Ericksonian Hypnosis Method

By Christopher Cohen

The first step to learning the skill of conversational hypnosis is to believe in yourself. This is the single most important facet of building your power of conversational hypnosis. Without the confidence to pursue the learning of this skill, you will ultimately fail. For those of you who are serious and willing to commit to the program, you will begin to yield the benefits of conversational hypnosis. The power of conversational hypnosis is based on two synergistic philosophies. These two schools of thought are pretty much identical. They are Ericksonian Hypnosis and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP). Together, these philosophies produce the art of conversational hypnosis.

The power of conversational hypnosis will give you the ability to influence people and your conversations with them in order to help improve you and your life. The basis of NLP and Ericksonian Hypnosis is through indirect suggestion that massages the unconscious mind in hopes that you will be able to resolve inner conflict that resides within your subconscious thus altering your behavior in what we commonly all refer to as Reality.

You can use the power of conversational hypnosis to transform your life and conversations. By using NLP and relaxation you are able to bring the other person into a state of persuasion. During this relaxed state, you are able to tamp in the unconscious and use indirect suggestion to control the tempo of the discussion. From there, you can enter the experiences that are stored in the deep subconscious to alter or adapt them.

Indirect embedded suggestion is how Neuro Linguistic Programming relates to the power of conversational hypnosis. Instead of a medical office environment, these techniques can be employed wherever and whenever. You may even find it fun and enjoyable to engage in conversation with just about anyone. The world will open up to you in ways that you never would have imagined. Every encounter will be an opportunity with the power of conversational hypnosis by your side.

One of the key things to remember is that the person you are speaking to must be relaxed. The more relaxed the person is that more they will be open to indirect embedded suggestion. For example, you can ask someone about their family, since family is typically personal and dear to them. However, if they seem to be agitated simply move to a another topic and shift your focus to that.

As you practice the power of conversational hypnosis, your skills in Ericksonian Hypnosis will become more natural and will become even more seamless as you induce the person into a state of relaxation. Once you've achieved this state of relaxation, you are now ready to embed indirect suggestions on the person. Neuro Linguistic Programming is now ready to be applied to the person in a deep state of relaxation.

The unconscious mind cannot discern between negations and affirmations. This is very important to keep in mind when choosing how you implement your indirect embedded suggestions. This can be exemplified in the following basic example. Imagine you are carrying a tray of wine to the patio and on your way, someone says "Be careful, don't spill them!" Even though this may seem to be a friendly reminder, what you don't know is that it has set in motion an increase in likelihood that you will actually spill the wine. This is because your subconscious mind and conscious mind cannot tell the different between the two.

Here is another example. Sit comfortably or lie down, whichever is more comfortable for you. Now, do NOT focus on your breath for 15 seconds. Now, take a 15 second break and come back when you're done. I'm gonna take a wild guess here and say that you thought about your breath for the whole 15 seconds. This is a basic example of how the unconscious mind cannot discern what a negation is.

Through NLP, you will be able to transform your life and improve your wellness. The power of conversational hypnosis will also enable you to make real changes in other people lives as well. Casual conversations will be more exciting and rewarding through engaging their subconsciousness. You should give the power of NLP and conversational hypnosis a try and see the difference it makes. - 31969
