How to Master Underground Hypnosis

Underground hypnosis employs subtle techniques of body language, language patterns and covert suggestion to bypass the critical factor of the human mind. These techniques enable the speaker to win trust and shape people's perception. In spite of its many critics, underground hypnosis continues to gain popularity as a way to improve confidence and influence others. Underground or conversational hypnosis receives widespread disapproval as unfair manipulation; yet these tactics have been commonplace in advertising and politics for decades, if not centuries.

Instructions

Understand the Basics

• 1

  Know what you are doing before you start. Never attempt to induce hypnosis, either covert or consensual, without proper training and practice. Enroll in a respected school or online study course that offers ethical training and certification. The human mind is both powerful and fragile; enter with caution.

• 2

  Have a positive and helpful attitude. If you attempt underground hypnosis with the intention of causing harm, getting something you do not deserve or taking advantage of someone, your attempts will likely result in lawsuits or imprisonment. Hypnotic results are based on trust.

• 3

  Set goals and limits for each encounter. Holding the highest regard for your subject will ensure positive results for everyone involved.

• 4

  Be confident. Confidence is imperative for successful underground hypnosis. Even the slightest sign of doubt discredits the hypnotist. Approach every hypnotic subject with a positive attitude and expectation for success.

Practice

• 5

  Master storytelling. Great influential speakers all have one thing in common: great storytelling. Know what makes good stories and practice telling them. Know how to create loops and execute repetition.

• 6

  Know your subject. Underground hypnosis techniques are rooted in psychology and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP). Study and gain a familiarity with the human mind and what motivates people. Develop a keen eye for detail and nonverbal communication. Use these skills to test each subject's suggestibility to determine the appropriate language and techniques.

• 7

  Practice projecting your voice. Implement tone and nonverbal communication to influence your subject. Enlist the participation of a friend or family member, or take advantage of online networks where you can play language games, get expert advice and practice your craft with other hypnotists.

• 8

  Make sure you are in a controlled environment where the participant will not suffer any physical or psychological damage. Use the sounds and objects around you to enhance your suggestions, and not distract from them.
