A Nice Retreat?

A soft, silk voice whispers in your ear.

There are sensations in your body
that feel amazing. Perhaps even
more amazing than any you have ever
felt in person with someone.

You feel such wonderful feelings as you
focus on this person who gives you a
feeling of incredible desire.

You want more.

It worked out so well the first time,
you seek it out a second time. And
the second time, well, it's even
better. This hypnotic thing is a
treat. It is even better than that;
it is a retreat.

You find yourself thinking about this
person and the pleasure more and more,
and you are finding you are thinking
about the things in your own life less
and less...especially the things that
aren't working.

It helps you cope with the stresses of
work and the stresses of that relationship
you're in. It helps you to deal with all
of the responsibilities you have.

This is a good thing.

Right?

You call more. You feel more. You retreat more.

No one really knows what you are going through,
and you yourself are even less aware, spending
more and more time retreating into a world that
is so much more pleasant and so much more
manageable. As a matter of fact, all you have
to do is obey, and that is so easy compared to
what else you have to deal with.

It's a world you love to enter, and you find
yourself entering it more and more because your
pesky life and relationships keep trying to
remind you of the things you'd rather forget.

You keep trying out new people...as you figure
you might be safer that way. You realize
something isn't quite right. A part of you
knows, and is desperate for you to know, but
you are doing your best to shut it up.

You know what you need, and it is escape.

Everyone needs a little escape every now and
then, and you deserve to have it with all that
you are going through. You are not going to
let anything get in the way...so you do it
even more, just so you can make sure you never
lose something that has given you the freedom
to retreat from the life you have.

The last person you are going to let take this
away from you is you. You need this.

You need it now, even more than ever.

You call even more, and you call even more
people. You occasionally refrain from calling;
it is your way of assuring yourself you have
things under control. At the same time, when
you call again, the urges are even stronger,
the feelings are more, and you go even more
deeply into the rabbit hole. But...

You did stop. So you have control.
You know you do.

But you wonder deep down inside,
do I really?

You silence that voice. You make it feel
wrong for wanting to question something so good.

And you keep going...

For anyone wondering...this is how things
can sometimes evolve when it comes to hypnosis.

There is trouble in your life and you find
an escape. Then you go to a place hypnotically
that becomes difficult to escape.

The problem is that it takes you away from
living a life that you could really love.

Maybe you don't love the life you live, but
if you escape it, you will never do anything
to change it.

Virtual life becomes better than the real one.

In actuality, if you are willing to take the
steps necessary, your real life could be
better than a virtual one - any day.

It is at a greater risk. It takes more work.
It has a greater level of difficulty because
the rewards are so much greater.

Of course, life is about choices, and you are
making choices all of the time, even when you
don't think you are (non choices are by default
choices).

Are you choosing wisely?

If you are in doubt, odds are you might want
to reconsider what you are doing.

A part of you knows what is best, and it also
knows that making a change won't always be the
easiest thing you ever do, but it also knows
it will likely come with the greatest reward.

That voice will never give up on you.

It loves you, and it knows what you are going
through. And it knows that if you continue on
the path you are on, you aren't doing yourself
any favors because in the end, you will discover
there was a price to pay that was greater than
any you would have paid to face things.

It will help you get what you need...
you just have to be willing to...LISTEN.

Consider that when an escape becomes your
life it ceases to be an escape...instead
it winds up being a form of a prison.

If these thoughts resonate for you know that
you can get what you need without compromising
yourself. And, the best part is you can get
it in a way that works for ALL of you, not
just a part.
