Power Of Persuasion–The Wise Use Of Color Schemes

admin — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 08:58:58 +0000

Most people have never thought much about the power of color. Color psychology is the art of persuading other people through the use of various colors. This concept of color psychology being related to the power of persuasion is not based upon theory, it is based upon scientific proof.

There is a reason why girls dye their hair a certain color, there is a reason why girls paint their nails a particular color, and there is a reason why women wear red lipstick. The color of clothing people wear is also persuasive. For instance, the color red is extremely attention grabbing, whilst the color black signifies power and authority. By causing people to see the correct colors in your social interactions with them, you are practicing the non verbal suggestions of covert persuasion that influence people and alter their state of mind.

You can also combine a combination of colors into one powerful message that is even more influential than words. For example, you can wear black clothing to signify power, and a red tie to capture people’s attention. Or, you could wear a white outfit to signify honesty and purity in order to persuade people to instantly trust you.

Prison officials have even decreased violence amongst prisoners by painting the walls of the inmates cells pink, because the color pink has been scientifically confirmed to create a relaxed state of mind when people see it. In fact, jails and prisons have even gone to the extent of issuing pink underwear to the convicts as well. People initially thought this was done by the prison officials to humiliate the inmates, but humiliation had nothing to do with it. Instead, the prison officials had been taught the power of color psychology along with the scientific studies that validated it.

The reason why color psychology is part of the power of persuasion is because by using color psychology successfully, you can change a person’s state of mind and alter their behavior. Everyone has seen a beautiful woman in a red dress with red lipstick capture the attention of men so that their behavior was altered. You should understand that the colors marketing firms use, the colors of a woman’s make up, and the colors of fashion are used for specific reasons that are designed to persuade people. None of these colors are used by chance.

Even legal tablets have yellow paper for a reason. The yellow paper of legal pads has been shown to encourage thought in people. The billboards you see, the packages of the products you buy, and the colors you see used in infomercials are all there for a reason. This means that color psychology can be used by any covert persuasion practitioner to plant non verbal suggestions in a person’s mind.

You can also show people objects that have a certain color to alter their state of mind. Imagine a woman looking at a red rose a man has just given her, as soon as she sees the color red, this will influence her emotional state of mind. The mind does not only need to process language, it also needs to process everything a person sees. Covert persuasion does not only persuade people through auditory persuasion techniques, but it also persuades people through visual hypnosis techniques.

It can’t be denied that The Art Of Persuasion is one of the most imperative things that someone should learn because both failure and success depends on how we communicate with others. You’ve most likely already heard before it is not what you know that matters most, it’s who you know.

People often experience a common obstacle while they try to master The Art Of Persuasion because many persuasive techniques being taught are simply not dependable. In fact, it is not uncommon for people to spend time and money so that they can master persuasive techniques that are not useful in helping them achieve their objectives. For example, many people study Ericksonian hypnosis hoping to get better jobs and make more sales. Conversational hypnosis is for therapy only, so it is not in any way related to The Art Of Persuasion.

It is only the disguised forms of hypnosis that have the persuasive techniques that were invented to give you results outside of clinical settings. Invisible forms of hypnosis are practiced all of the time by politicians and world leaders. So, if these powerful persuasive techniques can be effectively practiced on a major scale, then it is evident that they can also be practiced on a minor scale by ordinary people in such places as the work environment.

Your work environment can provide you with benefits, resources, and money, so your work environment is an important area where you should be implementing your persuasive techniques. As you elevate your status at your workplace, you will also elevate your status in every other place that you’re a part of. The more skillful you get at mastering the skills of The Art Of Persuasion, the more promotions and doors there will be that will open for you.

Persuasive techniques are not only part of an art but they are also part of a science. The persuasion strategies of The Art Of Persuasion are so effective if they are used in the right way that you will enjoy consistent results. Persuasive techniques have also been scientifically confirmed to build up people’s relationships because when the art of persuasion is used for good, you can influence people to make better decisions so that they can live better lives.

Now, one of the most ignored parts of the art of persuasion is what is recognized as defensive persuasion. What defensive persuasion does is give you the capability to defend yourself against the tricks of others who are trying to covertly persuade you to make decisions that are not in your best interest. Most experts are in agreement that defensive persuasion is far more imperative than the usual persuasive techniques that focus upon what to get others to do instead of how to defend yourself.

One thing we can all agree on: The Art Of Persuasion is the most essential skill any person can master in life.

Covert Persuasion–Why Conversational Hypnosis Doesn’t Work

admin — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 04:21:37 +0000

You may have already heard of conversational hypnosis and how you can apply it to help you covertly persuade people. Up until a few years ago, conversational hypnosis was one of the most recent movements within the covert persuasion community.

But is conversational hypnosis capable of doing everything it says it can do? Without doubt conversational hypnosis does consist of many attention-grabbing topics, but once again we must ask ourselves if indeed conversational hypnosis actually produces results. To answer this question, we should momentarily consider the male seduction community, because the idea of using hypnotic language patterns to influence people is by no means as modern as some covert persuasion students have been led to believe.

The male seduction community first began its efforts to seduce women through the use of language patterns that were constructed upon the exact same principles as conversational hypnosis is built upon. This means that conversational hypnosis already existed in the form of Speed Seduction before it took on its new name, and men failed in their attempts to seduce woman through hypnotic language. This is exactly why the male seduction community quickly moved away from hypnotic language patterns unto different covert persuasion techniques that actually worked.

In fact, you seldom even hear any dating coaches teaching covert persuasion secrets that consist of hypnotic language patterns anymore, because they simply don’t do any good and are too difficult to learn and use in real life situations. This means language patterns may look good on paper but in real life situations conversational hypnosis will not profit you. You simply cannot take the conversational hypnosis techniques that were initially invented for the use of counseling and apply them to the art of covert persuasion.

Covert persuasion has always been and always will be on a completely different level than conversational hypnosis, because covert hypnosis is the only type of hypnosis that has been invented to enable you to persuade people outside of clinical settings. There is a big difference in using conversational hypnosis in an office to help someone quit smoking from attempting to use conversational hypnosis to covertly persuade someone without them knowing what you are doing.

Conversational hypnosis is based upon the use of words, and yet everybody had experienced the fact that words are cheap. Words can be resisted, words can confuse people, or people can simply chose not to agree with them. Covert persuasion, in contrast, cannot be resisted because the mind does not have the ability to process exactly what is happening and there is no actual message to reject. Non verbal suggestions consist of power, and everybody knows that those who rise in power also rise their social status. For this reason many hypnosis experts are in agreement that the disguised and invisible forms of hypnosis are the most successful resources available to learn covert persuasion.

Persuasive Techniques And The Concept Of “Poison Hands”

This concept of The Poison Hands comes from the most powerful ancient martial arts. When a martial artist struck someone with a poison hand, that person wouldn’t at first appear to be injured, but a day or two later they may die or become extremely wounded.

What this reveals to us is that Power Persuasion is an ongoing process of influence and mind control. This means that sometimes there will be no immediate results when you are influencing someone through the secrets of covert hypnosis.

Yet, as the days, weeks, and months go by, the person whom you are influencing becomes more and more influenced by your suggestions–even if you are no longer in this person’s presence. Your words grow deeper in their minds, and their emotions become more and more under your control in your absence.

In power persuasion, you can behave in such a way or say something in such a way that will at first appear to have absolutely no effect over the person whom you are influencing, but as time continues your persuasion techniques will take root in their minds and grow into whatever type of behavior it was that you intended your suggestions to accomplish.

Obviously, like most things, there are positive and negative applications of this principle. The important thing to keep in mind about power persuasion is that there are not always immediate effects as a result of your influences. In reality, it takes time to influence people so that you can shape them into whatever type of people you are attempting to shape them into. “Poison Hands” are excellent persuasion techniques to use because your original suggestions or strategic behavior patterns are quickly underestimated and forgotten, but the results from your influences and hypnotic suggestions are powerful and will remain in people’s minds.

Don’t worry if your persuasion techniques do not appear to be working. Consider a person’s mind like a garden–all you need to do is sow seeds into their minds and go about your business. The seeds will grow and produce fruit on their own, and their own thought processes that you have initiated will water these seeds.

Now that you are aware of the principle of “Poison Hands” that exist in power of persuasion, see to it that you defend yourself from these devastating persuasion techniques when you suspect they are being used on you.

Power persuasion is like a game of chess, and the most important part of the game of chess is the end game.

Persuasion Tactics Integrated With Your Voice Tonality

admin — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 06:55:28 +0000

It has been said by hypnosis experts that how we say something is far more important than what we actually say.

The number one secret to saying something powerfully and secretively is to master the tonality of your voice. By mastering the tonality of your voice, you will be able to communicate with people covertly in order to be able to give them messages that it won’t appear like you are intending to give them.

As a rule, voice tonality has two versions that you need to master: Command Tonality and Question Tonality. The way command tonality can be demonstrated is when you say something with a deeper tone of voice. The person whom you are speaking to will interpret the deeper tone in your voice as though you were giving them some type of instructions or as though you were communicating with them as an authority figure.

Question tonality is demonstrated when you use a higher tone of voice, and while this tonality obvious implies that you are questioning the person you are speaking to about something, question tonality can also be used to convey confusion, to cause the other person to doubt their own conclusions, or to soften your suggestions so that they appear as questions rather than the commandments you are actually intending them to be.

But even though command tonality and question tonality are the two mainstream types of tonalities that persuasion artists use to communicate with people, there are several other variations of voice tonality that should be considered and that aren’t often talked about. The most important being how you can use the tonality of your voice to convey a specific context.

By using your voice to convey a subtle context, you can literally say anything to anyone without appearing to be actually saying it. This skill will prevent you from ever getting blamed for saying the wrong thing to someone, because in reality you never actually said it. A classic example of how a person uses tonality to control the context of the information you hear is how women speak seductively to men.

Time and time again we see women talking to men about seemingly unimportant things in everyday life, but not too long after the woman begins to speak, the men whom they are speaking to begin to get aroused as they begin to find these women whom they are listening to extremely attractive. This type of communication works out perfectly for the women who use it, because the men whom they are speaking to can never accuse them of being provocative. After all, these women didn’t ACTUALLY say anything that was sexual.

A key principle to keep in mind is that even though these women didn’t utter anything that was sexual, that the tone of their voice was what was packed with sexual suggestions. Although women have been using these advanced persuasion techniques for centuries, men have also begun to learn how to use the tonality of their voice to generate feelings of attraction in the women whom they are communicating with.

The best feature about using the tonality of your voice is that you can do it innocently in everyday conversation without anyone knowing what you are up to. They will have no idea that you are using the tonality of your voice to persuade and hypnotize them.

The ancient forms of hypnotic mind control are based upon behavior patterns that are hypnotic in their very nature, so covert hypnosis doesn’t always depend upon the use of language as a means to persuade people. Hypnotic language is only a spoke on the wheel of the persuasion process, but one of the most important aspects of how to use hypnotic language correctly is to create and master various tonalities of your voice.
