When I was a teen, a young teen about the age of fourteen I started to really observe people. To find what made people think and behave always fascinated me. I've always watched and listened. There was the curious sadist bit of me that would play games as well, poke buttons and elicit reactions out of curiosity. Always filing away info for the future.
Lately I've been getting into the more esoteric aspects of mind/body connections. That led me to looking into charisma and neuro linguistic programming and hypnotic trance, etc...
It occurred to me today that many of the things that people do are astounding. Professional athletes, snipers, strippers and even people dancing in clubs. There is a "zone" that we all go into and out of through the day that allows us to perform physically at a level far beyond we normally could if we were not in a trance mindset. It's that place where you are a little unfocused and things seem to flow naturally.
Then I thought about dom/sub space and the way people describe it. It seems that it is a trance state. I'll give an example.
When approaching someone using neuro linguistic programming techniques you have to first put yourself into a light hypnotic state. Once you are there your ability to read and respond to your subjects body language flows naturally and you can control a lot of things with them. You can program them. You can seduce them, sell them something, make them trust you.
I thought it was interesting as I was working out just now and realized that I was in a trance state. I also realized that when I'm working out in a trance state I have increased stamina, strength and much finer control of my body.
It seems that a dominant extends this kind of control to the people around him. A lot of the time without even knowing it, just as a function of a well developed personality.
Any thoughts, comments?

I did. Thanks for pointing it out - I was hungry.
