Using Hypnotic Speech

Language is indeed powerful. In fact, you unknowingly show others how you view the world by the words you use when speaking.

Experts believe that in addition using language to speak about the world they see, the words people use help to actually create the world they experience.

In what way is this true?

Your subconscious mind actually tries to look at reality in a way consistent with the words you speak.

This powerful tool on the tips of our tongues not only affects us, but also affects people listening to us. So you can change the way someone else views the world by consciously choosing certain words to help their subconscious form a world view you desire.

Here’s how you do this.

Using language and words the right way, actually allows you to hypnotize someone you speak to. I don’t mean a complete hypnotic induction like you see in the movies, where someone lies on a couch. But rather, you can speak directly to their subconscious mind when you use the right words and tone of voice. This gives you the ability to influence people to view things the way you want them to.

In other words you can change the way people behave by saying the right things in the right way.

So what are the “right things to say?

Reaching the subconscious mind is not as hard as you may think. One of the best hypnotists ever, Milton Erickson, developed a model for what I will call conversational hypnosis that has three basic steps. This is called the Milton Model. The three stages of the Milton Model are:

Stage 1.

Look for signs that reveal how the person views something. Notice the language used. What words does she use to describe her feelings. After you spot the pattern, use her experiences to lead her attention to her own inner experiences.

One way to do this is to ask questions like What was that like for you? or How do you feel about that?

This is focusing them inward where they will understand how their world view makes them feel.

Stage 2.

The second part of the Milton Model is to distract the conscious mind. Milton did this by using very complex and ambiguous language.

Erickson would chose words having the same sound, but with different meanings. Example words are sale-sail, wander-wonder, hear-here, right-write.

He liked using double binds, which only presented the desired options. For example, he might say the following: I can’t tell if you will enter a trance now, or in a few minutes.

The words he uses allow the subconscious only two alternatives: fall into a trance now or in a few minutes. This is also an example of an embedded command, fall asleep now or very soon.

When words are used in the wrong way on purpose in a sentence, they confuse and distract the conscious mind. When this happens the conscious mind turns inward, basically asking the subconscious mind for help which is exactly what we want!

These are a few of the Milton Model methods of distracting the conscious mind. I’m not sure if you want to learn about the Milton Model now or later

Stage 3.

Once the mind has been distracted, the final step in the Milton Model is to access the subconscious minds resources.

This can be done using a few methods. The most straightforward if by embedding subliminal commands into your sentences as you speak. Since they are subliminal, they will be transparent to the conscious mind, but heard clearly by the subconscious mind.

Some examples are things like:

–I’m not sure if you will do the dishes right now –You can do it, can’t you? –You will do this, didn’t you? (I know this doesn’t make sense to your conscious brain, but it makes plenty of sense to your subconscious brain)

You may be wondering, if I just say some confusing sentences to other people and use embedded commands, can i get them to do what I want them to?

Maybe.

The critical point about conversational hypnosis is that someone will only go along with your commands if they don’t try to make her break her values and genuine beliefs.

You are able to use conversational hypnosis to give commands to someone’s subconscious mind, but it will take a good deal more than just conversational hypnosis to actually change her value or belief system.

But, as you practice the Milton Model you will find that you will get better at influencing the people around you as long as you aren’t trying to manipulate them.
