Would you like to gain a greater influence over situations in your life that require some form of negotiation? Perhaps you would like to be more in control in your business relationships, social interactions or perhaps your love relationship could benefit from your ability to clearly and powerfully express your point in a way that is totally understood by the other party involved.



This article is going to introduce you to Hypnotic Language and how you can use it very effectively to tip the balance well in your favour in situations were any type of negotiation is needed. You are about to learn the language that speaks directly to the subconscious mind without the listener even being aware of it.

Very clever hypnotists and NLP practitioners developed a way of manipulating common language words in order to fully relax their hypnotic subjects during hypnosis sessions. Through using hypnotic language in trance sequences and seeing how effective it was at influencing the listener NLP practioners and hypnotists took it a step further and developed hypnotic conversation that could be used in everyday situations. Hypnotic conversation is an extremely simple yet highly effective technique used to influence the listener subliminally to obey certain commands you give them. It is widely used by hypnotists and is even now being used by forward-thinking business people. This hypnotic language is extremely subtle and goes completely unnoticed by 99% of the population.

The technique itself is simple to perform but hard to explain. It starts with your tone of voice and it is your intonement of certain words that holds the power to influence. Firstly, you must place only the slightest amount of emphasis on the words in a sentence in order to change its meaning. For example you can change a spoken sentence that appears to be a question or proposal into a powerful command!

Let's take a simple example with the following sentence that a hypnotist would use during a trance sequence, "maybe you want to relax completely or maybe you just want to chill out" - seems straight forward enough. Here the hypnotist seems to be offering his subject a choice - the suject can relax only if he/she wants to. However, in this example he has only given the subject two choices ? he can either relax or "chill out". This is powerful in itself but the power of this sentence is greatly amplified when hypnotic language is also incorporated.

So to manipulate the sentence, and the subject, even further with the use of hypnotic language we need to change the sentence from the proposals "maybe you want to relax completely" and "maybe you just want to chill out" to the commands "you want to relax completely" and "you just want to chill out".

Doing this is quiet simple. However, before you can fully utilise this powerful technique it is wise to understand the reason why it is so effective.

The actual words you use are not as important as the way you convey them. Only 20 percent of the communication in any sentence you speak comes from what you are actually saying. Non-verbal communications, such as body language, tone of voice and gestures make up 80% of the meaning behind any message that you are trying to convey to people. This means regardless of the words you are using and what it is that you are actually saying, your body language, posture, eye movement, blood flow to the face and a myriad of other signals tells a person exactly what you are trying to communicate. For this reason we can often get the sense that someone is lying to us or not telling us the whole story even when they are swearing that what they are saying is the truth. Subconsciously we pick up on these non-verbal clues and "read" the situation as being different from how the person speaking is trying to convey it. Those people who can beat lie-detector machines can, either consciously or unconsciously, regulate these non-verbal communications to reflect the lies that they are telling ? however, thankfully, they are very few in number.

In your communications the intonement you use in your everyday lanugage is a very important factor in all speech. Your tone of voice can convey messages to your subconscious mind that go unnoticed by your conscious, rational mind. It is through the use of your tone and the spacing of your words that you can literally hypnotize the person you are speaking to. You can also use this technique to turn any words you want in a sentence into subliminal commands.

For instance in the above mentioned example the hypnotist would say the sentence in the following way, [slow and melodic] "maybe" [in a harder authoritative tone and with more emphasis "YOU WANT TO RELAX COMPLETELY", [slow and melodic] "or maybe" [again in a harder authoritative tone and with more emphasis] "YOU JUST WANT TO CHILL OUT".

You should be note that this effect is subtle. Until your attention is brought to the technique you will be totally unaware that it is being used - it only becomes noticeable when it is pointed out to you. Sometimes, however, during a hypnosis session you can be consciously aware that the hypnotist is speaking in a strange manner but you have no clue as to what exactly is going on. While listening you tend to believe this is only some part of the trance induction and a part of hypnosis. However, in a real-world situation the subtlety has to be observed even more for very obvious reasons.

Let's look at an example; you have a proposal to offer your business associates at an important meeting. It is important that you get your proposal accepted quickly and you therefore need to use anything that will tilt the balance of the decision in your favour. At this point you may decide to use hypnotic conversation to give you that added advantage. You may say something like the following, "perhaps if you give this some thought you may find that this is a good idea and one worth pursing now or maybe even in the future". This is simple enough suggestion that on its own has little power. However let's inject the same statement with some powerful hypnotic commands.

Try saying this: "Perhaps if you give this some thought you may find that -"

[Pause for a millisecond longer than normal and change your tone only slightly]

"This is a good idea and one worth pursing now"

[Shorten the normal pause between the last word and the next]

"Or, maybe even in the future".

The statement, through your use of tone and pacing, has become a hypnotic command. The subconscious mind of the listener notices the difference in tone as follows, "perhaps if you give this some thought you may find that THIS IS A GOOD IDEA AND ONE WORTH PURSUING NOW or maybe even in the future" and it takes the statement as a command to be followed.

You should play with this use of hypnotic language and hypnotic conversation until you can use it with ease. Be warned though, if you perform it in a hasty or unrehearsed manner it can be blatantly apparent to everyone what you are doing! The experts at hypnotic language speak in such a way that their intentions go totally unnoticed by the conscious mind and people just find them to be very persuasive.

Listen to some of your hypnosis tapes or hypnotists while they are speaking and see if you can identify the subliminal commands they are using during the trance sequences. This will ensure you start to develop and refine these new skills and make you a master at using them in no time. Try to listen to several different hypnotists because, as with everything else in life, some people are better at their job than others.

Before you try to use this skill in a real situation please practise it on someone you know well who will give you honest feedback. Speak a hypnotic command to them in several different ways and watch to see how their behaviour mimics your command than ask the person were they aware of anything different about your language. Ask them if they could make out the difference and if they knew what you were doing. After some practise and some surprising outcomes you will soon be using hypnotic conversation daily!
