Covert hypnosis and the efficacy of hypnotic suggestion in seemingly innocuous statements are not as far-fetched as they may sound.

These techniques rely on subtly suggesting to someone that they should accept an idea or suggestion without outwardly voicing support or for that idea or suggestion (hence the “covert” in “covert hypnosis”).

Advertisers aren’t the only ones interested in the applications of hypnotism. This subtle form of hypnotic suggestion formed the basis for an entire school of thought in self-improvement and persuasion known as Neuro-Linguistic Programming, or NLP.

Students of NLP have employed their own version of hypnotic suggestion to aid in breaking bad habits and addictions (smoking, etc), building new habits, and helping others to do the same. Moreover, much of the NLP teachings on persuasion has its roots in forms of covert hypnosis originally explored by pioneer-hypnotist Milton Erickson.

Exciting New Covert Hypnosis Course

I've seen them all. Covert hypnosis, conversational hypnosis, subliminal hypnosis, black ops hypnosis and now even disguised hypnosis.

Different names giving almost exactly the same techniques. Although some would argue about the subtle differences and emphasis in each program, the basic idea is the same. Some include hints of social engineering and seduction, many go after basic psychological principles and almost all in the end rehash Milton Erickson's Waking hypnosis principles and Richard Bandler's NLP persuasion techniques.

However, the field has really evolved in the last ten years or so and some authors surprise me every now and again with their level of research and new ideas.

One of such authors is Dr. Jonathan Conrad Groves.

When I first saw the website of his "disguised hypnosis" course, I was literally rolling my eyes. "Not another rehashed course", I said to myself. But then something caught my attention...

He was bashing the established conversational hypnosis model. It got me a bit mad but it made me read through the web site. I was surprised at how interdisciplinary the course was and how much emphasis there was on actual scientific experiments (the ones I like the most).

Although fairly advanced, many of the techniques were still based on the, to me, very well known covert hypnosis model. But there are some really precious golden nuggets in there that can really bring anyone to a master level persuader really quickly.

All in all I'd give the course 4 out of 5 for ingenuity and 5 out of 5 for effectiveness and mastery level of the presenter, Dr. Groves.

You can get the program here

Take care!

Covert Hypnosis And Resistance

Let's talk about resistance to covert hypnosis. Most people either make the mistake of bragging about knowing covert hypnosis and get the people to always have their guards up while talking with them, some are afraid that people will catch them and resist their attempts, yet others seem so unnatural with their techniques that people naturally resist them.

Before I go deeper into this, I'd like you to know that we launched our new weight loss subliminal video. Go check it out and get it because it really works incredibly well!

So, as I said before many times, covert hypnosis is a natural way of powerful communication. When done correctly, nobody will resist you because it is covert and thus people won't notice you using the techniques.

Of course, when starting out, one always makes mistakes but that's OK.

When people know you're studying covert hypnosis, you already have a huge advantage... There's a preconceived notion in the general population of what hypnosis is! Everybody expects to either fall asleep or become completely zombie-like when you use it on them.

Most people saw a stage hypnosis show or saw a movie about hypnosis and what they expect is for you to talk in a certain voice or jerk their hands really quickly or make them stare at the light and so on...

Well, you know that covert hypnosis isn't about that and herein lies your advantage.

So, when you notice resistance from people, first think what category they fall into:

1.) Did you tell them you're studying covert hypnosis?
2.) Do you know them for a very long time and now you've suddenly drastically changed your style of communication?
3.) Are you amping their feelings to much?
4.) Are you sure they're resisting you?

Ad 1.) If you told them about your studying covert hypnosis, there's a fairly good chance they're suspicious and therefore automatically resist your suggestions. What you should do is deepen rapport and begin only using the most covert methods (state shifts, embedded commands, nested loops, covert anchors, indirect suggestions...) until you notice they are responding really well to you again.

What I like to do is set up a trance induction spatial anchor (got this one from Tom Vizzini). When they are in that state, you can bring yourself into a trance and then begin shifting your state and they will follow ;)

What also works well is to talk about it. Say something like this: "You know that covert hypnosis stuff that I study now? Well, I read something really interesting the other day and they were talking about how people make decisions. They said that many people see the thing that they like and want it immediately. Those are the very visual types. Then others see the thing and only after saying to themselves: 'Wow, this is beautiful,' do they really feel that they want it. Those are predominantly auditory people. Yet the third type of people have to actually pick the object up and only then they begin to feel like they want it. Those are predominantly kinesthetic people. I noticed that I'm (tell them how you make decisions). What about you?"

Now make sure you remember and anchor their decision making pattern! ;)

Ad 2.) People that know you all your life are the most likely people to notice something different and tease you about it. Get more covert and you can use similar pattern as above, only substitute the "I was reading about covert hypnosis" part with "I was reading about the human psychology" or something similar.

Ad 3.) Many covert hypnosis students initially make the mistake of amping the positive feeling up too much. This confuses people and it doesn't seem natural to them so they will usually resist you! Make sure you amp the feelings up just right for the context you're currently in!

Ad 4.) Most of the times it happens that the people aren't very used to powerful and persuasive communication like covert hypnosis. So at first they might seem a bit reluctant to listen on but what they really feel inside is "WOW, this guy/girl is REALLY good!" They usually fall into a deep waking trance and into your "spell" ;)

Hope this clears up some things about resistance to covert hypnosis. And remember... you WON'T GET CAUGHT unless you told them what you're doing... and even then you can always say... "OK, let's forget about hypnosis for a minute and tell me this..."

Would You Like A Personal Covert Hypnosis Subliminal Video?

Dear covert hypnosis and subliminal persuasion fan,

Personal subliminal videoI love subliminal technology. In the last few years I discovered incredible secrets about the subtle influence with subliminal messages.

The videos in our http://downloadsubliminals.com/ library are really one-of-a-kind and utilize the latest in subliminal research.

Lately I've been experimenting with adding some personal touches to the videos for myself and I was literally blown away.

The effect of a targeted, personalized video is exponentially more powerful than with a general video. Although a general video brings results fast, a personal video can touch certain
issues that a general video can't.

For example, we proved that the self esteem video can make a sales person better. He or she will close more deals, feel completely relaxed, collected and have sparks of genius raise
to the consciousness at just the right moment.

But a personal "Become a Master Sales Person" video will make an average sales person into a super-star in their company because it will address the core issues the individual has that
are holding him or her back!

I can even make anyone subconsciously identify with their most respected mentor (or a person they look up to - yes, even fictional characters like James Bond, for example) and begin to unconsciously mimic their attitude, energy, gestures and speech patterns.

And the best part is that you can experience their world, pick up whatever you like from it, make it a part of your own world and disregard what you don't like.

Once you unlock your subconscious power, you can become virtually unstoppable.

With personal subliminal videos you can very quickly:

  • Raise your self esteem
  • Eliminate all fears
  • Strengthen your positive beliefs
  • Improve your self-image
  • Eliminate self limiting beliefs
  • Become better at many skills
  • Acquire an unstoppable wealth mentality
  • Become a master covert hypnotist
  • and much, much more


Here's what one of the happy customers had to say after I created the personal video for him:

Simply amazing Blaz! I saw the video a couple of times already and I feel the power of belief. Fantastic job! Keep up the quality work. Hope to keep doing more business in the future.

Take care,

Rosendo L., Bronx, New York, USA


Now, are you ready to make the leap and break the chains of being average?

Here's what above average, centered, high self esteem people get:

  • More money
  • Virtually no stress
  • More dates
  • Piece of mind
  • More relationships
  • More friends
  • Happier coworkers
  • You get the picture...

OK, I know that by now you know the benefits and I bet you're wondering how much this will cost...

It takes me a lot of time to create each video because I create it from scratch and I do my research before beginning. And during the years I've become a rare expert in the field so I could charge anywhere from $197-$297 for the video. And it would have been well worth it.

But I won't. Not right now.

I've decided to give you some motivation to get the video now because I know it will be one of the best decisions you ever made for your personal development.

So...



For the first three people the price is only $97. For the next three it's $107 and for the next three it's $117. Then I'll stop and from then on the videos will cost $147. No exceptions.

Now, what do you have to do?

Simply leave a comment on this post and tell me what kind of a personal subliminal video you want - make sure you include your email address so I can contact you (the comment won't be visible to anyone but me!). I'll assess if it's possible to get such results and then, after payment, I'll send you a quick questionnaire so that I can make it personal for you. I'll also need your picture (.jpg format).

It takes me from 3 to 5 days to complete the video (depending on the number of orders).

Don't delay, reply to this mail and get your personal subliminal video before the low prices are gone.

Of course, I guarantee my work 100%!

Another satisfied customer:

Blaz,

Have just played the new video and it is great. I am sure I will have really good results from my viewing.

Many, many, thanks,

Sheila

Have a wonderful day!

Here's to your personal mastery,

Blaz

Covert hypnosis story

About a year back, I attended a cycle of seminars on the subject of the brain and human mind. It was organized by our University and featured many professors, neuroscientists, physiologists, psychologists and psychiatrists.

It was a wonderful week full of great new views on the workings of the brain and human mind.

One particular course especially stayed in my mind to this day because I notice the lecturer clearly using covert hypnosis on us all - and very successfully at that.

He was a psychiatrist and the subject was no other than hypnosis. He told us he was using hypnosis on his patients and he had a very high success rate. He also told us he also uses hypnosis daily everywhere he goes. He answered a few questions about covert hypnosis and the audience was quite a bit sceptical so I guess he decided to do a little demonstration (he didn't tell us, of course).

He told us that he was going to get back to the subject of covert hypnosis but first he'd like to give his lecture on clinical hypnosis as this was the title of the lecture.

He begun explaining history of hypnosis, he mentioned a few very known hypnotists, including Milton Erickson and Dave Elman. He then proceeded to tell us about his approach to hypnosis and dived deeply into inductions.

He talked about how in order to put someone in a hypnotic trance, one has to get in a trance himself. He gave an example of how he talked to his patient when he was inducing trance. He begun to speak rhythmically and deepening his voice slightly every now and again, talking slower and slower. You could hear his deep breaths through the microphone.

All of the sudden, I begun to feel a bit drowsy and this wonderful feeling of connection came upon me. I realized what was happening and looked around the lecture room (which was a movie theater actually). There were around 300 people attending the lecture and when I looked around I was literally shocked...

Each and every person in the room looked like a zombie. They were all staring at him, breathing in sync and some had their jaw dropped. It was a hilarious sight. I tried to point this out to my colleague that was attending the lecture with me and was sitting to my right. When I looked at him, I almost burst out laughing - he was just as zombie-like as everyone else and he had his jaw dropped, too.

I didn't want to bother him so I listened on to the lecture. By now the psychiatrist was explaining exactly what the sensation of trance feels and looks like and then he said something interesting...

He said: "When you come out of this trance, you'll feel wonderful, euphoric even. You let go of all your worries and feel great"

He then started to talk about how he brings his subjects back to full awakening, suggesting wonderful feelings and euphoria all along.

He then had the staff turn on the lights and said this was all he had the time for.

People were completely overwhelmed (me included). Some had more questions about covert hypnosis and he briefly answered them. He then said he had to go and he got a huge round of applause. We could feel the euphoria in the room. Everyone was ecstatic. We were all happy to have such great psychiatrists in our country.

The lecture ended and as we were leaving the theater, you could hear comments such as: "By far the best lecture" and "This was amazing". Everyone had a big smile on their faces.

This was a truly amazing covert hypnosis experience. We were all brought down into a trance conversationally, without formal consent and knowledge of it happening. He was really good and he really opened my eyes even further to the power of covert hypnosis.

What Is Covert Hypnosis

Way back I wrote an article about covert hypnosis. I shared it here before but since I believe it depicts covert hypnosis quite well, I'm going to re-post it.

You can read the article here:

>> Covert hypnosis

Now, I've noticed that many people still think that covert hypnosis is some kind of mind control where the subject doesn't have any will and everything is directed by the hypnotist.

It isn't quite so...

Like with all hypnosis, in covert or conversational hypnosis, the subject is in a way agreeing to what's going on! That's why calibration is so very important.

While in clinical hypnosis in a formal environment, the subject explicitly agrees to being hypnotized, in a non-formal conversational setting the subject is implicitly agreeing on being hypnotized and following suggestions.

We're not creating zombies here, lol.

Now go and read that article. It's very informative.

Covert hypnosis is easy... once you get the handle of it

I read an interesting post in my covert hypnosis forum the other and I thought I'd share it with you.

It's about covert hypnosis being pretty simple.

Well, it is, but as it goes with any technique, it's necessary to internalize it first.

Here's an interesting post from one of my favorite members of the forum...

[begin post]

The most significant secret to covert hypnosis is just listening. If you can hear how a person is representing something in their mind, you can easily communicate inside that model.

The real secrets are extremely simple, and the techniques that work best are very basic.

However, many of those simple things seem complex when you don't really understand them.

Getting into rapport, for instance, is quite easy to do when you understand how, but many neophytes make it a very complex process. Realizing the simplicity is a very powerful understanding, but it's like Bruce Lee's teachings on throwing a punch. He discussed, for a long time, a very detailed description of punching, but later said that you just throw a punch, however, he acknowledged that he could only just throw the punch because of the complex understandings he had developed previously.

You learn the theory, in a sense, so you can then forget it, but both parts of the journey are necessary in order to realize the simplicity at the core.

[end post]

I think it's very important to learn the theory but it's equally as important to go in the real world and use covert hypnosis. Theory is one thing but practise is something else. There's only so much words can tell. Experience makes the whole thing effortless.

If you're a bit shy and on the low end of self esteem, go get the self esteem subliminal video and quickly correct this. If you have any other issues, our other unique and effective self help subliminal videos will help you.

So, no more excuses. Go out there and practise covert hypnosis!
