Would you like to be able to hypnotize anyone whenever you wanted? Do you think it's possible to hypnotize anyone and have them change their behavior without them even realizing it? The truth of the matter is that this is not only possible but it's probably a lot easier than you think. And forget about it looking like traditional hypnosis. There's no lying down on the couch, no staring at the pocket watch and no counting backwards from 10.
OK, so how would you actually hypnotize anyone just by talking to them? well, the answer is...secretly! Alright, a better answer would be subconsciously, which for the purposes of this article simply means outside of someone's conscious awareness.
So what's the trick to hypnotizing anyone? Well, the trick is to use the advanced techniques and language patterns of traditional hypnosis but use them in a conversational way so that it's natural and normal. So forget about asking someone to sit back in a recliner and relax and close their eyes as you slowly count backwards from ten. Think more along the lines of meeting a co worker at the water cooler and having a conversation with them or sitting down at lunch and having your usual conversation with someone.
In an experiment designed by psychologist John Bargh, subjects were asked to make a four word sentence out of five words as quickly as possible. Give it a try:
1.is a fruit wrinkled raisin
2. good oranges Florida sweet are
3.fruit wrinkled raisin is a
Seems pretty simple, right? What's interesting about this is that when the subjects left the office after completing this exercise, they actually walked more slowly out of the office than when they walked in. Their behavior actually changed as a result of completing these sentences. Why? Because sprinkled throughout these sentence fragments are the words "gray","Florida", "old", and "wrinkled".
Now consciously the subjects probably didn't even pay attention to these words, but subconsciously these words had a huge impact on the way the subjects behaved. They basically put the subjects into a state of feeling old and the subjects responded by acting this out through their slow walk out of the office. (For an excellent resource on how the subconscious is easliy influenced on a day to day basis, check out Malcolm Gladwell's book Blink).
What's so significant about this little experiment? The first significant thing is that the subjects had no idea that they had been influenced at all to act one way or another. The second significant fact is that they actually changed their behavior as a result of being influenced outside of their awareness. And how did this happen? The researchers simply put regular everyday words "gray, wrinkles, Florida, old" into an exercise but had the subjects concentrate on something else.
Now, you might be asking yourself, can you really influence someone subconsciously just by talking to them? And the answer is- absolutely-if you know what you're doing. The father of modern psychological hypnosis, Dr. Milton Erickson, had mastered the traditional techniques of hypnosis to the point where he could easily hypnotize anyone simply by talking to them. He was a master story teller who could, through the use of stories or metaphors, implant subconscious suggestions or commands.
How hard would it be to hypnotize anyone in a conversation without their awareness? well, if you could engage the 'subject' and get them to concentrate on one part of your conversation, you could sneak in (using regular everyday words) hypnotic suggestions and commands that would completely bypass their conscious mind. Then you would only have to decide what you wanted them to do and then 'hypnotize' them to do it!
