Podcast #163 – Hypnotic Language

•  We aren't saying that these are magic words, folks! But they can be hypnotic...
• There can be words of transformation and reconsideration...
• Without rapport, the change will not last!
• Act as though the other person is the most important and fascinating person in the world. Then add intention...
• Watch for your vocal inflexion too! Don't sound weird...
• Mike is really glad he's not onstage tonight! He's dreamed about doing shows again...
• You don't need a gong to do hypnosis!
• Mike used to get two of his friends to violently wrestle on people's lawns on the way home from school...It was hypnosis!
• Embedded commands are delivered through analog marking...
• You can embed commands through tone, or by pausing, or touching the person, etc.
• You must do embedded commands subtly enough that the conscious mind doesn't notice them, but obviously enough that the unconscious mind does...
• TRY is a word we use when failure is intended! The word implies failure...
• JUST causes reconsideration, based on simplicity! Minimize the difficulties!
• When you frame a proposition as a positive, people have no reason to resist it!
• Listen for the ellipses! It means incongruence...
• BUT essentially eliminates everything that went before it. AND doesn't do that!
• Enneagram Type Nine don't like conflict, so they should use AND instead of BUT...
• Instantly dissociate whenever you're criticised! It will keep the bad emotions at bay...
• WHAT IF...? can be an amazing pair of words to lead to a reframe!
• "You're all just a bunch of stupid turkeys!" 
• Use the Quotes technique! It permits you to say virtually anything to anyone!
• AND YET...is another excellent segue that hits a reset button to access resources!
• CAN YOU IMAGINE..? People can always imagine and it's a soft way to cause consideration of a key point...It looks at possibilities and can be the first step to change...
• YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE NOTICED...draws attention to things outside of awareness...
• BECAUSE can be your best friend if you're attempting to influence someone! Make sure what's in front of it is a stand-alone command...
• Mike was wrong about Cialdini's book, but he admits it, so it's okay!
• WHAT WILL IT BE LIKE WHEN...? There's a huge presupposition here, folks!
• What would you like to have happen? This unpacks a lot of material...
• FEEL - FELT - FOUND This is a great pattern that removes resistance. It's the language of persuasion! 
• SOONER OR LATER or EVENTUALLY presupposes something will happen...
• TAG QUESTIONS are at the end of the sentence and difficult to disagree with, aren't they?
• DOUBLE-BINDS offer only two alternatives, either one of which is going to get you what you want!
• Use this stuff, because it works!

Empowering Questions:

What will it take...for eventually that thing...you want to have happen...that has been...elusive...to show itself...as an action that will take you...I mean really take you...to the fruition...of all that's needed...for you...so by changing yourself...it all will occur?
