Persuasion Artist

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Years ago I heard an old motivational speaker say the following:

“With persuasion, your words matter not, it only matters where those words come from. People will pick up on your energy at an unconscious level. They will be drawn to you or ignore you based on what they pick up from you intuitively.”

That was one of the first times I heard “energy and persuasion” used in the same paragraph. Using your energy to persuade is an unusual new form of persuasion practiced by many persuasion artists.

I used to be good friends with a world famous persuasion guru. I won’t reveal his name but if you have been studying NLP with seduction specifically for more than five minutes you have definitely heard of him. He has students in pretty much very major city in the world, he has an impressive level of persuasion home study courses from beginner level to advanced, and he has been teaching persuasion seminars around the planet for the past 20 years.

I remmeber the first night we went out to meet women at a local bar. We were at his house getting ready to go. I was very excited to see my persuasion idol in action for the first time. We were about to walk out the door when I noticed him doing some strange exercise I had never seen before. He was moving his body like he was doing some kind of yoga stance and he was focusing on his breathing very intently.

“What are you doing?” I asked.
“I am influencing my energy, so that I meet the right people tonight.”
“How?” I asked.
“I do this visualization and breathing exercise” he said. “So when I go into the bar, I will be able to get in rapport with the women I want to meet before I even open my mouth.”

I was like, uh, yeah… okay whatever dude, let’s go.

He looked at me and smiled the confident smile you see only on someone who knows a big secret you don’t.

Persuasion and Energy

Because I was going out with one of the world’s greatest persuasion artists on the planet I was expecting to see him explode into a flurry of powerful advanced hypnotic language patterns.

To my surprise I didn’t see my friend didn’t even use one hypnotic language pattern. But for whatever mysterious reason, people were drawn to him like a magnet. It seemed like me made friends with all the cool people at the bar. We would just be talking at the bar and women would approach him, guys were even buy him drinks. We had a great time.

I thought of what be said about influencing his energy and gaining rapport before even opening his mouth on our way to the bar. I was curious I wanted to know more.

I asked him how I could do that too, he said “Bill start meditating, and you will become more sensitive to the energy of others. Once you are able to sense the vibe of other people you will not have to worry about what to say to influence others you will use your intuition to influence others.”

I didn’t know exactly what he meant, but he gave me a meditation exercise I began practicing daily.

After a few months of doing this meditation, I noticed in my sales career I was improving. I was more centered and balanced in my persuasion, I was not an effected by peoples’ objections, getting rapport with others was a snap, I was more charismatic, and I was able to use the language patterns naturally and easily.

The further I walked down this path of persuasion and energy the more I noticed strange things began to happen.

I started getting intuitions about people; not cheesy fortune teller intuitive, but more like really strong gut feelings about people. I could just really pick up on things in people, and when I got in rapport with people my intuition as even more powerful.

It was great in my sales career because I knew which prospects to spend more time with based on their energy, and which prospects to avoid. I was even able to sense personal things about a person.

The more I continued on this path, the more I got these powerful gut feelings or intuitions.

Introduction to Psychic Influence

One day I was watching a video, by another famous persuasion guru and I picked up on something intuitively that he did in the video similar to what my friend was doing. I couldn’t explain it with words, but I could tell he did something unique with his energy in that video to attract clients.

I asked him about it in an email.

He was impressed that I could pick up on what he was doing.

He told me that behind some of the most successful and powerful persuaders is a very strong spiritual life. He then went on to recommend ten books to me. None of which had anything to do with persuasion! They were all ritual magick books!

The common thread of all these books was it is possible to persuade others beyond the power of your words, or psychic influence.

Here this guy is, possibly one of the greatest persuasion teachers of all time and he is revealing to me that he uses spiritual and magickal methods like intention, energy, and chakras manipulation to persuade others.

I was shocked. Up until that point my only experience of this psychic influence material was limited to my friend the other persuasion guru. Seems there are more people in on this energy persuasion than I thought.

A few months ago I was at work and I received a phone call from Pedro one of the other sales people in my company.

“Tell me about the golden bubble!” he said.

Evidently word got out that I was using these mental exercises to increase my sales.

I explained “What I do is I imagine the person I want to gain rapport with in a golden, warm bubble, filled with positive energy and love and connection. ”

Silence…

Intuitively I could tell, I threw Pedro off, and I needed to break it down a bit more.

I went on to tell him “Look, psychology tells us that communication is more than 90% nonverbal, so if that’s true, we are communicating with people on deeper levels than just words. There are cultures around the world that have known this long before our western scientist have. So when I imagine blasting them with warm positive thoughts I believe they pick up on it at an unconscious level, and their unconscious mind warms up to me, and the result is we are in rapport. Is something mystical going on, or is it just a constructive hallucination that puts me in the right state I need to be in to gain rapport with a person? I haven’t a clue as to exactly how it works. I just know it works.”

Psychic Influence vs Persuasion

I am always hesitant to reveal this side of myself on this blog, and you probably can see why. Psychic influence and energy persuasion is not the stuff you learn in persuasion 101 like language patterns, embedded commands, anchoring etc.

Energy persuasion has more to do with your state, management of your mental images, your intention and your will.

It is more about persuading yourself than persuading someone else.

I think this is what people who say; just be yourself, or just be authentic are intuitively picking up on. Those people would agree with the old motivational speaker that says your energy is more important than your words, but I believe those people along with the motivational speaker of that book are still missing something of great value.

No matter what you do with your energy if you just stand at stare at someone silently, you are not influencing them. You at least need to know how to ask for the sale, or you at least need to know how to ask a woman out.

Energy alone doesn’t work.

That being said I personally know many persuasion artists who have been to all the persuasion seminars, have all the persuasion home study courses, have read every book on NLP, and know all the cool language patterns but they can’t persuade themselves out of a paper bag.

Fancy smancy covert language patterns and covert hypnosis strategies alone don’t work either.

My philosophy is to combine both approaches. Learn all you can about how to persuasion, but also learn all you can about how to radiate an energy influences others.

The combination will be so powerful people around you will think you have supernatural persuasion powers.

The Golden Bubble

Here is the method I learned from my old persuasion mentor to gain rapport using energy:

1. Imagine two balls of light on the floor about the size of two hula-hoops.

2. Walk into the first ball of light, and imagine your agenda is clearing from you completely, say silently to your self “unconditional love” The purpose of this is to communicate to them unconsciously that you are not attached to the outcome and they are totally free with you.

3. Imagine that in the second ball of light is a life size image of them. Walk into that image as if you are trying on their body. Feel what it feels like to feel their hair style, be their body shape, be their gender if they are opposite your own, and feel what its like to have their hair style. See if you can imagine what it must be like to be them. If they are a prospect, feel what it feels like to be your customer. If they are a women you want to date, feel what it feels like to be the object of your attraction. Next say to yourself “compassion”

4. Imagine creating another energy ball make it pink, orange, or golden light, warm colors work best. In your mind charge this energy ball with warm feelings. Fill it with the feeling of being with your best friend, or being with a baby, whatever works best for you. Then imagine surrounding that person with this colorful ball of positive warm emotions.

It seems like a lot of steps on paper, but with a little practice you will be able to do this process in seconds. And as you do it more and more you will be amazed at how people respond positively to you. Using this I can quickly and easily get in rapport with almost anyone I want.

Also know that the exercise above is not rules set in stone, customize it to a way that works best for you. The most important thing is that you set your agenda aside, step in their shoes, and send them positive thoughts.

I know some people will read this post and say this sounds like a bunch of crap.

Well, I can’t prove that psychic influence exists without looking silly, but I can prove that if you do this exercise you will get in rapport with more people, I promise.

For if nothing else, this is a great way to manage your internal state which is the key to persuasion mastery, read more about this in my post The 7 Inner Laws of Persuasion.

Whether psychic influence is real or not, when you are balanced on the inside, filled with compassion, and looking out for a persons best interests, and unattached to the outcome people will pick up on it. You will be able to gain rapport with others so quickly and easily that it certainly will seem like magic.
