Breakthrough Strategies for Power Living

Put the power of hypnosis to work and experience happiness, fun, wealth, balance, satisfaction and quality of life. If your work requires marketing, sales, negotiations, leadership, coaching, teaching and any personal communications to inspirer or influence others, then understanding and learning conversational hypnosis will be one of your greatest assets.

Linguists, who extensively study language patterns have recorded and documented that most charismatic ministers, preachers, negotiators, lawyers, coaches and top salespeople use forms of conversational hypnosis that powerfully influence others. Donald Moine and Kenneth Lloyd in their book "Unlimited Selling Power" say: "The techniques are so subtle, so natural, and so friendly, that few people consciously recognize their hypnotic powers."

Conversational hypnosis is "ethical and powerful" and the techniques used by highly influential communicators are nearly "identical in structure to the communication techniques used by hypnotist."

Hypnotic techniques have been use inside the advertising and marketing world for years, mostly undetected by the average consumer. History proves that hypnosis is a part of our everyday life. Think for moment the last time you were "mesmerized" by the glib tongue of your minister, or a salesperson that had you in your imagination somewhere sailing off into the sunset somewhere in the south pacific.

There are three stages or levels of hypnosis observed everyday in people. We go from a light hypnosis, which appears in the form of daydreaming, to a medium-level, where we are oblivious to outside distractions and then to the deepest-level known as hypnotic amnesia. Each level plays a major roll in our lives.

Light hypnosis produces a wonderful altered state of awareness for reprogramming our mind. This enables us to program for higher levels of success and focused energy.

Medium-level hypnosis produces deeper levels of relaxation for stress reduction and is very powerful and extremely helpful for blocking out noise when studying or reading.

The deepest levels of hypnosis are use for medical procedures as an anesthesia. Athletes use a deepening with self-hypnosis for better performance while decreasing pain.

In the corporate world of sales, marketing and negotiations we find more top performers are using hypnosis for stress reduction, goal achievement and communications.

Learning conversational hypnosis is a skill, when mastered, becomes a powerful tool for eliciting the cooperation of the listener. However, while conversational hypnosis frequently triggers the powers of the imagination it simply will not "overrule the listener's logic and reason."

Four ways of communicating your message hypnotically are:

1. "Verbal" -- The words that we use to construct our message.
2. "Non-verbal" -- selected gestures of body language and facial expressions.
3. "Intraverbal" -- Intonations and voice inflections.
4. "Extraverbal" -- Synergistic combination of words used, body and facial gestures, expressions, voice intonations, and inflections.

Power living is all about living the life you want. Recognizing hypnosis as a part of everyday life is a start to a more balance and profitable lifestyle. Learning and applying the science of self-hypnosis and mastering conversational hypnosis enables' you to have an edge in life and become more proactive. You will overcome fears, phobias, procrastination, reduce stress, improve memory, have more energy, eliminate any unwanted or unproductive habits and excel in any sport of your choice.

3 Magic Stages of Hypnotic Trance


Specialists have estimated that there are probably over one hundred different stages of hypnotic trance. Until 19th century neurologist, Dr. Jean Charcot, established them at three distinct stages, hypnotists and physicians wrangled for years over the number of stages or levels of trance.

Thanks to Charcot, we will observe the three as follows:

· Light - lethargy or the hypnodial state.
· Medium - catalepsy or the moderate and intermediate state.
· Deep - somnambulism or the somnambulistic state.

In the 20th century the Davis-Husband scale was established by two hypno-therapists who observed the three distinct stages but divided each stage into ten sub Levels. By a more sensitive allocation to both suggestion and effect, the Davis-Husband scale permits one to determine more precisely the depth to which his client has descended.

With ten sub levels for each stage this then accumulates 30 for the three distinct stages.

LETHARGY OR LIGHT STAGE

This preliminary level of relaxation is not much more than what it is called, a lethargic or lightly relaxed state.

The subject will be fully aware of his surroundings and will remember the details of an entire session.

If ordered, he will (usually) close his eyes and appear somewhat relaxed. He will agree to move small muscles only. (eyelids, fingers, toes, etc.) In this light state, his eyelids may flicker - something you will seldom, if ever, see in medium or deep state.

Facial muscles will sag only a little and some stiffness may still be observed in the body. Breathing will usually not be heavy, as in the medium or deep state. Complicated suggestions are futile.

Posthypnotic suggestion and induction to create amnesia or to block pain are generally ineffective in the light state.

In the light state the subject is persuaded or coaxed rather than commanded by the hypnotist.

It is evident that the hypnotist is not in complete control of the subject. This is a good time, though, for the practitioner to determine which persons in a group are more hypnotizable than others.

The hypnotist may wish to determine what subjects need more conditioning. This is not to say that at first sessions all persons respond only to the light state. As every experienced hypnotist knows, we are often pleasantly surprised by newcomers who manifest somnambulistic qualities at the very first session. This is one of the wonderful mysteries of hypnosis.

Many students have inquired if hypnosis or the trance state is the same as the Alpha state.

The answer is no!

Alpha, or roughly 7! to 12 energy revolutions per second as generated by the brain, is the drowsy, dreamy state apparently preceding sleep. This, however, is not necessarily the hypnotic state.

At times it is called the "Hypnogogic" state, which aligns it very closely to hypnosis, but not necessarily to the true hypnotic state.

The subject may well slide in and out of Alpha, Beta or Theta while hypnotized. We do know that those individuals who more readily induce Alpha make excellent hypnotic subjects.

Generally in the hypnotic state there is some direction either from the hypnotist, or as in auto-hypnosis. The hypnogogic state appears to be without intentional control, as in reverie or relaxed fantasy.

CATALEPSY OR MEDIUM STATE

Once into this intermediate state, your subject becomes much more responsive to direction by the hypnotist. He/she will move large muscles (arms, legs) more readily, and will be partially if not fully susceptible to posthypnotic suggestion. He/she will be more or less aware of what is going on and his/her surroundings.

He/she may or may not remember the proceedings. As you can see, this state is in contrast to the light state - the subject will be definitely more relaxed and more responsive. His/her eyes will be closed upon command and he will "appear" hypnotized and be more under the control of the hypnotist.

He/she will follow suggestions much more readily and precisely. He/she will be breathing deeper and have the ability to block pain more effectively or to use waking hypnosis.

Positive reflexive tests - the hand clasp, rigidity test, postural sway, locked eyelids and glove anesthesia are characteristic of the medium state, as is the feeling of timelessness and the susceptibility to posthypnotic suggestion.

On the Davis-Husband scale, the medium state can vary from 10 to 20 or from deep-light to light-medium to medium-medium and thence to deep-medium.

It is in the medium-medium to deep-medium that the expression on the face changes from a slight smile to a blank look or one of awe.

Note, too, the deeper, more rhythmic breathing. These are signs for the trained hypnotist to recognize in determining depth of trance.

SOMNAMBULISM OR DEEP STATE

In this, the deepest state of hypnosis, there is no doubt or question as to the hypnotizability or the depth of trance exhibited by the subject.

In this state the subject is completely and absolutely under the control of the hypnotist and will perform or assent to almost any suggestion insofar as it does not subconsciously conflict with learned values, standards or ethics.

In the deepest state, or deep-deep, the subject will remember nothing and will be totally unaware of his surroundings.

To all intents and purposes, the somnambulist is in "sleep" yet will follow each suggestion or command explicitly, He/she will follow posthypnotic suggestions flawlessly.

He/she will hallucinate upon command and evidence complete amnesia at a word from the hypnotist.

In fact, he/she will respond to the hypnotist's directions even if they are absurd or ridiculous, He/she will open his/her eyes, yet remain in the deepest state - and he/she will see whatever the hypnotist directs him/her to see, whether the object is real or imaginary.

At command, his body can change from rigid to limp in a split second. Reflexive tests are followed minutely and perfectly.

There is no questioning the astonishing evidence of hypnosis when observing someone in this state.

In the light or even at times in the medium, a cynical spectator may question the validity of the hypnotic state and perhaps call a given demonstration "role-playing," but with a subject in the deep state this would not be possible.

Many a critic has become a convert to hypnosis after viewing a skilled hypnotist working with a somnambulistic subject.

No one expects all clients to be somnambulists. Subjects who easily drift into "deep-deep" are probably in the one-in-four ratio as found by Dr. Hilgard of Stanford in his hypnotizability studies; and this has been our experience as well.

In view of this, the new hypnotist should not be disappointed because a client fails to reach somnambulism.

Too many new practitioners seem to feel that they are at fault or their technique ineffective because a client or group shows only light or medium trance. With experience, the hypnotist learns that somnambulists are in the minority and that the deepest state is not at all necessary for teaching self-hypnosis.

The preconditioning of a client, before he ever sees a hypnotist, has a great deal to do with his hypnotizability. How he feels about hypnosis, correct or incorrect, will (in part) be determined in your first interview. You will attempt to learn what may affect the receptivity and cooperation of the client.

A person's attitude toward hypnosis will often construct either a good subject or one who needs considerable conditioning and practice. If a client is afraid and has been pressured into seeing you, you can be sure there will be some problems inducing relaxation and trance.
The experienced hypnotist Learns to expect and welcome all types of people from varying walks of life who also differ in degree of hypnotizability.

You Can't Sell Anybody Anything, Or What's Wrong With This Picture


Professional marketers have long known that we really cannot sell anybody anything, but what we can do is remove the objections that people have to buying.

Simply stated, when you offer somebody the opportunity to participate in your hypnosis training program or any other type of training program and they don’t buy, there are some objections.

You need to know what the objections are so you can remove them. Until you remove the objections, people will not buy the training.

Sometimes people have implied objections that are not overt. For example, if you're offered a $50,000 car for $1,000, a flag raises in your mind that says "I have an objection; the objection is "I don't find the price to be credible, based on what I believe; therefore, I will not buy". I will respond with "What's wrong with the car?"

There may or may not be anything wrong with the car but, based on the perceived values that we have pre-programmed in our minds, we believe there's something wrong with it and don't buy. We simply say "What's wrong with it?"

This is like the game that we play where we look at a picture and things are wrong -- a bird is upside down in a tree, or a car has three wheels, and the caption reads "What's wrong with this picture?"

For us, as human beings, we go through life looking at pictures the way we think they should be, because we have pre-conceived notions of the way things should be.

Self-hypnosis training is so misunderstood that you must assume that people are going to not understand the program or the benefits. That’s why you have to demonstrate the power, and credibility of the program right in people’s faces.

When we present the Hypmovation training opportunity to a prospective client who doesn’t really understand what its power and benefits are, the objection flag raises and they don't buy. To sell the training, you have to remove the objections that they have to buying.


The way you find out what the objections are is to ask. Period!


For as painful as it seems, you must ask. You may not assume; you must ask what's wrong with the picture. Once you know what's wrong, you can remove the objections.

Facts Tell, But Stories Sell And People Don't Buy Hypnotherapy Services, They Buy Benefits.

Question: Why would someone pay for cosmetic surgery?
The answer is “To look better (in their own judgment).”

Why not just buy a new face and stick it on? Because you can't buy them, that's why!

Until somebody invents stick on faces, thousands of people each year are stuck. They have to buy a service they don't want called cosmetic surgery. What they want is the benefit of the service called a newer, better looking face.

In reality, we'd rather buy a new face and stick it on. It's a lot easier and less painful than the surgery. Remember that people don't buy hypnotherapy services, they buy benefits.
Facts Tell, But Stories Sell And People Don't Buy Hypnotherapy Services, They Buy Benefits.

In order to sell somebody something, you just have to remember what it is that we're offering. The problem is that, as human beings, we tend to forget facts, and we tend to remember stories. This is an inherent characteristic of the human memory system.

It's not a miraculous revelation. In fact, it's been known from time immemorial. All the great books of religion in the world are written in story form. We teach children using stories, and we do this because stories are easy to remember.

When we want somebody to remember what it is that we're offering them through the use of hypnotherapy, we need to tell stories.

Consider that if you were to be asked right now how much you could remember of what you learned in high school, you would probably say "very little". On the other hand, if you were asked if you could remember your first date, you would probably think for a moment and say "yes".

An interesting question then comes to mind, and that is, since both of these were at about the same period of your life, why is it easier to remember one than the other?

The answer is this. You do, in fact, remember a great deal of what you learned in high school. In fact, you use it every day. You just don't remember it with any degree of specificity, because what you learned was an endless string of facts and data that were to be used in your daily life in your work.

Your first date, however, is a story. There are names, faces, people, and places connected with it. You could probably tell a story and, if you stop and think about it deeply, you can probably recall sounds, and some people can even recall scents and odors.

Therefore, when you're selling hypnotherapy services, it's important, if you want them to remember it, that you put it in the form of a credible story in a prose format if you will, so that it's easy for them to hold onto and remember the story.

All the great books of religion in the world were written in story form. We teach children using stories. Here's a perfect example for you to think about:

You go to the store and see a copy of Good Housekeeping. The headline reads, 25 Ways to Keep the Kids Quiet On A Long Trip in the Car. "Just what I need", you say to yourself.

You buy it for the story and you read it for the copy. Facts tell, but stories sell. The story is in the headline and that's what got you to buy the magazine.

Do you recall the book "How to win Friends and Influence People?" The title is 10% primary message, 90% implication. The implication is that you're going to learn how to win friends and influence people.

That may or may not be true but that's why you purchased the book. Whether you really accomplish the task of winning friends and influencing people is another matter, but the title of the book said you could and you believed it.

You see what you believe, and you buy the book.

The implications of the advertising and marketing of hypnotherapy are:

• Facts tell but stories sell and
• People don't buy hypnotherapy - they buy the benefits.

As you're developing advertising and marketing plans, remember to tell good credible stories about the benefits of your hypnotherapy services, as perceived by the buyer, not you as a seller.

Now! You may be lying in bed tonight and you will hear a little voice inside say maybe I should!
