Discover Exactly How Hypnosis Masters Create Hypnotic

Realities In Others With Their Magnetic Personal Power.
Session 1: The Body Of Personal Power
Personal Power is one of the neglected KEYS to powerful hypnotic interactions. Discover how to
become the kind of hypnotist that naturally and easily instils in others confidence and belief in
your abilities!
A useful side-effect is that your own Charisma or Personal Magnetism will increase also!
Personal Power Allows You To:
1. Be More Charismatic
2. Create Hypnotic Realities Internally, Which You Then Project Out Onto Others.
3. Influence Others Through The Power Of Your Personal Reality Without Overtly Doing
Anything!
What Is A Reality?
As the name implies, its the sum total of what we believe and expect from the world around us
and our place/abilities within it.
Consensual reality is created when people unconsciously ping out to their environment to
check that their perception of reality is accurate, i.e., still the accepted truth. When they get a
positive ping back, all is well. But when they dont, their reality eventually starts to unravel
itself. This phenomenon lies at the heart of culture shock.
What Causes A Weak Grasp Of Reality?
1. People Abdicating Responsibility To A Group (or Leader): i.e., the Herd Instinct
2. Lack Of Focus: if youre not sure what you believe, you dont know what youll believe!
3. Lack Of Conviction: this is partially caused by a lack of clarity/focus in thinking, but also
is due to lack of Personal Power. The less personal power you have, the more readily
youll allow your reality to collapse and align with the reality of someone with more
Personal Power.
4. Lack Of Knowledge: most people take things for granted without knowing what it is they
think they know. A physicist will be much harder to persuade that a machine works as a
quantum device unless your reasons are intellectually sound to her.
5. Ego Based Realities Are Prone To Crashes Unless Constantly Supported (see below)

Automatic Defence Mechanisms

The unconscious mind protects each person from ideas s/he is not ready to handle. If you push
too hard on someones reality you may trigger one of these defence mechanisms. Clumsy and
inept persuaders often do this when they pay attention more to the persuasion technique than
the purpose and spirit of that technique!
Here are some of the most common triggers/responses:
1. Them v. Us Thinking: any information that comes from Them is suspect, immediately
resisted and not to be believed on principle. In fact, if They say black it tends to
reaffirm white as being truth!
2. Evasion: this mechanism triggers ANY response that will deflect the focus off the main
issue/question to at hand. Anger, crying, exuberance, missing-the-point-completely
thinking, and taking the conversation over these are all examples of this defence
mechanism.
3. Autopilot Triggers: to save time we all learn that in certain situations we simply switch
off and stop processing new information. When you get too many sales call in the
evenings, you soon learn to recognize a salesman from the slightly unnatural sound of
their voice and switch off (or hang up!). The same is true for many who see a beggar on
the streets or a Chugger (a charity mugger people who use aggressive conversation
tactics to shame people into contributing).
What Is Personal Power?
Personal Power is a kind of Externally Oriented Interpersonal Trance which allows you to
Powerfully Project An Inner Reality Through Your Unconscious Sub-communications.
The 3 Keys To Building Personal Power

Thoughts these create the your reality

Feelings these empower the your reality
Behaviours these project (i.e. sub-communicate) your reality

Each of these three keys reinforces the other two in an infinitely reversible chain! Think of a
triangle where each corner adds power to the other two corners....

Personal Power Exercises

Jedi Force Powers: pretend that you have Jedi mind powers and can lift an object with your
mind if only you concentrate hard enough. This warms up your mental muscle to go from
sluggish/passive to a more active/engaged and focused mode.
Eye Contact: maintain a (friendly!!) eye contact with people in normal conversations long past
the point where you feel the impulse to look away for a brief moment. Time yourself on how
long you can focus your gaze without flinching i.e., your gaze does not waver from their eye
(pick one or the other). Often people will break contact (or defocus which is another form of
flinching) for a split second. Remember that you can still have an expressive face dont go into
Zombie mode!
Pause as the name implies, when someone talks to you, stay focused and keep eye contact
AND every time you answer them, wait for a mental count of 1-1000, 2-1000, 3-1000 or
longer before you say anything or make any kind non-verbal response. The secret is to not give
ANY response (no flinching, coughing, swaying from foot to foot, fidgeting) for a few seconds
and see what happens!

Session 2: The Mind Of Personal Power

When you stop supporting peoples realities (by becoming non-reactive), they often collapse
their reality. You will witness them get increasingly nervous and send out more pings in an
effort to get back to normal.
How To Create Your Own Reality
1. What Do You Want: if you dont know what your reality is, nobody else will!
2. Get Very Clear: remember that mental clarity will help you maintain your own reality.
3. Focus On Your Vision: once you have an inner vision hold on to it with your attention.
In time youll just assume it to be true (see Session 3) but for now, use your focus to
determine your reality!
How To Project Your Reality
1. States Are The Key To Projection: they drive your sub-communications!
2. GO FIRST: all realities have a feel to them, a set of states associated with them. You
must inhabit those states yourself. GO FIRST!
3. Feel It: yes, I am repeating step 2 its important! Intensify the state, believe in the reality
yourself. Put aside doubts. Make it real for you!
4. Do It: now just go into the situation and do your normal thing (remember to still be
socially responsible no dark cape wearing hypnotists with mad glaring eyes please!!)
Your unconscious will take care of sub-communicating the feeling that you should still
have drifting in the background of your mind.
What Are Reality Tests?
From time to time youll get a clash of realities. Someone doesnt want to let go of their own
version or theyre afraid to enter your reality (perhaps they tried it but they were too weak to
maintain it and now want avoid the pain of it collapsing in on them again).
People will test your reality by: joking about it (usually the kind of jokes with a barb attached),
asking irrelevant questions or making distracting comments (theyre trying to evade the issue),
confronting you, e.g. with aggressive behaviours (this one is more common amongst children
but less so among adults) and by attempting to reframe the situation to their liking.
Each of these tests needs to be handled well, or youll end up in their reality!
How To Pass Reality Tests
The KEY is dont react! Dont get flustered; dont let your emotions fluctuate. Stay calm, focused
and in control.
Do not engage is a logical debate. There are some few occasions where logic is the key to
persuasion. But they are rare in todays world. You will lose the argument by winning the debate
because the battle is fought in state not in reason!

Tactics you can use include:

Do a reality test on their reality test (e.g. tease them back!)

Repetition without deviation state your case without ever introducing new elements or
changes.
Inoculate use the Street Hypnosis Reality Set (see below) to prevent tests in the first
place!
Out-Frame the test set a frame at the beginning that will make it hard for a test to occur
later.

Session 3: The Spirit Of Personal Power

So far weve been focusing on doing. The Spiritual dimension of Personal Power takes you
from the realm of doing into the realm of being.
Remember: your most powerful source of Personal Power is YOU! Its not about doing more
things to get more of it, its about STOPPING the things that inhibit its natural flow in you!
Ego v. Self Esteem
Were all born with self-esteem. There is no such thing as a shy baby it just expects (and of
course needs!) to be loved, taken care of, served etc. A baby never doubts himself or his sense
of value he cannot even conceive of doing so.
Then life happens: children get hurt, disappointed, ignored, yelled at, talked down to so many
things happen that shake us from that natural foundation.
Of course at the time we were too young to have the knowledge or resources to deal with the
problem, so we come up with a plan B stories that we tell ourselves about why were still
worthwhile. This is what we call the Ego (this has little to do with Freuds conception).
So some children have the story that theyre smart: they do well at school because they crave
the love and attention they think this gets them. They have forgotten that they can be loved for
just who they are. Others do it by being funny, show offs, rebellious walk into any school and
youll see these stories being formed and reinforced.
These stories are NOT us. They are not even true. Ironically, it is these stories that keep us from
our personal power.
The Ego is a dissociated entity it is an intellectual construct that is not plugged into our true
nature. As such, all energy spent on the story is like blowing hard on a piece of paper to keep it
floating. When your breath runs out it comes crashing down.
The Ego feeds off other peoples responses. If they pay attention to you, it feels good. If they
ignore (or criticize) you, the Ego panics its happy little world is now threatened and it will do
whatever it can to get back to the status quo. Even if that means sabotaging positive changes!
The Ego creates a strange pseudo-confidence that only functions in very tightly managed
circumstances (if at all!). Outside of that we tend to lose confidence (like when we try and learn
something new and feel afraid of failing).
One reason for this fear is cognitive dissonance we have a mental image of how we want to
be perceived, which we try to project to the outside world. This is the flawless perfect person
most of us think we should be. But inside, we dont feel like that. So we have an internal battle
or clash between who we try to make others think we are and what we think we really are. The
larger that gap, the more psychic pain we feel in trying to perform.
A performer is either constantly rehearsing to stay in the zone or she risks getting performance
anxiety when she starts up again. Contrast this with an enthusiast that just loves what she does

and doesnt care how good it is. She cannot get performance anxiety as she has nothing to prove
(but only enjoys)! Often her rate of progress (measured by time spent on a task) is also faster.
The Ego constantly demands external acceptance to keep it afloat. If you withhold this
acceptance (as in the exercise in Session 1), it starts to get desperate and will eventually crash.
This is the source of much of peoples bi-polar experience in life: great highs followed by
periods of lows.
Power v. Force: The Question Of Ego In Hypnosis
The desire to be one up or be better than someone else in some way is an Ego driven desire.
Someone with true Self Esteem simply does not care if others are better or worse than him,
because his sense of value and importance does not come from being compared to others (i.e.,
external reinforcers).
Many people are drawn to hypnosis because they think it will give them power over others.
Unfortunately they initially miss the point: true power comes from inside it is about being able
to move through the world unhindered. Like a candle that shines in a storm just as brightly
without any fear of ever going out.
Power is the ability to be in command of the self at any moment so that no matter what the
external circumstances are you have complete access to all your internal resources so you can
make the maximum positive impact that is possible for you at that time.
So power is independent of external forces. When people seek power over others they use
Force, not true Power!
Force ends up doing as much harm to the operator as to the subject because it reinforces the
ego boom-bust cycle. In fact, the more Force Power you have the more erratic these cycles
become (i.e., higher highs and lower lows).
You see this in people that get thrust into power positions by fate: e.g., new rock or film stars,
business gurus, politicians. If they have not been prepared for their sudden rise to power (e.g.,
through many years of hard work to understand the illusion of what they end up with) they go
through an intense period. Sometimes they come out with true inner power. Sometimes they
come out more neurotic than ever before addicted to sex, drugs, alcohol or other problem
behaviours.
Another important distinction between Power & Force is that people tend to resist being forced.
However, they are naturally inclined to surrender to Power.
Ego Protection Mechanisms

Ego has a story to maintain (known as Saving Face)

It will manipulate others to their detriment to save face
It tries to create fear in you to prevent you from doing something where you might lose
face i.e., where your story might get exposed as a lie (e.g. Performance Anxiety)
It tends to blame others for mistakes or try to rationalize failures
It is external to the self, so constantly needs to be reinforced merely to exist!

Ego Based Realities Are Weak

They need external support (validation, acceptance, admiration etc) or they crumble.
They prevent you from making the mistakes you need to in order to learn. Your learning
increases with the amount of things youre willing to do wrong!
It is more important to save face (i.e., preserve the story) than it is to get results. This is
the source of much of the destructive Corporate Politics that can be witnessed.
It gives your true power away you need others to validate, accept and admire you
instead of finding everything you need inside yourself!

How to Kill The Ego

Know Your Self

Your Identity Who Are You?
Your Values What Is Important To You?
Your Expectations How Should The World Treat You?

Deliberately Challenge The Story have objectives that are not tied up with looking
good. E.g., when playing tennis, dont play to win, but see if you can make the ball spin
one way or another.
This is about feeling the fear and doing it anyway. It is about putting movement back into
those parts of life that have become paralyzed by the Egos attempts at maintaining its
story.
Remember: What You Resist, Persists! So just accept it and get on with life anyway.
We all tend to be addicted to certain ways of being. Well unconsciously manufacturer
situations or excuses to feel angry, sad, frustrated, helpless etc. If you discover that youre
getting upset once again, dont take it too seriously. Its just your body detoxing from
years of bad habits!

Let Go Of The Outcome this does NOT mean dont have any goals! Simply dont rely
on your goals for your sense of value. Goals are about directions not about points.

How To Use Personal Power In Hypnosis

1. Have a purpose (a vision you actually value) and follow it fiercely.
2. Remember who you are. A Failure ! You Are A Failure (btw ! is a mathematical
symbol that denotes does not mean or more accurately does not equal)
3. Replace need to prove hypnosis works with curious how hypnosis will work this
time
4. STOP THINKING get out of your head and into life!
5. Remember that Now Is The Moment Of Power this is the only moment you can
change. Not yesterday or tomorrow. So be here now with all your attention!
6. Maintain Your State!
