Have you ever met somebody who seemed to be able to convince anybody to do anything, just by talking to them. You know, like the salesman who can sell snowballs to Eskimos?

Ever wonder how some people can do it, and others can’t?

Well, one way that you can really influence other people by talking to them is by using conversational hypnosis.

What is conversational hypnosis?

When I say conversational hypnosis I am not talking about putting people into deep trances like a certified hypnotist would do in his office.

What I mean is using language that distracts or gets past the person’s conscious mind so you can speak to or make suggestions to the person’s subconscious mind. When you speak to the subconscious, you are using conversational hypnosis.

One of the best at doing this is a guy called Robert Dilts. He calls this kind of language sleight of mouth. He says that language is really a map of our world, and that no two people live in the same world. (Deep, huh?)

What he means is that every person sees the world in a different way, and they use language to both talk about their world (describe it), and to actually create their world.

So basically, what Dilts is saying is that when you talk about something in a certain way, you actually begin to think about that thing in that way. For example, if you are always saying things like, I hate school then you will hate school. You are actually making yourself hate school by saying you hate school.

So what does this have to do with conversational hypnosis?

Just like you can make yourself hate school, you can also make other people hate school by constantly talking to them about how much you hate school.

Have you ever heard the phrase attitudes are contagious. Well, they are. And one reason they are is because the words people use both make and reflect their attitudes.

So if you hang around a group of friends who are constantly talking about how terrible and a waste of time school is… you will all start to believe the that school is terrible and a waste of time… and you will create that reality for yourself.

This is because words are powerful! One of the reasons words are so powerful is that the subconscious mind soaks them up like a sponge.

You may not realize it, but your subconscious mind is always aware of what is going on around you, as well as inside you. Most of your thinking actually happens in the subconscious, and the subconscious can be influenced by what you say, and by what other people say to you.

So if you use the right kinds of words you can really change the way you, and others, see the world. And what are the right kinds of words? Ahhhhhh, that’s a good question. But you’ll have to wait until part 2 of this article, or visit my blog.
