In the hypnosis industry, the two most powerful forms of hypnosis are conversational hypnosis and disguised hypnosis.

A significant difference between these styles of hypnotic mind control is that disguised hypnosis uses “black hat techniques” whilst conversational hypnosis uses “white hat techniques”.

And this isn’t to mention that conversational hypnosis relies mainly upon the use of language to persuade people (as its name implies), while Disguised Hypnosis uses strategic human behavior to influence people.

Many professionals consider these two forms of hypnotic persuasion “The Battle Of The Titans” because they have been proven to be effective in many ways for many years.

Counselling and psychological therapy referred to as a talking cure, is the healing of psychological and emotional troubles, unwanted desires, feelings and habits; all using psychological techniques on their own. The general aim of this kind of therapy is to help people (i.e. clients) in bringing out important alternatives to their current poor thinking methods, behaving or feelings. Clients can also become more accepting of themselves and others using hypnotherapy, and can be a lot of help in promoting their own developments and finding their true inner potential

There are various types of therapy out there, but hypnotherapy is certainly unique as it addresses the subconscious mind of the client. In usual practice the hypnotherapist often (but not always) will want the client to be as relaxed as possible and in a good state of mind, and often uses the power of the clients own mind and imagination, using a wide range of the hypnotic techniques he has learned.

From story telling, to metaphors or symbolism (which must be of interest and a part of the client) to employing direct suggestions which go straight to the clients subconscious mind to initiate a change.

These techniques are often analytical and are often used in various attempts to reveal problems within the client thought to lie in say the clients past (“there and then” or the therapy may go more deep into the current life of a client and their problems that are present to them (“The Here and Now”) Is us often considered an advantage if the client is motivated themselves for the change to be as effective as possible (rather than relying on just the hypnotherapist) and a strong belief of substantial and beneficial change is often a great place to start.

We’ll be back on Monday 28th December as usual.

Yes, you can use the power of the mind to not only change yourself, but also influence things around you as well. In fact, you already do this on an everyday basis, mostly without even realizing it.

Whenever you are daydreaming about something, and then it happens, that is the power of your own mind. Ever go to bed and as you fall asleep say to yourself, ‘I have to get up at such and such time,’ and then end up waking when you wanted to? This also is a perfect example of the subconscious mind at work.

Scientists found explanation on the phenomena of mind power with quantum physics research, which concluded that the whole reality of life is in fact a product of our own mind.

Even with eastern religions, the power of the mind has demonstrated its influences to reality. They believed that the concept of being real exists because it is the manifestations of our imaginations.

When everyone is growing up they are raised on certain belief systems or notions.

These notions are the ones that inevitably shape your character and how you think. It is inevitable though that these old belief systems can be replaced gradually over time, though it’s not easy.

Just as the brain was trained into believing certain things it has to be brainwashed into accepting new and foreign ideas and beliefs. Making Subliminal messages is therefore used to quicken the process.

Subliminal messages are positive words that you tell yourself or are repeated on a sound file so as to instil new convictions. By listening to these words the subconscious mind is tricked and ultimately altered.

Believe it or not but the hypnosis you see magicians performing is not exactly real. When you go and see many a hypnotist you will see how you hardly fall asleep or become a servant of the hypnotist. In most cases you stay conscious of whatever you’re doing and at the same time you are in total control of your decision making capabilities. The techniques used in mainstream hypnosis are used to treat stresses and asthmatic people. Here are some simple hypnosis techniques that will make a huge difference.

Take your hypnosis techniques, the drills and methods you will use, and go through them a day before a planned session. You will see that practising known methods will make your session more powerful and effective than when you’re scampering through the session and making mistakes. The client will also benefit the most from a rehearsed method.

Have the subject of the hypnosis sit on a comfortable couch or on a soft cushion made of feathers. The comfort will definitely make the person more relaxed and calm so that he/she can enter the subconscious state free of obstacles like discomfort. It is very important that the person about to be hypnotised be completely calm, the entire process is dependent on that.

Something else you can do to promote calm and relaxation are: using a draggy and gentle voice and making the subject focus on a picture of peace and quiet. It is very much impossible to hypnotise an anxious and worried person, both factors are serious barriers.

Are there areas in your life you’d rather not have, annoying habits, things that you do or traits that annoy you or others close to you?

Have you been struggling to come to terms with a bad habit? Wouldn’t you rather be rid of your annoying habits once and for all?

Admitting you’re struggling with a bad habit is half the battle, deciding to find help for changing a habit that has been going on for months, or years, is even harder.

Hypnotherapy could be the answer you’re looking for.

Life has changed rapidly over the course of the last century. Think about it, life has become so hectic that trying to cook for your family is often done with meals that were already made. All we have to do is heat it up or eat out all the time. It’s no wonder many in our society are overweight and suffer from addictive personalities. Positive changes hypnosis can help you change this way of life.

Bringing about good changes in your life often starts with changes in your thought process. That little voice in your head will no longer speak badly but instead empower you to achieve your goals. Those who have undergone self help hypnosis say that it worked for them. Most professionals guarantee the desired results. It is no wonder that the interest in hypnosis has increased within the last several years, even though hypnosis has been used for decades for self-improvement.

The technique brings change through a simple process. You can choose to see a professional or try it on your own. Either way, the current method of thinking becomes a thing of the past by being replaced with a more constructive point of view. The change takes place in the subconscious by stopping negative thoughts at their source.

Motivation only lasts so long when it comes to life altering changes. Over time, the motivation tends to disappear. Positive change hypnosis may be a person’s last hope after other methods did not work. There are those who are skeptical about hypnosis; but, even those individuals will turn to it to obtain success with reaching their goals when nothing else works.

One of the presuppositions of NLP sales is to always operate from a physiology of excellence.

This means if you want to be excellent at something then adopt the posture and attitude of those people that are excellent at doing said action. Seems simple enough – that’s the basis of NLP.

Now there is a lot more to actually modeling someone, say like a boxer or great salesperson, than their posture. But how about if I let you in on a little secret body position that ALL people naturally use when they experience victory. A simple gesture you can use when you’re frustrated and down on yourself, or when you have negative internal dialog just ruining your day.

This gesture that I’m writing about is actually a form of a pattern interrupt. A pattern interrupt is an NLP technique often used to break a negative cycle that may be occurring. All of our routine everyday actions are patterns.

John Grinder along with Dr. Richard Bandler is the co-founder of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP).

John is a graduate in psychology of the University of San Francisco and later acquired a PhD in Linguistics from the University of California in San Diego in the early 1970s. He also served in the US Military as a captain in the Special forces and later worked for the US Intelligence agency.

Grinder was appointed to the position of professor of Linguistics at the newly formed University of California in Santa Cruz. He has published many books and papers, two examples of which are: On Deletion Phenomena in English (1972); and Guide to Transformational Grammar (1973). He is considered to be an expert on the subject of syntax within the broader field of linguistics.
