Covert hypnosis (also known as conversational hypnosis) is the ability to be able to influence someone without them knowing it. Imagine how much it could empower your life to be able to negotiate yourself the overdue pay rise that you deserve? Or attract a new partner? Or open the door to any opportunity by being able to influence the people who matter to take notice of you?

Does Covert Hypnosis Work?

It all sounds great but does it work? Are ordinary people able to master this technique and get results from it?

This technique is certainly very real and very powerful when used correctly and the topic has certainly sparked keen interest online from hopeful students wishing to harness it’s power for themselves.

A lot of psychologists and hypnotherapists depend on NLP persuasion techniques when dealing with their patients. This is because NLP (short for Neuro-linguistic Programming) has an uncanny reach into a person’s subconscious, making it easier for the said patient to accept new behavioral patterns.

However, NLP persuasion techniques are making their way outside clinics. Anyone who wants to take control of their life can easily harness the power of NLP. With the following tactics, you can easily convince people to accept your point of view and follow your lead.

NLP Persuasion Technique # 1: Use “When You” During Conversations.

NLP persuasion techniques are known for being subtle. These methods are meant to be as natural as possible to avoid arousing suspicion.

Speaking from personal experience, I can tell you that yes, it works. Here’s how:

1) The first step in hypnosis training is accepting that whatever state you are in, your own actions, desires, fears — whatever your thoughts are — have brought you to this place, state and time. This is important, not from a negative perspective but from a positive perspective. This acceptance and understanding allows you to see that you can change your life by training your mind. This sounds absurd at first because YOU didn’t get you here, your horrible job that pays nothing got you here or your lack of education or just plain bad luck.

To understand how YOU got you here, go through your thoughts in the past twenty-four hours. What have you been thinking about? Maybe you can’t remember because you’ve been busy screaming at the kids or trying to figure out how to get another hundred dollars on your paycheck. Whatever your thoughts have been about the past twenty-four hours, chances are good that most of those thoughts were negative. Think about THAT.

Nobody can say for sure when hypnosis started.  But historians seem to agree that his has been used for more than a thousand years.  Remember witch doctors or spiritual priests entering into a trance talking to the supernatural and the spirits in order to save people from diseases or misfortune.

Ancient Egyptians has been using hypnosis to relieve pain and cure diseases. They would have healing temples which are called Temples of Sleep.  Those who are sick are given suggestions while induced to sleep.  This suggestions are to direct their mind that they would be healed of their illnesses.  Ancient Egyptians, aside from healing through sleep, has also used hypnosis to endure prolonged physical pain.  They used this as we use anaesthesia right now. 

Hundreds of years later, in 1765, Franz Anton Mesmer introduced animal magnetism.  He stated that man could influence a magnetic fluid which could help in the healing process.  His thought became an influential school.  There were salons were he would apply magnets in people’s afflicted body parts.
