Did you ever question the validity of conversational hypnosis?

Lets get technical before we get into hypnosis...

The definition of "hypnosis"?

"To bypass the critial factor and establishment of acceptable selective thinking" would be the picky definition/meaning of the word.

What?! Lemme explain...

There's a part of the brain called the "critical factor". It prevents the subconcious from "listening" to crazy ideas/suggestions. If you were told dollar bills grow from the ground in Mikonos, you would reject the statement because the "critical factor" area of the mind compares it to the things you already know and rejects the statement...thus 'protecting' your subconcious mind from taking the info as true. Conversational hypnosis is an excellent tool in order to dissolve this barrier the subconcious has set up in order to protect itself.

When induced into hypnosis, the "critical factor" is shut down. The things the hypnotist tells you are then put into your subconcious without any problem. Since the "critical factor" is not examining the suggestion, it is believed and taken to be true by ...
... the subconcious mind. The suggestions you are given will be then taking effect on you (such as feeling as if it's true).

But bypassing this "critical factor" we speak of is not every piece of the puzzle. To put forth proper conversational hypnosis, you must make the subject focus their attention muchly. The "...establishment of acceptable selective thinking" is what we stated earlier about the technical definition of the word "hypnosis", remember? This is where that part of the definition becomes important and shown. Why 'acceptable'? It's simple: you can't TOTALLY control the CORE values and beliefs of someone with conversational hypnosis. For instance, if the hypnotist suggests you go and drown your pet cat, you will not do it if it's against what your core values and beleifs in life are. Conversational hypnosis is extremely effective - just do not use it for unrealistic situations.

If you're pondering the "conversational" part of conversational hypnosis, let's dig into it a bit here...

With conversational hypnosis, the subject's attention and focus is still narrowed & you still have to bypass the 'critical factor'...BUT the way it's done is with the subject completely concious and eyes open. The hypnosis that is being enacted into his/her mind is taking place without the person even knowing what's going on! In other words, using conversational hypnosis is changing a person's belief system in a totally unconcious manner!

The way this is set forth is by using a variety of non-verbal techniques along with some linguistic ones as well. The hypnotist must also implement a few rules that are laid out below. Please keep in mind that you do not have to follow each step to the tee and some of the steps can be established sometimes instantaneously!

The steps in order to apply effective conversational hypnosis are outlined here:

1.) Grab his/her attention and hold it. For obvious reasons you'll need their attention so you can suggest them shortly. It's required to have their attention - that way you'll be able to guide them into an open frame of mind.

2.) You must have rapport with him/her! Rapport can be defined as a relationship of mutual understanding or trust and agreement between people. Basically, it's a great feeling of closeness or connection with someone you're talking to and like. Establishing quality rapport with your subject BEFORE taking hypnosis into action is one of the most important parts of the hypnotic induction process.

3.) Inducing trance Here is where you, the hypnotist, will use SPECIAL WORDS to put your subject into a hypnotic-like trance with their eyes open being fully concious. One thing to consider here is that human beings go into these hypnotic states of mind naturally...all the time! A quick example would be when you ask a salesman about a particular car on the lot you know NOTHING about. All his answers would be taken in as a form of conversational hypnosis simply because you know nothing about the subject so nothing would be questioned critically by your mind. Naturally, human beings do not question things critically. What happens most of the time is they take the new information and store it as the truth! For instance, lets take the news on TV! Most people do NOT watch the news and take the information critically. The information that they hear is not questioned critically and is generally supported as being true. So is the concept of conversational hypnosis starting to make a little sense to you now?

4.) Send suggestions out. Now is when you begin 'programming' his/her subconcious mind with the instructions/suggestions to stay in the subconcious of their mind and be taken as the truth. So many different effective techniques can be used that have been developed for bringing forth the suggestions to your subject in such a way that he/she does not realize this is happening to them. The website mentioned below this article will help you in actually bringing forth the proper techniques of doing this.

Congratulations! You now have the information needed to start looking into the powerful skill of conversational hypnosis!

P.S. Are you thinking about how long the process takes? Well, that can greatly vary from person to person - client to client - hypnotist to hypnotist. There are many circumstances and factors to take into consideration. There are cases where, with just the right blend of tonality and body lanuage, a hypnotic trance can be stirred up into someone within a matter of SECONDS! The world of hypnosis is that of an exciting and deep one - but as soon as you realize how simple, powerful, and effective it can be, you'll then have one of the most powerful tools anyone on the planet can have in their toolbox of life!
