My quest: To become a hypnotist.

I'd like to become a hypnotist. My own way. By merely following my instincts. Not by reading 'how to' books. I'm interested. In only hypnotizing myself. Into a tranquil and totally relaxed state of being. I'm experimenting. I'm succeeding. To some degree.  My elbow. Propped on the desk top. Pencil in hand. Using the tip. To gently and lightly stroke my forehead. The pencil tip slowly wanders. All over my face. Tickles my sideburns. Meanders around. To the back of my neck. My eyes remain closed.  The touch becomes lighter and lighter. Barely touching my skin. I'm breathing. Long and deep breaths. Slowly, slowly exhaling. I'm feeling good. Makes me wonder. If I'm in a hypnotic trance. --Jim Broede
