Underground Hypnosis - What Is It?

September 24th, 2008 at 12:52pm Under General

If you’ve been thinking about hypnosis recently, chances are that you’ll have heard about underground hypnosis. But what exactly is it? You’ve obviously worked out that it doesn’t mean practicing hypnosis in a cave. But what kind of hypnotic techniques does it use? Is it legal and ethical to use them on other people? Are other people secretly using underground hypnosis techniques on you?

Normally, underground means either little known or it can also refer to a shady or dodgy idea. Of course, there’s always the risk that underground is merely a marketing ploy, designed to help increase sales!

In the case of underground hypnosis, it really is a set of techniques that isn’t used all that often. Partly because most people don’t consciously set out to hypnotize others. But mainly because most mainstream hypnotists – the kind you’d visit to cure your fear of heights for example – really don’t know these tips and tricks.

Hypnosis takes all shapes and forms. One of the most effective is when the hypnotic techniques you’re using “hide in plain sight”. They’re out there, in the open, for anyone to spot. Which is why they’re so powerful. Because, in reality, almost no-one spots them.

Watch a television commercial with the sound turned off if you want a quick lesson. The visuals are often completely at odds with the words that are used to distract your conscious mind. Sure that car is safe and designed to keep you alive if you got involved in a crash. But the images are showing you wide open roads with the automobile being driven at full throttle. Which is what your subconscious notices and then colludes with your conscious mind and the spoken words from the commercial to justify your purchase.

It’s not just television that uses this kind of underground hypnosis.

Have you ever met someone who nearly always gets their own way? Who wins near enough every argument they get involved in? Chances are they’re using underground hypnosis to help them.

Their spoken words will be full of embedded commands. You’d love to know what they are, wouldn’t you? (Which was an embedded command, telling you that you want to find out what embedded commands are).

And that example is just scratching the surface. Using underground hypnosis techniques, you can turn things around to your favor. Heck, it even works when it’s used on teenagers!

It pays to learn to use underground hypnosis so you can get others to do what you want them to do much more often. And, of course, to realize when underground hypnotic techniques are being used on you.

Exploring The Dark Side Of Hypnosis

September 24th, 2008 at 12:52pm Under General

Pretty much everything you encounter has a “dark” side, whether that’s obvious or not. Which means there is a dark side to hypnosis.

Scaremongering news stories aside, the dark side of hypnosis is often called “underground” or “black ops” hypnosis. Or sometimes it’s given a completely different name, such as “speed seduction”.

Whatever it’s called, you can be sure it exists.

If you practice hypnosis on people, you should always be ethical. Partly for the sake of the people you’re hypnotizing and partly for your own sake. But that doesn’t mean you can’t use some of the “darker” elements of hypnosis on other people. Just be certain you’re totally ethical about them.

Quite often, “dark” hypnosis is used when your subject isn’t placed into a hypnotic trance before you start using hypnotic techniques on them. From your subject’s point of view, you’re just having a normal conversation with them. From your point of view, you’re putting a number of not-so-subtle commands into the conversation that your subject will likely follow.

One easy “dark hypnosis” trick is to get your subject to imagine something. Because as soon as they’re asked to imagine, their conscious barriers melt away. After all, imagination is the stuff of fairy tales and they’re totally innocent, aren’t they?

You may even see your subject’s eyes start to glaze over or notice their mind has wandered. These are both good signs that you’ve put them into a waking trance. Any command you embed in your sentences from that point forward will drop near enough straight into their subconscious. So be careful what you say!

Confusion is another great way of getting someone into a hypnotic trance quickly and easily. Maybe your high school math teacher was secretly hypnotizing you with all those equations? Whilst someone’s mind is confused, it’s trying to resolve the confusion. So, again, hypnotic commands can be embedded in your conversation and will drop through to the person’s subconscious.

One good thing about dark hypnosis is that it can’t be used to subvert people completely. Despite what you may have read in some of the weirder parts of the press, hypnosis can’t force you to do anything you don’t want to do. Sure, it may reveal things about you that you weren’t totally aware of, but that’s another story.

As with all techniques, it pays to investigate them so that they are less likely to be used against you. You can find out more about the darker side of hypnosis here.
