Copyright (c) 2010 Nick Clipton Covert hypnosis is the technique used where an individual carefully and surely gets through the psychological barriers of another and tap their subconscious. The purpose? To manipulate them into thinking and doing things that they would not normally do. Some of the covert hypnosis techniques are used as marketing strategies, political ideals, or simply to make others do what is being suggested. The secret to a successful technique is to study the individual that they are trying to manipulate, because it is really manipulation, not so much as pure hypnosis. Why? Because hypnosis means that the subject is to willingly subject themselves to the suggestions. In covert, the subject is not aware of what is going on and is fed carefully chosen stimuli to be manipulated into doing or thinking something. However, despite all the seminars on covert hypnosis, all the money spent to learn the techniques, how come there are just some who cannot be successful? The answer? Quite a few, but it all boils down to the personality of the hypnotist. A good hypnotist is subtle, charismatic, has to possess a voice that is 'hypnotic,' a voice that does not irritate, and an aesthetic attractiveness not necessarily beautiful or handsome, although that helps a keen intelligence and knows the language. All these characteristics will fall into place if use properly, however, there is still one characteristic that must be observed, and it cannot be learned: a relaxed personality. If the personality of the hypnotist is very stern and strong, the initial reaction of the subject would be fear and rejection, elements that will make the hypnosis fail. Techniques can be learned, the rest is innate. Take for example a marketing strategist with the full certificate of covert hypnotism in hand, and that strategist does not know how to write or speak eloquently. The whole thing can be tossed out the window and money wasted. The best examples are those speech writers for politicians, or those best selling novelists who can sell a simple story by the millions if not billions. They can use simple words and open the imagination. Best example? "Don't leave home without it" advertising campaign for a credit card. "Harry Potter" series, "Twilight Series," and best of all, the speech writer of Obama, "Change." Those are just some of the simple examples of success stories, but when boiled down to the bottom, there is no obvious manipulation and yet the imagination is stimulation and triggered reactions. That is the essence of covert hypnosis.
