With the rise in popularity of self hypnosis an increasing amount of people are turning to self hypnosis scripts to make the whole process easier for them.

A self hypnosis script is almost like a guide to entering hypnotic trance and then making the improvements that the person wishes to make. You can find an example of a free self hypnosis script that I personally wrote in my article Creating a Self Hypnosis Trance.

Self hypnosis can be broken down into three sections. The first is the hypnotic induction which allows the subject to enter a hypnotic trance. Next is the deepener which, as the name suggests, deepens the hypnotic trance. Finally the last section is the hypnotic suggestions. When performing self hypnosis you can tailor these to your specific needs. For example you could place suggestions that you want to have more motivation at work, or that you want to take more time to relax with your family. Whatever your needs they can be accomplished with self hypnosis.

In my last article here on NLP Hypnosis Secrets I taught you a few simple exercises to improve your control over the tonality of your voice. I hope you’ve been practicing as we will now be moving onto a set of more advanced tonality exercises. Whether you’re a hypnotist or just someone who wishes to sound more like a leader, these exercises are sure to help you.

Inflection

Controlling your inflection is important because it defines what you say as being either a question, command or statement. A question ends in an upward inflection, a command ends in a downward inflection and a statement is flat.

Try saying the sentence below as a question, then a command and finally as a statement.

“Feel yourself becoming more and more relaxed.”

Keep cycling through each inflection until it becomes instinctive and natural. Know that your choice of inflection has a profound affect on the person you are hypnotizing. Rarely will you be asking questions and most of the time you should be using a commanding inflection.

Emotion

Practicing your tonality is very important for anyone who wishes to become a master hypnotist. Whether you wish to become a clinical hypnotherapist, stage hypnotist or someone who uses covert hypnosis if your voice isn’t pleasant to listen to then people aren’t going to take your suggestions on board. Perfecting your tonality means that that your use of techniques such as embedded commands and pacing becomes all the more effective.

Some people naturally seem to have great control over the tonality of their voice, however most need to perform exercises and practice to get it just right. There are a number of exercises you can perform which is why this article is part one of a two part series. In this part we will look at some of the basic tonality exercises including posture, posture stretches and breathing.

Posture

Your posture has a direct affect on the tonality of your voice. You can hear this for yourself right now. Stand up in a slumped position, head down and say “Hello, my name is ___” out loud. Now remain standing but straighten up your back, stick your chest out and lift your head up. Repeat the same sentence you said earlier. Notice how much more authoritative you sound.

To truly master the seductive arts you need to learn how to use fractional rapport hooks. As you will probably already know rapport is the conversational bond you create with another person. If you have been studying NLP and conversational hypnosis you should already be able to build rapport pretty easily. What you are able to do with fractional rapport hooks is better hide the fact you are using “secret” and “covert” and also get a person really wanting your attention.

How is this done? Well the idea of fractional rapport is to offer your target your complete attention for a short period of time and hook them in with an incomplete story or piece of information. Then you take all of this away. This leaves the person you were talking to wanting more and craving your attention again.

Most people know a guy who’s a bit of a jerk with women, constantly playing hot and cold, yet they are consistently surrounded by them. At first it makes no sense to you but without knowing it (in most cases) they are using fractional rapport hooks. You too can experience great success with this method, and you don’t have to be a jerk about it…unless you want to be.
