Load Conversations With Hypnotic Elements

by Leave a Comment

Have you ever met a salesman that made you stop… and think “yes, finally, a person I can trust?” Now, it’s not necessary to feel that way towards me and to invite yourself to notice how good that feels. But if you were to think that way about me because I’ll do my absolute best to assist you in any way possible, it will be great. (And smile!)

Then, simply continue with your presentation that’s loaded with other hypnotic elements.

Look at the above pattern again. This time, notice that if you say it with the right attitude, people will respond positively. Also, notice how obvious it is! Just look at what you’re telling them to do! (Highlighted in BOLD letters.)

I used the above pattern all the time. And I never-not once had a person say “Screw you buddy.” Nope. Not once. They simply responded with a typical “okay!”

Because (and this is the important part) I said it hypnotically with the right attitude. You’ll learn more about how to do this in the next article.

But for now, are you beginning to realize how easy it is for you to apply sneak phrases?

It’s pretty simple, isn’t it? You’ll learn more ways to apply them as you continue to read the rest of these articles. 

Now there’s only one thing you need to do – and that is to just get out there and start using them!

How to Set the Stage Positively

by Leave a Comment

Here are some examples on how to set the stage positively: 

•   What’s it like when you know you want to buy something?

•   Have you ever just met a person in a place like this and think “Gosh, you could really be the one for me that I’ve been searching for?”

•   I don’t suppose you could imagine walking out with a car today, but if you could, what’s it like when you feel good by making a decision like that? (BUY making a decision LIKE THAT!)

Then, when you have the stage set, you can then begin to lead their mind and plant hypnotic commands inside their mind by using other sneak phrases.

Here are some of my favorites:

•   You might find (command goes here)

     – You might find new opportunities
     – You might find some answers
     – Things you might find helpful

•   How surprised would you be to (command goes here).

     – How surprised would you be to learn
     – How surprised would you be to hear

•   It’s not necessary to (command goes here).

 

•   You really shouldn’t (command goes here).

 

•   Don’t (command goes here).

 

•   I’m not saying (command goes here).

 

•   As you (command goes here).

 

•   And you can (command goes here).

 

•   I invite you to notice (command goes here).

 

•   If you were to (command goes here).

 

•   It’s been shown that most people can (command goes here).

 

Now, how do you use these phrases? Do you just stack them on top of one another sentence after sentence?

 

Well, the more you read on, you’ll see the many ways they can be used. But the best way to use them is to chain a few of them together and describe a process.

Phrases That Set the Stage for the Subject You Wish to Talk About

by Leave a Comment

It’s important to clarify that it is neither ethical nor possible to control someone else’s mind. The concept of mind control is often portrayed in fiction, but in reality, respecting each individual’s autonomy and consent is paramount in all interactions.

If you’re looking to effectively communicate or persuade in a conversation, which should always be done ethically and with respect for the other person’s free will, there are ways to set the stage for a productive and influential discussion:

  1. Establish Rapport: Building a connection or rapport with the person is crucial. Start with friendly, general conversation to create a comfortable atmosphere. Example:
    “I noticed from your social media posts that you’re really into hiking. I love hiking too! Have you explored any interesting trails lately?”
  2. Listen Actively: Show genuine interest in what the other person is saying. Listening actively and empathetically can help you understand their perspective and build trust. Example:
    After someone shares their thoughts, you could respond, “It sounds like you’ve put a lot of thought into this. What part of that experience stood out most to you?”
  3. Use Open-Ended Questions: Asking open-ended questions encourages the other person to share more about their thoughts and feelings. This can provide valuable insights into their perspectives. Example: Instead of asking, “Do you like your job?” ask, “What do you enjoy most about your work?”
  4. Express Empathy: Demonstrating understanding and empathy towards their situation or viewpoint helps in creating a supportive environment for open dialogue. Example: “I can see how that situation would be really frustrating for you. It must have been challenging to navigate.”
  5. Find Common Ground: Identifying areas of agreement or shared interest can set a positive tone for the conversation. Example: “It sounds like we both believe that education is key to personal growth. Maybe we can explore ways to improve access to education together.”
  6. Clearly State Your Intentions: Be transparent about the purpose of your conversation. People are more receptive when they understand the context and your intentions. Example: “I’d like to talk about how we can improve our workflow. My goal is to make our work more efficient and enjoyable for everyone.”
  7. Use “I” Statements: To avoid sounding accusatory, use “I” statements that focus on your own thoughts and feelings rather than making assumptions about the other person. Example: Instead of saying, “You never listen to me,” try, “I feel unheard when my suggestions aren’t considered during meetings.”
  8. Be Respectful of Boundaries: Always respect the other person’s boundaries and be prepared to gracefully end the conversation if they are not comfortable. Example: If someone appears uncomfortable with the topic, you could say, “I sense that this topic might be uncomfortable for you. Would you prefer we talk about something else?”
  9. Avoid Manipulative Tactics: It’s important to avoid any form of manipulation. Ethical persuasion respects the other person’s right to make their own choices. Example: Focus on honest communication. For example, instead of saying, “Everyone thinks this is a bad idea,” say, “I have some concerns about this idea and here’s why.”
  10. Be Open to Different Outcomes: Enter the conversation with an open mind, understanding that the other person may have a different viewpoint, and that’s okay. Example: “I understand we have different views on this. I appreciate hearing your perspective, and it’s given me a lot to think about.”

Remember, the goal of any conversation should be mutual understanding and respect, not control or coercion. Effective communication is about sharing ideas, understanding each other, and respecting each other’s perspectives and choices.

Having Difficulty in Dehypnotizing Yourself is Extremely Rare

by Leave a Comment

Occasionally, the instructions to wake up are not clear to the subject. If this is the case, clearer instructions should be given. You could also deepen the hypnotic state and then give suggestions to awaken at a specific count in a very authoritarian manner. Every so often, I have found that the subject has fallen into a natural sleep and just hasn’t heard the instructions. In this case I raise my voice which is usually sufficient or gently shake the subject awakening him as you would any sleeping person.

I would like to relate a rather interesting experience that I had with a male subject. I had worked with this particular subject six times previous to this occasion. He was a good hypnotic subject, and he failed to awaken in the usual manner. Since he had carried out several posthypnotic suggestions, it was rather perplexing to analyze what had happened. After about ten minutes, he finally agreed while he was under hypnosis to awaken at a given count. I asked him what was the nature of the difficulty. He replied, “I wanted to see how you would react.”

In conclusion, having difficulty in dehypnotizing yourself is extremely rare. Should it happen, _keep calm_, and repeat the suggestions with emphasis. Even in hetero-hypnosis, where the hypnotist hypnotizes a subject, it is extremely rare. There are explainable psychodynamic factors for this. However, they can be met adequately while the subject is under hypnosis.

How to Bring a Subject Out of the Hypnotic State

by Leave a Comment

I hope I haven’t frightened you with the prospect of not being able to awaken. I bring this up only to acquaint you with the procedure to use. Actually, the problem of dehypnotization is a rare one. I should point out a very important fact: I have never had a subject practicing or using self-hypnosis tell me he had the least bit of difficulty in awakening himself from the self-induced hypnotic state.

I have had persons tell me that they heard or read of a case where the hypnotist could not bring the subject out of the hypnotic state, and, as a result, the subject slept for so many days. Not one of the stories could be documented. Years ago, for publicity purposes, stage hypnotists would have a subject sleep in a store window for several days. This was on a voluntary basis, though, and should not be confused with what we are discussing.

In working with subjects, I have very rarely had a subject who did not awaken at a specific count, but I have had this experience. I have usually found that the subject is so relaxed that he just didn’t want toawaken for fear of losing this pleasant sensation. When the subject doesn’t awaken, I merely ask him in a calm manner, “Why don’t you wish to wake up? You can answer me without awakening from the hypnotic state.” He usually replies he’d like to remain in this state for another five minutes or so. I agree to this extended period while getting a firm commitment from him that he will awaken after this period. This is usually sufficient to bring the subject out of the hypnotic state.

What to do Before Giving Yourself Therapeutic Suggestions

by Leave a Comment

Before beginning to give yourself therapeutic suggestions, you could give yourself the following suggestions which give you a _specific length of time_ that you will work with self-hypnosis:  

“I shall work with self-hypnosis for 15 minutes. At the end of that time, I shall open my eyes and wake up feeling wonderfully well, wide awake, confident, cheerful and optimistic. The moment I open my eyes,

I’ll feel refreshed. In case of any outside danger, I’ll be able to awaken immediately, be fully alert and act accordingly.” You will notice that these suggestions take into consideration the possibility of something happening of danger to the individual, such as fire, etc. These points arise in the minds of most individuals attempting self-hypnosis and are well taken. You could also set an alarm clock to awaken you at a designated time.

Let us assume to arouse yourself you gave yourself a suggestion to open your eyes and be wide awake at the count of five. You count to five and for some reason you are unable to open your eyes. First of all, DON’T WORRY. Remain relaxed and give yourself the suggestions over again, emphasizing to yourself that at the count of five you will absolutely, positively be able to open your eyes very easily and will feel fine. You then begin the count again reiterating between each number that you will positively open your eyes at the count of five and be wide awake. This should do it. Should this not do it, may I reassure you again, DON’T BECOME ALARMED. Relax for a few minutes and try again. You’ll be able to open your eyes and wake up.

Sneak Phrases for Covert Hypnosis

by Leave a Comment

Yes! Finally! The famous “sneak phrases.” Now it’s time to start having fun! In this article I’m going to give you a few of them so that you realize how they work. I’m going to give you my favorite phrases.

So what is a sneak phrase?

It’s simply a set of words that cause people to go into a “waking trance.” Most people who think about hypnosis think “you are getting very sleepy” – when covert hypnosis is not that at all.

When you apply covert hypnosis, it’s not necessary to put people into deep sleep. Putting people into a waking trance is actually quite fun because you get people actively involved.

How do you know when people go into a waking trance? Here are the “tell all” signs:

•   Their face changes color

•   They focus straight in front of them and “visualize” what you’re describing

•   Their posture changes

•   Their eyes dart around

•   They turn one of their ears towards you

•   They freeze

•   They nod their head in agreement

•   The pay close attention

•   The whites of their eyes grow bigger

•   Their pupils grow bigger

•   They relax (you can see their shoulders hunch and the muscles in their face will “let go” and allow gravity to pull them down).

Now, the best way to get people into a waking trance is to “shuffle” their brain into mild-unconscious mode. And you do that by using sneak phrases.

When you first begin to apply covert hypnosis, it’s always good to start with a question.

Here are a few hypnotic sneak phrases that accomplish this:

•   What’s it like when you (command goes here).

•   Have you ever (command goes here)

•   I don’t suppose you could (command goes here), but if you could (see that, do that, feel that) what’s it like when you… 

•   If you were to (command goes here), how would you go about doing that?

Covert Hypnosis: Experiment with Different Thought Patterns, Attitudes and Intentions

by Leave a Comment

You see, when people don’t respond positively to you when you meet them, it’s only because of the thoughts you have running through your brain. Start searching and experimenting with different thought patterns, attitudes and intentions. Once you find the success, roll out with it to experience predictable social events – with absolute certainty, covert hypnosis will help you for sure. Now supposing you have found the right thoughts and attitudes to have, now what?

The next step is to simply pace the person. Pacing is nothing more than matching a person. You can match a person’s:

•   Gestures

•   Posture

•   Tone of voice

•   Pace at which they speak

•   Body movements – even subtle ones like scratching your nose

•   Breathing

Naturally, when we share similarities with a person we will already match a person without having to be consciously aware of it or by simply asking “What must the person be thinking, feeling and imagining?” For example, if I’m talking with a person and we begin talking about a subject we both enjoy, we naturally share like interest so our postures, gestures, tone of voice etc…, may already match each others without my having to be consciously aware of it. This, by far is the easiest way to get into rapport. However, we aren’t always this lucky. Sometimes it’s required of you to literally try to “mirror” a person’s unconscious movements by putting forth the conscious effort.

This requires greater skill. How could one have a conversation with a person, pay attention to them, yet at the same time remain aware of how they are talking, moving, breathing etc? Answer: practice. There’s a fine line between offending someone by appearing to “mock” them. Meaning, you don’t have to match them completely right away.

With most people, you’ll find there’s about a 30 second window before a “mirror” move is required. This way, it doesn’t seem like there’s literally a mirror in front of the person and you’re trying desperately to play the role of the image in the mirror.

For example: if a person crosses their legs, you could cross yours in 25 seconds or so instead of right away. If they change their posture from a more relaxed to more “correct” you can do the same about 15 seconds after. Obviously, this appears to be more natural, and eventually the person’s unconscious mind will begin to think “I don’t know why, but I really like this person.”

Once you’ve successfully paced a person and the liking between the both of you has increased, then you can begin to “lead” them.

Gaining rapport with a person is nothing more than appearing to be like the person. Simply pretending to be the person you’re talking to is more than enough, in my opinion. It’s never faulted me. Start there and if anymore skills are required, use the easy to apply techniques taught in this article. Now, once you’ve gained rapport successfully with another, you then begin to make the shift from appearing to be like them to leading them.

We are Able to Condition Ourselves to Various Stimuli with Underground Hypnosis

by Leave a Comment

Underground hypnosis works because we are able to condition ourselves to various stimuli. We condition ourselves consciously and unconsciously to many activities. When we experience anxiety, it stems from a conditioning process which could have been conscious or unconscious. In self-hypnosis, the individual consciously works toward implementing and strengthening his own inherent strength and resources. These objectives, when attained, result in feelings of confidence, relaxation, self-mastery and well-being.

Furthermore, hypnosis utilizes a natural mental process. We all know that placebos work admirably in a number of cases. The dictionary defines the word placebo as, “an inactive substance or preparation, administered to please or gratify a patient, also used in controlled studies to determine the efficiency of medicinal substances.” Many controlled trials have shown that people achieve similar results whether they take a placebo (which they think is the real medication) or real medication that was prescribed. Several years ago many such tests were carried out with antihistamines to prevent colds. The results were always the same.

We are interested in what makes the placebo act as effectively as the true medication. It stands to reason that a chain reaction is set up, actually causing a physiological result from a psychological reaction.

The unsuspecting patient declares, “I’ve never felt so good in my life.” Yet, this would never have happened if he didn’t think he was taking the marvelous new medicine. A scientific study by one of the leading pharmaceutical companies concluded that one third of the effectiveness of any medication depends upon the faith and trust that the patient has in the prescribing physician.

I am sure that the placebo results and the patient’s faith in the physician as contributing factors to the effectiveness of medications do not come as a revelation. We are all aware of such information. Our problem is how to harness this unconscious process for constructive goals. The answer is through underground hypnosis.
