How to Master the Secret of Covert Hypnosis

by Leave a Comment

They’ll literally think “you are just being you.” Which, of course is your primary aim. A master of covert hypnosis (aside from someone who teaches it) doesn’t just run around and say “hey, I know covert hypnosis.” No. It’s a secret. You don’t want people to know you’re an expert at it. 

Now, since this article will help you design and create a powerful hypnotic voice, you might run into the objection that people who already know you might catch on as if you’re up to something.

Well, I’ll have to admit, there have been times where I thought the same. But the interesting part is if you follow the advice given in the article, you’ll not have to worry about even having that happen to you simply because those who know you will admire and be drawn to your newly developed voice. 

If it should happen that people might think you’re “weird” (with lack of better words) because you might “sound” different than what their used to hearing from you, a simple “I don’t know what you’re talking about” or “What do you mean?” should suffice. If they go onto explain, don’t even put any more thought into it by replying “Hmm, that’s interesting” in a matter-of-fact way, and leave it at that.

Just shrug it off and move on with your persuasion. Chances are, that’ll never happen anyway – especially if you hold that thought in mind!

I’ve used it with my own family and friends that have known me for years and had no idea I used it on them, nor did they even bring up the fact that I “sounded” different simply because I was congruent with my hypnotic application.

Now, congruence is important with your application of hypnotic talking, too. You literally have to “play the part” or emotion.

Control Your Voice To Embed Commands While You Are Talking

by Leave a Comment

Having control of your voice is essential because it’s necessary if you want to embed commands while you’re talking. Embedding commands is obviously important when directing a person’s conscious mind to access the unconscious. For example, say the following out loud: “Do you want to go out for pizza with me?”

Most people who aren’t familiar with hypnotic talking will go up? at the end of the sentence when asking a question. However, if I were to put a comma in front of the words “go out for pizza with me” it forces you to pause before you say it. Say the following: “go out for pizza with me.” Notice how you’re not going up in the end with your tonal inflection.

Now, try saying the sentence below, only this time pausing for a second and ending the question as if you’re making a statement.

Do you want to, go out for ice cream with me!
Now, I’ve purposely put an exclamation point at the end of the above sentence so you understand the point here… Of course, you’re not going to “yell” your commands but it’s important you have control of your voice. You do this by getting in the habit of dropping your tone of voice *slightly* with virtually every sentence you say – including questions.

Doing so will allow you to “drop” commands inside a persons unconscious mind. This is very important. The trick is to be sure you sound completely genuine and not like you’re “telling” another person what to do as if you’re talking down to them – no pun intended.

You may also notice that with practice it does indeed – no matter how hard you try, sound like you are in fact telling a person what to do. If this occurs, you’re probably doing it correctly.

Now, I can just hear you asking “But I thought you said not to sound like you’re telling a person what to do!” Basically, just because it sounds like to you that you’re telling a person what to do, doesn’t mean it sounds the same to another person.

Since you’re becoming aware of covert hypnosis and how it works, you’ll have a conscious about it. You’ll know that its working and what you’re doing even though the majority of people you talk with won’t have a clue you’re even doing anything.

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.

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.

How to Gain and Keep Rapport All Times

by Leave a Comment

If you don’t have rapport, then they simply won’t like you, and it becomes difficult to covertly hypnotize them so it’s essential you gain and keep rapport at all times…

• If you’re selling something, it’s far better to have “Here’s a potential new friend” running through your brain rather than “let’s get this sucker to sign.”

• If you’re seducing others, it’s far better to have “Hmmm, here’s a person that I could get to know, let’s see if we could share something special” running through your brain rather than “Let’s go to bed together.”

• If you’re persuading your kids to listen to you or to obey, it’s far better to have “I care about you a lot and I’m only looking to serve as a good role model” running through your brain rather than “I’m your parent and you’ll listen to me because I run the house.”

• If you’re speaking before large groups of audiences it’s far better to have “We’re all equal here, and I’m open to you all” running through your brain rather than “I’m speaking and I’m the expert; now pay attention and listen.”

With rapport, the first signal a person will “pick up” on is your thoughts. Before you even make eye contact, it’s important you have your objective in mind. What do you intend to accomplish with communicating with them?

Achieve all these goals with covert hypnosis.

This is where most people make their first mistake. Then, it leads to more mistakes.

Let’s take for example the guy who wants to meet women. Every time he approaches her, he accidentally thinks to himself:

“I’ve got to get her to go home with me” “She probably has a boyfriend” “I’ll probably screw it up” “I always meet the wrong women”

Now, if you’ve read everything in these articles up until this point, it’s obvious that the thoughts he’s holding in his mind are coming true.

But what if he thought instead things like:

“I attract women easily”

“I’m a fun guy to be around” “I love who I am”

“She’s going to love me because I know that if I love myself first, she will too!”

Do you think he’d get better results? Of course he would! 

Now, this can applied to any subject. What if you’re salesman? What thoughts could you start replacing right now that’ll bring you more positive results?

Conversational Hypnosis: The Value of Building Rapport

by 83 Comments

Rapport is simply appearing to another person’s unconscious mind that the two of you are alike. When you’re properly in rapport with another person, they naturally think “I don’t know why, but I really like you!”

People who share like interests naturally find themselves gaining rapport with each other. The best thing you can do to establish rapport is to imagine you can achieve rapport with people easily. This will prove to be a good first step.

Now, when people are in a rapport, they more than likely share the following similarities:

•   They breathe together at the same rate

•   Their postures match

•   They speak at the same pace, tone and pitch

•   They use the same gestures

Most of the time, this is all done outside both parties conscious awareness. Since I’m a person who likes to get to know people on a genuine level, I gain rapport quickly with an individual. You can do the same thing.

When you first start communicating with a person, answer in your own mind a very important question and trust the answers that come to you. Ask “What is going on inside the person? What must they be thinking, feeling, imagining?”

And be selective about what you’re thinking…

Even thoughts create energy and it’s been shown that people can “pick up” on your thoughts about them. For example: if you’re angry, a person’s unconscious mind can detect it and may mistake you being angry with them whether your anger is towards them or not. 

So it’s very important what you have running through your brain when you’re gaining rapport with others and even during the entire conversation. It only takes one wrong attitude or thought about a person that can break your rapport. Build rapport through conversational hypnosis.
