If you'd like a fantastic way to slip some ideas into somebody's mind and cause them to take action in just the way you want, then you've come to the right place. This is a trick from conversational hypnosis and neurolinguistic programming that is very powerful, because it is based on a seemingly automatic process in human thinking. It's fairly easy to learn and start using in daily conversation. It's centered around the concept of cause and effect. Many neurologists and evolutionary biologists believe that the human mind is set up to quickly make cause and effect relationships between non related events in the outside world. Many experiments bear this out. Many believe that it was advantageous to primitive man living in a hostile environment. For example, if you were out collecting fruit, and you ran across a tiger, it would help considerably if your brain automatically remembered the surround area, the tiger's habitat, to mean danger. That way if you ever say those same things, you would automatically associate them with danger, and they would cause you to feel anxious and alert, and would help you to survive. If you had to consciously think and remember what plants and smells meant "tiger," you wouldn't live very long. This can be very useful in persuasion. When you speak in cause-effect language, it makes more message much more acceptable to your listener, as our brains seem hard wired to take information in when it is presented in this particular format. The basic structure of this conversational strategy is to take something that is already true, either something they are doing, or something that they have done, and link it to something that you'd like them to do or think in a cause-effect relationship. The simplest way to say something in a cause-effect relationship is to basically just say that X causes Y. For example, you might say, "You sitting in that chair causes you to become curious and thoughtful." That doesn't sound very good conversationally, however, so it helps to soften it up a little bit. Words or phrases like "leads to," "allows," "and then," all imply a cause effect relationship. For example: You reading this article can allow you to think of the many ways that you can use this in your daily conversations for fantastic results. And when you think about that, that can allow you to become really curious about all of my other articles on this topic and how they can help you in all areas of your life.
