27 Ways to Hypnotize Others Here are 27 simple ways to hypnotize others and communicate hypnotically. Think about how you can use these in a range of situations, there are no limits to this! 1: Interrupt a pattern 2: Use the word “imagine” 3: Describe in multiple sense – hear, feel, see, touch, smell 4: Ask higher level questions “what does that mean” “whats important to you about…” 5: Go there first! 6: Tell a story 7: Speak with authority and confidence 8: Speak to someone in their „language‟ 9: Be there to help, not exploit 10: “Seek first to understand, then to be understood” (the late Stephen Covey) 11: Relax, and project your voice from the belly, not the throat or nose 12: Pause and be comfortable with managing silence 13: Be in the moment and trust your subconscious mind 14: Describe a peaceful and relaxing situation 15: Trigger „trance anchors;‟ thoughts, images or memories associated with relaxation or fascination 16: Fascinate the mind and captivate the imagination 17: Utilize ambiguity in the words you use to send subtle messages 18: Vary your tonality as you speak to emphasize messages and speak more dynamically 19: Be aware of the natural rhythms in which you speak and vary this situationally 20: Always be conscious of your „hypnotic intent‟ – what do you want to achieve? 21: Constantly learn from your interactions and attempts, there is no failure so long as you try! 22: Paint a vivid mental picture and emphasize the imagery you create 23: Be aware of peoples „primary modality‟ (what sense they use primarily to interpret the world) but don‟t exaggerate the importance of this 24: Utilize the awesome power of metaphor 25: Speak to the subconscious mind, be aware that there‟s more going on than we are consciously aware of 1

26: Actually listen, be aware of what people mean, not just what they say 27: Use simple, clear language that is easy to understand when giving suggestions. Ok I‟m on a roll so I‟ll give you a few more good ones: 28: Think in terms of emotional states, what do you want people to be feeling as you speak to them? 29: Revivify – use questions to connect to past experiences when people felt certain emotions 30: Beliefs are powerful but they are not set in stone, question them gently and they may fall apart, challenge them directly and they‟ll merely strengthen 31: Use presuppositional language- speak in a way which presumes that what you want to accomplish has already happened 32: People care more about themselves than they do about you, say “you,” not “I‟ What other ways to hypnotize and communicate hypnotically can you think of?
