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.

Ericksonian Hypnosis focuses upon the use of therapeutic language patterns and not the persuasion process that is necessary to use in order for you to get the things that you want. The Art of Persuasion can only be applied through the application of strategy. This means that in order to get the things you want, that you must be strategic and not linguistic.

Everyone has heard the saying before that talk is cheap and how actions speak louder than words.

Covert hypnosis courses rarely teach how the lost art of strategy can be applied to your social environments in order for you to increase your personal power. In recent times the concept of social engineering has been introduced into the covert hypnosis arsenal, but even social engineering is not fully understood in the persuasion community. In fact, most persuasion seminars do not even mention the topic.

Persuasion techniques that put emphasis on social engineering rely little upon the use of words. A classic illustration of how social engineering is used by influential people would be to think about the way politicians campaign for an election. They use a huge amount of persuasion tactics and combine them into one fluid force to penetrate the unconscious minds of the people whom they are seeking cooperation from. Once the politicians have penetrated the public’s unconscious mind, then they can start to alter the public’s decision making processes.

Advertising firms are also well known for using social engineering to make millions of dollars for non profit organizations and companies. They use images, billboards, and carefully selected sounds to create an altered state of mind in people in order to have control over their buying decisions. In fact, there is also a tremendous amount of effort that goes into what colors should be used on their marketing items, because specified colors have proven to have an effect upon how people act and how people feel.

Of course, words do have their place in the persuasion process, but words need not in any way duplicate the therapeutic language patterns hypnotists use to help people quit smoking and lose weight.

Covert hypnosis and Ericksonian hypnosis are two entirely different things. One kind of hypnosis mixes everything together to give you the things you want, while Ericksonian hypnosis relies only upon the use of language patterns to help others get what they need.

Everybody who is interested in covert hypnosis has heard of how we can use hypnotic language patterns to influence other people. But is this true? Can you name one single person who has become powerful or famous as a result of practicing hypnotic language patterns? You may be able to name one person, but the fact is these hypnotic language patterns have profited very few people. The people who are benefiting from hypnotic language patterns are those who make false promises and teach them for large sums of money.

This means that only the “covert persuasion guru’s” are getting successful or powerful from these hypnotic language patterns. Yet, it isn’t the language patterns that are making them successful, its their devious advertising campaign that are making them prosperous as they repeatedly deceive you to pay for their weak and watered down persuasion material.

The art of persuasion is not an art that is based upon language. Yes, language has its importance as it is a kind of communication, but it is no where near as essential as social strategy. Social strategy consist of the art of making alliances and using these alliances to your benefit. Social strategy is based upon your behavior and every single subtle act of how we carry ourselves in social environments.

Persuasive techniques are simple tools, yet they are complicated in their function because they are repetitively adapted by a persuasion artist who is using them to be in command of his social structure. This leaves us with a powerful principle to fully consider, because true persuasive techniques are basic and yet at the same time complex. It is the ease of persuasive techniques that enable us to establish intricate theory to fully be aware of the principles that control and govern human behavior.

It is impossible that hypnotic language patterns are the most important things to learn in order for you to master The Art of Persuasion. There are many reasons why this is true. For one, hypnotic language patterns are a recent development in hypnosis. This means that for thousands of years people became wealthy and successful without the knowledge of these Ericksonian language patterns. We know this because Ericksonian hypnosis and NLP were not even invented yet. Another reason why hypnotic language is not as important as many “persuasion gurus” would lead you to believe is because these hypnotic language patterns have their origins in a therapeutic context. This means that these language patterns were only successful in clinical scenarios where people were trying to quit smoking or lose weight.

These hypnotic language patterns become weak and difficult to use once a persuasion artist attempts to use them outside of their clinical settings that they originated from. The tools that were designed for therapy are no where near as successful as the tools that have been designed for the power of persuasion. Therapy and The Art of Persuasion are two entirely different things.

In fact, when the male seduction community first began, men attempted to use hypnotic language patterns to seduce women. Needless to say, their attempts failed so that they developed entirely different systems to seduce the opposite sex. A lesson we can all learn from this is that hypnotic language patterns do not work outside of clinical settings, and even if they did work once in awhile, they certainly don’t work on a consistent basis.

Now, in order to understand the components that The Art of Persuasion consist of, it was important to first understand what The Art of Persuasion does not consist of. The Art of Persuasion is far deeper than how we use language. It should go without saying that words do have their value to an extent, but everyone has heard that talk is cheap. Language is like luck, it will only take you so far. So then, if language is only a piece to the puzzle of how we can persuade people to get the things that we want, we must move on from these elementary principles and begin to talk about what The Art of Persuasion really is.

The Art of Persuasion is more than anything based upon social strategy and behavior patterns. Social strategy has time and time again produced successful and influential people ever since time began. In fact, social strategy and social behavior patterns have proven to be so powerful that people have risen to power and greatness even though the odds were stacked against them in every way. They didn’t come from rich families. They didn’t have the resources or connections that are often necessary to obtain wealth and power. Yet, they defeated the odds, made history, and became some of the most wealthiest and successful people in history–and they did it all without using a single language pattern.

Social strategy involves knowing the diverse social structures that exist in various social environments. Then, comprehending the social environment, you take specific actions that will dominate its social structures through the power of your social interactions. You may first need to start at the bottom of these social structures, so you must need to climb to the top of the social structure that you are attempting to dominate one step at a time. Then, after you have obtained power in one social environment, you can exchange this power for power in another social environment.

Each social environment is different, but the principles used to dominate social interactions are the same.

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.

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.
