hi my name is chris i'm 15.one day i got an idea about using hypnosis for time distortion. i worked on it and came up with a way of doing it: (this is just a theory that i successfully tested)
-when someone is in deep trance, you make them recall a time when they felt time passing slowly, maybe they were doing something boring and when they think a longer period has passed, actually it's a shorter time. make them get in the experience, really feel what they were feeling at that time.
-when they get really in it, use a stopwatch and let them tell you when their unconscious mind gives them any signal that 1 minute has passed. the actual time should be shorter. associate this feeling of time slowing down with touching their left ear for example. they can activate it when doing something where they want the time to slow down.
-do the same for an experience where the time passed quickly while they were doing something they were absorbed in an activity and use the stopwatch this time for 30 seconds (better than 1 min), they should give you a signal after the time has passed. again associate it with the right ear for exemple.
-now test it while activation one of the anchors and testing it with the stopwatch then the second one.
Troubleshooting tips: -if the first time their perception of time isn't as you want, give them time to really get in the experience. -tell them to activate the trigger many times when they want to use it.
it's a theory that i tried on my brother. the second day he tried it in school and the time getting fast work better than the other one, but it's still a great success.
i will work on refining it to make it better. p.s. i'm working on a more advanced one for temperature control.
keep practicing and ask me for advise if having problems.
i got better results with that technique when i did some small changes to it:
when in deep trance, have the subject see himself in the experience when time passed slowly... like if he was watching it on a screen, then ask him to fully immerse himself in the experience (so he feel the difference between just watching it, and actually experiencing it) and continue with the anchoring and test.
about temperature control, i managed to get 3 people to feel warm because the cold weather was unexpected and it worked. i will make a post about it soon.
Learning to use your voice as a pacing instrument is very useful in distorting time. By how I use my voice, and by my pacing, I'm able to help subjects change there experience of time quite easily. Once you can change that experience, associating this experience of pace to a sliding anchor is fairly simple at that point. I have a good friend who is a drummer working hard to meet his potential, by putting him through time shifts in this way, using pacing to change that perceptual flow, anchoring those shifts, and then making him aware of the anchor and how it worked, it became easy for him to slow down time for drumming, as well as to keep track of the rate of distortion. Once the person experiences the shift as something controllable, they can easily learn to control that shift themself. Using a metronome or stopwatch can be a good tool, but when you can use your own ability to alter there perception of time by how you pace things in your language and gestures, these skills have a far greater flexibility, though it is wonderful to share new abilities with others, as I'm sure we can all agree. I often like to do so in sneaky ways, myself, for example, my drummer friend was never aware of my teaching him this skill on a conscious level, but a day or two after our talk, he mentioned to me how he had somehow figured out how to get time to slow down or speed up. By making the actual process something he wasn't aware of, he was able to learn that skill as something he had learnt and thus own it in a more powerful way. Now, of course, the technique here is a wonderful one, and I am merely offering this as a point on flexibility. Don't get too tied down to one approach, because each subject has unique qualities and the most successful hypnotists are one's who tailor the method to what will be most effective for this person. My drummer friend is very indicidualistic and often dismisses things that he hasn't learnt on his own, so he needed to have the experience of discovering the skill to distort time for himself. For others, of course, that method would be useless, and instead more direct approaches, like the one that you, Chris, have outlined may be perfect. I would suggest using a sliding anchor, having them anchor the slower and faster paces to different points on there own arm, and let them slide the anchor from one point to the other. Then get them to move it further one way and further the other. This way they get the ability to adjust the flow of time more exactly and can even go beyond the paces that they experienced in those memories. Structuring it as a sliding anchor allows the subject to get more control, plus you can let them use there arm feeling as a guage. They can think about the speed of time as they are experiencing it without needing to compare it to a clock, because they can feel where that energy is on the arm, and they can slide it up or down to the right pont for what they are doing right now.
