So what exactly is “Hypnosis”? The majority of the world knows hypnosis as the theatrical fireworks that happen in traveling side shows or on TV. The subject is forced into an unbreakable trance and made to cluck like a chicken or kiss a dog… You know the bit.
At the end of the day, those displays are indeed ONLY theatrics. No one can be forced into a trance. Also, once they are in one, they cannot be forced to do something that they wouldn’t normally do. It doesn’t give you super human strength or irrevocably change any mental wiring. That being said, the process of hypnosis and the usage of hypnotic language as a communication expert are very powerful and functionally effective tools.
In this tutorial we will discuss how exactly hypnosis/hypnotic language works within the brain. We will also cover its usage in everyday conversation so that you may begin to add hypnotic language to your effective communication skills.

Hello, I just now stumbled upon your blog whilst browsing on Google as I’m seeking some material on hypnotherapy and smoking. It’s a good blog so I have bookmarked you and I will return another day to have a more indepth look when I can give it more time.
Thank you so much, I appreciate the compliment. Please contact me if there is anything I can do to help.
Best Regard,

Hi David, I found your site and have been skipping through it to areas that interest me the most to get a sense of your writing style.. And to which I like so I have bookmarked your site..
I am curious about:
(instantly mesmerizing someone with communication is almost definitely an urban legend. Is it possible? I suppose… Just like it is possible that you can win the lottery. Is it probable? NO!)
Now this may depend on our views of hypnosis but can you expand on the above… Walk up to a complete stranger in a shopping centre with the intention of instantly mesmerising them… offer an handshake and as they respond do something off the wall… anything… see how long you keep them mesmerised…
Interesting site…
To your best

Hi Wayne,
Thanks for you comment. Indeed, the term “mesmerize” can be a bit ambiguous. What I am referring to here is the process of dropping an individual’s brainwaves down into a Theta range, which is where clinical hypnosis would draw them. In the example you give above, in doing something off the wall, this would be more of a distraction. Although a distraction will indeed hijack critical thinking (for at least a brief moment), I (personally) would not consider this to be a hypnotic state. In fact, although the off the wall action may hijack their critical thinking for a moment, it will most likely serve to heighten it there after. Quick, unexpected and/or abrupt actions will indeed invoke a fight/flight response to some degree. The result is a release of hormones that serve to heighten awareness, this is something you won’t want if attempting a hypnotic state. Effective usage of hypnotic language will serve to calm the mind by lowering brainwave activity. I hope this answered your question, if not please feel free to contact me.

Hi David,
Excellent site. Have you published any books that I can purchase. found your site while looking up Cartesian Logic which I picked up from a Chris Howards course.
Hi Gert,
Thank you for the endorsement. I am in the process of searching for a literary agent as we speak… In my last post, I explained that my absence has been due to my concentration on finishing my first book. It is an 850 page masterpiece (albeit this is coming from a biased source
) However, I hope to have it on the market ASAP… Thank you so much for asking.
