How to Use Embedded Suggestions and Stacked Realities in Hypnosis

Conversational Hypnosis you have learned thus far how to use your language expertly and how to use inductions to instill a state of trance. Now you will need to know how to integrate embedded suggestions and stacked realities into the inductions and stories you are using in your hypnosis.

Embedded suggestions and stacked realities are very powerful tools to master in your use of Conversational Hypnosis. They will help to indirectly and directly get responses from the unconscious mind to assist in the resolution of problems with the people around you. Part of learning to embed suggestions and stack realities successfully is to be a great story teller in the first place.

In your stories you must be continuing to use sensory rich descriptions with both of these concepts. You can use different tools in your stories to do this, but always making sure that you continue to access the visual, emotional, audible and physical touch senses. You can integrate all these sensory descriptions into the very direct approach or you can become increasingly indirect by using the ‘my friend John/Jane’ principal or extended quotes. These will be beneficial in the uses of embedded suggestions and stacked realities.

Stacked realities, or the ability to create many different realities for your listener, are a great way to bypass the critical factor. This is the skill of telling stories that are complicated in the sense that there are many things going on to the point of confusion. You will tell stories with many different characters, topics and other information.

As you do this you will not make it clear as to who is saying what or when events may have happened. You want your stories to take on a sense of running themes together to create a confusion that will start to overload and overwhelm the conscious mind.

A good example of this is when you are listening to a ‘he said she said’ story from one of your friends. As the person rattles on endlessly you begin to loose track of who is saying what and to whom. Another good example is when a person starts to explain their family to you, as you are trying to keep track of who is married to who and how many children they have as well as all their names things tend to start getting a little fuzzy around the middle of the story. This fuzziness is the effect you are looking for when you are stacking realities.

When you start to incorporate stacked realities into your stories you will also be using a large level of ambiguity. Ambiguity in hypnosis, if you remember can be a valuable practice when it is done right, here is a place to use it.

The ambiguity or vagueness of your comments will again cause enough confusion to bypass the critical factor, hide messages and through a person off enough that they will not follow the story as smoothly as they would if you were being very direct and clearer. However, it should not cause enough concern in following the story that the person you are talking to feels they must stop you to ask a question.

Once you have mastered stacked realities and how to work them into the themes and topics of your stories you will be moving on to the perfecting of embedded suggestions. Embedded suggestions are a tool that you can use in all different various types of stories and inductions. They are simply messages that are hidden within the words, themes and topics of your language.

You will use ambiguous messages in your embedded suggestions as a way of saying one thing to the conscious mind but letting the unconscious mind pull a completely different meaning from the words you used. When you thing of the word right you know it has several different meanings.

It can mean you are referring to something directionally as in you turn right at the corner. It can mean that you are correct in a thing, yes you are right that is correct, or it can be used to state you are writing down a thing. Now the word is spelled differently in this last example but remember you are conversing and even though your mind will associate different meanings with different spelling. If the words sound alike it can cause a trigger of different meanings in the conscious and unconscious minds.

When you use these ambiguous words and themes correctly it will send at least two different messages to the person you are talking to. One will be on the conscious level and will make sense in the context you are using it in. The other meaning that the unconscious mind perceives, when you use this technique correctly, will be perceived as a term associated with the problem at hand, the solution you are after, trigger you are setting or emotional state you are incorporating. Which of these it relates the word or theme to be completely dependant on your sub-communications and the construction of the suggestion and where it is directed by the unconscious mind?

If you are thinking about and constructing your embedded suggestions well you will be letting the unconscious mind read that there are at least two different meaning for what you have just said. The unconscious mind then knows that its job is to allow the conscious mind to have the idea that makes the most sense and the unconscious mind will attach a response to the less likely of the two. This process is more effective if you are consistent in embedding the suggestions repeatedly as you go through the hypnotic process.

With both of these new concepts fresh in your mind you will want to achieve the most success in your Conversational Hypnosis by adding them elegantly to the inductions and stories you are using. You and your clients will both benefit from them greatly.

How to Use Frame Control in Hypnosis

In Conversational Hypnosis you must know that language and circumstance are both very important and powerful ways of influencing the unconscious. Learning to control frames is a process that you should refine simply because it is so powerful.

Frame control in hypnosis is one of the most important things you can do with a subject. In one way to control the frames of various interactions is to take control of the interactions themselves. This is because frames are the ways in which you view things, they are the contexts that give meaning to all the interactions you have. If you stop to thing about how you consider things you will realize that without a frame, without a context to put a statement, idea or interaction into, the thing would be meaningless to you.

A great example of this is the same one we have used before. If you are driving along and a car speeds by you and cuts you off you would more than likely be irritated or upset about the matter of inconsideration from the other driver.

If you are given more information, one of the things that can help to change a frame and you now know the car has a child in it that was just hit by a drunk driver. You have been told they are speeding to the hospital in order to save the child’s life; your frames will more than likely change. Because you have retained a new set of facts about the reason for the inconsideration you may be more forgiving and sympathetic to the situation. This is an example of the power in changing a frame.

There are different ways in which you can control and manipulate frames. There are essentially four options you have, to maintain your frame, preframe, reframe and deframe. Of the four framing options maintaining your frame and preframing are the most important and powerful in Conversational Hypnosis.

Maintaining your frame is the first option you would usually want to exercise. In order to maintain your frame you will always arm yourself with non-reaction. To act as if the frame that someone else is suggesting simply doesn’t exist will cause them to raise question in their frame and put more value in yours. Ignoring the fact that their frame is even a consideration will only reinforce your stance and cause insecurity in their own frame to rise.

Maintaining your frame is a skill you have practiced both in the frames section of these articles and in the hypnotic gaze. In the hypnotic gaze induction you learned to hold a steady stare even though it is at times uncomfortable and seems to defy social boundaries, this is maintaining your frame in a different way. When it comes to thoughts and interactions you will simply not back down. You will be so convinced of your frame being the only true frame that there is no other possibility in truth in the other person’s frame.

This is an interesting stance to take and will be one you use in hypnotism to benefit you both. The funny thing about frames though is that when it comes to right or wrong the truth usually lies somewhere in the middle. Because frames are based on the contexts we put them into that means there is no clear cut right and wrong to them. Take the idea of organized religion.

Many people believe in it very deeply and others contradict it as a way of control. Now neither is right or wrong, the answer is probably somewhere in the middle. Some religious facilities may exercise an excess of control through their power as an establishment others however are truly in belief that there is only one way to be and that is of whatever religious nature they are, they do good things and that is their context.

So on to the second most valuable way to use frames in Conversational Hypnosis and that is to preframe. Preframing takes a bit more calculation and thought than maintaining your frame. If preframing you will need to know the outcome of the situation you are looking for before you start working. To know the outcome or purpose you are trying to achieve will affect the way that you preframe a thing.

Once you know the outcome you will next ask yourself that if that were the only possible truth in the world what would have to happen to make it so. Once you have answered the numerous questions that come from that one thought you will set your preframe up to convince a person to see things your way before actually diving into the frame itself.

Create a yes set on or tell a story about the things that would have to be true in order for your frame to stand true. This is a way of controlling the frame before you get to the objection of why it is not so.

A good way to maintain and preframe is to become good with implications and assumptions. If you can imply and assume then many times your frame will be taken at your word as the unconscious usually registers assumptions and implications as truth. This is a way of stating the natural order of things and getting little resistance because the frame slips in on the coattails of the assumption or implication.

The next technique in framing is the reframe. This is the ability to look at things in a new way. Shed a positive light on a frame that was being viewed negatively by a person. The saying that every cloud has a silver lining is a simple way of saying to reframe your judgment.

There are two ways to reframe a context reframe is when you change the context that the frame is placed in. And a meaning reframe which is where you change the meaning of the frame itself. These are similar but useful in different ways as you will learn through out the course of your profession as a hypnotist.

Deframing is the last way in which you will control and manipulate frames. Deframing is to turn the table on the person who is raising an objection to your frame. You simply switch the role, reverse the challenge. As a challenge is raised to your frame instead of explaining it away you will challenge the frame they are set in.

This is unexpected most of the time and will set the person into a defensive mode. When in defense mode they will be unconsciously taking in more of your frame than they will be defending their frame. Causing it to eventually become true for them as well. Presto you have deframed a situation.

Now the only thing to be aware of in deframing is to maintain a positive or light attitude in that you can easily come off as aggressive or negative in other ways, this will only cause your subject to distrust and feel uncomfortable with you. Since that is not the relationship you wish to have in hypnosis you should take caution to the ways in which you react when deframing.

How to Use Hypnotic Trance Formulas in Hypnosis to Get What You Want

Getting what you want out of your Conversational Hypnosis is basically going to be reaching the goals that have been set forth by you and your client. So it is safe to say that this is a very important thing to master if you want to be a successful Conversational Hypnotist. In Conversational Hypnosis you can start to structure your trance themes in way that will get the most and essential all that you are looking to achieve out of your hypnosis sessions with all your clients.

There are various trance formulas that you have been learning and working with to induce and conduct your hypnosis. As you start to assess which formulas you will be using with different clients you will want to begin to become very strategic in the ways you are thinking and communicating with each person you are helping.

As you do this you will begin to layer all the different trance processes you have learned in a way that will achieve your goals as a hypnotist and those of your subjects. The structure of your hypnotic interactions with people will rely in part on the structures you use in the trance processes you select and combine. You will have the power to include the processes you think will be the most beneficial and exclude those that may not be needed for each person’s particular needs.

You can use any combination of trance processes in your hypnosis sessions. However this is not something you must do, you can select a few or use all as you decide what is appropriate. If you have a difficult situation or problem to solve you may want to consider using every trance process available. If you have a problem that you can get to quicker and easier using only a few or even one you may want to do that.

You will decide which combination of trance processes is the simplest way to accomplish what you have set out to accomplish. From there you will take that route how ever it may differ from the sessions you have held in the past or will hold in the future.

The two trance processes you will be using at this time will most likely be the PCAT and the COMILA Formulas. These are two different types of trance process that generally have two different reasons for using; this doesn’t mean you cannot combine them to get a more through goal accomplished. You will also be working with future memories and post hypnotic suggestions.

First you will want to review the PCAT Formula; this is the formula most often used when you want to help a person to create personal change for them. This is an easy process to use as the way to introduce it is a very natural way of communicating on a regular basis.

The PCAT Formula is the process of problem, confusing the critical factor, active solution and transform. In this formula you will first start out by identifying the problem which is usually very simple as people will often bring it up as a topic of conversation without much prompting on your part.

After the problem has been identified you will want to use confusion to bypass the critical factor. There are three purposes for the confusion and those are to create smaller building materials by breaking the problem up, assists in inducing trance and bypassing the critical factor.

Next would be the step of active solution. This will be an induced state either and emotion or feeling that can be achieved through framing, stories, emotional triggers, past experiences and visualizations. You can use these concepts to search the past for a solution to the problem; a way to actively change the things the person wishes to change.

Lastly you will use the transformation step. This is simply the process of attaching the problem to the solution for the outcome to be achieved. You will attach the ‘A’ to the ‘P’ which will give you the ‘T’ in the end for a positive life change.

Future memories are a great tool to integrate into the PCAT Formula. Future memories are when you will place a memory within the person you are hypnotizing as if it has already taken place. This will help the mind to become formatted to create the events that will lead to that memory and making it a real memory to be carried out and remembered truly.

The COMILA is the second type of trance process you will be using in your hypnosis in order to get what you want. In the COMILA Formula you will be captivating the person’s attention through the various techniques you have practiced in story telling and inductions. The next step in this process is to outflank the resistance through bypassing the critical factor. Again you can use any resource you have learned such as confusion, trance induction or story telling to do this.

The next step in the COMILA Formula is to set the mood. You have learned that in order to change a person’s mind you must first change their mood and that is the same within the COMILA Formula. Then you will move on to intensifying the mood you have captured, the more intense and absorbing the mood is the more likely you will get the behaviors you are attempting to get from the person you are speaking with.

After you have done all this you will want to link that mood that you have captured and intensified to a motivating factor. You will use this by setting emotional triggers that can be activated either while you are present or when you are not. And finally you will move into the action phase; this is the trigger you set that will be fired and the action you were seeking will take place.

The most important part of the COMILA Formula is to be sure to set your trigger correctly. You can create all the perfect states you want but if there is no good trigger point to set that state into action then your efforts will fail. The general rule of thumb here is to start small.

Find the smallest trigger that would be considered the first step in setting the person into action. When you start with the biggest and most profound trigger you know of you may be failing because the trigger must be something simple and natural that the person can adequately cope with.

As you use and perfect these trance formulas and all the concepts that accompany them you will begin to see that you will have become very skilled in getting people to do what you want. You will see life improving changes in your subjects and you will become a great hypnotist as long as you study and practice these small steps that will create a vast difference in the results you see in your work

An Overview on How to Use Nested Loops in Hypnosis

Nested loops are very important and powerful tools that you can integrate into your hypnotic processes within Conversational Hypnosis. Nested loops are going to provide a deep level of assistance to you within your hypnosis by doing several things.

The first and most important thing that nested loops or nested stories do for you is to cause the unconscious mind to work harder by getting it much more interested than a simple single story. Nested loops are also known to cause a thing called the Zeigarnik Effect, in which a thing is left incomplete causing it to evolve to a level of much higher importance within the mind.

Other things that a series of nested loops will offer you is a more secure hypnotic set of stories as well as being difficult to identify and trace. Because of all this nested loops also bypass the critical factor just because there is so much action going on.

If you recall a nested loop is a series of three or more stories that are told in a manner together to cause the unconscious mind to be impacted greater. Each story you involve in your nested loop will be told up to the climax and then you will use a soft or hard loop to continue on to the next story. The reason the unconscious mind is working harder here is because the stories are momentarily left unfinished the unconscious mind will work extra hard to try to finish them off.

After you have climaxed each story you will have an open space in which to leave a suggestion for your subject and then you will move in reverse closing the last story first, the second to last story next and so on until you reach the first story and finish it.

Moving in reverse through the end of the stories will help to create amnesia for the listener. This happens because the mind tends to forget the middle stories after the beginning of the first story and its ending have been reunited.

There are four different types of nested loops that you will begin to or may have already begun to navigate your way through. They range from basic to master level with intermediate and advanced in the middle. Each type of nested loop will entail the same general structure only adding refinements and a few concepts to each one.

The basic nested loop is the simplest and will be where you start when you want to integrate nested loops in to your hypnosis. The basic nested loop is composed of three or more stories, each told to its climax and then transitioned into the next story through a hard or soft loop.

A note on hard and soft loops which are going to be the very important transitions you make from one story to the next. A hard loop is a transition with no real warning at all. You simply go from telling the climax of the story you are on to the beginning of the next story, no explanation or excuse as to why. A soft loop is when you lead into the next story with the one you are telling.

You may go from taking a walk in the wood to seeing a bunny, using the bunny as a transition into the next story about how you received a bunny for your fourth birthday. You will use these loops between every story you tell in nested loops. They offer you a way to change stories with very little effort.

After you tell all your story beginnings using the hard and soft loops to transition between each you will come to an open space that separates the beginnings of your stories from the endings. In this open space you will leave your suggestion and then continue on closing each story in reverse. Starting with the last story first and working your way back to the beginning story.

It is important to remember that you will use this basic nested loop structure in all your nested loops. The next three types of nested loops will only have things added to them, nothing taken away, in order to advance the sophistication of the structure.

The next type of nested loop is the intermediate nested loop. Again you will follow all the same steps for the basic nested loop but with two additions. In the intermediate nested loop you will add state to your stories. Each of the three or more stories you tell will evoke a different state or emotion from your listener.

This is where you start to get their emotions going up and down and sideways, you really want to give them a ride on different emotions that you evoke through your story telling.

The second thing you will add is at the space in the middle where you were originally only leaving suggestions you will now leave a trance process first, either the COMILA or PCAT and then adding your suggestion is already built into these formulas. You still leave the suggestion only you do it in the way the formula calls for.

The advanced nested loops are going to be repeating the process of the intermediate nested loop and adding to it the trance formulas into the actual stories you are telling. You will do this so those trance formula’s start to format the unconscious mind similar to the way the story is taking place. As you do this the trance processes will become embedded in the stories you are telling and making the trance that much more powerful.

Finally we come to the master level nested loops. In this series of nested loops you will follow the some protocol as in the advanced nested loops but refine it even further by adding in conversational induction protocols.

You will integrate these into your stories as well as the trance processes. This will make your stories consciously entertaining and unconsciously they will have deeply embedded suggestions that will start to work in the mind.

All of the nested loops are great and wonderful tools to use in your hypnosis. Of course the more advanced you get in you learning the more benefit you can acquire from using the master level nested loop instead of the basic. These are important things to practice and can be easily done simply by telling stories to your friends and family with nested loops integrated into them.

Mechanics, Engineers & Magicians: Don’t Just Learn Hypnosis, Master Hypnosis!

There are concepts and principals that you can learn and have been learning in order to educate yourself on the art of hypnosis. But the question becomes when you have already learned so much on the subject of hypnosis why not master it instead of just learning it? Conversational Hypnosis is an art that is best conveyed and conducted when you have educated yourself to the point of mastery.

You have learned that changing moods changes minds and that your reality is simply the set of frames you choose to live your life in. Because of this simple fact it is given that if you change the ways in which you think about things you will also be changing the ways in which you perceive the world you live in.

This may take time or it may happen quickly depending on the frame that you are adjusting. Some of these adjustments may last a lifetime and others may fade with time or only be short term. In any case the amount of expertise you have as a hypnotist will ultimately be judged against the level of change you can create for your clients.

Therefore you will want the level of expertise you have to be at a mastery level and not just something you learned well. In order to do this you are on the right track, you must educate your self through the various levels of advancement in order to climb to the top of the mastery mountain. You must learn above all else how to manipulate the area of expertise you have embarked on, Conversational Hypnosis, to the most defined and refined level of achievement.

There was a time when the journey you took through any given profession was marked by certain titles; however in this day hypnosis is no longer marked in these same ways. You would be wise to compare yourself to the titles of the old days and use it to mark your progress as you journey through your education in hypnosis. You should constantly be looking to increase your successes through improved effectiveness, excellence and elegance in your language and other skills.

Now this is not something that you should only apply to the techniques you are using. Level of technique will only get you so far, in fact it has been more apt to limit those who focus on it solely. The type of hypnotist that focuses only on the technique of hypnotism is focusing only on the mechanics of it. This is what you would call a reality mechanic.

A reality mechanic is one who carries around with them a convenient bag of tricks and tools that usually get the job done. However when a tool fails they spend all their time blaming the tool for the failure instead of looking to the fact that they have limited themselves through only focusing on the mechanics of the tool. When the tool works they are pleased with it and consider themselves to be somewhat magical.

The problem with this lies in the tool you are blaming for the failure. The tool, being the processes and techniques of hypnosis, are not going to be broken. The problem is that the hypnotist has limited themselves by simply only focusing on the techniques involved.
This person has not educated themselves on anything except the tools to use and if the wrong tool is chosen and fails they look to the tool for answers and it is not the tools fault for failure it was the choice that was originally at fault.

A reality mechanic can do a lot of good things but they will never do great things until another person has done them first because they are in need of the tools to be handed to them, already developed. In order to rise above the level of reality mechanic you need to become a reality engineer, this is like a well earned promotion. How do you get the promotion?

Reality engineers focus not only on technique but on principal as well, understanding how the processes work by studying them and seeing the inner workings of each one. In doing this you allow yourself the freedom of the knowledge in how to create new techniques when the time is right. If you can do this then you are more likely to get the results you want more often because you have expanded the tools in which you are able to work with, you can create new tools and understand how they work as well.

A reality engineer in essence will have the confidence and ability to meet unexpected and new situations with self assuredness. They have the knowledge to look for the information they need in order to pinpoint the best and most appropriate principals to use for each situation. The engineer has the ability to dissect the technique or process and then put it back together in a new way that will work for the current situation much more effectively and efficiently.

Now there is one more level and that is the level you should constantly be striving to be at, reality magician. A reality magician goes beyond the techniques and principals and is educated and open minded enough to have the ability to create new principals as well as manipulate the boundaries of existing principals to fit the situation they are in.

Now this does not mean that you disregard principals or think that only your principals are best, no it is a way of knowing how to create what you need even when it is undiscovered. Reality magicians can create new principals and bend the old ones to fit together to assist in any situation.

When you reach this level you are the embodiment of hypnosis, you do it naturally and things seem to happen solely because you intend them to happen. The best way to define reality magician is to use the words of Dr. Milton Erickson. “You become the scenery to which the other people naturally respond to in the way that you intend them to.”

This is where you want your level of Conversational Hypnosis to be, reality magician. This is a powerful set of shoes to fill; it is a complete way of thinking that will elevate your mastery endlessly. You must be able to appreciate this power as well as grow it responsibly. To do this, hands on training is suggested.

How to Develop Unconscious Rapport in Hypnosis

Conversational Hypnosis is as it sounds, it is generally made up of different conversations, different ways of communicating. In communication whether it is verbal, non-verbal, physical or sub-communications you are constantly building some type of rapport. Rapport is a very important and valuable part of Conversational Hypnosis.

Building the type of rapport you need in your hypnosis is a job that requires hard work. Now rapport itself, on a non hypnotic level, is easy to build. You do it every day with family, friends, co-workers and even complete strangers.

This is a natural function that you learned in the earliest years of your life. The fact is that rapport building is an intuitive process that you can learn how to do consciously, you can learn to repeat the rapport building processes you use everyday.

The easiest way to build rapport with others is to always remember to go first. Going first is a concept you have learned and will use often in Conversational Hypnosis. Going first means that you must first enter or engage yourself in the state you want to project onto others around you. When you do this you will sub-communicate signals to those around you about the state you are in and it will influence them to join you in that state.

When you have a strong rapport with another person, let’s say a family member or your best friend, you probably feel certain things when you are in their general presence. Most people will feel different things like a fluttering in the stomach or the sensation of being able to breathe easier. This feeling is different for everyone but it is a feeling that is usually associated with comfort, trust and a feeling of being at ease in their presence.

You may even be experiencing it now as you think of that person, and as you think of that feeling and person you will likely start to experience the state that goes along with the particular rapport you share with that person. Many times it is helpful in learning to build rapport to associate a certain color with the feeling you link to that rapport.

When you are learning to recall a state purposefully in order to build rapport it is very important that you take that state and the feelings you associate with it and intensify it to the point of oozing. You want to expand that rapport, that feeling, that color with in you and let it fill you completely and intensely.

You really want the feeling of that rapport to seep from you and surround you. From there you want it to fill the room and envelope the other person you are trying to build a similar rapport with. The more you work on intensifying the rapport within you the more it will expand outward to the person you are interacting with.

As you are expanding, projecting and sub-communicating that rapport you want to engage the other person in it will trigger your unconscious to send out signals of that rapport. In doing this a type of natural mirroring will occur in your behaviors with the other person. You will begin to communicate that rapport on many, many different levels unconsciously.

This is where things start to become a little hard for the conscious mind to track. You will want to use all the rapport building skills and concepts you have already learned, but only to the point that it is comfortable. Once things start to become too much you will then let your unconscious mind take over and compensate for the rest of the rapport building.

The more that you can get your unconscious mind to do in this area the better. The unconscious mind is already well versed in this area as you have been doing it all your life, so let one thing be simple and let the unconscious do something that it knows how to do already.

You already know that the idea behind going first in rapport is a tried and true one; it has been tested over and over again with the same positive results. But that is not to say it is the best way to do it, rapport building can be started with going first and then can be handed off to the unconscious mind for great results as well.

Rapport is much like an intimate relationship; it is a way that you are with another person. It is very familiar and allows you entrance into their world. You have the opportunity to explore their world without hindering or damaging your own reality. You can be a tourist and see things the ways they see them, but with caution to not be judging or harsh in any way. Rapport, deep rapport offers you so many ways to really experience life through another’s view point and expand your rapport while doing so.

The best way to do this is to let it happen unconsciously. The unconscious mind already embodies and posses all the tools, skills and concepts it needs in order to build strong, wide and deep rapports with those around you, so let it happen if you can.
