One Sentence Persuasion

If you haven’t read Blair Warren’s “One Sentence Persuasion” course yet, it’s time to do so know. It’s excellent materials.

Andy was writing about it over at his hypnosis blog, and that reminded me it would be a good idea to do so too!

Lots of Crap

I’m just going through a lot of blog posts and discussion forum posts about hypnosis and I’m wondering what are people up to? I just don’t get it how so many people can talk about things that they don’t know anything about, yet they’re absolutely convinced that they know what all, and that their opinion is the only one that counts, and that they’re right in everything they say and claim.

This surely isn’t limited to the field of hypnosis. You can find ignorance mixed with arrogance pretty much everywhere. But I feel that’s especially true when hypnosis, maybe because pretty much everyone can go out there and call himself hypnosis.

Now just to be sure that I make myself clear, I am not saying that you should somehow protect the title hypnotists, and that people should only be allowed to claim being a hypnotists if they have passed some kind of expand more license law if they have some kind of psychologic decree. Really I think there are just as many bullshitters with the university diploma as there are bullshitters in the used car salesman profession.

But still a bit upsetting, see and read so many lives, and false statements about hypnosis. For example, I can tell you how often I read just today the statement that some people are not hypnotizable. That’s just not true. Everybody is hypnotizable. It’s just that some people don’t respond well to a certain standard kind of induction. That doesn’t mean that they are not hypnotized but, it just means that they are not hypnotizable using that specific standard kind of induction. If you give them an hypnotic induction that is tailored to their personality and to bear strategy of going into a hypnotic trance, you will find that they could just as well and just as easily into a hypnotic trance as anybody else.

Hypnosis Video: How To Mirror For Rapport

Here is the video by a hypnotist where he explains the concept of mirroring from NLP and how it can be applied to hypnosis. it’s a way to establish rapport. And if you know anything about hypnosis, then you know that all work you dowill be a lot easier if you have rapport with your hypnotic subject.

he says how he uses mirroring to establish rapport with clients in his hypnosis practice.however, he hasn’t exactly gotten that down right. In fact, for such an experienced hypnotist he’s doing a pretty crappy job of explaining it. I respect him, a cross I know he does great work. But in this case he just messed it up. He talks about mirroring as if you almost exactly have to replicate the movements of the other person. And he talks about if the person is doing a certain movement of the right-hand how you have to copy that movement with a left-hand so that you are like a mirror to him. But that is really not how mirroring works. It’s how many people who have a stick up their asking the mirroring works. But it’s not how Richard Bandler, the guy actually invented that technique does it.you don’t wouldn’t blatantly like that. It’s enough if you do it so. In fact it’s better to suck. So that their consciousness doesn’t pick up the cues, but subconsciously they fear that there is the relation they feel that you two are alike.

Learning NLP To Hypnotize

If you really want to learn and master hypnosis my suggestion is that you also look into NLP, neuro linguistic programming. To me NLP really is a highly systematized kind of hypnosis. LP was developed by Richard Bandler and John grinder in the 60s and 70s, but it continues to evolve and to this very day. In the meantime it has helped millions of people to improve their lives, get over the problems, get out of therapy, make more money, and is more fulfilling lives, have better relationships, lose weight, stop smoking, get over full of using psychics and a lot.

The work that Richard Bandler and John grinder did when they modeled Dr. Milton H. Erickson, the legendary hypnotist, is the foundation of conversational hypnosis.every conversational hypnosis course or seminar that is out there today is based on this work. Especially Richard Bandler can be accredited with that. Early in his career he often told the story of how he first met Milton H. Erickson. Erickson was talking to a group of students. And one of the things he said was: we can just scratch the surface, because nobody knows…and Richard noticed that people around him are scratching their noses after he said. Why was that? Because Ericsson embedded a hypnotic command in that sentence.look at that italized words: scratch knows. not one of those words are written differently, when you speak them “scratch knows” sounds just like “scratch nose”.

The reason why the work also was that Erickson used on analogue marking. you can find out more about conversational hypnosis on my website.

Be aware that conversational hypnosis is highly manipulative, and many people have an issue with that. But my opinion is, if you learn how manipulation works, you yourself will be better protected against it. And, you will be able to use it for the good of other people, instead of using it against them.

NLP Video Demonstration: Eliminating Compulsions

NLP video demonstration that shows how to eliminate compulsions in other people.

The lady has some weird compulsions, for example when she buys teddy bears and it’s a baby teddy, then she feels like that baby teddy needs a mother teddy, as if they can’t be alone. Obviously she realizes that she has a problem and she talks pretty open and relaxed about it.

She also collects papers with goods ideas, and… ah, just watch the video yourself. Steve Andreas fixes this woman, so it will be well worth your time.

interestingly enough, he tells the lady to INCREASE the feeling of compulsion. (Remember Milton H. Erickson, how he helped people to stop smoking with hypnosis? He often told them to smoke MORE cigarettes, because that implied that they had control over their cigarette consumption, and from there took them to quit smoking easily).
