Uses of Hypnotic Speech

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.
How does this work?
The words you use, encourage the subconscious to interpret reality in a way consistent with those words.
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.
Here's how you do this.
You can use language to hypnotize people you talk to. What I mean is that you can actually speak to the subconscious mind when you use the correct words and speak in the right tones. By doing this you have a huge ability to help people see things your way and even change how they see the world around them.
In other words you can change the way people behave by saying the right things in the right way.
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.
This can be done with questions like, "How do you feel about this?", or "What was that for you?"
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.
Milton Erickson spoke using words sounding very similar, but with entirely different meanings. A few good examples are here/hear, write/right, wonder/wander and sale/sail.
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.
This kind of language gives the mind no choice but to fall into a trance, and it uses an embedded command to do so now, or in 5 minutes.
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.
These are only a couple of the many Milton Model methods for distracting the mind. I don't know if you will want to learn more about the Milton Model now, or later ;)
Stage 3.
Finally, once the conscious mind has been sufficiently distracted, the final stage in the Milton Model is to uses the resources of the subconscious mind.
This can be done using a few methods. The most straightforward if by embedding subliminal commands into your sentences as you speak. Since they are subliminal, they will be transparent to the conscious mind, but heard clearly by the subconscious mind.
Some examples are things like:
--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 you may be asking yourself, self if I just say confusing things to people, or things that have embedded commands in them, then I can get people to do whatever I want them to?!
Maybe.
One thing to remember about conversational hypnosis, and hypnosis in general, is that people cannot be made to do things that violate their values or genuine beliefs.
You are able to use conversational hypnosis to give commands to someone's subconscious mind, but it will take a good deal more than just conversational hypnosis to actually change her value or belief system.
With practice, you will greatly improve your ability to use conversational hypnosis to subliminally influence people around you
