How To Become A Spectacular Conversational Hypnotist

The other day I was talking to a friend of mine, and he told me he was tired. I began to speak to him, and soon noticed that his blink rate had slowed way down, his eyes were glazed over, and he was staring at me with rapt attention. I was speaking about how easy it is to just zone out, into a pleasant, relaxed state of mind, how easy it is to naturally and automatically go in and out of trance states, and how it can help your unconscious mind to work quietly in the background, to heal you physically and mentally and to do all it needs to do, as you sit there in a pleasant state of calm. A few minutes later this friend turned and looked at me, his eyes red and watery, as if he had just woken up, a relaxed expression on his face ‘wow’ he said ‘I’m majorly zoning out now!’

A few months before this My Mother had told me that one of her friends was suffering from chronic insomnia. She had not been able to sleep more than an hour per night for several months, and she was falling apart. She had seen a team of doctors who had prescribed her useless drugs and eventually referred her to Auckland’s number one sleep psychologist. This big shot charged her an outrageous sum of money, and proffered the helpful advice that her insomnia was now so bad that it had caused a chemical imbalance in her brain and tried to put her on a heavy course of anti depressants. She went home that afternoon to think about it. She was opposed to drugs, anti depressants in particular, but she thought this was her only option. She called up my mother to discuss the matter. My mother mentioned that her son was a hypnotist, and might be able to help. Many years before her battle with insomnia she had successfully used hypnosis to quit smoking, but the hypnotist she saw quickly after her insomnia began had been unable to help her. It was only reluctantly therefore, that she agreed to talk to me on the phone for a few minutes.

In less than 15 minutes I hung up the phone. The next morning she contacted us. She was ecstatic, over the moon. She had slept perfectly without resorting to the potentially harmful and very expensive drugs. This was several months ago, and she’s still sleeping perfectly today.

Fair from being unethical and manipulative, covert or conversational hypnosis is perhaps one of most powerful vehicles for positive change there is.

It helps to think of conversational hypnosis as hypnotizing someone without them knowing it. Naturally the ability to induce trance in people and deliver to them hypnotic suggestions within an apparently normal conversation is an incredibly useful skill to have.

The fact is, we all communicate with people all the time. The very fact that you are reading this means that I am communicating with you. Since communication is something that we do all the time we might as well learn how to do it right.

Now conversational hypnosis is a huge topic, and one that you never stop learning. When you learn conversational hypnosis You’ll find that your skill as a communicator just naturally and tremendously increases, and you will just start realizing how easy it is to get what you want from life, and help so many other people to do the same.

As conversational hypnosis is such a broad topic I will not go into it all here. I will instead teach you perhaps the most important skill in conversational hypnosis there is, and one that is often over looked by many supposed ‘gurus.’

You see, a few months ago I was chatting to a man who I consider to be one of the world’s greatest hypnotists, and definitely the man to see if you want to learn covert hypnosis; Igor Ledochowski.

I asked him what he would teach someone if they knew nothing about conversational hypnosis, they really wanted to learn and he was really determined to help them as much as possible, but he only had 10 minutes to spend.

He said he would teach them how to Go There First.
A crucial ability for any conversational hypnotist is then ability to change someone’s state of mind.
As a salesman you may want to induce a ‘buying’ state
As a therapist a state of trance or even relaxation, as a friend a state of happiness, and with anyone you meet; a state of deep rapport and liking. The quickest and easiest way of inducing any state in anyone is to enter that state yourself beforehand. They will observe you entering into this particular state of mind by noticing your unconscious signals and gestures beginning to change, and will typically follow you into the exact same state. If you are already a hypnotist you will find this immensely useful to you as you do your trance inductions. If you drop yourself down into a trance as you do your induction your subjects will unconscious pick up on this and typically end up entering into much deeper and profound states than usual.

When you learn how to Go There First and lead your hypnotic subjects into the state you want them in you will find that people naturally and instantly fall into the perfect state of mind, whether that be a deep state of trust, a feeling of desire or happiness or even a hypnotic trance.

If the emotional state you want them in is too contrasting to the state they are currently in, you may want to enter that state first and lead from there.
So if one of your friends is in a really bad mood, really miserable and you want to have them be delighted and energetic. If you went straight from your normal state to this pumped up happy state, you are likely to leave them behind, and create dis rapport.
What you could do instead would be to enter into deep rapport with them before hand (by simply using the three step formula below to enter and project the rapport state) or even, if you are careful, drop yourself down into their negative state, and gradually lift yourself out.

Here’s a the simple step by step formula to help you out, remember that often it helps to do this with a state or liking trust and rapport before you try and radically change someone’s state of mind.

1. Think of the ideal state that you would like whoever you are talking to to be in (the best possible way they could be feeling right now, whether it be rapport, or something else)
2. Remember a time when you felt that feeling really powerfully, and focus on it until you begin to feel it, to live it right now.
3. Really exude that feeling, live it in your gestures, your voice, your posture, really project it powerfully to all the people around you.

I am sure I do not need to tell you how amazingly powerful this technique is, when you start using and practicing this technique you will be amazed at just how powerful and simple changing people’s moods really is.

As you learn more about conversational hypnosis make sure you always keep ethics in mind. Do what’s best for you and your subjects, and help people to live the best lives they can. Soon conversational hypnosis will become so easy and natural for you that you won’t even realize when you are doing it. You’ll find that even your regular overt hypnosis somehow becomes more effective and powerful, as you integrate these most powerful methods of communication deep into your unconscious. Have fun, be creative and adventurous and actually use what you learn, and soon you will be a spectacular conversational hypnotist.
