Covert Hypnosis: Experiment with Different Thought Patterns, Attitudes and Intentions

You see, when people don’t respond positively to you when you meet them, it’s only because of the thoughts you have running through your brain. Start searching and experimenting with different thought patterns, attitudes and intentions. Once you find the success, roll out with it to experience predictable social events – with absolute certainty, covert hypnosis will help you for sure. Now supposing you have found the right thoughts and attitudes to have, now what?

The next step is to simply pace the person. Pacing is nothing more than matching a person. You can match a person’s:

•   Gestures

•   Posture

•   Tone of voice

•   Pace at which they speak

•   Body movements – even subtle ones like scratching your nose

•   Breathing

Naturally, when we share similarities with a person we will already match a person without having to be consciously aware of it or by simply asking “What must the person be thinking, feeling and imagining?” For example, if I’m talking with a person and we begin talking about a subject we both enjoy, we naturally share like interest so our postures, gestures, tone of voice etc…, may already match each others without my having to be consciously aware of it. This, by far is the easiest way to get into rapport. However, we aren’t always this lucky. Sometimes it’s required of you to literally try to “mirror” a person’s unconscious movements by putting forth the conscious effort.

This requires greater skill. How could one have a conversation with a person, pay attention to them, yet at the same time remain aware of how they are talking, moving, breathing etc? Answer: practice. There’s a fine line between offending someone by appearing to “mock” them. Meaning, you don’t have to match them completely right away.

With most people, you’ll find there’s about a 30 second window before a “mirror” move is required. This way, it doesn’t seem like there’s literally a mirror in front of the person and you’re trying desperately to play the role of the image in the mirror.

For example: if a person crosses their legs, you could cross yours in 25 seconds or so instead of right away. If they change their posture from a more relaxed to more “correct” you can do the same about 15 seconds after. Obviously, this appears to be more natural, and eventually the person’s unconscious mind will begin to think “I don’t know why, but I really like this person.”

Once you’ve successfully paced a person and the liking between the both of you has increased, then you can begin to “lead” them.

Gaining rapport with a person is nothing more than appearing to be like the person. Simply pretending to be the person you’re talking to is more than enough, in my opinion. It’s never faulted me. Start there and if anymore skills are required, use the easy to apply techniques taught in this article. Now, once you’ve gained rapport successfully with another, you then begin to make the shift from appearing to be like them to leading them.
