Language is a powerful thing. Although you may not know it, the words you use show others how you see the world.
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.
How does this work?
The words you use, encourage the subconscious to interpret reality in a way consistent with those words.
Just like your subconscious is affected by what you say, so too other people are affected by what you say. So this very powerful tool on the tip of your tongue can also be used to persuade other people to view the world how you want them to view it.
So how can we do this?
You can use language to hypnotize people you talk to. What I mean is that you can actually speak to the subconscious mind when you use the correct words and speak in the right tones. By doing this you have a huge ability to help people see things your way and even change how they see the world around them.
This allows you to change how people behave by subliminally placing hypnotic suggestions during a friendly conversation.
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 word clues in someone language to detect how they view the world. Especially, words revealing their feelings and what they see and hear. Once you spot the pattern you can use the person's own experiences to draw attention from the world outside, to their own inner world.
This can be done with questions like, "How do you feel about this?", or "What was that for you?"
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.
Milton Erickson spoke using words sounding very similar, but with entirely different meanings. A few good examples are here/hear, write/right, wonder/wander and sale/sail.
Milton deployed double binds to present only the set of options he desired. He'd say things like: We don't know if you'll begin a trance not or in 10 minutes.
This kind of language gives the mind no choice but to fall into a trance, and it uses an embedded command to do so now, or in 5 minutes.
Incorrectly using words, distracts and confuses the conscious brain and causes it to turn inward for help from the subconscious brain.
Well, that's a couple Milton Model techniques of mind distraction. I really don't know if you would want to learn a lot more about the Milton Model of conversational hypnosis now or later :)
STAGE 3.
Finally, once the conscious mind has been sufficiently distracted, the final stage in the Milton Model is to uses the resources of the subconscious mind.
There are a few methods of doing this. The simplest is to embed commands in your sentences, so they are not apparent to the conscious brain, but will be perceived by the subconscious brain.
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)
So, it sounds like all you need to do is say some confusing things to someone, with embedded commands and you can get her to do whatever you want.
Well, my answer to that is maybe.
One thing to remember about conversational hypnosis, and hypnosis in general, is that people cannot be made to do things that violate their values or 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.
With practice, you will greatly improve your ability to use conversational hypnosis to subliminally influence people around you
