Language is indeed powerful. In fact, you unknowingly show others how you view the world by the words you use when speaking.
Experts tell us that people not only use language to describe the world they see, but language and the words used actually help to create the world people experience.
How does this work?
Your subconscious mind actually tries to look at reality in a way consistent with the words you speak.
So with such a powerful tool on the tips of our tongues you can both shape the way others view the world by carefully choosing how and what you say.
Here's how you do this.
Using language and words the right way, actually allows you to hypnotize someone you speak to. I don't mean a complete hypnotic induction like you see in the movies, where someone lies on a couch. But rather, you can speak directly to their subconscious mind when you use the right words and tone of voice. This gives you the ability to influence people to view things the way you want them to.
This allows you to change how people behave by subliminally placing hypnotic suggestions during a friendly conversation.
What to say to do this?
Speaking to the subconscious mind is easier than you'd think. The world renowned hypnotist, Milton Erickson, pioneered a model for conversational hypnosis involving three stages:
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.
You can accomplish this by asking questions such as "How was that for you?", or "How does that make you feel?"
Its about focusing them inward so they can really understand how the way they see the world 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.
Erickson would chose words having the same sound, but with different meanings. Example words are sale-sail, wander-wonder, hear-here, right-write.
He would also use double binds that left the mind only a desired set of options. For instance, he would say something like, I don't know if you will fall into a trance now, or in five minutes.
The words he uses allow the subconscious only two alternatives: fall into a trance now or in a few minutes. This is also an example of an embedded command, fall asleep now or very soon.
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.
After the conscious mind has been distracted, the last stage of the Milton Model is to access the resources of the subconscious mind.
This can be done using a few methods. The most straightforward if by embedding subliminal commands into your sentences as you speak. Since they are subliminal, they will be transparent to the conscious mind, but heard clearly by the subconscious mind.
Here are some examples:
--I don't know if you will do the dishes now --You can do this, can't you? --You will do that, haven't you? (Yes, this is intentional it makes no sense to your conscious mind, but it does make sense to your subconscious)
You may be wondering, if I just say some confusing sentences to other people and use embedded commands, can i get them to do what I want them to?
The answer 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 can definitely speak to someones subconscious mind using the Milton Model techniques, but it takes a lot more than a quick conversation to change someones values.
Practicing the Milton Model, you can become quite good at applying conversational hypnosis to make embedded commands to covertly influence those around you.
