Part 2 Hypnosis

In Lesson 2:

• Hypnotic language patterns
• Trance Script
• Audio Download

WELCOME back! I hope you've had a chance to practise the things you learnt in lesson 1. Just a quick reminder, they were...

• Hypnosis is the focused, relaxed use of the brain's 'reality simulator'
• Hypnosis involves relaxation and focus
• You can create a hypnotic state by drawing attention to details of an experience or sensations
• You need to 'paint a picture' in the mind
• You use your voice softly and slowly to create relaxation
• You use nominalizations to create an 'inner search'

Phew, that's quite a lot of info! And we're only just getting started.

Lesson 2 : Hypnotic Language Patterns

In today's lesson, you will learn more about language patterns - that is, specific and precise ways of using words that help create a hypnotic experience.

If you listen to a truly crafted piece of hypnosis, it will almost seem like normal speech - well OK, maybe not normal, but certainly not "You are getting sleepy, your arms are getting heavy".

Why not?

Well because most people don't like to be ordered around, simple as that. That sort of language is neither natural nor acceptable to most people.

Elegant hypnotic language is much, much more subtle. So subtle in fact that adverts you watch every day are swimming in it - and you've probably never noticed.

But hold on! If that's hypnosis, isn't everything hypnosis?

Well yes! And no. The point is, there are ways of communicating that make it more likely for your suggestions to be accepted. That is what I mean by hypnotic language patterns. And this is just as important when you are doing self hypnosis. These patterns work on an unconscious level, so they even work on me!

The hypnotic language patterns that we're going to cover now are:

• Nominalizations (we've already done these, but they bear repeating!)
• Embedded commands
• Illusory choice
• Presuppositions
• Adjunctive suggestions
• Confusional language
• Metaphor and analogy

How to get good at hypnosis

To be a good hypnotist, you need to 'integrate' these language patterns so they become second nature to you.

The best way I can recommend (and the way the students on our courses learn), is to write out examples of the different patterns - as many as you can - then use them to record a hypnotic session onto tape or your computer.

However, listening to hypnosis sessions will make this much, much easier. Hearing the language patterns in action will help 'embed' them, and make you learn so much faster. (And, of course, you'll feel great while you're doing it! It's not really like study at all is it?

And when you do, I promise you will be absolutely astounded at the difference it makes to your communication, your confidence and your overall personal development.

Next time...

OK, so we've covered a lot this lesson, so I'll leave you to listen to your download and check out the language pattern script.

In lesson 3 in two days time, we'll be talking about 'structured' inductions and how you can use your new knowledge of hypnotic language patterns to create your own trance script.

Happy hypnotising!
