How Do You Know if You’ve Been Hypnotized?

You may not realize this now, that hypnotic phrasing and command structures are all around you, in conversation, in print, and especially on daytime talk radio. You’re being quietly programmed to think in certain ways, to associate with certain things, and even to identify with a certain social self image.

You may not think you’re being influenced very much, until you discover how really easy it is to reprogram someone else, yourself. You might now notice too that most psychotherapy, for example, is simply the reprogramming of someone else.

The common key is that it’s all done with words. Putting someone into a trance is done with words. Posthypnotic suggestions are done with words.

Wide Awake Hypnosis

Giving someone covert commands or suggestions are all done with words. Posthypnotic actions performed by ordinary people like you are influenced with words by people like me. And it’s all done with words. You would like a demonstration?

Hell, exorcisms have a lot of pomp and ceremony but they are still performed with words! Words are used to kick out devils and demons, conjure spells, charms, heal the sick, tick people off, and communicate with God.

If you haven’t figured it out yet, words are what turns the ordinary person like you, like me, like whoever does good, into avatars of personal power.

And, you might even be astonished to know that performing wide awake hypnosis on others is actually easier to do than trance. Would you like to “hear” it in action?

Can You Hypnotize in Print?

A long time ago I signed up for a newsletter and got the shock of my life. I was delivered a form of wide awake hypnosis called “pattern interruption”. And it was all performed in print.

Here’s a free download on “pattern interruption” that’ll blow your mind, and vastly improve your understanding of why it works as a covert hypnotic inducer.

From the uneventful press of a “click here” for the newsletter, to the annoyance of having to “get up and get the credit card” (not for the newsletter mind you but for a product being offered by the newsletter publisher), I was virtually on automatic pilot!

Can you really realize the importance of this? I was wide awake! And…

Wouldn’t you know it? The publisher is one of today’s top Internet copy writers for advertising and the owner of a company based entirely on hypnotic writing. By the way, I did buy the material. And it was extremely educational. I’m still learning; but boy do YOU have a lot of catching up to do!

Believe me; when you have discovered the secrets of conversational hypnosis that I’m going to show you, (a subset of Neuro-linguistic Programming), you will have personally advanced onto a higher level of this playing field called influence.

And the new view you’ll find up here is so much clearer. You’ll see.

An amateur magician is anyone who has a minimum amount of talent, skill and knowledge when it comes to performing magic tricks. He or she may be anyone who knows one magic trick or at least three magic tricks.

But basically, a more technical definition of an amateur magician is anyone who does not in any way practice magic as their trade, even if he or she knows four, five, six or more than a number of magic tricks. This is regardless of how good, better or excellent he or she may be in performing flourishes, sleight of hand or optical illusions.

However, there are those amateur magicians who try their very best to expand their current knowledge as well as repertoire and still practice magic as their primary source of income. People who do this are usually called hedge magicians. This is in order to differentiate them from authentic professional magicians who make practicing and performing magic as a trade and make an actual living doing so.

Meanwhile a professional magician is anyone who has a little bit more knowledge and talent compared to an amateur magician. These professional magicians know sufficient magic that makes it enough for them to use it as their primary source of trade and income, as well as not using magic to assist them in a trade other than magic.

So technically, even if a barber performs his job using magic and no matter how many tricks he or she knows and is capable of, that barber is still not considered as a professional magician because his primary trade is cutting hairs and not necessarily being a magician. Another way to differentiate a professional magician from an amateur is by the way he or she does flourishes.

According to the Online Encylopedia of Magic, a flourish is any sleight that is performed for the purpose of entertaining an audience and does not in any way contain any moves that are hidden. Most sleights that are performed are done so in order to deceive a captive audience and to do something that can not be detected. Meanwhile, a flourish is any trick that is done to draw the audience’s attention away from where an actual sleight is simultaneously being performed.

There are some magicians who consider the performance of a flourish as simply a finger exercise and not really actual pieces of performance. But those magicians who do put in and include flourishes in their act are considered by some of their fellow magicians as a seriously skilled performer.

If a performance consists of a card trick wherein the cards are spread out on the table and when a performer does a pressure card fan, the image that that performer projects is one of professionalism and experience. But a performer of magic who simply holds the cards and then spreads them slightly, may then be considered more as an amateur. Although this may or may not be true or this may not be considered as a hard fact, this is the perception and the impression that a performing magician usually gives to an audience.

Flourishes are done not just as a form of show-off to the audience, a flourish is also done for the purpose of presenting just how a performer is truly dedicated to the magic act. It also shows the degree of professionalism one has for the performance.

When a flourish is done, it makes it easier to know the difference between a magic trick performed by an expert magician and your friendly neighborhood Jim who is doing a card trick.

A skilled performer comes off as a natural and will ultimately receive more credit for his or her performance as well as recognition, not to mention that good old respect for the skills he or she has.

When a spectator is looking at a magic trick where the occasional flourish is done, that performer is also seen as more than a magician but a person who is passionate at what he or she is doing. It is therefore so much easier to hire a magician who has more skills and experience than one who needs to practice his or her craft more.

It is not too uncommon to find a person with a spider phobia. If you are reading this page, you probably include yourself amongst the number of people who have a dread fear of those creepy, eight-legged beasties.

It’s pretty easy to understand why you would be afraid of spiders. They creep around with their fat bodies and hairy legs, spinning webs to snare prey and suck the life out of them. And the big ones don’t even start! As a matter of fact, you are probably getting the heebie-jeebies just reading these lines. Thankfully, you don’t need to live with your spider phobia forever. Through hypnosis, you can rid yourself of your spider phobia and stop freezing up whenever you see one of those creepy-crawly monsters.

To understand how hypnosis can help you with your spider phobia, you must understand how hypnosis works. First, it relaxes you into a state not unlike meditation or deep sleep. However, the relaxation is not entirely like either of those examples, as it still keeps your mind open to suggestion and the second portion of hypnosis. By applying suggestion to your subconscious mind, it can alter your conscious mind. In this case, your subconscious mind will tell your conscious mind that spiders are more afraid of you than you are of them, so there is no need to freeze up when you see them.

Hypnosis is actually very simple, but its results are very powerful. Ridding people of their fears is one of its most common uses and it can work wonders on your spider phobia. Through the use of self-hypnosis tapes or by visiting a hypnotherapist, you can quickly set aside your arachnophobia and be comfortable enough around spiders to either leave them to their own devices, or just whack them with a newspaper.

When you decide that it is time for your spider phobia to finally leave you alone, hypnosis can allow you to be comfortable around our eight-legged friends. You may not want them in your home, but you can at least have the confidence to get rid of them yourself, instead of either freezing up or hollering for someone else to come and kill your spiders for you. So let hypnosis work for you, and put your spider phobia into your past, where it belongs.
