"Before we begin, I'd like to describe the goals we're going to be working to achieve with today's session. If these goals don't interest you, or if you don't feel safe and comfortable with them, you can simply make the choice to stop listening and find a different experience to enjoy. You are always in control of your trance state, and any suggestions you hear will only apply if you feel safe and comfortable accepting them.

"The goal of today's trance is to train you to develop physical arousal on command, to a degree controlled by a hypnotist you trust. There are no specific hypnotic triggers I'm asking you to accept--we're going to teach your mind to recognize situations that are invitations to experience hypnotically induced sexual arousal, and to enjoy those experiences when they occur. This is more flexible and open-ended than a trigger, and may result in you feeling pleasant sensations unexpectedly... although, again, only when it is safe and comfortable for you to do so.

"Although there are points in this session where you may be encouraged to pay less conscious attention to the hypnotist, there are no direct amnesia suggestions incorporated into this session, and no suggestions or triggers that are intended to be forgotten after the session is over. Even so, spontaneous amnesia does happen to some people during hypnosis, so you may find yourself experiencing difficulty recalling details of the trance experience. If you enjoy forgetting your trances, your mind is going to work to make that happen. You have permission to remember or to forget as much of this session as you want--again, within the boundaries of what is safe and comfortable for you.

"This particular induction involves the use of a lit candle and flame imagery in order to accomplish the goals described for this session. If you believe that you would experience an unwanted emotional reaction in response to such imagery, then it would probably be best not to read further or to skip to the end in order to get an idea of the suggestions that are being implanted and use them in conjunction with another induction.

"This session contains permissive language directing you to disrobe and touch yourself, although not necessarily in a sexual manner. If you believe you will have difficulty resisting these instructions, please wait until you have some privacy to begin. If you do not feel safe or comfortable following any of the described suggestions or instructions, this would be a good place for you to stop. Otherwise, please get comfortable for me so that we can begin.

"I'd like you to begin by creating a small, simple warmth inside your mind. You can picture it as a candle if you like, a simple white candle on a simple wooden table in an otherwise dark room. The flame is steady and even, burning brightly and cheerfully with that yellow-white flame that gives off such nice, soothing light, but if you look closely at it you can begin to see a shimmering flicker right around the edges. And that flicker contains other colors, beautiful colors that you begin to see as you focus your imagination on the candle in your head.

"That very outermost layer of the flame, the layer that shimmers and dances every time you try to fix your gaze on it and makes your eyes begin to get tired with the strain... you can see how that's a beautiful warm orange, almost red. Perhaps if you look a little closer, stare right at the very edge of the flickering fire and let yourself notice nothing but the pretty candle in your mind, you can imagine seeing that true, deep red color. It looks like the color behind your eyelids when you let them sink shut, that lovely shade of carnal red that reminds you of pulsebeats and the quickening of your heart.

"That's where your arousal can begin, with that red outer flame. It looks so hot as it shimmers and dances and beckons your attention closer and closer, but you already know that it's the coolest layer of flame there is. If it reminds you of that warm feeling you get when the blood rushes to your face because your body is feeling the first flushes of sexual heat, well... you can already imagine that there are so many more layers of deeper desire beyond that, can't you? That feverish feeling on your skin, that tension that tightens up your whole body as you fixate on the object of your affections and enjoy those first tingling stirrings of physical lust... that's only the beginning. There's so much more to enjoy.

"And you can begin to enjoy those feelings more and more as you allow your attention to drift deeper and deeper into the flame, deeper down from flickering red to a smoother, shimmering orange. The candle burns a little bit brighter here, a little bit hotter, and that brightness is already beginning to make everything but the candle seem dark and cool and distant by comparison. Everything is fading away as you sink into the warmth, leaving only the candle and my words to light the way deeper into relaxation and pleasure. And that may be all you need to intensify that sensation of arousal as you stare at the orange glow and imagine what it would be like to be hypnotized just like this, to experience the hot tingling bliss of surrendering your mind to another person's control as you let go and focus on the candle.

"Or maybe you want to give your mind something to lock onto, a physical stimulus to go with that mental sensation of squirming, drifting pleasure that's so clear and bright and vivid in your memories now as you sink from the warm orange to the smoothly burning yellow flame. Maybe you want to remind your body just what it feels like to stroke and rub that flushed, tingling skin and feel that need grow stronger and stronger. If you'd like to begin doing that now, just lightly touching yourself and enjoying the feeling that comes along with it, you can do that. You can also take off your clothes to find more intimate places to touch, if it's safe and comfortable for you to do so, and stay relaxed and focused on your journey deeper into the center of the candle.

"That makes it even better, even easier to sink down and down and down into the warm depths of that soft yellow flame. It's so much hotter here, like that pleasant point of no return where the rest of the world finally fades away and all you want to think about is sex and lust and desire. You can remember easily and effortlessly what that's like, what it feels like when the rest of your brain shuts down and you focus completely on making that feeling burn brighter in your mind and body. Maybe you're remembering a lover in your past who knew just how to touch you to make your nerves sing with arousal, or maybe you're thinking about a time when you explored yourself and found the perfect spot to turn you on. Or perhaps you're just imagining that feeling. Whatever makes you most aroused is exactly the right thing to do.

"You can feel the signals your body sends when you're turned on like this, the physical and mental signs that you feel so hot and good and all you want is more sexual pleasure. The flush on your skin, the way that your pulse quickens and pounds as you begin to writhe and whimper with desire. The tingling in your nerves, getting stronger and stronger between your legs as your fingers find just the right places to touch to intensify that heat. The yellow flame in your mind burning hotter and brighter, the fire of the candle making you so sensitive and open to that need and that arousal and all the wonderful ways that it makes you want to keep going deeper.

"Perhaps your body is leading you on, telling you just where and how to touch to brighten that yellow flame into brilliant, vivid white. This close, it's like that white flame is enveloping your whole mind, like you're not seeing or thinking or noticing anything but the heat inside of you that drives you deeper into pleasure. All you want to do now is sink down, emptying out your thoughts more and more so that you can hold that sexual desire more and more brightly in your mind. You can see every step of the descent inside your head, perfectly clear and detailed, from gentle red through warm orange up through incandescent yellow. Any time you want to think of any point in that descent, all you need to do is remember the candle and it'll come back to you easily and effortlessly.

"And when you want to, with someone you feel safe and comfortable trusting, you can attach a trigger or an anchor to any of those wonderfully erotic sensations. Your deep self understands perfectly how to take that soft red flame of gentle arousal and connect it to a word, a taste, a caress on the skin in a certain spot. It's so easy to take that bright, vivid memory, blow it up nice and big until it's all around you, and then squeeze it together with the suggestion until one automatically leads to the other. Whether that's a different level of arousal for each command, or a single trigger that leads you inexorably and inevitably down into intense and irresistible need, your unconscious mind will understand exactly how to respond and do whatever makes it happen. So long as it's with someone you want to surrender that kind of control to.

"And perhaps just the thought of giving up that control to a special person in your life is enough to take you down deeper and deeper, to the very heart of the fire that burns with pleasure and lust and need and desire. Perhaps you can see it behind your eyelids now, that wonderful core to the flame where the white gives way almost to blue and your body goes all the way over the edge, all the way past the event horizon into inescapable orgasmic bliss. Perhaps my words help you find it, perhaps your fingers have found the exact perfect spot to touch to push you that last little bit until you can't stop yourself and all you want to do is....

"Cum. That's it. That's right. Cumming so hard now, giving in to all those feelings that have been building and building until they absolutely overflow everywhere. Knowing that this is your reward for following that heat wherever it led, that this is exactly what you wanted and needed and that this is the ultimate source and destination for all that sexual pleasure. Cum for me. Cum for me. That's right. That's it. Cum.

"And as that orgasm slowly fades, relaxing into a dreamy afterglow that makes you even more relaxed and peaceful and happy, you can remember all the things you learned today. You can fix all those memories of growing arousal in your mind, deep down in your subconscious where they'll always come back to you wherever you need them, just as clear and as vivid as you need to in order to recreate them when you're commanded to by someone you trust. That sexual pleasure is both instruction and reward, both the goal you're seeking and a warm and wonderful feeling in and of itself. It's going to get easier and easier for you to find it every time you return to my words, and you can return to my words whenever it's safe and comfortable for you to do so. You're always welcome to come here. You're always welcome to listen and obey.

"But for now, it's time to begin coming back, letting the candle fade slowly and easily back into your imagination so that you can rediscover the real world around you. Coming up gently on one, feeling the thoughts flow slowly back into your head as you remember how nice and pleasant this was. Two, enjoying the knowledge that you can return whenever you want and whenever it's safe and comfortable to do so. Three, letting your eyes refocus on your surroundings, paying attention to your senses again. Four, almost all the way back up now, and....

"Five. Wake."
