Conversational hypnosis is not some sort of magic incantation known only to wizards and shifty looking geezers with unusually bad sideburns. It is actually a well established psychological technique used by professional people the world over. It is based upon clinical research and practice not myth and speculation. Conversational hypnosis is a set of clearly defined methods that achieve specific psychological effects. These methods can be learned by pretty much anyone.

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that you can sit in your chair, watch a couple of YouTube videos and then go out into the real world and convince your boss that he or she should give you a 15% pay rise and the rest of the month off. Conversational hypnosis is a skill and just like any other skill it takes time and effort to learn. However, it’s nowhere near as hard to learn as you might imagine. It’s not like trying to learn advanced mathematics but is rather more like learning to complete a Rubik Cube. There are a clearly defined number of moves that you need to understand and perfect, but you don’t need to be Einstein to do it. So what are the four main reasons that make this possible?

It’s just not as difficult as you might think.

If I tell you that conversational hypnosis is achieved by using hypnotic language to put someone in a trance and then make suggestions to their unconscious mind you will probably think that sounds pretty complicated. However that is because you don’t yet understand fully what those terms mean. If I then tell you that a trance is something that we all experience pretty much everyday and that there are some really simple language patterns you can use to put anyone in a trance, it starts to sound far less difficult.

The fact is, just like learning how to solve a Rubik Cube, there’s quite a bit of information you need to understand in order to do it. However this information, in itself, is not difficult to grasp. Perhaps more importantly, keeping the cube analogy going, you need to practice a lot to get really good at it. Fortunately there are some excellent online courses you can access that make it possible for you to learn conversational hypnosis (and how to solve a Rubik Cube if you like.) All you need is the time, commitment and focus to make it possible for you to hypnotize someone.

It’s not a matter of belief.

One of the most commonly held misconceptions about conversational hypnosis is that you need to believe in it for it to work. This is total nonsense.

It’s not a matter of faith. The person being hypnotized doesn’t need to believe in it for it to work because it’s about precise psychoactive techniques not wishful thinking. In fact, conversational hypnosis is actually most effective when the person being hypnotized doesn’t know that they are being hypnotized at all. As far as they are concerned they are having a chat with an engaging and interesting person. The hypnotist is the only one aware of the process and uses what they know to make suggestion within the context of the conversation. The subject registers this underlying message unconsciously. In effect, from the hypnotists perspective, there are two conversations occurring at the same time.

Hypnosis is a natural everyday occurrence.

The hypnotic trance is the most important part of the conversational hypnosis process. If you want to hypnotize anybody you must be able to put them into something called the open trance. Thereafter you need to be able to recognize the tell-tale signs that they are in a trance and keep them there while you make your suggestions to their unconscious mind. Sounds complicated but it really isn’t because we go in and out of trances all the time and they are relatively easy to induce.

Have you ever been watching TV, or listening to music or reading a book when someone asks you something and you fail to respond. It’s not that you’ve gone deaf or that you have suddenly decided to be rude and ignore everybody. Most of us will recognize that feeling of being aware of somebody talking to us but finding it difficult to answer because we are focused upon doing something else. This is a trance.

When our conscious thoughts are occupied in this way our subconscious is still aware otherwise it would be impossible to interrupt anyone. “Snap out of it” literally means snap out of the trance you are in. Just as our attention can be captivated by a movie or great tune so can we be utterly engrossed in conversation. By learning conversational hypnosis you simply discover the techniques that enable you to take full advantage of this completely natural and extremely frequent event.

Conversational Hypnosis is Available to Anyone.

There was a time, not long ago, when conversational hypnosis courses were only really available to a privileged few. This was, no doubt, due in part to the massive fees charged by the best hypnotists such as Igor Ledochowski. It will come as no surprise to you that business executives were, and remain, extremely keen to learn the incredible negotiation techniques that conversational hypnosis teaches. However, for many years, most people were simply denied the opportunity to learn these invaluable methods purely because of the cost.

However, as with pretty much every other activity, the Internet has dramatically changed this situation. There are now a wealth of resources available, that you can access online, that teach effective conversational technique. However, a word of warning. Whilst there are some extremely well written and constructed courses that genuinely provide all the information and support you need there are also many that are real garbage. Discretion is required if you are serious about learning conversational hypnosis but make no mistake, the techniques you can learn are incredibly powerful and can change your life.
