If you're interested in learning more about hypnosis, I highly recommend you check out Mike Mandel Hypnosis for Self Hypnosis CDs, or head over to Igor Ledochowski's site for his ultra-powerful conversational hypnosis course. Both are excellent resources. Thanks for visiting!

One of the best covert hypnosis tools you can learn to master is called “embedded commands”.  Quite simply, an embedded command is a sentence fragment that, when stripped out of the sentence, represents its own stand-alone command.  For example “need to scratch your nose” could be the command you want to embed within a sentence.  Or even simpler, you could just embed, “scratch your nose”.

To embed the command, you would simply use a sentence including the command.  You could simply say, “Some people think that it is not polite to scratch your nose in public”.

When embedding a command in covert hypnosis, it is important to make sure that you mark out the command with something unique.  Often people use a different tone of voice, or a slower tempo.  Some people prefer to shift their gaze directly into the other person’s eyes to use direct eye contact as the marker.  Whatever you do, just make sure that it is congruent!

There are just so many great tools in covert hypnosis.  It’s easy to find yourself interested in learning more, isn’t it?
