on your breath, you are now going to shift your focus to your feet. Focus on your toes. Imagine that water is pouring in through your toes. Become aware first of the surface of your skin at the bottom of your feet. Don't move your attention from your feet until you begin to feel them tingle with energy. What you are doing is focusing your Yi (wisdom mind) to lead your Qi (bioelectricity/energetic essence) to your feet. In Qigong it is said that we have two minds in our head: a fire mind and a water mind. An active mind and a passive mind. An emotional mind (Xin) and a wisdom mind (Yi). The goal of Qigong training is to tame the emotional mind with the wisdom mind. The emotional mind is likened to a horse or ape that must be tamed. This is done with the water mind, the mind of wisdom. The way this is done is by focusing one's intent to move the currents of bioelectric energy throughout the body at will. It is said that you are a general who must direct his army. You (the will, intent, focus of consciousness) are the general and the army is the Qi in your body. You must direct the Qi in your body by focusing your ATTENTION to a specific portion of your body. What you are going to do is slowly MOVE your attention once you have directed enough energy to that party of your body. When I say energy in this case, I mean Qi. It is the bioelectric current that stems from your nervous system that comes from your brain when you make a decision to say, move your finger or lift your arm.

So now that I've gone over some basic Qigong theory, let's return to the relaxation exercise. You were imagining your body was filling up with water starting with the feet. Remember this "imagining" process is very important. You need to have a strong imagination to make this work. If you don't. That's okay. You can build it and this is what this is for. We begin by visualizing in our minds that our body is being filled with water. But not only that more importantly to properly relax the body you must place your attention to the actual sensations of every portion of your body beginning with the feet. Now that we've focused on your feet long enough and really got the energy flowing in that direction, slowly lift your awareness and focus a little higher to your ankles. Visualize, imagine, and FEEL more and more water seeping into your body... slowly it is rising, up your shins, in your muscles, in your bones. Try to focus a flow coming from the core of your bones, to the muscle, the fascia, the flesh, the skin, out to your hair, your nails, and finally you should eventually feel intense heat being generated from inside your body if you do this correctly and it will flow a few feet out around you. This is your energetic aura. You might not be able to see it but it's there.

You are going to continually raise this awareness up your body.. to your knees.. your thighs, etc. Slowly bring up your awareness of this water seeping up your body now going through your groin and waist, your hips and buttox. Focus deeply on the base of your spine and try your best to imagine your spine filling up like a thin but long jug of water. Now as you reach your abdomen pay special attention first to your inner small intenstine, imagine a great ball of energy engulfing every crook and crany inside your guts, every spiral squishy part that's inside there... water is engulfing all of it... FEEL IT. Now allow this water to come up your arms and chest.. the fingers, the hands, the forearm, the elbow, your biceps, your triceps, shoulders, and shoulder blades. This whole time your spine should have been a prime focus and your whole back should be relaxed and flooded with this intense energy. Your whole body should feel as if completely submerged in water except your neck and head. Now slowly fill it all up, up the throat, filling in the chin, the back of the head, the nasal cavity, out to your cheeks and face, eyelids, your brain, focus on filling up your whole skull with this sensation up to the very top of your crown. Bask for a minute in this pleasant state. It's pretty nice. The more you practice the better you will get at it.

<b>STEP TWO: RELAX THE MIND/VISUALIZATION</b>

Don't let your mind go wild. This is difficult. It's about discipline. You are going to find a center and relax your mind. It's not about thinking about nothing. It's about just being in the moment and appreciating the present. It's good to be alive. Reflect on that for a bit. If you can't it means you are insecure about something. This is where this challenge begins. You will notice your mind is restless. Why? What is it that has your attention going this way or that way? You long for something. What is it? To be complete. What is it in this moment that keeps you from being complete? The answer is nothing. You are complete and whole right now at this very moment. This is the base meta-model of understanding your reality. We are going to move step by step and work through what I call "truth statements." These are statements we hold to be true about something. We give them a value of 1. Then there are false statements. We give these a value of 0. Like binary code. In your head are a bunch of presuppositions, assumptions, that create our models of reality or "frames." If you could look at it like a text of code it would look something like: 11010001100100101111011000101111001010. That is an inconsistent set. What we want is: 1111111111111111111111111111111. That is a consistent set of models that makeup a larger meta-model.

So basically what I'm teaching you so far is how to meditate. We haven't even got to the self-hypnosis part yet. Meditation is where you begin. Self-hypnosis is where you begin to reprogram. You are going to hypnotize yourself so-to-speak on things you want to be hypnotized about. Hypnosis just means to induce a sleep-like state or trance in which the individual has a heightened state of suggestion because the unconscious mind has been accessed. It's like running DOS and learning old legacy code to hack into the core of a computer. You are now in a state of heightened suggestion. Now you can reprogram yourself to do whatever it is you want to do. To give an example Olympic runners were told to visualize themselves running. They visualized step by step every motion, every moment, from the beginning of the race to the end, visualizing themselves winning and everything. This was done in a study and they found that the same portions of the brain fired when they did this during self-hypnosis as did when they actually ran. This means that the brain doesn't actually know that it's not running. It still acts like it is running because the person is visualizing and imagining that he/she is actually running. The brain doesn't know the difference. Your reality is literally what you imagine it to be. You might say your imagination is more powerful than you can imagine.

Another example. The Blue Angels also perform a visualization exercise in a small room before every show. These are top F-16 pilots who can't afford to make a mistake. They sit down together in a room and go through every movement and procedure literally with their eyes closed using self-hypnosis techniques. From take-off, to each flight ROUTINE, to the final landing and approach. They testify that if it wasn't for this visualization process they wouldn't be so on key and accurate with everything they do. This is the power of self-hypnosis. You are going to visualize yourself doing a task you want to do. When I first started this I wanted to learn to play guitar very well. So I played songs in my head. From start to finish. Every note, from beginning to end, I felt my fingers touching the strings, I saw myself performing, I saw myself succeeding. Whatever it is you want to do, the more mechanical and logical the task the easier it is to program. I'd imagine you could learn to clean and assemble fire arms, fly a plane, sky dive, or anything else if you knew how to break it down. You could do a million things with this skill. As for PUAs, you are going to install the PUA model very slowly and carefully by seeing yourself doing all the techniques one by one.

See yourself opening, cold-reading and transitioning, DHVing, negging, qualifying, kino escalating, continually calibrating her comfort, seducing her, and finally the full ecstacy of success. See yourself doing it all from start to finish. Feel what it feels like RIGHT NOW to have that success RIGHT NOW. What does that feel like? Good doesn't it?! Feel that right now, there's no reason you have to wait for happiness. Get that into the core of your model. Be happy NOW. That's how everything changed for me when I began this so many years ago. It begins with beginning your day with a smile and telling yourself "I'm going to have a good day today." If you don't do this, you are not setting this frame for yourself. If you do this, your subconscious mind will begin to pull things around you that do in fact make you have a good day. This is where it begins. Live in the present moment and find the goodness around you right now. Find that happiness inside yourself and you will never have a need to have it outside of you. You won't need anything because you'll already have found everything you needed inside yourself. Now that is what I call Inner-Game.

The real details come when you get more and more field experience. You'll catch your mistakes quicker and calibrate on the spot. Then you go back into self-hypnosis and you have more images to draw from and more situations to work with to build that imagery. Where you will really need to spend a lot of time when you begin this process is ironing out ALL your old memories from as far back as you can remember to the present. If you want to be 100% and get everything you can out of yourself and squeeze every resource of potential your mind can grant you, you will analyze your whole life as a sequence of events that happened logically one after another leading to where you are now. In this process you'll see that you never made a mistake. You only learned and calibrated. There are no mistakes only lessons learned and this is the best example of that. Once you install the PUA model you'll figure out what you did wrong in every previous situation and upgrade your game overnight. You'll calibrate much faster this way.

The PUA model you need to upload:

The Attraction Cycle:

DHV/neg---> Qualify
^---------[repeat]

DHV on these 3 things: 1) Preoccupation, 2) Preselection, and 3) Leadership. Say this outloud, "I am a preoccupied, preselected, leader." When you're meditating and in a hypnotic state just think of all the things you have already said in your life, from your experience, that fall under these categories. Set them up and associate as many routines as you can with these categories. Build as many DHV routines where you FTC ("I only got a minute but.." "hey real quick-" etc), talk about your many girlfriends, and how people follow you everywhere (a natural quality of a leader). Understand the importance of A2/A3 and the game of qualification. See yourself not showing interest until she's earned it then rewarding her with an appropriately UNIQUE compliment. That's all the verbal stuff.

Then make sure you get the nonverbal in there really well. As a matter of fact I recommend all newbs begin with nonverbal skills before verbal skills. Focus on your walk and swagger before anything else. Walk like you mean it. I tell everybody to watch Cesar Milan's "Dog Whisperer" show until what he says really sinks in. Learn to be a pack leader. Make this the core of your body language. When you get yourself into a hypnotically suggestive state see yourself walking in the attraction location, the venue, and feel the vibes going your way. Run the sets and focus on your body posture and showing disinterest. I don't think a lot of newbs understand disinterest should be your default badass cocky/funny mode. You should always been in a cocky/funny disinterested state. This is passive game mode. When you find a target on your radar your state will change to active game. You are still in a cocky/funny disinterested state. Only now we have movement. You're taking aim and traditionally you go straight in to disarm all the obstacles. If you don't have any interesting esoteric information to share that is going to enlighten your audience you can always go in with bullshit. If your game is tight it really shouldn't matter what material you use. All that matters is who's leading the tribe.

Anyway that's enough for tonight.. er today rather... handling AMOGs and isolating are obviously part of the model. Everybody keeps asking how important it is to get the Venusian Handbook. It has the model I am describing. Does that answer your question? Take what I just taught you with self-hypnosis and read that book and upload the model inside that book. You'll be gaming properly in weeks the way you always wanted. Most guys aren't out to conquer every woman they see, they just want someone they can relate to in their social circle. But for some of us we find it difficult to stay so grounded when every so many weeks we continually upgrade our social value by increasing our skillsets. Anyway its all part of the game. O ya I almost forgot to mention step three!

<b>STEP THREE: CALIBRATION</b>

This is something that is going to happen in-field. The more you use your self-hypnosis techniques the more access you will have to your subconscious mind while in a normal state of wakeful consciousness. So when you're out gaming at the club you can instantly remember that one time you did that one thing and it didn't work.. So you definitely have to try something else. Try this. Do it now! Bam you just calibrated... did it work? Compare. Contrast. Analyze. Reformulate. Rehearse. Perform. I'm a performing musician. There are 3 things I have to do to prepare for a show. I have to: 1) Practice, 2) Rehearse, 3) Perform. The same could be said of the Venusian Arts. You have to practice learning new routines, probably just by figuring out what would be interesting to say from everything that you have already learned in your life. If it's something specific like palm reading, you'll practice by learning the categories or responses you can cold-read her about, etc. You can do this all in a normal state of wakeful consciousness. Then you rehearse your material. Traditionally this is done in normal wakeful consciousness, but it's slow compared to when you do it in a relaxed hypnotic state. So during self-hypnosis you rehearse ALL your routines and material you got. It's all about REHEARSAL. Rehearse rehearse rehearse!!!

The key to good rehearsal and preparation is tonality and expression. Once you rehearse everything in a hypnotic state, when you rehearse it in a wakeful state it'll be 10 times easier. Now when you do it in a normal state focus on speaking deeply from the gut making your vocal chords vibrate as deeply and closely to barry white as you can. Practice this as much as you can. Get the deepest tone and vibration you can out of your voice. Then learn to speak slowly, patiently, you got time don't worry, most importantly speak with a rhythm. Like. This. It's. Okay. To. Speak. Slowly. People. Will. Listen. Learn to be talkative. Speak your mind. As you do this you will be challenged to clean up your thinking (not in terms of sexual connotations) but in terms of not DLVing.

If being talkative proves to be a challenge because you DLV too much it means you haven't worked through your insecurities enough. Go back to just meditating and appreciating the present moment. What you will notice if you speak your mind well tho is that you are connecting your conscious mind with your subconscious mind that most people rarely become aware of. You get tons more information to work with and if you thought you could never be creative and witty you'll see all that was stopping you was some patience to listen to what your mind was already telling you. This is why I write so much and why people get pissed at a lot of things I say. I'm just intune with that rambling voice inside.. and as long as you can bring him on the outside and let him hang.. a woman won't care what it is you say as long as you lead the way.

More later. Good night. Or good morning. Whatever. Hope you enjoyed what I had to share.

Happy sarging!

Thanks so much i really needed this thanks alot i have found out that when i visualize most of the things that i visualize about mostly come true. I wanted to say thanks and sometimes when im talking with other people I tend to have thoughts that tell me what to do next but sometimes i dont do them and when i dont do them i wish i had done them, how do i do it so i can speak my mind easily and trust my thoughts more?

Wow. Thanks for the compliments. Your welcome.

Let me expand a little bit on what it means to practice, rehearse, and perform. For music when you practice something you focus on the easy parts first then work through the hard parts very, very slowly. When you come up to a measure or bar that is difficult to play what do you do? You play it slowly to tempo over and over again without missing a beat. You REPEAT constantly until finally you iron out the measure and slowly increase tempo. Once your rhythm is correct you can play faster more accurately with no problem. When you practice you are picking out techniques, studying theory and applying it to your playing. This is practice... sometimes you might focus on vibrato, sometimes your scales, sometimes you will study a cover and imitate an artist you like and who's style you appreciate. All of this has a correlation with pickup. You go through lists and lists of ideas about what routines would work good for you. You pick out the ones that seem most relevant and would be good at. Then you focus on them and internalize them just like normal and also using self-hypnosis techniques. Good practice begins with researching your field of interest before anything else.

Once you have a routine of what kindof material you practice with (there is a stack of research material you should always be studying and installing) you then have to rehearse it BEFORE you perform it. Don't do this the same day before you go out. Spend time to do this. It's like practicing a musical instrument. Only you are exercising on your "game" not on your guitar. Game is a cognitive faculty in your head that you are developing. It is like a muscle. If you don't use it you'll lose it. So make it stronger and keep it fit and tight. You should have material for every portion of the sarge. During self-hypnosis you will spend some time visualizing the perfect sarge. However you will also go back and relive old memories where you felt you should have done something different. During self-hypnosis visualize yourself doing something different and achieving success. If you still don't achieve success in the field after a similar sort of situation arose, recalibrate and keep trying something different. The important thing is that you change and keep trying different things. If you keep doing the same thing you'll keep getting what you've got. If you can't figure out what you're doing wrong you may have an error in your model. Go back to fundamentals.

There are 3 parts of a man's inherent game. They are: Inner-Game, Outer-Game, and Spitting Game. Inner and Outer game are both nonverbal. Spitting Game is obviously the verbal part, it is overall the most active part of the game; it's the part you direct and get what you desire. However, inner and outer game is where you should really be starting if you're a real newb. The reason so many newbs have trouble getting started and getting out there in the field is because they know they have major deficiencies in either their inner or outer game or maybe both. Therefore, how should they expect to be confident enough to even spit game? Most mPUAs suggest the newb just jump from a plane and get his feet wet. This works and I agree with the sink or swim kindof thing forces a novice to learn and it has its pros.. I mean it is the oldest approach to learning anything: just get out and do it. Ok. That works. But it lacks finesse imho, it's kinda like using a mallet and being sloppy when you could've just used a hammer but were too lazy to look around and consider your options. You start with inner-game. Then you work on your outer-game. Then you finish up and polish with spitting game. In that order.

You need to be assertive and show initiative in a majority of all interactions you partake in from this moment forth. You don't have to alpha dog everybody all the time, just let everybody know that you are running the show and they are in your presence at your leisure. If you exude this sort of alpha vibe your inner-game will come in no time. Start with your social circle. Your family. Your friends. Once you run your social circle and direct your friends everything will begin to fall in place. You will have a context to place new friendships into your life. You'll see how everything starts to fit. Then you build on that and expand your social circle. I am the youngest in my family. And yet I have the respect of people older than me because I look out for them. I am alpha of my tribe. That is the number one thing that you must accomplish before even having to worry about trying to be a competent sarger. First you need to be a competent leader in your own social circle. If you don't have the respect of your family and friends how do you expect to have the respect of females you try to sarge?

Start with what's comfortable to you. If you're not familiar with venues it's time you desensitize yourself to them. I still remember the first time I walked into a bar. I was by myself. I had never done it before. I was 21. It was time. The PUA manual hadn't even been released yet, I had never heard of the pickup arts. I just walked in knowing I had to get over this fear of social environments. I walked in. Checked the place out. And I had a seat at the bar. I asked for a drink. When I got it some lady I wasn't even talking to nor interested in said that she didn't want the drink.. she looked at me like I had got it for her.. Ya right.. I didn't know at the time I was being opened. I had no idea what game was. I didn't care at the time. I just wanted to get out and try someting new. This is what I mean. You have to start somewhere. Nowadays I'm used to being seen with a ladyfriend, my date for the week or whoever, I even get to demonstrate preselection over a lot of girls I used to be interested in but was too shy to seduce. Now I'm on their list of guys that like to play. The more and more you build that reputation around town people will talk about you. Girls gossip like crazy believe me.. lol. Pretty soon you're deciding who to call, who not to call, and who's calls not to answer.

O ya so I wanted to talk about how to blast your insecurities..

<b>HOW TO BLAST YOUR INSECURITIES:</b>

You must become an uncomprimisingly blunt and critical prick to yourself and confront everything you are afraid of. Study NLP and this will become easy to understand. It's about looking in the mirror and asking "Who am I?" And coming up with something amazing to answer that with. If you don't think you're amazing then hey everybody else is a lot less likely to believe you are amazing. I remember this AFC talking behind my back in college, to my face he'd kiss my ass (cuz I'm alpha) but he'd talk shit about me because he said I thought I was "so cool." I was more social and apparently he wasn't so he envied me. It doesn't mean you are conceited. It just means you know your value. You can't be afraid of haters. Haters are everywhere. If someone ain't hating on your style it means you ain't got a style to get hated on. Haters are an indicator of your success. Remember that. Take it with the terrority and prepare to handle all challenges to your status. Sometimes this comes in the form of a physical confrontation. Prepare for it. Study martial arts. I recommend Wing Chun Kung Fu as the most effective defensive technique to learn in the shortest period of time. You need to prepare yourself for both challenges to your inner-game (a set of "securities") and your outer game (another set of "securities").

You have two security systems: an inner and an outer. People will try to challenge you physically and mentally. The reason these two security systems exist is to protect you from death and to ensure survival. The wrong mental information can drive you mad and cause you to make a bad decision and actually kill you. Some people are good at this and we call them liars... believe it or not some people actually convince other people to kill other people for them for dominance and power. Anyway I don't mean to get all philosophical about the subject.. but hey you get to a point with this knowledge you can see huge patterns everywhere it begins to drive you a little crazy... ANYWAY.. It's important to figure out when we're in danger so approach anxiety as Mystery has mentioned time and time again is hard-wired into us so we don't get killed by sarging the wrong female who might be owned by some psycho AMOG. The way to overcome this anxiety is to not give a shit about any AMOG. The way to do that is to disarm his physical prowess over you. Outer game is not only appearance, it's action and body language. Though it is your inner game that informs your outer game (movements, etc).

Like I said earlier, I would have to say for myself what really helped me change my attitude was the martial arts. Wing Chun is a beautiful art. I'd teach it to you guys through pictures and videos if I didn't want to keep my anonymity but unfortunately you'll just have to wait to meet me in person. I might just start teaching my own method of it when I move to the big city... Idk.. But anyway the only way to really overcome your insecurites and blast the shit out of them is to know you can handle yourself physically and mentally, and eventually I also believe spiritually but that's a sensitive subject. You really have to CONFRONT your fears. Whenever you hear yourself say "I can't do that" ask yourself "why not?" Do it and see what the consequences will be. Don't be afraid of not being accepted. Just be yourself. If people don't like you and call you an asshole, a prick, or a dick. Be proud of it, proclaim your assholeship!

You might not really be one, you might be a gentle soul deep down inside, but hey us guys got our protective prick shield just like girls have their protective bitch shield. It serves a purpose. It's to protect us from idiots that want to bring us down. I ain't got time for that. I'm a happy person looking for a good time. If someone is going to hate on me, insult me, or try to AMOG me yes I have to alpha the fucker back. Sometimes it does come to fisticuffs but like I said that lacks finesse. You want style. You want to be able to handle every situation with words. This takes practice. It is an artform. Some call it verbal jiu jitsu. Just agree with the guy, tell him he's right and congratulate him for his effort to understand where you're coming from. That's it. You can get out of anything everytime without making people's faces bleed. But believe me you have to be prepared to protect yourself physically. It's the only way to truly be alpha and confident at all times. I know I can protect myself. That knowledge is not only lethal, it is downright sexy. Females can sense I don't fear any other man when they are around me. And the funny thing is I'm only 5'4".

<b>NONVERBAL JOKES</b>

If you can get her laughing without even speaking you are doing something really, really right. After reading the Mystery Method in November of last year I vegged month after month on the couch just watching Comedy Central. I studied how comedians make their eyes look like they're going to pop out when they tell the punch line. I learned that the key to good comedy is surprise endings or just surprise in general. It doesn't matter what it is as long as it's unexpected it should be funny. Learn to use your eyebrows, your cheeks, time those crackups. Learn to crack yourself up... become a humorous person. Smile more often. If you make yourself this super fun personality it makes your take aways and freeze outs SO MUCH more powerful because you will actually cause discomfort in her when she loses your interest.. It'll fuck with her real bad. It's like denying a crack addict their crack.. man O man don't get between a woman and her dopamine levels. If she knows you can hit her pleasure switches consistently she won't leave you alone... Afterall who else does she know who can do this?

The only real way to speak your mind easily is to trust yourself. If you don't trust your thoughts it means you don't trust yourself. This is what it means to face your insecurities. Once you are secure you will trust yourself and therefore the part of yourself that has thoughts and therefore you will trust your thoughts. You already know what to do. You just need to quiet your mind and get rid of all that insecure brain chatter "what if I do this or that wrong?" kindof stuff needs to go out the window. Just know that what makes something easy is knowing there is a solution. There is a solution to everything. I honestly believe that. If I didn't I wouldn't have gotten as far as I've gotten. To every question there is an answer. You won't get an answer though if you don't ask the question in the first place. Start with speaking what you are thinking. You always begin this process in private. Don't worry you are not crazy lots of people talk to themselves all the time. As a matter of fact talking to myself is a major part of my method and technique of programming my subconscious mind. Once you start speaking your mind to yourself you begin to have a chance to at least start to sort out 1) your insecurities, 2) your DLVs, and 3) there is no number three I just like making lists of three things at a time.. lol. No actually you will also begin to sort out all of your routines including good openers, cold-reads, DHV stories about being a 1) preoccupied, 2) preselected, 3) leader, negs, and qualification routines. That's really all there is to spitting game. After that it's all seduction and kino escalation. Comfort is actually an extension of the Attraction Cycle. A lot of guys forget this and don't maintain attraction levels during comfort by throwing in some DHVs and negs and making her jump through some small qualfication hoops from time to time.

I gtg to dinner! There was something I was going to go over why becoming a word smith by studying etymology has helped me but I gotta run.. Will write more later. I hope that answered some of your questions.

Wow Eyecrush, those two posts are amazing. Thanks a lot for your effort, this was really helpful. Your Qi Gong relaxation method is very well described. It helped me a lot, that I am studying martial arts myself and am familiar with the terms. I agree, that visualization is a very powerful tool and I will try out the stuff that you suggest here. Catch you later, Nemo
