Most people are completely unaware that it is absolutely, 100% possible to easily and discretely affect and influence the mind of another human, therefore influencing their decisions and behavior, without their being consciously aware that it is happening. This is commonly referred to as covert hypnosis.
The term covert hypnosis sounds really spooky. It sounds like something that is a new age practice or something mystical, however, it is a part of everyday life. It's not a technique of putting someone under a spell, it is a matter of influencing another person's behavior without their being consciously aware that they are being influence, covertly. We do it to ourselves and others every single day in every single interaction that we have with another human being. The reason that we are not aware of this is because it operates on a subconscious level.
Yes, you have a subconscious and conscious mind. Both are the same mind, just operating on two different levels. This isn't something spiritual... it is very basic and applies to everyone.
We live in what I call a 'stimulus response' world. What that simply means, is that we react to and respond to what is around us everyday and much of what we respond to are stimuli that we are completely unaware of.
For example, you may be completely unaware of the sound of the background noise in the room you're in right now, until I bring it to your conscious attention. You may not be aware of the sensation of your clothing until I bring it to your attention. Subconscious stimuli is no mystery... it's simply stimuli that you have become 'used to'.
Stimuli that we become 'used to' can be referred to as subconscious or 'subliminal' stimuli.
Remember Pavlov's dogs? Pavlov rang a bell (stimuli) before giving a dog food. The dog salivated when the food was presented. He did this several times until the dog was 'conditioned' to the 'stimuli' and knew that the ringing of the bell meant that food was about to be ready to eat. Once this was repeated several times, the dog salivated as a response to the ringing of the bell, whether food was present or not.
You probably have a relationship that you are in or have been in, where there was a certain distinct tone that your partner could use, that would immediately put you in a particular mood. Why? It's because that tone is associated with a past experience that involved that mood. Your mind records your memories as sounds, images and emotions. Triggering that memory by a particular sound (word or tone), image (gesture, clothing, anything visual), will trigger the emotion that is associated with it in your mind. This generally happens without our conscious awareness. When something is below our conscious awareness, it is considered below the 'threshold of recognition'.
Numerous studies related to covert hypnosis, subconsciously recognizable stimuli and subliminal conditioning have been conducted by the Department of Defense for years. These studies offer firm and conclusive evidence supporting the fact that covert hypnosis or 'subliminal conditioning' is just as real as the computer screen that you're looking at right now.
Studies on covert hypnosis, or subliminal conditioning, have been conducted by universities. Students volunteered to sit in a room and watch a short film on a projector screen. Each student was hooked up to a polygraph machine to measure physiological response to the film. While watching a short film about a pleasant, neutral matter, a provocative image (sexual) was shown on the screen for a fraction of a second. This single slide was shown so fast that the students were not aware it had been shown when asked if they saw it. They however, demonstrated the same exact physiological response that they experienced when later watched another film that showed the same image long enough for it to be consciously recognized. In summary, they responded to stimuli that was below their level of conscious awareness just as if they had been consciously aware of it. This relates to everyday life when we respond to people either positively or negatively and don't really even consciously understand why.
This is one aspect of what you will learn when you study covert hypnosis. Being able to present a stimulus below the 'threshold of awareness' of another person, and having that stimulus affect or influence their decisions, moods, reactions or emotions.
If you don't think that covert hypnosis is real, it is only because you are skeptical and haven't seen the facts for yourself. It's not something that is openly discussed in our society and certainly is considered to be taboo, therefore people are naturally skeptical.
Covert hypnosis is, however, as real as the background noise in the room. It is at work every single day in our lives and the only way to use it, the only way to take control of how your thoughts create an effect within yourself and your actions, those subtle tones, gestures and breathing patterns you have and how they effect people around you, is to know what they are, how the effect others and what to do with them to influence others.
The only way to take control of these things and covertly effect the decisions and desires of others around you is to educate yourself and increase your level of awareness so that you can effectively use covert hypnosis techniques to change the people around you.
Learning Covert Hypnosis [http://covert-hypnosis.info] will not happen completely overnight. You will become more and more aware of the world around you and you'll quickly be able to control how your own voice tones and gestures are a stimulus that affects others. Either positively or negatively. You are probably like most people that go through life reacting and responding to people, places and things without even knowing why you respond the way you do. Most people are walking through life with blinders on. You can however, unlock and open up a whole new world around you... a world that you can influence if you simply learn and apply that knowledge of covert influence or covert hypnosis. It is a powerful skill... USE IT ETHICALLY.
