The first 3 I couldn't get to work but the last one is a 2 part (1st part 0 - 20 weeks, 2nd part 20 weeks - birth), I felt everything and I would recommend as hypnosis doesn't really work on me but this one definitely worked

I tried the two part one. I wasn’t home alone so I couldn’t just tune everything out and focus on it but I at certain points I felt like my chest and nipples felt warm and tingly and my stomach felt more tense. At one point when it said you may start feeling aroused my dick basically got hard on command. I never felt anything else. I want to try again when I have house to myself and I can just zone out and focus on it.

Even someone with an open mind I couldn't get these or any hypnosis to work. Honestly to me these are all just anecdotal experiences. We want it to work so we attribute anything that happens thats even close to the desired effect as a sign. Not bashing anyone here just saying don't jump to conclusions based on little to no data.

I totally agree. It’s extremely subjective and anecdotal. Hypnosis in general is not the most well researched or validated topic. Me personally I think a lot of it is placebo effect. either way it’s still an interesting concept and my personal experience trying it was me going into it expecting it to be bullshit but keeping an open mind. It was interesting enough that I’d like to try the other videos linked and try it when I have some alone time so I can see what results are with optimal circumstances. I’m still quite skeptical.

Here is the problem with hypnosis. The optimal circumstances are ones that make you highly susceptible to suggestions. If this was a scientific study it would be tainted because the exact conditions needed for it to be optimal are the exact conditions that can cause you to be influenced by outside information. Personally my optimal situation would be going in being skeptical and looking for anything that can't be explained by circumstantial evidence. Ideally something that can be replicate three times under different circumstances and in different situations.

While I largely agree with the skepticism some of you have expressed, I also want to quickly add two cents from an opposing viewpoint.

1) just because an effect is the result of a placebo doesn’t mean it’s not an effect. In fact, one way to look at hypnosis is as a way of inducing a placebo effect.

2) For what it’s worth, I can personally testify to anecdotal subjective, unverifiable, unreproducible but satisfying results.

This is an interesting topic which I think ought to be treated with a healthy dose of skepticism, which doesn’t preclude an open mind.

Vague enough for you? :-)

I remember randomly coming across videos like this from searching anything pregnant belly-related on YouTube. Scrolled through them just to see what they are about. I would assume the effects vary based on your focus and relaxation. Might try later tonight when it’s totally quiet and dark in my place. If anything, it sounds like a great way to unlock serious fantasy through deep mediation.

The mind is a powerful thing. Hypnosis is one of those things where the more you believe in it, the more like;y you are to experience something, or to convince yourself you have experienced something. I’m not even sure there’s a difference between those things.

I’d be interested to hear if your experience was worthwhile and if so, some of the details.
