It's fascinating how color psychology can influence anyone's actions and behavior. In this article, you'll discover some amazing ways to persuade people and skyrocket your profits using the power of color psychology.

If you want your product to represent power and authority, use black in your graphics and promotions. It is also a color of elegance and class, so this is also an ideal color to use if you're selling high-priced quality materials. However, black may also represent evil or mystery, so be wary when using this color.

White symbolizes innocence and cleanliness. Medical people wear white to signify sterility. White is a neutral color that blends easily with any other color, but it is bland if used more than necessary. Use "white" if you want your products to represent neatness or purity.

Red arouses strong emotions and excitement. It grabs attention, that's why most marketers who know color psychology use red in their headlines. Red is an extreme color that evokes passion, love and bravery. Red stimulates appetite, so it's a good color theme if you have a food or restaurant business. If you want your prospects to feel excited about your product, especially if your product is related to love and romance, use red.

Studies in color psychology indicate that blue is one of the most well-liked colors, especially among men. It symbolizes peace, calmness, relaxation, and security. Despite being a favorite color by many, this color can make you "blue" or gloomy. Blue symbolizes loyalty, so wearing blue attire when going for a job interview or getting clients may actually help. Blue can ruin your appetite; so if you own a restaurant, never paint the walls blue nor serve food in blue plates!

Purple symbolizes luxury, wealth, and elegance. It also represents wisdom and mystery. If you have a product that exudes any of these qualities, purple might be a good color choice for you. The only downside is that purple may be perceived as artificial.

The one thing that there is a lot of controversy about is whether or not a hypnotist can control someone and make them do something against their will. To start off with, you will not do anything that is against your moral code. If you're a mugger and a hypnotist tells you to rob the next person you see then you probably would do - because you'd do it anyway. If, however, you believe that stealing is wrong then you wouldn't rob the person because you'd feel subconsciously uncomfortable about it.

Of course there are ways of making the action seem more reasonable to the person so that it does fit in with their moral code - but it doesn't need a hypnotist to do that. A lot of wars have been fought over thousands of years because people are persuaded that a particular course of action is the right way to behave. People want to believe what makes them feel comfortable, loved or important and if someone helps them to feel like that then they may start to take on other people's beliefs without questioning them.

That may sound scary to some people. It may even put them off coming to see me or any other hypnotist. After all, if I can start to change someone's beliefs then doesn't that make me in control? Not at all. Everyone that comes in to see me is there of their own free will. If they say they have only come along because someone else has been nagging them then I will question them really carefully to make sure that they have some desire to change. I will actively try and discourage them from going through with the session because if they have no real desire to change then we're unlikely to get a significant difference. After all, how often do you willingly do something that you don't want to do just because someone else has told you to?

So, everyone is there because they have chosen to be and they're there because they're not happy with something in their life and want to change it. But, there's also something that's stopping them making that change - otherwise they wouldn't have come to see me in the first place. Now the person is in two minds. "One part of me wants to be a non smoker, lose weight, be more confident, get rid of my phobia... but there's another part that likes smoking, needs to eat and hates exercise, is scared to be confident and terrified that if I get rid of my phobia I'm going to have to get on a plane, be in the same room as a spider or go to the dentist!"

It's my job to make the desired state of mind more desirable, to make it a stronger feeling, something that the person really wants and to help them to leave their old state of mind behind, to make those old feelings weaker and irrelevant. Hypnosis is a great way of doing that because it allows people to make leaps of imagination and get into their subconscious mind that is holding them back. The subconscious is very literal and likes structure. It takes control of repetitive behaviour and creates habits for you - some of them make your life easier, like walking, remembering your way home or how to eat. Unfortunately, it also creates bad habits which, because you've already started doing the behaviour before you're aware of it, can be difficult to break if you're trying to break them consciously.

Often the subconscious hangs on to old, out of date information because you've never experienced any alternative reactions. So, for example, smoking was important when you were a teenager because all your mates did it and it meant you fitted in with them, now it's just a habit that you don't like. Balloons popping unexpectedly at a party when you were a child was frightening so your mind makes sure you don't go near them again because you don't want to be frightened like that again. Because you don't go anywhere near them your only concept of balloons is of that they're frightening. By going into these memories and experiencing them in a different way you can break that habitual response and give your mind a new, more desirable action that you can access in future.

So, rather than the hypnotist taking control, it's now you who are taking back control over the things that annoy you, frighten you, hold you back or make you behave or feel differently to the way you would like to.

Did you know that you can use hypnosis to change your life and achieve your goals? Hypnosis is an amazing mind-body state. Although it's been understood for thousands of years, no one quite knows how or why it works as well as it does, or even what it is.

In this article, we're going to look at how hypnosis, which is essentially just deep relaxation, helps you to success.

Start by creating a goal you'd like to achieve. This goal may be simple: you may want to eliminate a habit like over-eating, or procrastinating. Or your goal may be larger. Perhaps you want to increase your income, eliminate debt, or gain self-confidence.

Although hypnosis is a widely popular method for removing phobias and bad habits, you can also use it to become the person you'd like to be.

Write down your goal.

Hypnosis Reprograms Your Mind

Hypnosis works by reprogramming your mind. The hypnotherapist induces a state of deep relaxation and then makes suggestions to you.

We're all susceptible to the power of suggestion - we receive suggestions all day every day, from advertising, from our friends and colleagues and from ourselves. However, when you're awake and alert, you'll dismiss most of the suggestions you receive. This is just as well, otherwise your life would be unbearable.

In hypnosis, the analytical part of your mind is temporarily in abeyance, so suggestions are accepted by your subconscious mind, and your behavior changes accordingly.

Achieve Any Goal You Set

Hypnosis is a low-stress method of changing your attitude towards your goals, and changing your behavior so that you actually start working towards achieving those goals.

Using hypnosis, you can set goals in any area of your life. You can improve your working life, your social life, your health and your finances.

Learn Self-Hypnosis

The easiest way to use hypnosis to achieve your goals is to learn self-hypnosis. In self-hypnosis, you become your own hypnotherapist. You can create your own inductions (the preliminary stage of hypnosis, during which you relax completely) and your own scripts.

Once you've created a script, you can either repeat it to yourself once you're deeply relaxed, or you can record the script, and can play it to yourself.

When you're learning self-hypnosis it's useful to have one or two sessions with a hypnotherapist, so you know how it feels to be hypnotized. When you first become familiar with hypnosis, it's common to feel that "nothing's happening", until you realize that your behavior has indeed changed.

Three Weeks to Success

Sometimes hypnosis works instantly. You have one session, and get the results you want. However, usually you're want to have multiple sessions. This allows the suggestions to sink deeply into your mind, and your new behaviors to become deeply integrated.

Therefore, when you buy a hypnosis CD or tape, use the program several times a week for at least three weeks. It takes three weeks to change a behavior. You will find that you're changing well before the end of three weeks, but keep listening to the program.

Hypnosis is a powerful tool. If you take the time to learn self-hypnosis, you will have a tool you can use for life, to create the life of your dreams... simply by relaxing, and listening.

Imagine knowing how to send people secret messages which must be obeyed, the ability to persuade and influence people to do anything you desire? No this is not science fiction and it isn't conspiracy theory. This technology is commonly known as "Silent Sound" and was reportedly used during the Persian Gulf War by the United States on Iraqi troops. During the war the Iraq Military Command and Control System was destroyed and Iraqi troops were forced to use commercial radio frequencies. These channels were hijacked by the US Psyops team and vague, confusing and contradictory military orders were broadcast to the Iraqi troops. Captured Iraqi soldiers reported feeling entirely demoralized and overcome with fear and hopelessness as a result of listening to the broadcasts.

Silent sound involves recording spoken commands, filtering and changing their frequency using Frequency Modulation and adjusting them so they are outside of the normal auditory spectrum. Although we can't physically hear what is being said our brain receives and understands every word. These commands can be hidden on audio Cd's and MP3 files, played to you whilst you are browsing websites, sent to you whilst you watch the television or listen to the radio and you are completely unaware of the fact that you are being brainwashed!

This technology does not have to be used in such a negative way however, I used it with great success to overcome a 25 year chronic addiction to alcohol. I never imagined I would be able to beat alcoholism until I discovered Binaural Beats ."Binaural beats are auditory brainstem responses which originate in the superior olivary nucleus of each hemisphere. They result from the interaction of two different auditory impulses, originating in opposite ears, below 1000 Hz and which differ in frequency between one and 30 Hz" (Oster, 1973)

Oster observed that when two sound frequencies are sent to the brain individually via each ear (for example, through stereo headphones), the two hemispheres of the brain work together to create a third phantom signal. This signal is referred to as a "binaural beat" and it pulses at the exact numerical difference between the two tones. For example, if a signal of 200 CPS (Cycles Per Second) is introduced to the left ear and a 210 CPS signal to the right,CPS a binaural beat of 10CPS (or Hertz) is created. Research has shown that first small areas of the brain and, gradually large areas of the brain start to resonate sympathetically with the "phantom" binaural beat. This is due to what is termed as the "Frequency Following Response". Further research has proven that binaural beat frequencies can influence the brain to enter specific brain states. This happens effortlessly as your brain activity aligns itself with the frequency of the binaural beat.

In layman's terms it means you can create tones to create a desired brainwave state. For example, meditation, deep sleep, lucid dreaming, astral projection, creativity increase, stress reduction, relaxation, super learning, intuition etc.

Combine binaural beats with Silent sound and you have an extremely powerful tool which can yield outstanding results. I was a chronic alcoholic for over 25 years and when I stopped drinking I used binaural beats associated with alcohol addiction and added my own positive affirmations which I then encoded with Silent Sound. I would listen to the track for twenty minutes each day and after a week had passed I no longer had a craving for alcohol. I've been off alcohol for 2 years now, have never had a relapse and I can say with confidence that I will never drink again.

There is always alcohol around me and it doesn't bother me at all, that to me provides undeniable proof that this technology works. How many people who have given up drinking can say that they have never had a relapse? I did not need anything apart from binaural beats and Silent Sound, I did not need willpower either, it really was easy! I believe that the semantic connection I had within my brain associated with alcoholism was completely removed, it was as if I had never been addicted in the first place.

I discovered that by combining Silent sound with binaural beats I could easily reprogram my mind in any way I chose. It was possible to increase my motivation and creativity, reach blissful states of meditation and also remove depression and stress. This technology has completely transformed my life. I do not use this technology on other people however, as I believe that to do so would be morally wrong, but its possible applications fascinate me nonetheless.

Imagine if you wanted to influence other people and make them do whatever you wanted them to. All you would need to do would be to create a digital recording of verbal commands, encode them with Silent Sound technology and then play the recordings to your target. It would be easy to implement the commands on a website and to broadcast the commands to an unsuspecting public. You would be able to entice people to buy your products and they would be completely unaware of the fact that you were influencing them.

If you are interested in this technology and would like to learn how to use it ethically then I recommend that you visit binauralsound.com Please ensure that you turn off all sound before visiting the website otherwise you will become a victim of mind control and will be possessed with an insatiable desire to purchase the products you see there. (only kidding!)

Hypnosis is about getting the mind so relaxed that it is more receptive to commands. Hypnosis has been around since 4 B.C and has been extremely controversial subject ever since. In this article, I am going to discuss hypnotic commands you can put in your copy. It's one thing to have an effective sales letter that flows logically, knocks down objection, and ask for the sale. But it's more powerful to interject hypnotic elements that intensify the desire you want your customer to feel.

Putting hypnotic command in your copy can put you head and shoulders above your competition who are clueless about these secret tactics. Now obviously you don't want to put your readers to sleep. Not by a long short. What am talking about is placing hypnotic elements in the copy that makes the writing irresistible which increase the chance customer will act based on what they've read.

Have you ever read a story and felt time pass you by quickly? You're so enthralled in the text that you look at the clock and realize that two hours went by but it seem like two minutes? During that time, someone might have tried to say something to you, but they didn't get your attention because you were entranced in the text. Face it, you were hypnotized. And that's what I want your customers to feel when they read your copy!

A Warning Before You Use Hypnotic Command:

Before you implement these hypnotic secrets into your copy am about to reveal make sure they must be used ethically because the elements are so powerful. If you're selling something that is of worthwhile value to someone, then hypnotic commands can help "edge" the customer towards making a sale. However, if you are relying on these hypnotic command to "fool" the customer into buying a scam product, then you shouldn't be in this business.

Remember, you're not using hypnotic elements to manipulate people. You cannot convince people to do something that they don't have latent desire to do. You're using hypnotic elements to make your copy more persuasive and irresistible.

Hypnotic Stories

People love stories, I'm sure when you were a child, you had your parents read the same children's book over and over again. A good story will keep hold people's attention. That's why you need to have a good story in your copy.

When writing your sales letter, think of how you can tell a captivating story that indirectly shows the customer that what you're selling will solve their problem or fulfill a desire. You'll be able to escape people's "mental radar" and emphasize your selling points without appearing too salesy.

Another important thing you need to remember, always make sure you insert quotes into your story. A line with quotes inserted makes the story come alive. That's why having quotes around a headline increase respond because it gives the reader a sense that the letter is speaking directly out loud to them. These quotes will also attract reader's eyes as they scan down the page.

Hypnotic Embedded Commands

Now I am going to discuss using direct commands that also evade people's mental radars. Take these two example. Which statement get your guard up if you were to read them in a sales letter?

• Read every word of this article

or the following story ...

• As you read every word of this article, you'll discover the secret of Alvin Phang and how you can harness them to make your blog a money maker.

Obviously, if you read the first sentence , you resistance will go up because you feel that the reader did not formed a good rapport with you. In fact, you might feel the author was trying to force you to read.

Whereas if the command was hidden in an innocent sentence, you will feel a friendly tone that the reader was talking to you and your your guard would be down and you'd be more than likely to take action on that command.

In writing, italicizing or putting the command in bold would delineate the command. It makes your prospect see the bold face part as a command, since it is embedded in the context of a friendly sentence, it will slip through someone's mental radar and into their unconscious.

You see, it's all about escaping the left side (the logical, critical side) of the brain. They don't know that they are being given a command. With that you can gain compliance effortlessly, without sounding like you're trying to pressure people.

Embedded command can be inserted anywhere in the copy. I like to embed a call to action command like: "Buy It Now" or "Take Action Today" when I close a letter. These words by themselves would agitate the left side of the brain that will raises skepticism. But in the context of a sentence, it evades the critical side of the brain and commands the prospect without their knowing.

Hypnotic Presupposition

The brain can usually focus on one thing at a time. That means it is literally to presupposed (assume) and accept suggestion as facts. That's why putting presuppositions in your copy is so powerful. Below is an example of a presupposition:

"What will you do with the extra $500, $5000 even $10000 per month you'll earn when you implement Alvin Pahng's Atomic Blogging into Your online business?"

Since you are asking the prospect question, they are forced to answer it in their mind. And in order to answer the question the prospect has to assume they already have the money. Therefore, the sentence does two things:

1. Assume that they have the money thanks to Alvin Phang's Atomic Blogging, thus heightening desire for the product.
2. Makes their mind imagine the benefits they'll get when they're assuming they already have.

The second point is extremely important. By telling a prospect to imagine what their life would be like with the money, you are actually printing a picture in their minds. This is much powerful than giving suggestion as to what they can do with the money.

Every prospect has different needs and desire that can be triggered by a presupposition. You'll be able to tailor your copy based on their individual needs. I hope hypnotic writing is beneficial for you. There is absolutely nothing sneaky about this as long as you're selling a product that is genuinely going to help people.

To learn how to hypnotize free your first reliable source of information is internet. Internet is about with information teaching you how to learn to hypnotize free. If you are serious, it is not very hard to find free hypnosis CDs and tons of information related to hypnosis which definitely includes resources on how to hypnotize free. On the way, you may also be interested to learn more about underground hypnosis. Learning how to hypnotize free may have arisen out of curiosity but as you go you will discover how hypnosis can be employed to make positive changes to your life.

At the outset there are a couple of critical things you must keep in mind when trying to learn how to hypnotize free. The first one is the authenticity of the available free information. Make sure that the information you are downloading is from a reputable source. Make it a point to check whether the hypnotherapist has sufficient clinical experience and hat the instructions are safe to use either on self or someone else. Safer programs are those which place emphasis on how post-hypnotic suggestions can be given to your unconscious mind.

The second important point to note is if you want to learn how to hypnotize free, you should refrain from experimenting with your "knowledge" on someone else, at least initially. Although it is not that persons in trances will not come out of it, you may run the risk of hurting that person by the time you call help.

Although there are quite a few ways to learn how to hypnotize others free, shed the notion that free information can be any specific on how to hypnotize, say, to lose weight for free. In order to gain deep insights, you will need to purchase pre-recorded scripts albeit at a small price. A free hypnosis instructions CD may go as far as letting you know how you can change the state of your mind, things about yourself or discover new things about yourself at best.

A good course on hypnosis, whether free or not, provides insight into how to hypnotize patients and into being open to your suggestions. My suggestion would be to collect deeper information about hypnotic scripts before you get started which pays off in terms of rich returns from the producers' experience.

If you anytime felt as being under trance when speaking to someone with undivided attention, probably you might have hypnotized yourself without realizing it and you have learned how to hypnotize free.

The Mind's Eye. The Inner Eye. If you've heard these two phrases before then most likely you've heard of the Third Eye. It is believed that everyone has three eyes: two are physical (they're plain as the eyes can see); the third eye is spiritual; and when opened either through meditation or third eye hypnosis, you unlock the door to numerous possibilities of looking in to the future.

Chances are you've had a few intuitive moments before in your past: you've thought of a friend you haven't talked with in awhile, and the next day she called. You've thought of an episode from one of your favorite television shows and the following night it was on TV. This is more than a mere coincidence. This is you glimpsing at your psychic self. When you open your third eye, you open yourself up to even more psychic abilities because the eye is the site where we receive psychic impressions.

The Third Eye is associated with the pineal gland in the brain. The pineal gland is dormant in most people. French philosopher Rene Descartes believed the pineal gland to be "the seat of the soul" where mind and body intersect. In most, the pineal gland is dormant. When you meditate or use third eye hypnosis to open the eye, you bring that gland to life. You literally open your eye up to a whole other spiritual world.

Once you've opened your third eye, you may develop certain new abilities: telepathy, telekinesis, clairvoyance. You may see auras, chakras, or spirit beings. You may also experience precognition, which is the ability to see into the future. There's a whole new spiritual world at your fingertips.

So see what the world holds for you (and others); open your third eye through meditation or third eye hypnosis.

Has this ever been you: You're driving to work. You left at a decent time to avoid the early morning traffic (or so you thought), but you're merging onto the interstate and you notice cars lined up as far as the eyes could see. You enter the right line of traffic and noticed cars are at a complete stand still. No one is moving. This can't be. You have a big presentation to make. You have to get to work on time. Your chest begins to tighten because you have this fear that you're not going to make it or you may even get fired. You can't breathe. It feels as if you are having a heart attack. It feels as if your car is closing in around you. You can't breathe. You're going to suffocate. Your chest hurts. If you can relate, you've suffered from a panic attack; and though, many people will have one or two panic attacks in their lifetimes, but if you are one who has attacks frequently, it could mean you have a disorder. There is hope, though, with hypnosis for panic attacks. Your world won't feel like it's ending anymore.

Panic attacks were once dismissed as just stress induced or nerves that were acting up, but they are now looked at as a real medical condition, and without proper treatment, they can take over your life. Panic attacks can make your heart pound and make you feel you are short of breath or dizzy. You may feel nauseous or flushed. Symptoms closely associated with panic attacks include, but are not limited to: accelerated heart rate, sweating, trembling, shortness of breath, hyperventilation, chills, hot flashes, nausea, cramping, chest pain, headache, dizziness, faintness, trouble swallowing, and a sense of impending death. Panic attacks are very serious, and they begin suddenly, without warning. They may peak after 10 minutes or may last an entire hour.

But there is hope when you seek hypnosis for panic attacks as part of your treatment. Through hypnosis, you can change thinking patterns that trigger your fears and attacks. The power of suggestion will help you change how you react to anxious or fearful situations. You will be able to control your fears.

Panic attacks are hard to manage on your own, and may get worse without proper treatment. By undergoing hypnosis for panic attacks you are taking hold of your life one day, and breath, at a time.

The question is often asked- Does hypnosis work? Before that can be determined, hypnosis must be understood. Hypnosis is a practice that takes a person out of their conscious mind and moves them into their subconscious mind. Hypnosis works, "by bringing a subject into a peculiar state of consciousness with reduced peripheral awareness accompanied by strictly focused attention."

The word hypnosis was coined by James Braid and means "nervous sleep." However it must be noted that hypnosis is not really sleep at all. What separates the two are alpha brain waves. These brain waves are very high during hypnosis but are extremely low during sleep. In the same way, a person who is asleep cannot hear, until they begin to awake whereas a person undergoing hypnosis is able to hear very well.

Hypnosis differs from sleep, and it also differs from relaxation and mediation. Meditation has an inner focus whereas hypnosis is geared at the subject focusing on something outside of himself. Hypnosis is a very real practice that is used to help people combat any number of problems including obesity, depression, phobias, and nicotine addiction.

Other problems it has been known to help include stomach disorders, skin conditions, recovery from surgery, childbirth, nausea, impotence and migraine headaches. Delving into the subconscious mind helps peel back the layers to get to the root of many problems. Once that is uncovered, a solution for the problem can then be found.

How does hypnosis work? The subject is awake but is placed into a daydreamlike state and is sitting in a comfortable position. The patient's mind becomes approximately 10 times as concentrated and focused as it would be in a conscious state. At the same time, the body becomes 10 times as calm and relaxed. The two elements need to come together to allow the patient to be in their subconscious mind.

Does hypnosis work? According to the American Psychiatric Association and the American Psychological Association the answer to this is a resounding yes. Both associations have seen a number of cases where hypnosis has helped patients to recover from a number of physical and mental problems. The National Institute of Health points to the fact that pregnant women who have been hypnotized or who have learned to hypnotize themselves have less painful deliveries and tend to be in labor for shorter periods of time than do other women.

Hypnosis is not a formula for success for everyone as some people are believed to be able to be hypnotized easier than others. However for those searching for a way to rid them of a bad habit or get rid of a phobia, it is certainly a safe and reasonable method of treatment to try.

Hypno feminization is becoming more and more popular as men of all sorts use this as a non obtrusive way to connect to the more feminine side even as a temporary measure of self expression and fulfillment. There are a number of excellent sources of feminization hypnosis online (links at the end of the article), but before you decide to undergo self hypno feminization there are a number of things you should consider...

1. Do what you want - Often, people who undergo hypnotic feminisation do so at the request or cajoling of others, a partner or friend. While it is important to keep an open mind, remember that this is a personal decision you need to be sure of. Don't let anyone else make this decision for you. Do this only if you want to.

2. Decide what kind of Feminisation you want - Hypno feminization can take many forms and have a variety of effects, from just mental influences to physical appearance, walk, tone of voice, and posture. You need to decide what you want and so arrange your feminization session. Of course, the effects are as temporary as you wish them to be, but it's best if you figured out what you wanted before hand.

3. Who to tell - Feminizing yourself is a private affair, but you can choose with whom you wish to share this. Just make sure it's people you can trust completely. If you wish to keep this private then do so. It's entirely within your right.

Make sure to enjoy yourself above all.

Pain and Hypnosis go together in many ways it's no longer a mystery to people or even in the Medical field. Long time ago hypnosis was look upon as some mysterious mind control technique now this is nonsense. Hypnosis is a natural state of mind that we experience all of us no matter what age, gender, creed or race.

Advertisement use hypnosis writings, Television commercials, Radio and music uses audio version of hypnosis. No matter where we are hypnosis is all around us.

Pain is in everyone's life one time or another and it's control with medication but, did you ever think of Hypnosis as part of the treatment process. It's not a cure it actually manages the pain to a level you can handle and go on with your everyday life and feel almost normal. Whether it's Fibromylgia. Arthritis, Rheumatism, Cancer, or just a backache hypnosis does wonderful things for the body and the mind.

It's truly up to you and how you attempt in your mind to let it happen, it's easy and it's amazing to see people who are hunched over from pain, people with cancer and even injury or soreness. I see clients weekly that are amazed how quickly and effective Hypnosis is with pain. No drugs just the mind to want to enhance your life and be pain free.

When doing Pain Hypnosis be sure to consult a physician for approval. Also be aware that the pain can be reduce to a state that can be beneficial for you to handle it. Also go to a certified hypnotherapist that deals with this sort of hypnosis. Never let hypnosis try to be the cure or the replacement for the doctor because it's not. It's a method to reduce, enhance and better your lifestyle.

Pain is something that is cause by a situation, an injury or illness, it also can be mental. This is why going to a hypnotherapist that understands you and the pain the results can be wonderful and lead you down the path of a happier well adjusted life being pain free.

Remember you got to want to see and feel results. Don't go because of someone else or because it's what people tell you. Have a open mind and just follow the instructions and you'll see results. Be honest with yourself and the Hypnotherapist and great things can happen your way.

The Power of Chevreul's Hypnotic-Pendulum

History... In the 1800's, tales of spiritualist phenomenon were on the increase. Many of the weird and wonderful characters that are often thought of today as charlatans, were plying their trade in the middle and upper classes of western Europe and America. They frequently demonstrated tables flying around the room with people barely touching them, spirits making contact through pendulums, and ouiji boards revealing insights from the great beyond. Not only were they making a good living from their arts and capturing public attention, they were also producing phenomenon that was catching the attention of the scientific community.

One man who was keeping a keen eye on the paranormal goings on was Michel- Eugene Chevreul, a highly thought of French chemist. Chevreul was a man who believed highly in the laws of science, and whose scientific skills were more than up to the task of making scientific breakthroughs and accurate observations. In fact Chevreul was so highly thought of that on his 100th birthday in 1886 a gold medal was minted for the occasion, which was celebrated as a national event in France. He was honoured with a public funeral and commemorative statue at his death in 1889, at the age of 102. Now as a nationally acclaimed scientist in France, Chevreul was an empassioned enemy of charlatarian phenomonem. He was not only Sceptical, but determined to prove them wrong. He couldn't.

After undertaking many studies into many of the phenomonem, Chevreul found out the many of the phenomenom were real. However the cause of the phenomenom turned out to prove far more interesting than even the spiritualists had been claiming! What Chevreul found was that the movement was caused not by spirits and paranormal phenomenom, but involuntary muscle movements that were outside of the persons conscious awareness. This internally constructed phenomenom became known as ideomotor movements. The person was making the movements themselves but was not aware of it, and neither were others watching. The persons unconscious was taking responsible for the movements.

What does all this mean?

This meant that it was possible to communicate with the unconscious mind. The unconscious mind being the area of the mind that controls everything outside of our awareness, our blood pressure, the release of hormones, the area that regulates our mood, our temperature and many other thousands of processes. However, it also provided an explanation for many of the paranormal phenomenon being branded around by the spiritualists. Automatic handwriting, mind-reading (muscle reading), table turning, dowsing, and the paranormal pendulum! So when people were holding onto a glass on a ouiji board they were claiming spirits were moving the glass, and they had no control of it, whilst the scientific community were arguing that at least one of them was in fact moving the glass, and were defrauding the others. They were both right. As the scientists claimed the subjects were moving the glass, but as the spiritualists claimed they really didn't have any awareness that they were moving it!

So we now have a phenomenon that's not controlled by outside forces, but by internal ones. We have a phenomenon that can demonstrate to others the power of our unconscious mind, to make movements without making movements, to make decisions without having to make decisions. Our unconscious, the area that has far more control over our body's internal processes, the area that has far more information surrounding our lives than just our conscious awareness does, was now communicating with us.

How to use it...

Hold a pendulum in your dominant (writing) hand. And make it fall still so it is hanging straight down. Then without moving your hand just begin to think 'Left....Right...Left....Right' in your mind over and over. Will the pendulum to move left and right, in time with how it should move to the left, and then back to the right. Just hear the words 'Left....Right...Left....Right', in your head, even say them out loud to yourself. Visualize the pendulum moving 'Left....Right...Left....Right', see it in your mind moving 'Left....Right...Left....Right', and without moving your arm feel the momentum of the pendulum moving 'Left....Right...Left....Right' over and over. When the pendulum moves to left in your mind, feel, hear, and see it moving left, as it swings back to the right, feel, hear, and see it moving to the right. But don't consciously move your arm. Focus solely on the pendulum moving, beginning to swing to across a left and right axis in front of you. It may help to be in a place where there is no distractions, and you can focus on nothing but that pendulum there moving.

Once you have mastered this, Then change direction. Stop the pendulum and repeat the process, but this time feel the pendulum moving back and forth, back and forth. Then maybe moving round and round, round and round. Feel how powerful a movement you can get without moving your arm, just by thinking, by willing that pendulum to move. Now if you want to have a more clear signal of the movements you can add a signal board (see below) which will give you a clear guideline of how your pendulum is moving. Just hold the pendulum over the board and will it along the axis.

You now have the perfect tool to help you connect with your unconscious mind, and to help friends connect with theirs. If you want to demonstrate the power of the mind to friends this is it! Just get them to repeat the same process you've gone through.

How to make your own...

- The pendulum: A pendulum consists of a long piece of material that has movement to it, with a weight at the end. This can be a traditional crystal pendant available from alternative health shops. Or, as I use, it can be a necklace or chain that you wear around your neck, with a ring threaded on to create the weight. You can make your own with string and a plumbing washer, or any other method you can think of. I personally like to use my chain as I always have it with me, and can use it anytime, anywhere to provide hypnotic demonstrations to people. You can buy necklaces and pendants to wear that work perfectly as a hypnotic pendulum. There are no real rules for the pendulum, except does it swing? If it does it will probably work. So use things like a small pocket watch, or whistle on a string if that's all you have available.

- The Signal Board: The signal board can be created in many ways, with the different possible answers written on it. Here's an example: Just draw a cross as above (the circle is optional) and choose two opposing suggestions, one written on both ends of the vertical axis, and one written on both ends of the horizontal axis. Above you can see the suggestion for the pendulum to move left and right written on the horizontal axis, and the suggestion to move up and down written on the vertical axis. You can substitute these suggestions with your own, but these are the basic, and arguably most effective suggestions, as they are very clear for your unconscious to provide movements for.

A Stage further...

Now, our unconscious minds are an infinitely powerful resource. Our unconscious minds have access to far more information than we do, which is limited by the span of our attention. Our unconscious mind is also there to protect us. For example when a fly comes near our eye, automatically we blink (automatic movement, ring any bells?) to protect ourselves. We do not consciously think 'Oh there's a fly coming towards our eye, should we move? Or maybe it will miss? Will it matter if does hit us in the eye? Is it definitely a fly? Ok I'll move, but in what direction?'.

If we consciously went through this process we would end up with a fly in the eye! Now because of this many people believe in trusting your intuition or gut instinct. This is really a metaphor for the tendencies we pick up off of our unconscious mind. So you can use the hypnotic pendulum to get more in touch with your unconscious or intuitive decision making capabilities. All you do is this: Hold a question in your mind. For example let's say you're not sure whether to buy a new Harmony CD. You hold the question in your mind... "Should I buy a new Harmony CD....Should I buy a new Harmony CD..." and repeat it over and over, over and over, and wait for your unconscious to give you an answer. In this case 'Yes' or 'no' on the signal board via your pendulum. The question can be anything, just change the answers on your signal board! This will give you an intuitive answer, which won't be burdened with conscious pressures. (Please read the warning below before putting this into practice!).

Warning!

The purpose of the Hypnotic Pendulum at this moment in time is to give you a tool by which you can demonstrate, to yourself and to others, some hypnotic phenomenon. It should not be made to make life altering decisions. Obviously this will be patently obvious to most of you! But feel free to use it to make decisions whereby there is no consequence in the decision. Use it for a bit fun and for training your mind to experience hypnotic phenomenon, which will put you more in touch with your unconscious mind. If you're at a party and want to demonstrate something interesting, pull out your Hypnotic-Pendulum! If you want to train you mind, then use it to make small insignificant decisions about things that really doesn't matter which decision you make. Do not use it to decide whether you should invest in the local snake oil salesman's inflatable dart board business!

Have fun!

Would you believe it's possible to live the life you've always dreamed about if you simply learn hypnosis strategies and use them each and every day?

Well, as far-fetched as it sounds, there are people who have done this and practice the techniques they learned every day with huge success. So who are these people and what do they do for a living?

It's pretty likely you already know some of them. Perhaps that friendly sales clerk who somehow convinced you to buy a higher-ticket item than you originally planned on getting used a few subtle hypnosis tactics. Or the car salesman that helped you see how you could afford the more expensive car without really feeling the pinch.

Good sales people use hypnotic tactics all the time. They have a way about them that gets you to open up to them and allow them to find the right buttons to push to get the results they want from you. But sales professionals aren't the only ones who do this.

Any time you get talked into something you planned not to do, chances are that some hypnosis techniques were used on you without your knowledge. You see, an average person who has learned how to do hypnosis can lead you to do things their way rather than your way. They do this with a technique called conversational hypnosis.

As the name suggests, this type of hypnosis uses conversational strategies to gain a person's trust and and then make suggestions to them. Because you have established rapport in a certain way with someone, they tend to be more open to taking your subtle suggestions and actually acting on them as if the idea were their own.

Those who are skilled at conversational hypnosis know how to get someone to want to do the things on their own and believe they came up with the idea themselves. The results are much more powerful this way than to tell someone to do something. You can avoid someone having a negative or stubborn reaction by using the technique properly.

Of course there are right ways and wrong ways to go about using conversational hypnosis. If fact, with certain mistakes you'll actually alienate people rather than draw them closer to you - which definitely qualifies as a backfire in your plans. The best and most affordable way to learn hypnosis strategies is to grab a copy of an online hypnosis training course and study it over. You'll find that there are some good quality ones available for instant download and learning.

If you are wishing for a girl but you just can't get her then you need to try NLP. If you are simply wishing for more luck with women in general then you need to try NLP too. NLP will help you get the girl of your dreams.

NLP stands for "Neuro-Linguistic Programming". It is all about using principles, techniques, and attitudes in order to promote a behavior or stop a behavior so that people can experience positive changes in their life. NLP has been used for many years and its users have seen great results.

NLP is broken down into the three parts of its name: Neuro, Linguistic, and Programming. You need to bring each of these parts together in order to be able to change yourself and the way people think and feel about you.

Neuro refers to using the brain and, more specifically, the five senses: sight, smell, touch, hearing, and taste. Linguistic refers to using communication - both verbal and non-verbal - in order to bring meaning to feelings and the five senses. Programming refers to using everything in NLP in order to affect real change for ourselves and others.

When you bring all these things together with NLP, you can begin to be the person that women really want - known as the "Alpha Male". The more you practice and get good with NLP the more success you will have with getting the girl of your dreams. And that's the secret of NLP.

You can get the girl of your dreams using NLP. However, you will need to take the time to learn the techniques and then you'll have to practice the techniques until you begin to see positive results. Of course, there is a lot to discover with NLP but you'll be amazed with how well it works. With NLP you will be able to get the girl of your dreams.

Shelia came to see me because she was afraid of flying. She had booked many flights in the past and always ended up canceling at the last minute. She felt by doing this she had let her family down her friends and herself. Despite talking to many people close to her, she was unable to make herself take a trip on a plane.

Peter was a businessman who came to see me some time ago. After gaining promotion, he was required to make regular plane journeys to Europe to attend meetings as part of his job.

Unfortunately he had never been on a plane in his life due to the fear of flying. As a result all family holidays had been in the form of car journeys or ferry journeys. Peter was extremely worried that his fear could cost him his promotion.

Caroline had a fear of needles. Every time she had to visit the doctor, even if it was something unrelated to needles she had a terrible fear that a needle would have to be used. Since she was a teenager she had fainted at the sight of a hypodermic or needle even before an injection had been given to her.

Mrs N. had a terrible fear of spiders. Although she held down a very important job where she was in charge of many people, the mere sight of a spider had her experiencing hot sweats, palpitations and the feeling of great fear.

Melanie visited us because she had a driving test coming up very shortly. Although a competent driver, in a test situation she became so nervous that she made many mistakes, and this had already cost her the failure of two tests, which her driving instructor could not understand.

Mark visited us for treatment for a very common fear - the one of dentists. Although in work and social situations he was an out-going, confident character, even the thought of visiting a dentist made him extremely nervous to the point where he was losing sleep in the days running up to an appointment.

Susan had a fear that any food she ate would be poisonous or do her harm. Unless she had prepared the food herself, she could not bring herself to eat it. This played havoc with her social life as she would not eat in restaurants or cafes, or even eat food prepared by friends or family. David experienced terrible panic attacks when in a crowded public place. He would suffer from palpitations, sweating and a terrible fear and a need to 'get out.' This obviously affected both his work and social life, as he suffered both in shops, busy towns etc, and also in enclosed offices and meeting rooms with other people.

Using NLP and hypnotherapy these issues were quickly and safely remedied.

Many people may recall a scene from Star Wars when one of them looks at one of the guards and is able to make him believe that the wanted people that were there were not the ones he is seeking, that is what is known as conversational hypnosis and wouldn't you love to have it?

Ok, so maybe it is not quite that simple, but the principles of conversational hypnosis show it as a well thought out manipulations and different strategies that will hopefully bring people around to your way of thinking. When the principles of conversational hypnosis were first introduced by the great hypnotist Milton Erickson, he said that these trance like states were really not that rare and that possibly people end up in these "trances" many times during the day. It may be while waiting in traffic or even if deeply into a book they are reading. He also thought that if you were to overtly try to bring about this trance or give the subject any straight out directions and if the person was unwilling it normally leads to resistance. He preferred using his principles of rapport, indirect suggestions and confusion to produce the type of trance that he wanted in order to influence their thoughts.

The principles of conversational hypnosis begins with three stages; the first is developing a rapport with the subject. In other words by agreeing with everything they say you will be ensuring the subject is comfortable with you.

The second stage, while not exactly trickery, is to add a little confusion, nothing alarming or overly drastic, just enough to throw the subject a little off balance. When you do this it puts the person in a more vulnerable state, throwing them off guard. While in this state a person normally wants resolve from being confused and is open to solutions and suggestion to escape the feeling of confusion.

The third stage of the principles of conversational hypnosis has everything to do with timing. While the subject is still in a state of confusion they are also distracted. It is while they are in this state that your window of opportunity is waiting for you to plant your suggestion. Remember that conversational hypnosis is subtle. Conversational and covert hypnosis works, but not on everyone.

Of course as with anything else you are trying to learn and master the principles of conversational hypnosis takes patience and practice. When beginning it is a help if you are somewhat familiar with your subject so that you will know if you are reading them correctly.

Few parts of modern medicine are surrounded by mysticism than hypnosis, but it isn't any mysticism or magic about it. Hypnosis (from Greek "Hypnos" sleep) is a method to put a person in hypnotic state that's is known as a shift in the ordinary state of conciseness. Hypnosis is a tool to create the mind susceptible to suggestions, that make the mind overcome the barriers that hold you back in real life. Hypnosis also make the individual relax. In the prosess tension and the troubles of the day will disappear.

Hypnosis is created through words. Words influence us to a certain point were they can make us angry or sleepy, or they can stimulate the ego sensitivity in us. We can feel "heavy" or lightness, much heat or cold. Sleepiness and relaxation will often happen.

When a person enters hypnosis, certain physical changes will happen. You will notice the breathing become heavier, mild, and rhythmic. Lips and neck will become dry, and you get a needy sensation to swallow.

Arms and legs, the hole body becomes heavier, your head begins to bend down, your eyelashes and eyes will blink more often, while you become drowsy while nearing sleep.

You will concentrate on the voice of the person hypnotising you, and while you enter hypnosis you will not only notice the voice but also the sounds around you, that will seem louder. Many thoughts will pass through your mind and with questions that you elsewhere would not think of when not hypnotised. You will physically feel relaxed, lightness or emptiness, but the most important thing is that even though these thoughts pop into your mind you will not object to the suggestions that come from the hypnotist, because you really don't want to open your eyes or move off the chair at the same time.

Per definition hypnosis is provoked in the body as a overload of senses that clouds our objection processes, and unleash our fight or flight mechanism, that in the end result in hypersuseptibility that gets us access to the inner conciseness.

Hypnotherapy is used to cure addiction to smoking, weight reduction, improvement of confidence and to develop certain skills.
