Reptilians aren't lizards, they are the people who have learned to communicate bypassing the executive brain functions. They influence the lower brains, the limbic system and the lizard brain, the brain stem.
Grooming infants involves hypnotic non verbal suggestion. Non verbal vocalizations, e.g., association to emotional states. Olfactory system highjacking using pheromone carriers like candles, perfumes, deodorizors to recreate conditions programmed in the child. States can be triggered well into adulthood by the handlers. Auditory and visual using, Christmassy environments or light pollution. Mil and police know lights are weapons, too.
Environmental temperature control can be used as sources of stimulus or deprevation.
