Embedded suggestions:
In essence what happens is, the unconscious mind is a tremendous mechanism
at detecting patterns in life.
A lot of people have what is called implicit knowledge.
That is to say that you know how to do something, you just don’t
know where you learned it or where you picked it up from.
For example, everyone in western culture knows that a head nod means yes and
a shaking of the head means no.
So the unconscious mind is not only very good at detecting the patterns, it also
responds to them as instructions.
So the unconscious mind is not only very good at detecting the patterns, it also
responds to them as instructions.
This is the power of embedded suggestion.
It allows you to talk directly to the unconscious mind while the guard at the gate is
totally unaware of what ishappening and so responds to you in a very, very powerful,
very direct level.
This is the subtle art of embedded suggestion that you will be learning here.
Study it well because it is one of the patterns that distinguishes the novice from
the true masters.
how can you actually do it?
Remember the core way of marking out any embedded suggestion is that you’ve
got to create a pattern for the unconscious mind to recognize.
There are all kinds of patterns that you can use.
You can use physical patterns, movements, tonal
shifts, pauses and all of these different things.
The first way to mark it out is to simply use a gesture every time that you want to
mark out a particular word.
Let’s take the word for example, of relaxing.
Let’s say that you want to mark this out.
If every time you say the word relax, you perhaps lift an eyebrow or perhaps open the
palm of one of your hands.
The only thing you must do is to consistently make the same gesture whenever
the word relax comes out.
Now once you can do it with one word, the word relax,
then you can begin to build in more and more embedded suggestions using the
same gesture.
The same gesture doesn’t have to be for the same word. You can use all of the
unconscious information and embed it out or mark it out with that particular
gesture.
So you could have the sentence, “Relax, feel good, go deeper, relax, listen, pay
attention, relax, and feel good.”
So these are all simple suggestions which can be strung out as part of a bigger story.
Do this until you can make those gestures smoothly then perhaps make a few
different gestures so that you have several gestures that you can embed different
messages simultaneously.
The final way of embedding suggestions that you can practice, and there are an
infinite variety of ways that you can use by the way, but the final way that I would
like you to practice is to use your eye contact.
There is a very subtle way to do this.
Embedding suggestions with eye contact is actually quite straightforward.
All you have to do is imagine that the right eye is the conscious mind.
The left eyeball is the unconscious mind.
Then as you talk to people normally, make sure you maintain eye contact by
looking directly at the right eye.
Every time you want to embed a suggestion, embed a word or a phrase, once you are speaking that word or that phrase, you flick over and look at the left eye..
As soon as you have finished the word or the actual phrase, you go back to
looking at the right eye and carry on talking.
This is a very, very subtle way of embedding suggestion because most people
won't realize that you are doing this.
Most people won't even realize when you look from one eyeball to the other but the unconscious mind will notice.
It is a very powerful way to use eye contact in a normal conversation to embed a
particular suggestion.
As I said, this is also a very useful way of doing an indirect induction, a
conversational induction.
