Podcast #148 – Conversational Hypnosis Part 1

Welcome to Brain Software Podcast, Episode # 148, podcasting not just from the Hypnotic World Epicenter, Toronto Canada, but also Hypno-East, Port Perry Canada too!  Let’s talk all about Conversational Hypnosis…Part One…

Conversation is awesome…and so is hypnosis, so let’s combine them…

Halibut and chips might be alright for you chaps…but what happens when we run out of gin?

Well who cares, because despite Corona virus…

THESE ARE STILL DAYS OF VICTORY!!!

Things are being cancelled everywhere! April and June AoH are cancelled in Toronto, as has the UK Hypnosis Convention in November.

THINK TANK WORDS:     INTROSPECT    CRANIOLOGY     FRUITION

  • Nevermind what you can’t do…what can you do?
  • What are you still able to control?
  • What are you putting in your brain during this downtime?
  • Chris is repainting his house, so Covid 19 is a blessing for him…
  • What the heck is conversational hypnosis? It’s the creation, utilization and termination of trance states without a formal trance induction…
  • All conversation is hypnotic! Conversation causes trance – especially if it’s interesting!
  • Emotional conversation will create a degree of kinaesthesis…
  • If you go into conversation with the intention of hypnosis it will be stronger…
  • Covert hypnosis is just conversational hypnosis that you don’t tell the person about!
  • Don Draper of Mad Men did pitches that were absolutely hypnotic!
  • Milton H. Erickson was arguably the greatest hypnotist who ever lived, but was too directive in his early days…
  • Igor Ledochowski did some great work in systematizing conversational hypnosis…
  • Check out the book Hypnotic Realities by Ernest Rossi
  • Wondering opens the mind to shifts, as does curiosity…
  • “Copywriting is conversational hypnosis in written form” – Chris Thompson
  • Mike’s opera tickets are cancelled and he’s missing Aida…
  • Do Enneagram 9s parallel process when they’re zoning out?
  • Chris certainly does, although he finds it difficult to accept.
  • In NLP, Uptime keeps us out of trance, which is Downtime…
  • You can use CH (conversational hypnosis) to unlock creativity, solve problems, etc.
  • How weird does CH have to sound? Not very, but sometimes people are heavy handed with it…
  • No need to sound like a lunatic, folks!
  • Bizzarro equals zero rapport…
  • Without rapport, changes may not last…
  • If you don’t calibrate, you won’t notice if you break rapport!
  • What are the 4 most important components of NLP? Meta-model, rapport, congruence and calibration! We call it MR CC…
  • You can’t see what you’re not looking for!
  • The Mandel Triangle: Congruence, Confidence, Conviction/Intention, with Calibration in the middle…Not Callejjonno!
  • You can see incongruence if someone’s staring at their iPhone 11 Pro Max instead of listening!
  • People who are not confident trigger our needy detector! Pleading drives people away!
  • Intention! This is a little woo woo…

A word from our sponsor: Jerry and the Smooth One

  • Pace yourself and gradually go slower…Just make sure you engage the person’s attention first!
  • When you go slower you are more able to calibrate and use intention
  • Use the subject’s exact words without translating them!

Empowering Questions: Ask yourself: How will I remember to notice the hypnotic shifts that are occuring in people as I speak with them…and what will I do…today…to be more hypnotic when I talk?

Metafive: The profound auditory memory

Ending: Henry Squatter and the Alice
