One of the best ways to hypnotize and influence people is through the seeding of ideas. This is very powerful if used properly, so read on…

Once you get used to the ability to start seeding a certain thought or idea, and you build on it over progressive conversations, until the full thing – the full idea or process – has been placed inside someone’s head.

The way you can do this is very simple. Choose a very simple topic. For example, if it’s a sunny day, spend some time with a colleague, talking to them about how beautiful the sunshine is. Then, maybe a few hours later, have a chat in which you casually mention how you’d love to just be outside, relaxing in the sun right now.

And a few conversations on, maybe later in the day, you might talk about a pleasant holiday you had, in which you just relaxed in the sun and really enjoyed yourself.

Then, perhaps, by the end of the day, you could spontaneously turn around and say something like, “Hey, let’s go somewhere on holiday. Let’s go for a long weekend right now.”

Notice what you’ve just done. You’ve built up over successive conversations the simple idea of the sunshine, and enjoying the sunshine, to the point where going off somewhere on holiday, somewhere warm and relaxing, is just a part of the next step. The ideas have warmed up inside someone’s mind already.

Now, the fact is you can probably do this inside of one simple conversation. So why should you do it over several conversations rather than all at once?

The reason that it’s more powerful, or at least simpler, to split it up over successive conversations at first. When you seed an idea, you want to leave it room just sort of gestate, to germinate into the back of the mind – to begin to influence someone at the unconscious level, and to grow outside of their unconscious awareness.

So the way you do that is by introducing it in one conversation, and then maybe just changing topic, and coming back to the idea only later, in a different conversation. That way you’ll be sure that they’ve unconsciously processed it.

The danger of putting it all together into one conversation is that you run the risk that they may twig to the idea too soon on a conscious level; at which point it gets analyzed, and stands a higher risk of being criticized or rejected.

Of course later on, as you get more proficient with this, you can do this all in one conversation. It’s just that you’re much better at reading the signals, and knowing when is the right time to stop pushing, and allow the mind to just absorb the idea.

But for now, just enjoy the idea of going out and planting these little thoughts, little ideas, inside people’s heads, so that you can come back to them over a period of time. Of course, the more you do this, the easier and more fun this becomes.
