Language is indeed powerful. In fact, you unknowingly show others how you view the world by the words you use when speaking.

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.

In what way is this true?

Our subconscious mind loves consistency and so will try to interpret what it experiences in a way consistent with the words we use.

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.

So how can we 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.

Saying the right things

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.

One way to do this is to ask questions like What was that like for you? or How do you feel about that?

Its about focusing them inward so they can really understand how the way they see the world makes them feel.

Stage 2.

This second stage of the Milton conversational hypnosis model is to distract the listener’s conscious mind. This is done by using complicated and unclear language.

Erickson would chose words having the same sound, but with different meanings. Example words are sale-sail, wander-wonder, hear-here, right-write.

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.

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.

When words are incorrectly used, it confuses and distracts the conscious mind. This causes the conscious mind to look inward, asking for help from the subconscious mine.

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.

Once the mind has been distracted, the final step in the Milton Model is to access the subconscious minds resources.

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.

These are a few examples:

–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.

Maybe.

The critical point about conversational hypnosis is that someone will only go along with your commands if they don’t try to make her break her values and 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.

But, as you practice the Milton Model you will find that you will get better at influencing the people around you as long as you aren’t trying to manipulate them.
