Who's reading?

Since I first started this blog I have becoming increasingly aware of a startling fact, which is that people have been actually reading it!

This is the post where I ask you, dear intrepid blog reader, to please take just a few moments and oblige me. Copy the text below into a comment box for this post and just leave me a few words about yourself. You can do it anonymously if you wish, but I would love to know more about you, how you found this and what your interests in hypnosis are.

How did you find BlackMeridian? A friend of mine in Los Angeles found your blog while surfing on:line and pointed me to it.

What is your interest in hypnosis? I've always found the concept of hypnotizing someone frankly a big turn-on but have never acted on it. I'm really enjoying reading about your journey and envious as hell, Parkey. Thanks much for the blog.

I found your blog via Google while searching forcomments of “Reality is Plastic”.


What is your interest in hypnosis?
Mentalism has been a hobby of mine for a long time and hypnosis is a perfect fit for my interests. As a martial arts instructor I see it both as a tool to benefit my students and as a means to provide some entertainment.

Young, sex(ie), and in the UK baby!

How did I find you? It wasn't so hard once I'd piqued your interest. Which, since I'm so flawlessly awesome, happens without even trying!

What, you *wanted* a comment afterall.

Here Parkey! Come here, boy! Jump for the trance! Jump for it!

Parkey said...

How did you find BlackMeridian? It's good old Joe from uncommon. I would offer to zap your reading audience over skype... but you would never publish my comment :)

You write really well and I enjoy reading your point of view!

I honestly don't remember. Perhaps through first discovering your pals' videos on YouTube.

Interest in hypnosis?
I've been hypnotizing guys for 25 years--sometimes therapeutically, more often for fun and erotic enhancement. Interestingly, I've never wanted to be a subject myself--until I read your blog! Now I realize I could almost certainly be a better hypnotist if I had first-hand experience of trance. So you've got me thinking . . .

I've enjoyed your blog a lot, Parkey. You're a bright, engaging guy and a good writer, and your enthusiasm is infectious. You've gained amazing insight in only 6 months. To me, your most perceptive observation so far is that an induction is only window dressing: it's all a question of the sub's expectations and imagination. If you come off as confident and in charge, and the sub believes you're a bona fide hypnotist, you could recite a Shakespeare sonnet and he'd go under!

Something I'm curious about: You describe the feeling you get when subjects respond to your commands as "intoxicating" and a "buzz." That's very cool, but I suspect it's more than just a tickling of your intellect. I'd love to read some introspective rumination about what exactly has you so obsessed . . . er . . . I mean, interested. :-) For many of us, the intoxication comes from the feeling of power--the extraordinary power and control one person can have over another through hypnosis. Do you think that's it for you? Partly it? Or is it something else entirely?

Looking forward to future posts. Thanks again for the effort!

Would love to come to one of the London meets sometime. I am very very new to this and have never been in or yet tried to hypnotise someone.
I have reality is plastic, thats about it.

Hi Parkey.
My name is Lone Wolf (aka David)
I'm 54
I'm from New York City

I may have found your blog via Hypnofantastico, and that via sneakyscorpio who is a member of site I joined called HypnotizeMe!

There's a weekly HypnoMeet here in NYC that I attend. It meets about 1x a week in a bookstore cafe. It isn't half as much fun as the ones you attend seem to be. You've given me some inspiration to ramp things up a bit at ours.

I am self-taught (book-taught)and relatively new at this as well. The MeetUps are a tremendous help.

My interest is is to become a good hypnotist mainly to play with strangers and friends. Delving into erotic hypnosis is a consideration as well.

Keep up the good work. I'm hooked on your blog. It's brilliant.

I found you through HypnoFantastico, which I found through one of the gentlemen in my hypnosis group.

I love to hypnotize, and love to learn more about how other people use it.

I really love your blog. I think that to all new hypnotists there needed to be a person who could speak to us in language we understand.

Found BlackMeridian through another hypno blog site (probably Hypno-Fantastico). And was struck by the similarities. I have done hypnosis for several years, have trouble going into a trance, and have trouble finding subjects. Add to that the similarity of the last names, and well!

Currently reading through the archive, as there is a lot of good information there.

How did you find BlackMeridian? I did a google search on hypnotists being hard to hypnotize.


What is your interest in hypnosis? I've been interested a long time. Finally, in 2003 I took Cal Banyan's week long course. Have also had trouble being hypnotized myself, and finding a group to practise with.

A hypnotist I met online had recommended I check it out, since I am a subject who has not yet been able to successfully go into trance...one of the "analytical" types you refer to often


What is your interest in hypnosis?
I feel that being able to access trance will greatly improve my life, hopefully one day being able to use it to reduce anxiety and help with focus and relaxation when needed. Plus, I get turned on by it sexually : P

I found your blog while searching for the Milton Erickson handshake induction, and find it I did.

Interest in hypnosis: Would love to know that it's real, that it's possible and to be able to induce it in people for entertainment.

Thank you, Parkey, for writing this blog, you're a fantastic writer and hypnotist (the fact that I am reading youe blog 6 years later is testimony to this)

Was looking up a rapid induction and found your blog.

Big TO for me but it's also really interesting because the mind is an amazing and interesting thing.
