SPEAKING HYP…..

In 1898 Boris Sidis in “Psychology of Suggestion” wrote about the difference between indirect (choices) and direct  (command) suggestion.  “You will go deeply into trance”…. versus  “you may notice…”

If the client is very alert or conscious, and you’re direct, they may not go into trance easily, as you’re trying to tell them what to do and they’re going to contradict you.  However, if you’re indirect it gets the Conscious Mind out of the way.  When  the client is deeply in trance you need to be more specific and direct and literal though, and talk to the Unconscious the way you’d talk to a small child.

Your Hypnotic voice should be softer, lower in pitch, and more gravely.  It helps to tilt your jaw down & talk more from the back of your throat, not the front of your mouth.  Try that – it really makes a difference.

OK, so now you know how to sound hypnotic, what exactly do you say to yourself or your client to induce a hypnotic trance state?

THE MILTON MODEL

In the old days Hypnosis was Direct Authoritarian,  where the hypnotist would say “Sit Down, uncross your arms and go into a deep trance”.  We don’t do that anymore – that’s old hat.  We’re going to learn how to use your voice…..to put someone under “Linguistic anaesthetic”.  NLP gave us the Hypnosis language patterns to use, as modelled from Milton Erickson MD.  Richard Bandler and John Grinder modelled Erickson and broke down the trancey sentences that when put together make the eyes heavy…  Imagine that.  Your words can alter someone’s state…

This chapter will teach you and make you proficient with The Milton Model, abstract, artfully vague hypnotic language patterns as modelled from Milton Erickson, the world’s leading Hypnotherapist.  Now let’s take the trance to learn how to speak hip…notically…

FIRST OF ALL, A STORY:


I know that you have your own expectations of what a Hypnotic Language Pattern article will provide you with, and that’s just perfect!  It’s very important to be expectant when reading useful information, and you’re learning here today will probably increase your curiosity.  Hypnotic language is exciting, and excitement means rapid change.  You see, some people haven’t realised…..yet…just how powerful the technology of HGE and hypnosis actually are…although anyone and everyone who’s taken the trance to train with us in person sees the very real benefits in the end.  You probably thought you couldn’t get this level of excellence, and now you can.  Now.  I’m not sure if you already know this or not, but Milton Model patterns are the key to effective communication, and the more you read and explore this subject, the more you’ll get, don’t you think? 

We’re all interested in rapid growth, I mean, weren’t you?  You know the kind of feeling that you want, so sooner or later you’re going to call in some expert assistance…

Now…you’re sitting here, thinking about all that’s been said and not said here, or whether you just want to take the next step only.  Doesn’t this sound like just what you’re looking for?

See, last month we ran a training in which the team leader talked about his boss’s favourite author who wrote always be learning….yet not everyone sees it right away.  Yet a profit & loss statement tells its own story, doesn’t it?  So that team leader resigned..himself to always be learning when the opportunity lands on your doorstep, and we are right on your doorstep, are we not?

Oh that’s right, we’ve already been invited inside….

The team leader’s name is John, and he wanted to fly up from where he lives….down there, all the way up here to leave behind all the sounds of the big city, and come and breathe easily in bonnie Scotland – hear all the accents, language and colloquialisms, and just to……relax….and let go..of any concerns of working so hard.  So he bought a first class ticket, and went to the station.  Now having all the time in the world, he explored the station.  And he found something rather curious, down an old, dimly lit corridor.  Way down there, he found, dusty and unused in such a long time, a “speak your weight and fortune” machine.  So he stepped up, put his money in the slot, and heard it rattle all the way down deep inside the machine.  From the machine came a deep gravely voice that said “Your name is John, you weigh 10 stone and you’re going to catch the 2:20 to Glasgow

Now all of that was true, but how did it know?  I mean usually fortune tellers are very vague, very ambiguous, but this said exactly the right thing.  So he stepped back up, put his money where his mouth was, and once again the machine spoke in a deep gravely voice “Your name is still John, you still weigh 10 stone and you’re still going to catch the 2:20 to Glasgow

Now John is a consultant who travels around a lot, and if you’re as mobile as he is, you need to stay in touch.  You need to be able to get in touch with your messages.  You want to get all the messages that are sent loud and clear, because that gives you freedom and flexibility.  So you need to make a choice – you need to get the right tool for the job.  So I went down the way to see “so and so communications”.  At least that’s what the sign above the door said, and that reminds me of another story….

I needed to get my questions answered.  I needed to get something that was once hard to get, and now its part of everyday life.  So I went inside to speak to the one…..you know…..the one you speak to.  I’m not really sure what I said to him.  In fact I’m not really sure he knows what I said to him.  All I do know is that we got agreement, and I don’t know if you already know how to do this or not, but I had loads to choose from.  19 different types in all.  Lots of different types of mobile – different categories to choose from……but which one should I choose? So we talked for a while, and we cut it down to ten, then narrowed it down further……to five, then four, then two……but I still wasn’t really sure which one should I pick…..?


WHY LEARN THIS?

You cannot not affect an individual’s representation of what you say.  In other words what you say creates pictures, thoughts and feelings in the heads of people you talk to.  Think about that for a moment… and you’re doing that right now, aren’t you…?

There are 5 main reasons to learn this model:

5 – It helps you build rapport.  You will be using language that is artfully vague, lacks any real content and is easy to get agreement with
4 – It induces trance!  When I first learned this, I was amazed!!  You can affect another person’s state using only your words.  Basically hypnotise someone using hypnotic language – specific ways of saying things that are trancey. When I first learned that I got really excited!
3- You can establish direct access to another person’s unconscious mind.  You can talk directly to the oldest & wisest part of you.  You can activate all the inbuilt potential & resources of the human mind and body.  Would you like to know how to do that?
2 – All change is unconscious.  That means you can open people up to new learnings and new concepts, which will assist people in getting the changes they want.  Just suppose you could help people to change?  All learning, all change and all behaviour require trance.  Just try multiplying 7 x 6 right now.
Welcome back.
See?
1 – Abstraction controls specificity. There’s more power in abstraction – the big picture, global concepts control the small specific details.  Think economics.  Think politics.  Think about those tiny plastic things at the end of your shoe laces.  Now which are more important?

WHAT IS THE MILTON MODEL?

The Milton Model is a language tool for inducing trance states in yourself and other people, modelled from a world renowned expert in his field.  Elements of genius from a legendary professional.  Does that sound like something you’d like to learn?

Hypnotic language patterns are vague, abstract sentence structures that put you into a trance – you go inside your head to make sense out of what you heard. 

Bandler & Grinder modelled Milton Erickson’s language.  John Grinder said Erickson provided him with the single greatest model he ever used.  When Erickson read “Patterns & Techniques of Milton Erickson MD Volume 1” (1975) he called it “A delightful simplification of the language I use with patients – I learned a great deal about the things I’ve done without knowing about them”.

There are 19 patterns taught within this Model, so let’s go through them one at a time, learn the kinds of words to use, and then we’ll give you some examples.

Milton Model

Hypnotic Language Patterns


 1.        Mind Read           
Claiming to know the thoughts or feelings of another without specifying
the process by which you came to know the info.

“I know that you are wondering...”
I know you’re wondering how much impact this will have
Perhaps you don’t know yet how powerful HGE is
I can see you’ve learned more than you thought you would
I know you have your own expectations
I can tell that you like what I’m saying
You’re probably thinking that it’s time to move on

 2.        Lost Performative
Value judgments where the performer of the value judgment is left out.

“And it’s a good thing to wonder...”
It’s good to be sceptical about powerful information
It’s right for you to wonder what’s in it for you
Today’s a great day to make a strategic decision
That’s perfect!
It’s really good that you asked that
This is a wonderful process
There’s a right way to do this and a better way to do this
It’s a wise thing to review your department’s progress
It’s best to add your own examples here now:

 3.        Cause & Effect  
Where it is implied that one thing causes another.  Implied Causatives include:
            a.         C>E makes
            b.         If... then...
            c.         As you... then you...

“Because...”
Our discussion will probably increase your curiousity
Because you’ve booked your place that makes you even more committed
Since you’ve done training before, that makes you ready for more
If you come into this room then you’ll improve
Just by asking that question, you’re starting to see the benefits
Since you’re reading this sentence, you can think of several more examples.

 4.        Complex Equivalence
Where two things are equated - as in their meanings being equivalent.

“That means...”
Training is exciting and excitement means growth
Having invested this much time shows me you’re serious about results
Your questions mean you already want assistance
Having gotten this far means you can write more examples of this pattern.

 5.        Presupposition 
The linguistic equivalent of assumptions.
“You are learning many things...”
The problems you’re facing are fixable
Some business people haven’t realised how powerful HGE is
Now your HR team will be able to produce with even more credibility
How much more value would you have gotten from me by having another session?
Most of the best examples of this pattern will be written here by you.

 6.        Universal Quantifier
A set of words having:              a.  a universal generalization and
                                                            b.  no referential index. (doesn’t say “who”)
“And all the things, all the things...”
Everyone in this room cares about profit
Everything will become clear once you’ve completed this chapter
You always get results
Anyone I’ve presented to saw the benefits in the end
You have them all in your head. Write every one you can think of here.

 7.        Modal Operator
Words which implies possibility or necessity, and which form our rules in life.

“That you can learn...”
You have to understand our position in all of this
You shouldn’t have to want it, unless you really need it
Would it be possible?
You might discover you can dare to go ahead
You probably thought you couldn’t, but now you can
You must be getting the hang of this by now
You could list a few more examples on the lines below.

 8.        Nominalization
Process words which has been frozen in time by making them into nouns.

“Provide you with new insights, and new understandings.”
HGE is easy
Your input to this relationship is really important
You’re looking for demonstration of powerful impact
Increased profitability shows renewed vigour
Empowerment is a possibility
Your thoughts on nominalizations are an important form of communication

 9.        Unspecified Verb
Misses out the “how”
“And you can,”
Tony Robbins says “When you can’t, you must”
You may discover you start moving forward
The more you continue with this, the more you’ll get out of it
If you could just let go and notice your intentions
Now perhaps you could continue to

10.       Tag Question
A question added after a statement, designed to displace resistance.  Draws your attention to the question and gets agreement.
“Can you not?”
You can see the value in this, can’t you?
We’re all interested in profits, don’t you think?
We’re all looking to agree here, aren’t we?
And you do want the best, don’t you?
You’ll add more to the list now won’t you?

11.       Lack of Referential Index
A phrase which does not pick out a specific portion of the listener’s experience.  Misses out the who.

“One can, you know...”
We put people though a wonderful process
That’s the way to do business
Folk do, you know
It’s often said that…
Statistics prove…
Please help them -  they couldn’t think of any more of these.

12.       Comparative Deletion   (Unspecified Comparison)
Where the comparison is made and it is not specified as to what or whom it was made.

“And it’s more or less the right thing.”
Sooner or later you’re going to employ some expert assistance
At one time or another you’ve loved a training you’ve done
It’s probably better to start now, sooner rather than later
Before or after this chapter?
That are more or less better than the ones above, as they occur to you from time to time.

13.       Pace Current Experience
Where client’s experience (verifiable, external) is described in a way which is undeniable.  Makes the person go internal.
“You are sitting here, listening to me, looking at me, (etc.)...”
We’re all sitting here, discussing these ideas
Just thinking about stuff like this
Just after you blink, you’ll notice your breathing
As your eyes  continue reading the words on this page  while you’re looking at it and from time to time you may become aware of the thoughts in your mind or those  sensations in your  hand or down  there on the soles of  your feet you could  also begin to  wonder if you could  think of how artfully  you can  pace a  person’s ongoing  experience and you might even like to make a note or two right here now about pacing.

14.       Double Bind
Where it appears like there’s a choice but actually there isn’t
“And that means that your unconscious mind is also here, and can hear (phonological ambiguity) what I say.  And since that’s the case, you are probably learning about this and already know more at an unconscious level than you think you do, and it’s not right for me to tell him, learn this or learn that, let him learn in any way he wants, in any order.”
Take all the time you need to take the next step
Will you book this training, or the one later this year?
Is this valuable to you, or just vital?
Light trance, medium trance, deep trance – either will do
If you don’t  write at least  one more double  bind in the  space below now, you will either think of one automatically very soon, or else  wonder when the next  one will come to  mind, so you can write it down then.

15.       Conversational Postulate
The communication has the form of a question, a question to which the response is either a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’.  If I want you to do something, what else must be present so that you will do it, and out of your awareness?  It allows you to choose to respond or not and avoids authoritarianism.

“Do you feel this... (punctuation ambiguity) is something you understand?”
Does this sound like just what you want?
Do you feel ready to become a master communicator?
Can you picture yourself doing this?
Will you remember to congratulate yourself on your decision?
Would you mind writing down a couple more conversational postulates here?

16.       Extended Quote
“Last week I was with Richard who told me about his training in 1983 at Denver when he talked to someone who said...”
Last month we ran a course in which the team leader talked about his bosses favourite expression which was “Always seize an opportunity”
Did I tell you that Eleanor watched Newsnight last night, when Jeremy Paxman asked his guest “How badly do you need this?”
The other day, a participant in the training was telling me that her husband said Jonathan had told him to ask you to write a couple of extended quotes down right here.

17.       Selectional Restriction Violation
A sentence that is not well formed in that only humans and animals can have feelings. In this sentence structure you attribute feelings to an inanimate object.
“A chair can have feelings...”
I was driving the car with trainers
How does your toilet feel getting flushed?
How stressed does your email get?
If you’re not sure, ask the executive chair
Your accounts speak volumes
Do sales cry out when they fall?
How does a mirror feel being stared at all day?
Who does a ladder lean on for support?
Your pen knows how to write selectional restriction violations very easily, if you will just lead it to the paper below now.

18.       Ambiguity
a.         Phonological:
            “Hear”, “Here”
You can trust you’re unconscious mind now.
So you think you can’t deal with your lover? Love her; can’t you?

b.         Syntactic:
            Where the function (syntactic) of a word cannot be immediately determined from the immediate context.
            “They are visiting relatives”
Your increasing options
Hypnotizing hypnotists can be tricky.
This is a training in trance

c.         Scope:
            Where it cannot be determined by linguistic context how much is applied to that sentence by some other portion of the sentence.
            “Speaking to you as a child...”
            “The old men & women...”
            “The disturbing noises & thoughts...”
            “The weight of your hands & feet...”
Your deep breathing and trance. . . .
Speaking to you as a master hypnotist
            d.         Punctuation:
                        I want you to notice your hand me the glass.”
My boss resigned himself to constant learning
If you hear any ambiguities, it’s all right to write them right here.

19.       Utilization
            Utilize all that happens or is said.

            Client says: “I am not sold.”
            Response: “That’s right you are not sold, yet, because you haven’t asked the one question that will have you totally and completely sold.”
Client: "I don’t think I know."
Practitioner: "That’s right, you don’t you know."

Client: "I can’t be hypnotized."
Practitioner: "That’s right. You can’t be hypnotized yet, because you haven’t asked the one question yet that will let you relax completely"

Client: “We can’t afford you”
Practitioner: “That’s right, you can’t afford me yet, because you haven’t realised the alternative”

Client: "This meeting’s dragging on a bit."
Practitioner: "That’s right, so it must be time to agree"

Client: "HGE is all about mind control, isn’t it?"
Practitioner: "That’s right, we do teach people how to control their own minds"

Putting it all together:
Perhaps you don’t know… yet… how powerful HGE is, and it’s good to be sceptical about powerful information.  In fact, our discussion will probably increase your curiousity, and your internal questions mean you already want assistance.  Now, the problems you’re facing are fixable, and everything will become clear once you’ve completed this paragraph.  You have to understand your position in all of this - your input to this relationship is really important, and the more you continue reading, the more you’ll get out of it…. and you do want the best, don’t you?  You see, we put people though a wonderful process, because at one time or another you’ve loved a training you’ve done.  And as your eyes continue reading the words on this page, while you’re looking at it …from time to time you may become aware of the thoughts in your mind or those sensations in your hand or down there on the soles of your feet, you could also begin to wonder if you could take all the time you need to take the next step.
  Does this sound like just what you want?  Did I tell you that Eleanor watched Newsnight last night, when Jeremy Paxman asked his guest “How badly do you need this?”  I mean, your accounts speak volumes, but they’re conscious, aren’t they?  You can also trust you’re unconscious mind now, because this is a training in trance.  And speaking to you as a master hypnotist, are you wearing anything that restricts you can loosen off now…

HOW DO I USE THESE?

The next step is to figure out how to use all of this.  How do you make someone go inside their head to make sense out of what you’re saying?  It shifts the listeners attention from outside, to inside……….  As you use fluffy language they go inside and try to make sense out of it from their model of the world.

The Milton Circle – a favourite exercise that we conduct in our 7 day HGE Practitioner and Hypnosis weekend trainings.  Simply sit in a circle with a few other willing participants, and simply say aloud a Milton pattern example in your best “hypnotic voice”.  The next person then picks up and links a sentence onto yours.  Then the next person, and so on.  Keep going until all your eyes are closed….

Write emails using hypnotic language patterns.

In your speech – talk slightly slower than normal, and softly.  As for Tonality – pull your chin down a bit and bring your voice out from the back of your mouth.  You will sound deeper and more gravely.  Try saying this sentence with your mouth & jaw in that position…

WHAT IF YOU MASTERED THIS?

You’re probably wondering where…….and how……you will apply this model in your life, are you not?

What happens if you just dry up?  My strategy is to just pick one, say it aloud, and then keep doing that.

You’ll probably find some that are your favourites, or that some are easier to remember than others.  That’s because you probably talk like that anyway.  Practice and train up your least preferred patterns.

What happens if someone calls you on it?  They might say “You’re talking weird!  You’re not making any sense!”.  You just utilise it and keep going:  “That’s right, I’m not making any sense…..yet, and that’s because……”

Practice – get a sheet of paper for each category and write out ten examples of each

Come up with five business or career applications for this Model.  Where could you use this?  Imagine business meetings and you start talking hyp…….ah….

What if you did presentations and talks where you were able to control the audiences state moment to moment…

What would Customer Services be like getting agreement in trance, or in person, over the counter, over the phone?!!

Now  you’re ready for your first formal trance induction….

In the next instalment of this 6 part Hypnosis E-Course, you’ll receive a word for word script that you can record your own voice reading, and create your very own trancey Self-Hypnosis session…
