Explanation of the hypnotic gaze induction
You should feel like a real hypnotist now and that is because you are. You have put people into trances in just a few moments of your time. Now, relaxation and comfort and inducing those things are one thing. How do you start doing this How do you begin to alter people's realities in the context of a normal, everyday conversation You are in a normal conversation. You are talking to someone and decide, This would be a great time to use some of my Conversational Hypnosis patterns, - to achieve...
Hypnotic rapport
At this point, I want to address a very important hypnotic idea. This is going to take your rapport skills beyond the normal range. It's what I call 'Hypnotic Rapport'. Now, in some respects, hypnotic rapport has been around as long as human beings have, because there's a side-effect of trance. No one fully understands what it is yet, but we know that it happens, and we know that it's incredibly powerful. Basically, whenever someone goes into a trance around you, when they come back they'll...
Double Negation
The next confusional pattern is double negations or double negatives. The mind finds it very difficult to actually deal with negatives because negations don't actually exist in the real world. If I say to you, I don't have a car,. - the thing that you have to think about first is the car. Then you have to negate it and get rid of it. So if I tell you that I don't have a car that doesn't work,. - now you have to work twice as hard because there are two negations that you have to work in. But if...
Refinement 2 My Friend John Technique
A particularly useful technique for this is what is called the my friend John or my friend Jane technique. In this one you basically use all the same descriptions about hypnosis and what it feels like to go into a trance, etc. But instead of talking to the other person, you just describe to them the experience that your friend John or Jane had when he or she went to see a hypnotist, or when he or she was hypnotized by someone. And in that way, you create this weird sort of double reality, where...
Hypnotic Story 1 Use It To Deliver Embedded Suggestions
Well, stories can be used in many ways, and in my opinion one of the simplest and most powerful ways in stories is to use them as vehicles for embedded suggestions. Just think back to Milton Erickson, who discovered the idea of embedded suggestions. Remember how he would make dictations of complete nonsense words, but embed within it all kinds of suggestions for his secretary to lose the headache. Well, if you can embed it within nonsense words, why not embed it within stories, so that it...
BMIR stands for BMIR Behavioural Manifestation of an Internal Representation
That's basically a complex way of saying that every time you think about something, it will somehow show in the way you move, in the way you breathe, in your body language, and even in your tonality. So the easiest way to perform something is for you to go into the state of mind -to make the mental images, to speak to yourself in the tone of voice - that you want to deliver things in. So, for example, let us say you want to help someone to relax. The worst thing you can do is think of stressful...
Master Technique 16 Stacked Realities
Now also remember at this point you will also cover this idea of stacking realities or using multiple realities and this is one of the key things I want you to really practice on this step. Remember in order to stack a reality, you practice telling a story where there are many different people talking and each one is giving different quotes and different series of events. So you're never quite sure who's talking, who's saying what about whom. And a huge level of ambiguity as well as the large...
Hypnotic Warning 1
On the next track, I'm going to give you an example of how you can combine the language from your hypnotic language foundation on CD 3 together with the precision language that you just learned from this CD here. In order for me to make it more simple, let me use a simple hypnotic theme, the word relax. We're going to rift around that in order to bring in the various types of language softeners and hypnotic words and hypnotic themes. This is a hypnotic extract which means that if you are...
Bonus Handout Sheets On The Milton Model
For those of you who want to study his language further, the first thing I would recommend that you do is go to your bonus 'handout sheets', in which the entire 'Milton Model' has been condensed for you. And you can actually look at the patterns themselves, and study that, and actually begin to use them. The Milton Model Sheets are in Part 2 of the Appendix Whatever you do, however, please take the time to master this fundamental skill in hypnosis. If you can flow with these 'linguistic...
State inducing method 1 revivification questions
So, let's look at the first way of directing someone's internal experiences in order to actively insert an emotional state. We're going to do this by asking questions. This is called a 'revivification'. Revivification means bringing something back to life. Now, whenever you ask someone a question, in order to answer the question they have to go to the answer and experience it to a certain degree and experience it to a certain degree in order to know what the actual answer will be. If I ask you,...
Become A Natural Storyteller
Now, with experience, the first thing that will happen is you will have a stock of stories that you like telling. You will know them, you will rely on them, you can make them do different things, and you will pull them up over and over again because they are very useful. The second thing you will realize is that many of your best stories will come to you in a flash of inspiration, just completely out of the blue. You will be talking to someone and suddenly you're in the middle of a story, you...
Conversational Trance Blueprint 1
This is the Milton Model1 which uses artfully vague language patterns. The language employed allows the listener to insert his her own meaning as it relates to the situation they're facing, in order to give the communication concrete meaning. Often a person will do a Trans-Derivational Search TDS so they can give a meaning to this artfully vague language. TDS is a specialised trance state that the mind enters in order to search through its memories for a certain experience or set of experiences...
Its called the seeding of ideas
Well, in the same way that a gardener would take a seed and plant it in the ground, and then water it and nurture it, and allow it to grow by itself, so an idea can be planted inside someone's mind - which you come back to time and time again, slowly nurturing it and growing it, until it becomes a fully-fledged suggestion. This is particularly useful at such times when the actual suggestion itself, the fully-fledged suggestion, would be too far out someone's comfort zone or reality or way of...
Directionalised Language
As we're beginning this CD on hypnotic language, let's begin with the end in mind. The end is to create an 'altered state of mind', in order to be able to use that to help people make changes, or to persuade and influence them to do certain things. Now, this 'altered state of mind' is a kind of special state of awareness, in which people focus on certain ideas or thoughts, to the exclusion of others. You see, there's an old adage that 'what you focus on exclusively becomes real'. In the world...
Emotional triggers
The next principle we need to address is that of emotional triggers. Emotional triggers were discovered at the turn of the first century, in about 1901 or 1902. A Russian researcher called Ivan Pavlov is most famous for discovering emotional triggers in what are called 'Pavlov's dogs'. You've probably already heard about them. In this experiment Dr. Pavlov would take dogs and offer them some food- but just before, he would shoot these food pellets down a tube into their mouths, he would ring a...
Rapport hooks
Now another advanced strategy for building rapport is what I call 'creating rapport hooks'. What you want to do is to get people to actually try and build rapport with you. And the harder they have to work to build rapport with you, the more that rapport will be worth to them, and the more they'll continue to work to maintain it later on. Now, how do you get people to work for rapport 'Rapport hooks' have been designed to get people to ask more questions, to come back to you over and over...
Breakdown of the nested loops
The first level for you to look at will be the actual stories contained within the Hypnotic Story Teller Induction. Now there are five different stories, five different loops that I embedded within that construct. The five stories are 1. The example of my hypnotizing people when I first learned hypnosis, 2. The Story of Jongleur--The Improvisational Theatre Workshop. 4. The Golden Ram and the Wise Ewe. And finally These are the five stories that have been embedded within the whole hypnotic...
Shock Surprise
The final category that I want to cover is the study of shock and surprise. Anytime you shock or surprise someone, you basically bounce the critical factor offline. It doesn't know what to do anymore and it creates a sudden kind of trance induction itself. In the old days, classical hypnosis would use this, for example, with the classic shock induction where you have someone dramatically yelling sleep' to someone as they come on stage. They might grab their hand and yank it a little bit and...
The 6 most common mistakes in building rapport continued
So let's look at what other mistakes people will typically make when trying to build rapport with others The 4th most common mistake is a lack of genuine interest. The thing about 'interest' is that, when you feel an interest inside and your focus is actually on the ideas that someone else is presenting, your whole body language changes. You begin to sub-communicate, at a very subtle level, signals of interest your pupil dilation will change, your level of focus will be changed, your movements...
End of Bonus CD1
So we've reached the end of the bonus material on this CD. I hope you've enjoyed the Stealth Tactics that we've outlined on this particular CD and that this bonus material really helps you to master the art of conversational hypnosis. It is an art form. But like any art form it has scientific principles behind it. As you practice each one of those, you'll find yourself really mastering the art itself. I hope that these are just some extra pieces for you to make mastering that art easier, more...
Persistence Tactic 4 The Law Of Compounding Effect
The final principle in this 'persistence tactics' toolkit you're building, is known as 'the law of compounding effect'. Now, this law is very similar to the 'yes-set'. And what it states is that, whenever someone actualises or acts out on a suggestion you've given them, they're more likely to act out the next one - they've become more suggestible. So the more you stack suggestions, one on top of the other, the more you 'piggyback suggestions' one on top of the other, the more suggestible that...
How to set an emotional trigger
So let's look in a bit more detail at how to actually set a trigger. Step 1 Use The 4 Stage Protocol The first stage of setting a trigger will be as we said before to use the 4-stage protocol to bypass critical thinking. You see, if there is too much conscious involvement, there will be a filter and a tendency to reject, possibly, your trigger before you set it. So you want to do this outside someone's awareness because that way it's more quickly and easily set. This does not mean you cannot...
Exercise 3
Exercise 3 is pretty much the same as 'Exercise 2'. Only this time you're going to expand your linguistic bridges beyond the '4 words of power'. To do this, simply turn to the back of your Conversational Hypnosis Manual, where you'll find 50-odd 'language bridge' cards, which will allow you to flow with language. The easiest way to use these is to just cut them out, and shuffle them into a random order. Then, make up an induction on the same theme - and remember relaxation, comfort and learning...
The 6 most common mistakes in building rapport
Let's have a look now at the 6 most common mistakes that people fall into when they try and build rapport with someone else. The very first thing that people do wrong is they try and be nice to people. Now, I'm not suggesting that you go out there and start being nasty to people or stop being nice. It's fine to be nice, but only to the extent that it doesn't break down your ability to share or communicate thoughts, ideas and feelings with someone else. The trouble with being nice is that...
