The best part of this job is that I get to interview some incredible individuals from the erotic hypnosis community. Please enjoy my recent interview with Lady Izzabelle.

stagehand: I have had the pleasure of experiencing many of Your erotic hypnosis sessions which have all been fantastic. If I were to name one thing that comes through to me in Your sessions is that I feel You share Your heart and soul in Your work. There is so much depth and I feel You reaching out to make a connection with Your subject. Do You feel that Yourself, do You feel a personal relationship with Your hypnosis?

Lady Izzabelle: Absolutely. Each and every session I do whether it be through recordings or in person, I do put my heart and soul into what I am doing. I apply that though with everything I do in life. Life is a continuous learning experience, and I view hypnosis as a continuous learning process, and the more I continue to learn, the more I feel I will be able to utilize those learnings in a way to reach out even farther, making an even deeper connection.

SH: Please share with me when did You discover You had the gift for hypnosis.

LI: I have been self trancing since I was very young, which I believe all people do, they are just unaware of it at the time. I always considered myself a deep thinker, and just the word hypnosis intrigued me from a very young age. When I started looking into it, I realized I had been using hypnosis on myself for many years already. I was then fortunate to find a mentor who is very skilled in many areas of hypnosis and NLP. He mentored me for several years, and then I branched out on my own while taking courses to get my certifications.

As I look back now through the course of my life, I was always viewed as a mentor, counselor, or friend, who always had the right words to say to help people move forward into a better state of mind than what was, and that in itself, whether it be conversational, or focused trance, is a form of hypnosis.

SH: My first impression visiting Your site, http://mindtransformation.com/, was kind of the “we’re not in Kansas” any more feel. Some of Your titles and categories have a “darkness” feel about them. Yet I was to discover You as one of the most kind and caring Persons that I know. And Your sessions always leave me with the most uplifting feeling. If asked I would describe Your hypnosis as pushing boundaries and providing unexplored sensual sensations. How would You describe Your approach to Your hypnosis sessions?

LI: The sessions I provide on the website are unconventional, or out of the mainstream, yet what I am simply doing is being Me, and in doing that, I utilize all My knowledge from all resources to make a wonderful experience for all that do listen to My sessions. I not only provide a fetish or fantasy session, but within each session I present the listener with tools they can take with them in order to better their life. Whether it be in a D/s context or not, I believe in building people up, not tearing them down.

You're first impression of “we're not in Kansas” anymore, is correct! Stepping into My world is an experience a person will always remember.

SH: You frequently use poetry in Your hypnosis sessions, I actually find it quite erotic because I feel its effectiveness. From Your point of view how does poetry enhance the hypnotic experience?

LI: I have been writing poetry for years, and certain kinds of poetry helps to set up a feedback loop, just as music effects a persons physiology, poetry has similar effects where certain rhythm, rhyme or pace, causes the body to respond and furthers along the process of altering ones state of mind. I believe poetry in itself is hypnotic and a wonderful tool for creating, or even guiding a person into trance, with or without a formal induction.

SH: What do You find most pleasurable about erotic hypnosis? Do enjoy knowing the effect You are having on Your subjects mind?

LI: The pleasure I receive from doing erotic hypnosis comes from knowing the person will not only experience a wonderful, erotically, sensual trance, but also will come out of it with new learnings to be able to utilize in everyday life, that will help them achieve their goals as a submissive/slave and as the unique individual they are.

Do I enjoy the effect I have on minds? ~Smiling here~ Hell YES!

SH: I know that You live a BDSM lifestyle, how do You feel that hypnosis enhances a D/s relationship?

LI: Through the years I have attended many play parties in the BDSM community, and as I watched the scenes take place, I would watch submissives go into subspace, and while in this state of being, are very suggestible, which of course in My mind, I would sit back and think hypnosis.

I view hypnosis in the D/s BDSM lifestyle as a tool to utilize, as well as a whip, crop, flogger, or any other tool. Yet, there are times I will use it to drop a submissive into subspace with just the touch of My finger to their forehead or simply a whisper of a word, as they fall to their knees and instantly lose themselves into that euphoric state where the endorphins begin to rush through their mind and body automatically. Does it enhance the D/s relationship? Yes, for Me it does.

SH: The Hypnoticon conference took place earlier this month and as far as I am aware it’s the first time that erotic hypnosis was part of such a mainstream type of event. You were one of the presenters at Hypnoticon. Is there anything You would like to share about Your experience attending the event? Can we expect it to be an annual happening?

LI: I can not say enough good things about Hypnoticon. It was an awesome event, and the energy that flowed through the entire weekend was a good, positive energy. Each and every person I met were down to earth, and left wonderful impressions with Me that will last a lifetime. I can not thank David Fonteneau of http://fun2hypno.com and http://azuremindchanges.com enough for all his hard work in organizing Hypnoticon. I have heard talk of it being annual (which I hope it is) though I am not sure. The whole convention was video taped, and once editing is done, they are supposed to be accessible as downloads on the http://hypnoticon.org site.

All the presenters were wonderful, and although I could not be in two places at once, the panels I was able to attend were fantastic, and I thank each and every one that participated and were so giving of their time.

SH: One of Your erotic hypnosis series is titled “Vampire Invasion”, the sessions within are among my favorites. Please share with me Your own interests and perhaps fascination with vampires.

LI: There are many forms of Vampires, which I will not go into detail here. I personally love the idea of being the Succubus, coming into your dreams and devouring your mind, body, and soul. Making you Mine to the point of leaving a craving of wanting to feel Me even more. There is a mystery, a sensuality, a fantasy for many that want that hypnotic control of a Vampiress taking what She wants, what She needs, while at the same time, leaving the selected one in a state of ecstasy, while She draws Her desires and needs to satisfaction.

SH: Is there any one of Your hypnosis sessions that You feel is Your favorite or most powerful?

LI: I can not say that one is more powerful than another, for they all build upon each other, intensifying any and all effects from each session. Though if I had to pick one it would be “Kiss of Darkness”. It is a very strong trance and quite effective.

SH: I have seen a lot of changes in the erotic hypnosis community since the early days of the Internet. How do You see the state of the erotic hypnosis community today?

LI: I see new sites going up everyday, and overall becoming more widely known and accepted, and know many of us are not only doing erotic hypnosis but also therapeutic. I do believe one day as people's minds become more open and aware of being able to step outside their box, the erotic hypnosis community will flourish in leaps and bounds.

SH: In addition to hypnosis, You are also a Master Reiki Practitioner, I believe that is the correct title. Please tell me a little bit about Reiki and how does this fit together with Your approach to life.

LI: Usui Sensei said, “Reiki Ryoho is a spiritual healing technique and an energy healing technique”. Spiritual healing connects one with Universal Consciousness bringing Spiritual growth by healing core patterns and issues and helping one remember the fullness of ‘who they are’. Energy healing brings relief of pain and symptoms in the mind, body and emotions.

Reiki Ryoho brings one to understand the ‘purpose of life’; establishes the ‘Self’ which is aware of the ‘True meaning of Life’ as part of Universal Consciousness; connects one to Higher levels of consciousness. Reiki Ryoho is Spiritually-guided, is an individual experience and a powerful tool for personal growth and spiritual enlightenment.

Reiki Ryoho expands ‘Love’, helping one to understand the True meaning of ‘Unconditional Love’. Reiho increases and spreads the vibration of ‘Love’ to all life.

Reiki Ryoho expands ‘Harmony’, raises one’s vibrations to be in sync (or resonance) with the Divine and in so doing brings ‘Peace’ and happiness on personal, family and global levels.

Reiki is only one way that I use energy. There are many names, and many forms of energy that can be used in a numerous amount of ways. It's all dependent on the individual using it, and their intent. In everything I do, I put out the best energy possible, for I do believe you attract what you put out into the universe.

I do have a Hypnosis and Reiki Practice here in Columbus, OH, and within this practice I offer Reiki and Hypnosis combo sessions. It still amazes me seeing people go very deep in trance and feeling so wonderful when the session is over. To see someone that needed/wanted help come in a lesser than good state of mind, then leaving with a wonderful smile and in a completely relaxed, happy state, is the greatest reward for Me.

SH: Thank You so much Lady Izzabelle for agreeing to participate in this interview. For those who know You and Your hypnosis I am sure will enjoy gaining more insight into the remarkable Woman that You are. For those who have yet to experience one of Your deep trances, I hope their interests have been piqued. Are there any final words You would like to add?

LI: I would just like to thank you for the interview, and all the work you put into this site, and your involvement in the erotic hypnosis community. I know I appreciate you, as well as many others. Keep up the wonderful work you do and remember to.....~smile~
