Persuasion Artist

In a harsh tone of disapproval my Mother asked me the other day “Why do you feel like you need to learn hypnosis?” 

If you have stumbled across this blog you may be wondering how persuasion and covert hypnosis skills would benefit you. 

When my mom asked me why I need to learn hypnosis, I simply told her that I do not need hypnosis any more than a painter needs to paint.  A painter paints because he loves to express art.  A persuasion artist persuades to express art also.

A painter paints on paper and canvas.  A persuasion artist persuades on their own minds and the minds of others.

It reminds me of a quote by the famous English Sculptor:

“Art is the means by which we communicate what it feels like to be alive…” -Antony Gormley

That’s the short answer I gave my mom.  The long answer I am going to share with you.

Money, sex, success

More money, more sex, more success and prestige are among the benefits you hear the persuasion gurus telling you can be achieved once you learn these persuasion skills. Underneath all those obvious benefits of learning to persuade lie the reasons as to why I am so passionate about persuasion:

1.  Self Discovery

In order to persuade others you need to first persuade yourself.  As a result of learning how other people “tick” I naturally learn how I tick.  This has opened me up to insights and awareness that allow me to really get to know and love myself even more. 

To know your strengths, your weaknesses, and you highest values allows you to feel your true power.

2.  Zen and the Art of Persuasion

Another reason why I love persuasion is the Zen aspect to it.  There is an unexplainable rush that artists get when they are fully absorbed in their work. I believe that something magical happens when persuasion artists get absorbed like this in their expression of their hypnotic abilities. 

This is the place the Zen masters call No Mind. No mind is the level of mastery in kung fu where you are no longer trying to do kung fu; you are only being kung fu.

This being kung fu happens in a way that, as you perform- you are so present in the moment, that suddenly you aren’t thinking about what to do next, you just feel the natural impulse to move when appropriate, where you can’t even tell if you are shaping the performance or the performance is shaping you. 

As hypnotists we know this is a type of trance is the rush that allows up to be masterfully persuasive.

As an aspect of knowing how other’s minds work, you understand other’s better which causes you to connect and bond with people on a deep deep level.  Not only that, but as a persuasion artist you understand how people understand things. 

This means you can communicate a message that is received more clearly and in a way that really resonates with that person to the point where they feel really good about what you are saying.  And hey, you gotta think that’s cool!

4.  Making Others Feel Good 

When I first started learning persuasion and covert hypnosis I was scared.  I was scared that I sounded funny or worse that people would catch me and think I was trying to manipulate them.

When I eventually started applying persuasion I realized I wasn’t really manipulating people at all; I was making people feel amazing.

With covert hypnosis you can use your state, your words, and your intention to make people feel really good.  With me in my example, as I started using hypnotic language patterns in my everyday speech, controlling my tonality and tempo, and using questions that elicit powerful good feeling states in others, I noticed that people began to appreciate me more.

The lesson I learned was that persuasion is not some sneaky manipulative thing you are doing like stealing someone’s wallet, in fact it’s just the opposite.  When used in the “win-win” context persuasion has the ability to make people feel more alive, and that really is a gift.

Something I always say is that hypnosis is not just about putting people into trance.  Hypnosis is also very much about waking people up from the trance they are already in but don’t realize. 

Hypnosis harnesses a power that I love, a power to free myself and others from limitations, limiting beliefs, and mental blocks that people use to keep themselves from having, being, and doing whatever they want.

5.  Persuasion Is LIFE

Persuasion is a skill you will always need, and quite possibly the most valuable and important skill you could develop. 

• Maybe you want to learn “sneaky, banned, black-op, forbidden, covert hypnosis” persuasion techniques or maybe you just want to learn to influence and communicate a bit more smoothly and naturally.

• Maybe you want to double your closing ratio, or maybe you just want to increase your closing abilities.

• Maybe you’d be happy with one date a month, or maybe you want to be a seduction artist, bedding multiple women every other night.

• Maybe you just want to learn one persuasion strategy that you found (like rapport) or maybe you are a die hard persuasion artist like me who wants to learn every trick in the book.

• Maybe you think that some parts of covert hypnosis are unethical or maybe you might be a guy who will use any tactic no matter the consequence with no moral compass.

• Maybe you are like my family and think persuasion is the Devil’s playground. or maybe you are like me and just wish it were the Devil’s playground >:->

No matter how you approach persuasion, you and I can both agree that persuasion is relevant. 

Persuasion is the center our economy. Without attracting business and closing sales money doesn’t change hands and stimulate the economy. 

Seduction is one of the oldest forms of persuasion because people were having sex before there was money.  Without seduction, the human race goes extinct. 

You persuade people to come to your business, you persuade people to like you, to buy from you, to date and to marry you.  You use persuasion in skills in more ways than you realize all through out the day- every day.

Persuasion has to happen, and it will happen whether you have a basic, boring, dated, Win Friends and Influence People understanding of persuasion or you have a proven system that changes people’s minds and gets you predictable results.  I choose the latter of the two.

Bottom line, persuasion is life. Persuasion is what drives us; persuasion is what gets people to act and action is what moves the world.
