Podcasts about hypnothoughts live

Marina Kostina, a renowned hypnotist from Chicago, discusses how she was broken into 52 pieces after a sky-diving accident and how different therapies helped her to build herself back again. Marina and Adam discuss their workshops at HypnoThoughts Live, which can be seen on the links below: https://2025.htlive.net/hips-dont-lie Summary of Marina's workshop: As you know our body keeps the score, and there are always “issues in the tissues” underneath any traumatic event. Whether you are a seasoned hypnotherapist, a beginning healing practitioner, or a regular person who wants to learn how to regulate their nervous system and heal physical and mental issues- this workshop is for you. You will learn my signature HEAL Method©. It is based on the blend of various mind-body practices I learned through the years in order to unleash blocked energy in the system responsible for mental and physical dysfunction, imbalance, and illness, while releasing lifelong blocks that shift all aspects of emotional wellbeing. By the end of the training you will: 1. Have an in-depth understanding of the connection between physical disease and emotional blocks in the system using body maps. 2. Realize how trauma changes the brain and affects nervous system and the body. 3. Know how to release blocks, find and heal the root emotional issues underlying mental and physical health challenges. 4. Gain tools on how to work with “difficult clients” who are dissociated from or overwhelmed with their pain. 5. Gain somatic techniques to regulate nervous system and learn self-regulation tools 6. Shift your own (and your clients') destructive patterns and self-sabotaging behaviors in the most ecological way. 7. Become true mind-body detectives by learning how to read your clients using profiling techniques, micro-expressions tools, kinesthetic testing, and spinal energy gateways 8. Get ready-to-use somatic and hypnotic healing scripts, client cheat sheets, recorded audios, and templates. 9. Have hands-on, practical activities which will help you gain clarity and confidence as a somatic practitioner (I will not be a talking head/ lecture type of guide for you!). 10. Learn emotional release and reset body points. We will get loud as this will be an interactive, fun, engaging (and at times dancing) workshop! At the end of this training you will walk out as confident Certified Somatic Trauma-Informed Mind-Body Practitioners and receive CEU credits.

Adam re-records a hypnosis session inspired by the movie Fight Club after the author of the book Fight Club, Chuck Palahniuk thanked Adam for making a hypnosis session inspired by his book while Adam was at the HypnoThoughts Live conference in Vegas. Adam uses the same structure of the session he created 3 years ago but with a better-quality microphone and music. This has dark themes that are featured in the movie and isn't your typical relaxing hypnosis session.  Coming Soon - The Hypnotists's Secret Circle: Adam will soon be launching a new low-cost membership to access his entire hypnosis archive without the intro, outro, and explanation and an exclusive community only for members.

We discuss how he used questionnaires and surveys to gather critique and feedback from his audience to improve his presentations and give the audience what they want. We discuss why assuming you know what your audience wants instead of asking what they need is a critical mistake and why asking for honest feedback is often the best form of feedback for improving your public speaking skills. We discuss how the rate of technology adoption will impact our desire for human connection, how the pandemic impacted the public speaking industry, and how the public speaking industry is now roaring back to life two years after the pandemic has ended.

I'm deep in dreaming about the future.... I'm migrating my online pain science program to a new platform. I'm going to be filling my brain wiht incredible hypnosis training this month embodying change work on topics like shame, trauma, nervous system repair, self concept and psychedelic states, and maybe even some weird stuff like past life regression and accessing relaxing trance states. Who knows what will happening after attending Hypnothoughts Live. But I know that I haven't been very focused here. So my apologies. Even if I'm not on here creating a podcast, I am working with clients helping them create powerful embodied shifts in their wellbeing and I thought I'd just share a little bit of that with you today. If you are curious about mindbody coaching and how we can use the mind and somatics to create less pain and more of the life you want to live, I would love to talk to you.

 What's the fastest way to grow your hypnosis business? Despite what many ‘marketing guru's' may claim, it's not through Direct Response Marketing strategies. It's not through building your email list. It's not through growing your Facebook page or your YouTube subscriber base. It's through online challenges. Today, I explain how online challenges have become the fastest driver for growing my own hypnosis business. I share five reasons why online challenges work and discuss how they use the same ‘one to many' approach of other, more traditional methods like YouTube videos, blog posts, and podcasts, but can achieve better results even faster. I explain why Direct Response marketing strategies no longer work and why positioning yourself as an expert in your field is a more effective way to attract new clients. I explain how online challenges helps you clear away your audiences objections, making them feel more comfortable to hire you. I also explain how they help you build your credibility and become recognized in your niche as the expert in what you do while also getting paid to promote your business. Join me at HypnoThoughts LIVE 2023 in Las Vegas, July 21-23.

Today, Dr. Snyder invites you to his Hypnothoughts Live 2018. He will be sharing techniques and insights about personal transformation, face reading, hypnosis, and many more! Stay tuned! Standout Quotes: Pain is a signal that we're doing something that's not good or potentially not good for us. I believe that residual pain is analogous to what we would consider phantom limb pain. It's the protective mechanism of the unconscious mind setting up a safety net that keeps you from doing experiencing pain again. The thing that puts us in the greatest degree of discomfort is the thing we should charge. It's that degree of discomfort that we experience that creates the change in our self-esteem that allows us to deserve it. Key Takeaways:      The only way that your system has to communicate with you is kinesthetics. If we don't understand how to interpret kinesthetics, we're going to be looking outside of us because we don't understand what's going on inside of us. We run into anything that makes the feeling of pain stop. People like to barter. If they have a lot of money, then they don't have a lot of discomfort in giving it. But it is important to make sure that that that scale is balanced. Usually, the easiest way to do that is through monetary means because most people don't want to part with their money.

Misha Tuesday is the founder of Hypno-Energize where he aims to bridge the gap between scientific and spiritual methods of self-improvement. His transformational coaching sessions draw from his training in hypnosis and NLP as well as his work and exploration of Western and Eastern metaphysical traditions. He is also the creator of ActiveTarot, a unique method of Tarot readings that incorporates his Whole Brain approach to turn fortune-telling into a future-creating exercise. As a life-long enthusiast of all things mystical, magical, and metaphysical, Misha was initiated into Shamanism at the age of 18, studied hypnosis with Mike Mandel, and has repeatedly presented on the world's largest hypnosis conference stage, HypnoThoughts Live.Misha joins me today to share what he believes are the key differences between magic and mentalism. We discuss his passion for bridging the gap between scientific and spiritual methods of self-improvement and why he believes scientific methods and theories are not the only answer to certain questions or situation. We discuss how he blends hypnosis strategies with Tarot readings and why he believes it's important to establish an ‘opening ceremony' at Tarot readings. We discuss the relationship between building rapport with your clients and the quality of change produced in your hypnosis sessions.

Dan came to Hypnosis as a sufferer of chronic pain. In 1978 he was partially paralyzed as the result of a motorcycle wreck. The major injury sustained is referred to as a Brachial Plexus Avulsion, which in his case causes a burning, crushing sensation throughout his arm and hand, in addition to the paralysis. For five years Daniel was unable to sleep as we generally understand sleep. He then learned hypnosis and within a week began sleeping more regularly. Since that time he has devoted himself to developing techniques and approaches for the relief of chronic conditions. While still a “Chronic Sufferer” Dan has learned to shift the discomfort and participate fully in life. Join Dan and learn to assist your clients to excel. Many of his articles and hypnosis scripts have been published in the journals of national Hypnosis organizations, books and magazines.

Some hypnosis professionals believe that the subconscious mind can't process negative suggestion. Often, they believe it so vehemently, it's as if that concept is an absolute, undisputable fact. And the reason these professionals believe this concept is simply because that's what their previous instructors have told them. But let's take a moment to challenge this concept. What would happen if more practitioners actually used some of the same language that their clients are using during their hypnosis session? Join us at our next certification course LIVE and ONLINE at: https://worksmarthypnosislive.com/ Don't miss your opportunity to learn from two leading hypnosis professionals - Jason Linett and Richard Nongard. Learn step-by-step how to create lasting transformation through professional hypnosis, how to attract self-paying, self-motivated clients, and how to conduct successful hypnosis sessions. Visit https://vegashypnosistraining.com/ to grab your ticket and join us for this LIVE in-person training on July 25-28, 2022 at HypnoThoughts LIVE 2022. Today, I discuss the concept of using negative suggestions during your hypnosis sessions and how you can use them to achieve positive results for your clients. I share a hypnosis formula you can use to satisfy your client's conscious mind while also giving instructions to their subconscious. I explain why it's important to use the same language your clients use on your website, how it impacts your ability to attract your ideal clients, and how you can help your clients distance and disassociate themselves from the problem they want to solve. I also share examples of when I used negative suggestions with my clients to help them achieve positive change and explain how screening your techniques with your clients can be beneficial. “These are the words your clients are using. And because THEY know what it means, it means you can use it as well.” - Attribution Understanding demonstrational hypnosis How to satisfy your client's consious mind while giving instructions to the subconscious mind Why I believe many hypnotists try too hard to achieve ‘clean language' in their sessions Understanding keywords and SEO and why it's important to use the language your clients are using in your online content Why it's okay to use the same language that your clients use during a hypnosis session Allowing your client to conduct direct suggestion hypnosis on themselves Satisfying the conscious mind while imprinting new emotional states on top of their old issue Addressing negative suggestions from your clients based on their client intake form How I used negative suggestions to help two clients achieve positive change The benefits of screening your techniques with your clients - before the session begins Resources Mentioned: HypnoThoughts LIVE in Las Vegas Work Smart Hypnosis LIVE Session #60 - Melissa Tiers on Better Strategies Session #202 - Melissa Tiers on Integrative Hypnosis Updated Session #254 - Melissa Tiers shares 3 Anti-Anxiety Techniques Hypnotic Workers Six-Steps to a Six-Figure Hypnosis Business Join our next online certification course… wherever you are in the world! https://WorkSmartHypnosisLIVE.com/ Get an all-access pass to Jason's digital library to help you grow your hypnosis business: https://www.hypnoticbusinesssystems.com/ Get instant access to Jason Linett's entire hypnotherapeutic training library: https://www.hypnoticworkers.com/ If you enjoyed today's episode, please send us your valuable feedback! https://www.worksmarthypnosis.com/itunes https://www.facebook.com/worksmarthypnosis/ Join the new WORK SMART HYPNOSIS COMMUNITY on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/groups/worksmarthypnosis/ Want to work with Jason?

Today, I share an update to THE ALL-POSITIVE PRETALK. I reveal the concepts behind the hypnotic pretalk and highlight why it is essential to talk about what is going to happen instead of what is not going to happen. I share why each statement is included in the process and describe the intention of each phrase. I also reveal how to add truisms, satisfy objections, and build rapport with your client. Visit the WORK SMART HYPNOSIS show notes to get the transcript of this session! Setting the stage for a successful client experience is essential, and it is during the pretalk that this should happen. If you find yourself working against your client's goals or feel that you are not as effective as you could be, then your pretalk may need to be reviewed and revised. If your pretalk has negative elements, then these should be changed into positive statements to ensure your clients achieve their desired goals. “If there is ever a negative, distance and dissociate, frame the process as being effective.” - Jason Linett The all-positive pretalk script. Why you should define your ideal client for yourself. Why you should avoid negative suggestions that are not your intended result. Why the intake process needs to be efficient and direct. Beginning the pretalk process with truisms. Satisfying objections before they arrive. Building rapport within the process. Pre-framing your strategies in the pretalk.

Kryssa also explores whether clients need to know the why, when, and how to initiate change during Regress-to-Cause sessions. “The client already has everything within them to heal themselves, and I'm just the facilitator helping them communicate with the part that has this knowledge.” - Kryssa Marie Bowman How Kryssa found successful change with a single session of hypnosis after 600 unsuccessful psychotherapy sessions The benefits of continued training throughout your hypnosis career Working from the approach of being the facilitator and recognizing the power to heal themselves is inside every client A metaphorical explanation of the subconscious and the highest consciousness Using Regress-to-Cause to reframe experiences and help clients bring away the resources and tools to integrate into their present life Using regression to positive experiences to initiate change Resources Mentioned: Podcast: Session #128 – HypnoThoughts Live 2017 Keynote Podcast: Session #333 – Regress to Success Connect with Kryssa Marie Bowman: Website: Kryssa Marie Bowman Website: Chrysalis Counseling Group: Eliminate Self-Limiting Beliefs Group: Hypnotherapy Uncensored Kryssa Marie Bowman on LinkedIn Kryssa Marie Bowman on Instagram Chrysalis Counseling on Facebook Join our next online certification course… wherever you are in the world! https://WorkSmartHypnosisLIVE.com/ Get an all-access pass to Jason's digital library to help you grow your hypnosis business: https://www.hypnoticbusinesssystems.com/ Get instant access to Jason Linett's entire hypnotherapeutic training library: https://www.hypnoticworkers.com/ If you enjoyed today's episode, please send us your valuable feedback! https://www.worksmarthypnosis.com/itunes https://www.facebook.com/worksmarthypnosis/ Join the new WORK SMART HYPNOSIS COMMUNITY on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/groups/worksmarthypnosis/ Want to work with Jason?

I almost always begin my hypnosis sessions with the Dave Elman induction. Not just because it works, but because it teaches the client and myself to always think in a process-oriented approach. This methodology sets the framework of: now we have done step one, we can move on to step two, and so on. This is a 100% successful approach because embedded inside the training of this technique is troubleshooting, which allows you to make modifications to pass that test and move on to the next step and get into the work. Cheryl Elman is the President and Certified Master Trainer at the Dave Elman Hypnosis Institute. She is an international speaker and teaches instructors the latest in Rapid Induction Methods and Certifications. She began her career as a high school instructor, spending thirty years in this role and fourteen years as the Vice President, Manager, and Trainer of two New York City companies.

How do you follow-up with your stop smoking clients? Many hypnotists fall prey to the game of assumption - assuming that if they follow-up with their clients, it will sow the seeds of doubt in your services and reduce their confidence in your skills. But following up is a critical step on achieving your client’s desired results. After all - it’s always a great idea to check your work. So, how do you follow-up with your clients without sowing the seeds of doubt or breaking their trust and confidence in the services you offer? Check out the LIVE training to build your passive income empire, happening at HypnoThoughts LIVE in Las Vegas this Summer: https://www.hypnoticproducts.com/htlive2021 Today, I share how to follow-up with your stop smoking clients for better results. I reveal how you can do a follow-up in a high-impact way and create stronger results, if not further reinforce the result. I demonstrate how collecting oddly specific stories will help you metaphorically shine the spotlight of change in a rather unique place. I explain how you can use this technique beyond helping your stop smoking clients. I also share why I love suggesting fascination and curiosity and how you can take successful methods and frame them in a better way to make them even more effective. “When you satisfy the concern in advance, you have now inoculated a future problem.” - Jason Linett The number one rule for influential communication and how to hit the emotional components of decisions to motivate change How to satisfy objections before they arise and motivate towards a change or the next step Helping clients identify their character of change Collecting feedback and ultra-specific stories and leveraging them in your sales consultation or during the appointment to set the context for oddly specific change Why it is easier to get someone to stop something than start something and how to achieve the latter and wrap-up your hypnosis sessions How to modify this approach for you and client issues outside of stop smoking Taking methods that work and framing them in a better way to make them more effective Resources Mentioned: http://worksmarthypnosis.com/320/ ecamm The Hypnotic Language Hacks Podcast Session #9 – Waking Hypnosis for Stop Smoking Clients Bigger Leaner Stronger by Michael Matthews The Art of Hypnosis by Roy Hunter Join our next online certification course… wherever you are in the world! https://WorkSmartHypnosisLIVE.com/ Get an all-access pass to Jason’s digital library to help you grow your hypnosis business: https://www.hypnoticbusinesssystems.com/ Get instant access to Jason Linett’s entire hypnotherapeutic training library: https://www.hypnoticworkers.com/ If you enjoyed today’s episode, please send us your valuable feedback! https://www.worksmarthypnosis.com/itunes https://www.facebook.com/worksmarthypnosis/ Join the new WORK SMART HYPNOSIS COMMUNITY on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/groups/worksmarthypnosis/ Want to work with Jason?

Adam creates his first hypnosis session inspired by the lyrics of a song - How to Save a Life by The Fray while also infusing a powerful metaphor created by the hypnotist Mike Mandel used in his keynote speech at Hypnothoughts Live in 2019.  Adam heard the song, originally released in 2005, recently and the lyrics struck him as being melancholic and filled with regret but also with a positive intention to help. He researched that the writer and lead singer wrote the song after attempting to help a teenage drug addict.  This session is designed to help those who are in the profession of helping others - people that often deal with regret and guilt for those they were unable to help.

Shelley Stockwell-Nicholas, founder of the International Hypnosis Federation, joins Dr. Bunny at HypnoThoughts Live 2020 in Las Vegas, Nevada, to discuss attention, intention, hypnosis, and so much more! Due to Covid-19, HypnoThoughts Live was a bit different this year, but both Dr. Bunny and Shelley enjoyed it immensely. Shelley tells us why she feels like she's with her best friends when she's at HypnoThoughts Live. Shelley also shares her tips on how to wade thru all the data that is being pushed at us right now.  She says we need to not only pay attention, we also need to have intention.  Shelley explains exactly what that means, and how to get a handle on your thoughts. Join us for an informative, uplifting, and fun interview! About the International Hypnosis Federation: Since 1994, the IHF has promoted acceptance of the diverse inter-discipline use of hypnosis with a broad range of applications. We are unique among organizations because our members and those interested in self-improvement and mind mastery often choose additionally specialty recognition and join our various related hypnosis divisions: integrative and stand-alone medical and dental work, mindfulness, neuro-linguistics (NLP}, coaching, guided imagery, motivation, conflict resolution, art therapy, spiritual counseling, entertainment and research. We offer referrals, professional certification training, workshops, conferences and networking opportunities for practitioners and the public. We encourage interaction with other disciplines, clinicians and researchers who use hypnosis in their work. WHY EXPERIENCE HYPNOSIS? Your professional hypnotist evokes a natural mind state where you easily take on beneficial suggestions and ideas and do away with limiting or hurtful attitudes and behaviors. With hypnosis and self-hypnosis, you're motivated to achieve worthwhile results, make contact with your wisest self and tap your full potentials and talents. Researchers prove again and again that hypnosis benefits people mentally, emotionally, energetically, physically and neurologically.

To select a qualified hypnosis practitioner take heed: A professional hypnotist, hypnotherapist, hypno-coach, hypno-counselor and wellness provider has training and experience in hypnosis to help you achieve your specific goals and interests. Just because someone is licensed or credentialed in another discipline (I.e. medicine, therapy, dentistry, psychology, mindfulness, social work, or nursing) does not mean they have studied hypnosis or are capable of using it as an adjunct to their other work. Only a small percentage of licensed helpers take time to be certified in hypnosis Hypnosis, Hypnotherapy, Hypno-Counseling and Hypnosis-Coaching are stand-alone certified professions. Professional Hypnotists generally have hundreds of hours of training in hypnosis. To reduce confusion ask yourself, “Does this practitioner have the expertise in hypnosis to help me reach my goals?” And “Is there a sense of rapport with them?” Members of the International Hypnosis Federation adhere to a fine code of ethics (available for your review at www.hypnosisfederation.com) and regulations of their places of practice. If you have further questions regarding whom to consult for your well-being, feel free to call IHF at 310 541-4844.

He is an expert in Neuro-Linguistic Programming and hypnosis training through NLP Comprehensive. Duff is a sought-after speaker and trainer, appearing at events such as the ICBCH Winter Hypnosis Conference, American Clinical Hypnotist Examiners, and HypnoThoughts Live.   “There are very effective ways to become more resilient and transform our stress response when it’s not useful.” - Duff McDuffee   Duff's first experiences of putting the body to sleep with self-hypnosis The Philosophy of Mind and why we have cognition How Duff's Rapid Centering Technique transforms feelings and positively reuses this energy When to use 'why' questions and 'how' questions with your clients Preparing for the reaction to stress and how to address it Duff's approach to setting up a client session Effective ways to become more resilient to stress The complete Rapid Centering Technique Duff's upcoming talk on the programming aspect of NLP How to become more resilient to your stress     The “Rapid Centering Technique” Transcript:   Start with a feeling in the body. Well, actually, you start with a scenario. So, let's say someone feels anxious in a social situation. So they say, "Great, think about that social situation and step back into it and see what you see, hear what you hear and feel that you feel when you're back there now. So, what feeling do you feel?" And they'll say, "Oh, anxiety." Or whatever the feeling is. "And where do you feel that feeling in your body?" And you shut up and you let them answer and they say, you know, "In my chest and throat." "Okay, great. And how big is it? How far does it extend in the chest and throat? Is it, you know, like a narrow tube or does it take up your whole chest?" And they tell you and then you say, "And what color is it?" You know, from up until then you've been asking sort of things that seem like they're kinesthetic. But actually, when you look back, all those things could have been visual as well. The location, the size, the shape and so on. The color, the color is absolutely visual. So, some people would be like, "Huh, what do you mean color?" "If it had a color, what would it be?" That sort of classic question. And they tell you.   Then you do a very simple visualization. "Imagine in front of you is a full-length mirror. You can see yourself in that mirror, you can see your hair, color of hair, your face, you can see your shirt, the color of your shirt and if you look down towards your belly button, below your belly button about two inches, and inside your body, at the very center of your body, you can see a tiny little dot like the size of a grain of sand, no bigger than a grain of sand in fact. And you can also see that let's say red, circular shape in your chest over there in the mirror representing the anxiety. Now, in a moment on the count of three, what I want you to do is imagine in and see in the mirror that red, circular shape shrinking and getting smaller and smaller and smaller and smaller and smaller until it fits inside that tiny little dot in the center of your body over there as if there's a powerful magnet or a black hole sucking it up. On the count of three, one, two, and three. See it happening in the mirror now. All of that energy shrinking down smaller and smaller and smaller and smaller until it's sucked into that tiny little dot in the center of your being and is absorbed within it now."   And then you wait to see their face to see if they're processing or if it's happened, and you say, "Great, now that it's all in your belly because it's in your belly, you can digest fully all that energy, eliminating any of it that you no longer need. Sending it back and fully digesting the rest, just like you digest carbohydrates into glucose, digest fats into lipids. You break down proteins into amino acids. You can break down that energy into pure energy and allow it to circulate throughout your body wherever it's needed. Trusting the wisdom of your unconscious mind to do that in the right time, in the right place."   Resources Mentioned:   ICBCH & HPTI Winter Hypnosis Convention Kelley T.

Today, I share an update to THE ALL-POSITIVE PRETALK. I reveal the concepts behind the hypnotic pretalk and highlight why it is essential to talk about what is going to happen instead of what is not going to happen. I share why each statement is included in the process and describe the intention of each phrase. I also reveal how to add truisms, satisfy objections, and build rapport with your client. Visit the WORK SMART HYPNOSIS show notes to get the transcript of this session!   Setting the stage for a successful client experience is essential, and it is during the pretalk that this should happen. If you find yourself working against your client’s goals or feel that you are not as effective as you could be, then your pretalk may need to be reviewed and revised. If your pretalk has negative elements, then these should be changed into positive statements to ensure your clients achieve their desired goals.     “If there is ever a negative, distance and dissociate, frame the process as being effective.” - Jason Linett     The all-positive pretalk script. Why you should define your ideal client for yourself. Why you should avoid negative suggestions that are not your intended result. Why the intake process needs to be efficient and direct. Beginning the pretalk process with truisms. Satisfying objections before they arrive. Building rapport within the process. Pre-framing your strategies in the pretalk.       Resources Mentioned:   Session #1 – The All-Positive Pretalk https://worksmarthypnosislive.com/ https://virginiahypnosis.com/   Join me on August 20 & 21 at HypnoThoughts Live 2019 for Neurolinguistic Business!

Today, I share my story of the recent office move of Virginia Hypnosis. I reveal why it was critical for me to move my office space and share insight into the decision that many businesses owners have to make; whether to buy or rent an office space. I explain the advantages of buying versus renting.

Perhaps you are moving your hypnosis business into a dedicated office for the first time, or maybe you are looking to scale your business. You might want to add extra practitioners and your existing office doesn’t have space for it. Or maybe you want to move into a more affluent area. No matter the reason, moving your hypnosis office is a big decision - and one that needs careful consideration.      “You have a lot more haggling room when doing office space searches than, perhaps, you give yourself credit for.” - Jason Linett     Why I decided to move the Virginia Hypnosis office. How the numbers helped decide whether to move to a bigger office. The question of renting or buying an office. Finding a mortgage or loan as a solo entrepreneur. How financing can include construction and working capital. The experience of using a temporary Regus office space.

Persuasion is a vital tool and technique for any hypnotic business. Without it, it is much harder to motivate a buying decision. Without rapport, credibility, and authority it is unlikely that you will reach the threshold where a prospective buyer of your services becomes convinced that you hypnosis business is the right fit to help them make the changes that they seeking. The psychological principals of persuasion can be applied the wrong way, so these principals need to be understood when applying them to your hypnosis business.   Today, I share the six persuasion principals for hypnotic businesses, crediting the work of Dr. Robert Cialidini. I reveal how each principal plays a role in building credibility with the goal of persuading people to become a client. I also share how I have applied these principals to my business, how to successfully use the concept of scarcity and how to build your authority and reputation in the hypnotic space.     “Scarcity - do not fake it, do not lie about it because the moment you get found out you start to lose credibility and that is not good for business.” - Jason Linett       The proper way to utilize the concept of reciprocity in your hypnotic business. How to build value in a reciprocity strategy for success. Using ‘tell’ versus ‘show’ to bring business through the door. How I use the concept of reciprocity at Virginia Hypnosis. How to build anticipation and persuade people through genuine scarcity. How to use the authority that you have and the things that you can do to build more credible authority. Why it is crucial to build your authority and reputation through consistency. How the principle of ‘liking’ plays a role in persuasion and how to pre-frame and pivot to a sales offer. The three criteria that gives you permission to sell. How to build a credible consensus that your business is the place to achieve meaningful change.     The 6 Persuasion Principles for Hypnotic Businesses:   Reciprocity Scarcity Authority Consistency Liking Consensus     Resources Mentioned:   PERSUASION by Dr. Robert Cialdini Quit Smoking in One Session         Use hypnotic strategies and language patterns to become more influential in your sales, promotions, and getting more hypnosis clients.

Here are the show notes from this episode: This is all about thinking folks! Alone, in small groups or huge gatherings… Everyone needs to think well, and we’ll show you how… It’s Spring today! Hurrah! Melissa Tiers is coming to Toronto soon! Come to Toronto and join us in the class. And while you’re at it, take the MINDSCAPING training with Mike… May Architecture of Hypnosis is SOLD-OUT! You can still come to the June class if you book soon. Come to HypnoThoughts Live 2018 in Las Vegas in August, and meet Chris and I and study with us live… Check out our Wellness Academy and change your life. It’s the stuff we do, and the way we live! MINDSCAPING intersperses with other therapies, or you can use it alone… Chris is managing ego states and just rockin’ through 2018…managing time with his daughters Axolotl and Barbarella… Mike’s word Onward will enable him to write his Magnum Opus…His eating has changed too, as has gene expression! The Word of the Day is CHALLENGE We are moving away from the Krysse and Jeff Show to a new business model… Mike does a horrible cough and forgets to say “We’ll edit it out”… Mike will be a Senior Citizen on April 29th! That’s really old… Is thinking just asking and answering questions? Don’t substitute the kinesthetic sense for thinking! It seldom works! The moron who invested based on his good feelings… It’s okay to notice if something feels right…but it must be based on sound analysis too… Watch out for the scam artists! They’re out there…and facts don’t care about your feelings… Am I substituting feelings for thinking? Ask yourself… Investigative thinking sorts through the known and finds the relevant. Exploratory thinking searches the unknown… Investigative thinking shows up in inverted V formations in the writing. Analytical thinking shows up as deep V formations that touch the baseline. It shows up in Ms and Ns… Analysis discards what is not needed, because more information will not always help…You must sort and discard! Keen comprehension is sharp points in the writing; often when Ms and Ns look like Us…This is quick mindedness… Cumulative thinking is slower, building block thinking. It is tied to creativity too… Mike jumps in with a hilariously brilliant joke about drinking poison and a real estate agent! Elon Musk gets it right, folks! Intuition is a thinking skill. It’s not psychic, but the answer is…6 of clubs! It’s making drawing conscious conclusions based on unconscious clues. As the right questions! It’s part of the Socratic Method! The Large X explanation. The upper V is success. The lower inverted V is failure. They’re both exponential! Chris says that everything that is growth oriented in any direction is exponential. He’s right! Everything you do to improve your life will have an exponential effect! This podcast is the proof it works…Loochie! 10% improvements are awesome, even though Chris Ken Sweatmans it a bit… It is crucial to increase your schema. Add new stuff! Always. Everyday. Be a Renaissance Man or Polymath Woman! Turn off the damn television and fill your brains with something useful. Edward de Bono’s book: Six Thinking Hats is awesome! The Blue hat is the sky. The organiser’s hat. Processes, control, the agenda, the summary, etc. The Green Hat is growth, life, creativity, new ideas. Great ideas can come from stupid ideas – like Post-it Notes! The Black Hat is organised negativity. What can screw up? What’s wrong with the plan? Don’t wear the Black Hat when you’re being creative! Wear it at the end when implementing the plan. The Yellow Hat is the sun! It’s optimism, fun, positives and benefits. The White Hat is pure data. Information, no emotion at all, facts and figures and stats, Google Analytics, etc. The Red Hat is emotions. It justifies any emotions, good and bad. Gut sense, anger, fear, etc. It switches us to the kinesthetic system! The key is flexibility. Learn to switch between them all! Just by wearing imaginary hats, you can direct the thinking of yourself, or a group. Buy Six Thinking Hats by Edward de Bono. It’s a great book! All his books are great, come to think of it! Empowering Question:  What is my strongest thinking style, and how will I make better use of it today? What is my strongest thinking style, and how will I apply it today, to have a better life tomorrow? Empowering Metaphor: The nine men and women and the jigsaw puzzles Ending: The Anthem of The Bag Men of Edward the Confessor (When Drumming Comes and Juju) Please leave a rating in iTunes, and send us your questions for future episodes!  You can either email them as text or record them using your phone’s voice recorder and email us the audio file!

Here are the show notes from this episode Mike has repositioned himself as the Scarecrow of Hypnosis! Even Chris doesn’t pretend to understand why. Today is all about Energetic Therapy! You’ll learn how to free yourself and others from pain and negative emotions, often in seconds! Hypnothoughts Live 2018 is on its way! Make sure you check it out and come and study with Mike and Chris, and make a ton of awesome new hypnotic friends! Mike and Chris will be teaching MINDSCAPING, so whether you’re a coach, social worker, therapist, psychologist, whatever…come to Las Vegas and get certified in this amazing protocol! Mike first studied Meridian Based Psychotherapy with Swiss psychologist Willem Lammers. Mike’s grief was cured in front of the class, and you can apply these same techniques on your own psychological pain. It’s awesome to be set free in seconds! Get rid of your emotional pain, whether it’s fear, anger, sadness or trauma, and report back as to how well it worked for you! Does this really work by discharging electromagnetic disturbance in the brain? Mike and Chris aren’t sure exactly what happens, but it works, dammit! The great thing about these tapping therapies is: They only remove negative stuff. People who use this report that they can think of traumatic stuff or elicit old phobias with no bad kinesthetic at all. The bad feelings are stripped from the visual and auditory recall. Roger Callahan to Gary Craig, to Tapas Fleming and Larry Nims, and Robert Smith to Mike Mandel and Chris Thompson! You don’t have to believe in these algorithms to make it work. You can just start tapping on these points while you think of your problem, and clear all sorts of bad emotions – usually forever! Tapping the forehead hits the bladder meridian. That’s what the old-school hypnotists were doing without knowing what they were doing, when they were doing it. Larry Nims stopped tapping. He just imagined tapping, and got the same results. Give it a shot once you’ve activated the spots by tapping them, and see what happens. Mike still likes Be Set Free Fast, but now uses faster methods. Here are the points from Mike’s 6 Step Tapping Method:  Center of the top of the head, forehead, outer corner of the eye, under the eye, under edge of the collarbone, squeeze or tap the inside of the wrist.  Make sure you’re saying a word that keeps you focused on your problem as you tap. If you have anxiety start tapping on the very top of your head about 50 times, several times per day and notice how you feel. (At this point, Chris corrects Mike and makes him feel like a dick on a worldwide podcast to millions of people. Well…thousands of people.) This stuff is so effective, Mike taught his method to a trainer in Minnesota and the trainer cured a fear of heights in another trainer in a few minutes! How can you apply this in your own life? You have nothing to lose by going after your own emotional pain. Make sure you check the SUDs -The subjective units of distress so you can tell that it’s going away. Make sure you’re bringing that vaded ego state to the executive by feeling the bad emotions. Always tap with all of your fingers, so you’ll be sure to hit that sucker! You can use either side of the body. Go after all the roots of the problem. Keep on tapping until it’s zero. Mike explains that this is your First Aid Toolkit and you can start using it right away. Use it on all negative emotions, anytime, anywhere. Use this to help your kids too! You’ve got the history and the system we use, so start using it! We’ll even send you a cheat sheet if you want it! Commercial Break:   The Shyzzjigg Corporation Use the back of the hand point to put yourself into an awesome empowered state. Make sure you’re saying positive affirmations, as though you mean them. It only takes about 30 seconds to install a powerful ego state! If you want to feel awesome, check with your doctor and then tap the spot on the back of your hand between the fourth and fifth metacarpals, while saying those affirmations. The rest is automatic! I feel AWESOME! All my resources are online! I am energized and ready for anything! True science follows the evidence wherever it leads. Tap those points and notice how you feel… Make sure you do the proper 6 points when you eliminate bad emotions. If you make up your own points, they just won’t work. Is this somehow defractionating people and bringing them out of trance? Maybe…maybe not…but it works! Mike references his nasty fall. He used homeopathy to recover and thinks it’s working on the same energetic system as the tapping. He invokes Dr Andrew Lockie, an ObGyn from Scotland. Empowering Question: What negative emotions will I focus on zeroing completely, and as  I review those negative emotions, such as fear, anger, sadness and trauma, which ones will I clear today, and how amazing will my life be when that happens? Empowering Metaphor: The standing ovation and the radiator!

Here are the show notes for this episode: Mike has arrived from Bob Lake, because he cares about you! Hypnothoughts Live is nearly here! It’s the best hypnosis conference on Earth. Mike wants to talk about …but Chris interjects that his attention span is next to zero. (No kidding! He didn’t let Mike finish what he was saying!) Television used to be black and white with slow scenes and character development. It’s all about focus, folks! Does acetaminophen really reduce empathy? Apparently, if you take it, you just don’t care! Mike keeps trying, but somehow, just can’t seem to care! Microexpressions are not being judged accurately and we are saying goodbye to the power of mirror neurons. If we stop caring about each other…what kind of therapists will we be? Chris used to read 1,000 word articles, but something’s gone horribly wrong. Even Mike’s not immune (gasp!) It takes a couple of days for Mike’s brain to slow down. Switching on and off like a crazy monkey! It’s like a drug, and Chris is onto something… Mike studied neuroscience and gives the example of coffee and the brain beginning to expect it. It’s the same with stimulation from images. Chris talks about mental fasting, which is really clever. Beware of word whiskers! English is extremely precise. Use it like a tool…you know? The filler phrase attack! Nice one Chris!!! Mike coughs like a lunatic from the tickle created by laughing. Like? The one that drives Mike insane, although “I mean…” is even worse. So anyway…   Anyway has a legitimate purpose as a recentering phrase. Please don’t say “Yada Yada Yada” or yeah…no…yeah…now… You know what? We have to stop talking about this. Let’s put an end to word whiskers! Awareness is the first step! It’s okay to pause! Chris’ Dad is doing a horrible throat sound whisker. Mike brilliantly invokes Gus Grissom. He goes on to explain the elderly woman’s horrible musical sound whisper: “Uh…hmm…mmm…” Mike is actually beginning to annoy himself! Hypnosis is an enhancing of focus. What a great definition! Focus created a throbbing thumb… The Reticular Activating System again! You can tune it. Mike used the RAS to find The Peterkin Papers again… The Engineer speaks! The brain is tuned by wanting the book and presenting it to conscious awareness. Mike and Chris are NLP people. The Magic Number 7  +/-  2 By putting stuff in your environment to remind you of your focus, it helps bring it into being. LTP is long-term potentiation…leading to permanency through Hebb’s Law. Mike bought a camera and camera advertisements appeared everywhere… MTV in the 1980s with Video Killed the Radio Star by the Buggles led to lack of attention! Lack of growth in a cancer is good! Mike talks about being at effect rather than being at cause. The 4 Love Languages Reprise… We all need things in the foreground to habituate connexions… You can use focus to help relationships too! “Uh…hmm…mmm” Mike admits to a rare relational error and actually apologized. When we ask you an empowering question it enables you to step outside the situation with a new focus… When things go wrong, someone’s lost track of the target state! Refocus, people! What would you like to have happen? (Thanks David Grove) Mike’s Word of the Year is back to Alacrity! Flow did not work for Mike. It made him way too laid back. Mike hits Chris in the solar plexus, purely for his own amusement. Mike says that Chris’ word Strength “will kick in at some point”, which is hilarious! Empowering Question: In what area of your life is focus lacking, and what will happen when you re-engage it today? Empowering Metaphor: The missing memories… Mike’s Introduction to Ericksonian Hypnosis 2 day class at Hypnothoughts Live is SOLD OUT!!!

Here are the show notes for this episode: Mike begins the show by admitting that he likes LOUD! And why not? He was into Black Sabbath way back in 1970! “If it’s too loud, you’re just too damn old!” Mike saw a plastic flying saucer being lifted by heavy equipment… Our student Florian has taken the hypnotic storm to Africa…The picture of the bell is proof! Check out Caveman Lodge in Zanzibar! You can see the bell… Whenever he gets fired, Chris just rehires himself. Self-directed neuroplasticity coming up… Las Vegas is looming…Come to Hypnothoughts Live 2017. Mike’s session is filling up… Mike suspects Chris has had a stroke, but it’s only a demi-stroke. The Ryan Intervention discussed…Created by our Enneagram One friend… Don’t lend other people’s stuff! He unwinds by doing woodworking, and his wife’s on his case. He offers drugs, alcoholism, massage parlours, as alternative ways to unwind. It works, because it’s really reframey! She saw it as an annoyance and a waste of time, but he shows the benefit. Books are on the way, and they’re awesome! Bo Bennett writes great stuff. 300 logical fallacies explained for you! Reductio ad Hitlerum is real! WTF??? Mike’s been doing this for years! By making someone seem to have something in common with Hitler, they automatically lose the argument! Underwires? Undergirds? Mike self-corrects to “undermines”! 12 years ago Mike accused Chris of being like Hitler because he’s left-handed! Can the brain process negatives? We’re really discussing the unconscious and it’s inability to handle negatives without deletion. Don’t PANIC!!! Make it easy for a stressed-out mind, by framing things in the positive. Tell people what to do, not what not to do… Even the unconscious mind is a model… Chris mentions autopsies now, which is weird, but Mike reigns him in… Beware the Straw Man! Conscious / Unconscious is only a model, but it’s a useful one! Walk the plank easily…unless it’s between two 50 storey buildings! Focus on crossing safely! If you focus on not falling…you probably will… The unconscious protects the physical body so it has somewhere to live! The intention might be protective, but ineffective… Mike alone on Huyckes Island…in the night…in the dark…Imagination on steroids. The 4 Stages of Competence! Bring in the emotions that will motivate! ADAC – Associate, Dissociate, Associate, Collapse! Commercial Break: The Shyzzjig Corporation ADAC Continued…Associate into the problem…Dissociate from the problem…Stop!…Associate into a Powerful State (shopping for weapons)…Collapse them together! Point at that sucker, just like Milton Erickson! Repeat as needed…You are literally rewiring your brain, folks! Do it with a Pattern Interrupt too! Whoa! This stuff really comes out! Karl Smith and the backwards phone number! (I don’t even care!) Forests get paths from use. The brain’s the same! It’s sort of like the old NLP Swish Pattern, only better! Empowering Question: What obsessive or compulsive thoughts will I erase from my mind? Empowering Metaphor: The camping trip… Mike and Chris will be taking the Hypnotic Storm to Las Vegas again in August! Come hang out with us and Storm Riders from around the world at the Orleans Hotel, and while you’re there, take our 2 day Introduction to Ericksonian Hypnosis. Details arehere.

Here are the show notes for this episode: Yep! We made it to number 81! The most victorious podcast ever… If you’re going on a picnic, there’s going to be ants in your sandwiches…but no ants in your casters, thanks to the Shyzjigg Corporation! Mike is almost a knight! But no history lesson here… Mike’s a cook…not a chef, but he loves knives. Triggers! What are they and what the heck do they do to us? A bacon discussion ensues…Let’s call people “Bacon”! Chris’ daughters Staphysagria and Vorolaya will love this! Call people bacon, unless they’re Jewish. Keep it kosher with chicken bacon if necessary! As our friend Jason Linett says “We help people.” We discuss the hilarious “hide the phone” prank Mike played on Chris last week (The funny thing is, Mike did it again at lunch after this podcast was recorded!) Chris is clearly puzzled and amazed, but Mike lets him run with it. Chris actually calls Mike “you bastard” which is horrible in a family rated podcast. Such filth. The waitress stole the phone, but she doesn’t know about it consciously. Mike is clearly really proud of this, and rightly so. It’s hypnotic magic, boys and girls! The Zeigarnik Effect in action! Timing is everything…make sure the 7 +/- 2 chunks are occupied. What’s coming up? Karl Smith in Toronto on April 29 and 30 to teach the Kinetic Shift! It’s going to be awesome… Architecture of Hypnosis still has a few spots for May and June 2017. Chris says “cheaper” way too many times and it sounds strange. HypnoThoughts Live 2017 is just a few months away. Come and study and hang with us in the epicenter of culture, Las Vegas! Mike’s teaching the Essentials of Ericksonian Hypnosis for 2 days. The boyz are also going to the UK in the Fall. It’s going to be awesome! What sets you off? Words get coded in your brain emotionally, so watch out, wimp-boy! Mike combats Chris’ earlier obsession with the word “cheaper” by hitting the lazy button about 10 times. You have to access the kinesthetic system to get to emotions. Triggers happen during sports events too. Mike goes on a Ricky Henderson tirade that continues to infuriate him. Are these bad states Ego States? Chris gives a great response! Mike doesn’t teach British Jiu Jitsu in his Egyptian Mau or Bengal cat playing state. (Good thing too…) State of mind, or sub-personality. Ask Gordon Emmerson… The Executive Ego State is YOU…(at least at that moment…) Some people trigger us on purpose. This can be dangerous… Withheld information!? Oh no! Back to the Zeigarnik Effect… “This is serious!” Don’t make me kill you!!!!! Chris’ daughters (Texephone and Clemnestrata) won’t let him leave a loop open. Notice when the triggers have fired. Where did they originate? Chris says he grew up in Montreal and Mike adds that he “killed a couple of kids with an axe!” Chris actually personified his skis and physically attacked them for being stupid. Mike invokes John Cleese in Faulty Towers. Chris says “EElogical” which Mike jumps on at record pace. Trauma is a memory distortion. The past intrudes into the present. Mike invokes Edwin Twitmyer and the knee jerk reaction. Chris admits he used to trigger his daughters, Samothrace and Yseult, by not tickling them. Mike reports Chris to Children’s Aid. The evil tickling torture of Gerry Childs! We are not our emotions! Practice QTiP (Quit taking it personally!) Associated vs Dissociated Mike admits he used to look like Dumbo. Chris teaches the Power of SO… Commercial Break: You’re Still Just Danny! Empowering Question: What triggers set me off on a regular basis, and what am I going to do to stop being reactive? Metaphor: The Power of Food to Annoy… Architecture of Hypnosis is approaching sold-out status for May 2017. Get in now, or wait until June…Then there’s only November left…(Update, the June dates are now officially set as June 12-16 Ending: Mike begins a brilliant round of Free-Style Chanting, and Chris joins in with great gusto and power.

Welcome to Episode 80 of Brain Software with Mike Mandel and Chris Thompson! The Power of the Cataleptic Colonic Cyclone grows ever more evacuative, and you’re in its path… Check out the show notes below and scroll down to listen to the podcast directly on this page. Keep sending us topic suggestions and show feedback. We love hearing from all of you! Here are the show notes for this episode: Yo wassup? You found us, but despite what we said last podcast, there’s no booze here… 5 Stars and we’re still going strong… You can send an email to info@mikemandelhypnosis.com and let us know your questions! Preferably record them as an audio file so we can include them in a future episode. It’s Mail Bag day! (Ouch) Karl Smith’s coming to the Hypnotic World Epicenter! We’re hosting him and taking the class too. An advertisement for HypnoThoughts Live 2017! It’s going to be amazing, especially when we win the Orleans Casino Bowling Tournament with the Dream Team we’ve purchased! Mike was just at Wagner’s opera, Gotterdammerung! It really hits the unconscious mind. The words are the conscious mind and the music is the unconscious…really cool stuff. Chris is not an opera fan……..yet. Culture is what makes us human and gives us depth. Mike refuses to do the Guinea Pig Laugh. Did a young Leonard Cohen hypnotize his maid to do the naughty? Mike and Chris think it’s unlikely. Erickson was a meticulous researcher and the greatest hypnotist in history…bar none! Remember that television (including Derren Brown) is not reality. You never see the whole story… Chris fixates on the French Maid story, and clearly has issues here. Pykthos is invoked again! Can hypnosis help learn a language more quickly? Yes! And there’s lots of ways to do it. Chris talks about entering the zone. Mike answers in flawless German. Let’s call an ego state to the executive! It works, folks! Chris continues for awhile but Mike wisely breaks into the explanation and seizes control, teaching how to tap the Triple Warmer and get the right ego state in the executive. Chris takes control of the show an references MINDSCAPING. Mike responds in perfect French. Chris mentions learning and Mike answers in excellent Russian. Mike pretends that Chris has written in. Hilarious. A listener wants to specialize in pain control. But how? Mike claims to be the god Hypnos in human form. Why does everyone equate hypnosis with smoking cessation? Chris shamelessly promotes our hypnosis training school. We recommend Jason Linett for hypnosis marketing! Mike and Chris tell how to get your hypnosis pain-control practice going… Chris says we’re eating our own cooking. Mike says he’s wrestling with his own underwear. We admit that we’re marketing! Check us out… Word of mouth works, once it reaches critical mass… Medical doctors have no problem referring patients to a competent hypnotist…You must convince the doctor that you’re not a dick though. Mike thinks Chris is going on too long about this, and says “Let’s not hammer it into the rectum”. Mike suggests we’ll edit the phrase out of the podcast, but let’s face it … that’s not going to happen! Can hypnosis help with burns? You betcha! Mike had a weird year…anaphylactic shock from a wasp sting, and a nasty burn! A 425 degree metal tray can burn you! Chris talks about high coefficient of heat transfer. Mike corrects him and explains he’s talking about thermal inertia. Chris persists, but Mike references a college level course in Meteorology he’s just completed and the subject ends properly. Chris shows restraint by holding back the credibility of his mechanical engineering degree. They’re both correct, but he’s happy to allow Mike to believe he’s more correct. Mike admits he was “momentarily dickish”. Remember: Flush burns with cold water until help arrives! Bradykinins are released at the site of a burn and make it worse. Hypnosis in the first hour after a burn can stop those nasty bradykinins! Mike says that Chris’ burns turn to scabs (because he’s Polish) and then become cancer! He then howls with laughter at his own comedic brilliance. Chris got a bacon burn! Is there anything worse? The hypnosis worked for him too! Chris turns the bacon story into a Ken Sweatman story, and Mike quietly calls him “Ken”. Mike gets Christ to look away and then coughs on his neck. Callum is a cop. He’s interested in training. Come to Toronto! Robban in Sweden asks about using the rewind technique to detraumatize. Mike clarifies the muddy waters of Chris’ explanation. Mike say’s that you can’t have a memory backwards, but means that you can’t have an emotion backwards. Yes folks, it was a rare mistake. Mike learned some of this from Willem Lammers. Chris pulls a Bandler book from the shelf and Mike trumps him and yells “Hurrah!” This is the second time they’ve done this podcast. The first version sucked! The Gus Grissom Update! Sponsored by Shyzjigg! Send your Gus Grissom sightings to info(at)mikemandelhypnosis.com Architecture of Hypnosis is approaching sold-out status for May 2017.

Welcome to Episode 74 of Brain Software with Mike Mandel and Chris Thompson! Never before has a hypnotic typhoon gained so much energizing moisture, so quickly! This podcast is all about the transformative power of Logical Levels! Make sure you apply this information and have an awesome life… Check out the show notes below and scroll down to listen to the podcast directly on this page. Keep sending us topic suggestions and show feedback. We love hearing from all of you. Remember to send your Gus Grissom sightings to:gusgrissom@mailinator.com Here are the show notes for this episode: Mike is brandishing a Cold Steel Roman Gladius on the very edge of the moisture of the storm! He’s cut down the amount of wine in his Beef Bourguignon, as taught by chef Mark McEwan. Yes, the National Steel ukulele is the ultimate portable blues instrument! Mike’s Hypnothoughts Live MINDSCAPING course is sold out! (The Hypnothoughts Live conference is still open for tickets though…) Mike gives Hugh Comerford a plug for NLP Training, and talks about Robert Dilts, Nice Guy. Chris and Mike open a discussion on Dilts’ Logical Levels. Chris preframes that he learned Logical Levels by watching Mike teach it on video. This is awesome stuff that can change your life! The bottom level is Environment. People at this level are stuck at Effect. They feel like life is happening to them. Mike hilariously calls Chris’ daughters Hyperica and Gelsemium. The names are getting weirder, but the kids are learning these tools from Chris. One (Gelsemium) actually did the Jerry Intervention. These levels apply to organizations too; not just people. You have to be at Cause, not Effect! People who feel victimized are often stuck at the level of Environment. Mike points out that everything that’s happened is in the past. Mike says that all the time we have is coming to us from the future,  which is brilliant! You can effect the level where you are, or chunk up to a higher level. Next level up is Behaviour. What are you doing? Thinking? Saying? At Cause, means you’re the one in charge! Change Behaviour, and Environment also changes. A filthy house can be transformed! Chris begins discussing the concept of choosing a word for the year. Mike says he remembers that Chris’ word was vasectomy, leading to much hilarity, and Mike declaring himself to be a “comic genius”. They edit it out. Mike’s word was alacrity. (Chris’ actual word was balance) Mike talks about using the power of procrastination to procrastinate later. Mike does a “Jerry Kein cough” which is also edited out … except that it’s not really edited at all. Level 3 is Capabilities, which is really just abilities. New Capabilities will automatically add to possible behaviours. They discuss how the Architecture of Hypnosis came out of Mike’s study of Gothic Cathedrals. You sometimes have to practice in order to get new capabilities. Mike shameless drops a name by saying in an offhand manner that he “was having lunch with John Grinder”. Physicality plus saturation did the trick. Review is the key… Mike is flying to Quebec to discuss stress with financial planners and pension managers. The boyz discuss playing blues on a stratocaster to replicate Clapton. Beliefs are on top of Capabilities. Whether you believe something is possible, or not…you’re probably right. The Wizard of Oz as an example, and Mike sings Over the Rainbow in the background. Chris begins making a point from The Wizard of Oz and Mike doubts that Chris has even seen it. He says Chris might have been thinking of The Bag of Pykthos – The Movie. Or maybe Mike just imagines that would have been much funnier. Start to question beliefs that no longer serve you!!! Replace them with more useful beliefs. Use the Meta Model to attack and dismantle useless or limiting beliefs. Above Beliefs is Identity. This is the Ego, the “I” statements. Even depression can be at the level of Identity. Mike says ego eimi from koine Greek to be cultured and impressive. Mike reminisces about his early days as a “Stage Hypnotist” and how he reframed his career by changing his Identity to I am a Communicator! Get this fact: Recognize your Identity statements, and change them if you need to! Mike gives a fool-proof method to quit smoking. It works every time! I am overweight. I am a failure. I am a bad listener. These are all Identity statements. Chris and Mike have awesome lives! They actually apply this stuff. The final level is Spiritual/Mission. NLP cannot touch this one. Mike gives the example of Saul of Tarsus who was transformed to the Apostle Paul;  who went from being a persecutor of the early church, to the greatest apostle of all. Focus on Identity Statements. They’ll give you the most bang for your buck! The Gus Grissom Update: Virgil “Gus” Grissom was sighted in Wichita Kansas, by school bus driver, Honey Hallmark. Hallmark was surprised to see Grissom had apparently purchased Wu Tang Clan CDs. Make sure you email in any sightings togusgrissom@mailinator.com Mike is teaching the next Graphology Class in Toronto – Saturday September 17th and Sunday September 18th, 2016 – this event is coming up fast.

Welcome to Episode 73 of Brain Software with Mike Mandel and Chris Thompson! This could be our last podcast before attending Hypnothoughts Live in Las Vegas this coming August, but hopefully we’ll record one more before then. This podcast is all about how to change someone else’s behaviour. Check out the show notes below and scroll down to listen to the podcast directly on this page. Keep sending us topic suggestions and show feedback. We love hearing from all of you. Remember to send your Gus Grissom sightings to: gusgrissom@mailinator.com Here are the show notes for this episode: This is your last chance to sign up for our MINDSCAPING workshop in Las Vegas and get a discount to your Hypnothoughts Live ticket. We already have well over 50 people signed up and we prefer smaller groups, so we’re shutting down registration soon. It’s all too common for people to want someone else to change … because we tend to think we’re perfect and we don’t need to change. The other person needs to change, right? It’s important to remember that relationships are communication loops. The way to change someone else, magically, is to change yourself. John Grinder taught Mike to ask the question, “What am I doing that is exquisitely maintaining that other person’s behaviour?” If you ask this question to yourself you’ll often come up with useful answers. Chris asks Mike to do a detailed breakdown of the NLP personal edit known as “Theatre of the Mind”. It’s an absolutely brilliant technique that was taught to Mike by his mentor. Don’t JUST listen to this. Learn it and then use it on yourself as a personal test.  Then use it with clients, friends, family, etc. Shock yourself at how incredibly powerful this is. We discuss how formalizing this as a “personal edit” is more effective than just consciously analyzing the situation and thinking about how you *should* change. Mike explains another great NLP technique that makes use of two chairs and an exploration of the three perceptual positions. The three perceptual positions are: 1) Self; 2) Other person, or  empathy; 3) Dissociated, or observer. Chris admits to using a horrible line on his wife that he KNOWS will irritate her, and relates it to the Theatre of the Mind personal edit that Mike taught in this episode. Mike discusses the importance of having an exit strategy for conversations. Chris brings up the “What’s next?” exit – this is the question all hypnotists should ask to their clients at the end of a session. Mike talks about dealing with pain by speaking to it directly – it sounds like it should be totally nuts but it isn’t. Check it out as an exercise to use for yourself! Want to setup your own personal anchor to fire off an incredibly resourceful state at anytime?  Mike explains how to begin the process such that you stack on more and more positive stuff each time you do it.  This is amazing stuff!  Anchors must be replicable, repeated, and unique so you’re not firing them by accident. Mike is teaching the next Graphology Class in Toronto – September 17th and 18th – this date is coming up fast. Check out this video. The Gus Grissom Update: Grissom was spotted in Jonesboro, Louisiana by a local deputy. We’re determined to find this man and speak with him. Make sure you email in any sightings to gusgrissom@mailinator.com Empowering Question: Who is the single most toxic person in my life, who always manages to drag me down to their level, and what am I going to do about it today?

Welcome to Episode 72 of Brain Software with Mike Mandel and Chris Thompson! This is podcast is powered entirely by ukulele; the only certain protection against hypnotic rash. Today we ask that musical question: Hey script readers…Can you really stop us? Can you stop us at all? Check out the show notes below and scroll down to listen to the podcast directly on this page. Keep sending us topic suggestions and show feedback. We love hearing from all of you. Remember to send your Gus Grissom sightings to:gusgrissom@mailinator.com Here are the show notes for this episode: The shear hypnotic quality to the bounds of the colon of the world! Chris and Mike say a big hello to Mario from Romania and Christophe from France who attended the sold-out June Architecture of Hypnosis training at the University of Toronto. Roman and his awesome daughter also attended from Winnipeg, along with 25 other students. Upcoming training: The Architecture of Hypnosis, November 14 to 18 (Monday to Friday) at the University of Toronto. This will be the final hypnosis training for 2016, and the last training ever where the Mike Mandel Hypnosis Academy online will be offered FOR FREE! (It’s filling up already, with students coming in from Spain and Switzerland, so book now…) Chris promotes the 2 day Graphology training, also at the University of Toronto, September 17 and 18 (Saturday and Sunday). Mike has been a handwriting specialist and has done graphology forensically since 1993. Check the video atmikemandelhypnosis.com/handwriting Remember: The writing never lies… The boyz jump into content and discuss Reframing. Chris finds the excellent Bandler and Grinder  book from the 1970s while they’re talking. Content vs context reframing. Is the glass half empty or half full? Changing the context changes the meaning, because without context, there is no meaning whatsoever. Mike explains the blue-painted face phenomenon, and how context changes meaning. Chris gives a fairly lame example about the meaning of laughter changing on the street vs in a pub. Mike feigns interest to avoid hurting Chris’ feelings, and cleverly switches to a story of a man on a train in England who kept laughing while reading a book, and how he confronted him. Mike makes an extremely rare mistake, because the book is actually called The Wilt Alternative, and is a hilarious read. Mike asked John Grinder about the classic 6 Step Reframe to find out what the reframe was. Chris and Mike discuss how Mike was frequently bullied as a young, extremely brilliant boy. He could have framed the situation as I am a victim, but had better options. Identity statements are powerful stuff. Robert Dilts’ Logical Levels describe 6 different ways of viewing situations. Mike and Chris explain. The levels are (going up) Environment, Behaviour, Capabilities, Beliefs, Identity and Spiritual/Mission. Identity statements are I AM statements. Mike thinks AA has it wrong by telling people to say I am an alcoholic! Mike gives the example of a personal reframe he used, by reframing himself as a Communicator…Chris mistakenly switches the discussion to commodities, such as gold, lead, and wheat, and profit margins. Mike gently brings the topic back. Brain Building provided the answer. Chris chunks up from stage hypnotist, to hypnotist, to communicator, and explains how he’s “zooming out”. Mike reluctantly admits Chris is correct this time. Chris is gaining confidence and speed and starts talking about smoking, and immediately begins to channel Ken Sweatman. The subject becomes organ language. Mike teaches the literal reframe, where the movie is stopped at the peak moment and the submodalities are changed. The decorative frame and museum light complete the procedure. Chris gives a surprisingly effective example about his daughters, Santa Domingaand Lucretia, in the school system. That which you cannot anticipate becomes irrelevant clutter and wastes your time. Chris tells how he and his wife, Dorotrapula, focused on what they could control instead of what they couldn’t control. As Chris explains, Mike can be heard saying “Nice…nice…” but isn’t listening at all, because he’s preparing to deliver the Empowering Question! Ladies and Gentlemen: The Gus Grissom Update: Grissom was spotted outside St. Basil’s Church next to Brennan Hall, University of Toronto, by Capt. Rick Green of Michigan. Grissom was wearing a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey and although Green pursued Grissom, he managed to slip away. Empowering Question: When you look at your life, where are you wasting the most time, and what are you going to put in its place that is entirely empowering and useful?

Welcome to Episode 71 of Brain Software with Mike Mandel and Chris Thompson! From Toronto Canada, to the trenches of France and the Orient Express, this is the only podcast you’ll ever need. On the heels of the sold-out MayArchitecture of Hypnosis training at the University of Toronto, Mike and Chris get ready to teach a weekend of MINDSCAPING, and then yet another sold-out hypnosis course. The hypnotic infection is officially incurable.   Check out the show notes below and scroll down to listen to the podcast directly on this page. Keep sending us topic suggestions and show feedback. We love hearing from all of you. Here are the show notes for this episode: The boyz begin by updating the listeners regarding the most recent Architecture of Hypnosis training in Toronto, which drew numerous internationals, including 4 medical doctors. Chris recaps the last few years, and then Mike coughs loudly. Meta-analysis starts…Every live class leads to the rediscovery that caring about people has a profound effect. Mike talks about John Grinder’s awesome rapport secret. Chris adds that the highest level is to really care. The classes are kept small, to build friendships with attendees. Las Vegas is approaching again! 26-28 of August, 2016, with a pre-conference event on August 25. The online MINDSCAPING training has been enlarged for free. Chris uses the word “effing”, but Mike is more concerned that he said “no brainer”. Regression vs Direct Suggestion in Hypnosis (DSiH) Bernheim and Liebeault used DSiH and still got great results with no metaphors or regression. Chris channels Erickson, and then begins channeling Ken Sweatman. Regression and Parts Therapy do not preclude DSiH. Make your suggestions positive, repeat them, and keep them simple. No flowery language! No mechanistic repetition. People hate it. Mike shows tremendous restraint! As the Rickson Gracie of hypnosis, he resists the temptation to continue the discussion point. An extended discussion of sleep nearly begins… Use whatever the situation dictates! Initial Sensitising Event (ISE) is like a thorn or a piece of shrapnel in a wound. An ISE can hide behind Activating Event (AE) Following the amplified feeling becomes an Affect Bridge to the ISE… The ISE creates a platform that the phobia can build upon. Mike reports on his former fear of high ceilings that originated with St Wilfrid’s Anglican Church which triggered the ISE from when he slipped on the wet grass near the pond. The unconscious notices the connexion… Chris likes Mike’s shrapnel metaphor. Strip the negative emotion by actualizing the event… Backwards, forwards, just run the damn thing, but make sure the client’s relaxed first! Ideomotor signals are a means to accessing the unconscious mind. Keep them simple! They work even in a superficial trance. Very, very effective, for getting to unconscious stuff and shift it! Chris reports on working with a claustrophobic client where the client didn’t verbalize what came up. DSiH can be used along with ideomotor to complete the work. We built not dependency, but independency! Metaphor complete… After an update on June’s Architecture of Hypnosis course, which is sold-out, Chris talks about denying things to draw attention to them. Mike gives the example of his friend on a television talk show who demanded that his opponent “Turn to that camera, and tell everyone you do not sacrifice babies to Satan…” Chris uses an excellent example of his daughter Staphysagria, and bossy behaviour at school. Chris tells about his other daughter Texephone, and the example of the stolen candy. Mrs. Coletart’s roof and the bird, and reprise of the Isn’t the real issue… Chris explains how Texephone used the Jerry Intervention with success!!! Mike refers to her as “Clymnestrata or Synecdoche…” Mike explains the brand new Gibraltar Method. To throw an irritating person off their game, just meaningfully call them “Gibraltar”. This is beyond context-free and is now schema-free humour. What we need is the Gus Grissom Update!

Welcome to Episode 70 of Brain Software with Mike Mandel and Chris Thompson! Not only is the hypnotic storm a hypnotic rash now, but it’s delivering the kind of results you’d expect from a high-quality anabolic steroid! If you like podcasts and listen to a lot of them, stop now! This is the only podcast you will ever need. Check out the show notes below and scroll down to listen to the podcast directly on this page. Keep sending us topic suggestions and show feedback. We love hearing from all of you. Here are the show notes for this episode: Plausible deniability! Angus Young’s 61st birthday, and chicken at a coffee shop drive through! Is Mike the real-life Gus Grissom? April 1st when recorded! Chris is still talking about the wacky endings and ruining them. Mike says donuts “are full of wheat and they kill you!” How to order Swiss Chalet chicken at a Country Style Donuts shop… April Fools Day is illegal in China. Episode is all about focusing on the positive! Mike discusses AC/DC and the travesty of Axl Rose filling in for Brian Johnson. Another reference to Virgil “Gus” Grissom! Chris acts like a morning guy on an FM station. After a bad start, he begins a Ken Sweatman story. People complain about everything! Complaining becomes habituated. Life is good and bad. Where is your focus? What do you want? This is the Magic Question! Present Me vs Target Me. What do I want the Me to be at some definable time? Focusing on Present Me creates a stuck state. Mike runs into clients who even after they fix things, have to know why it happened. Mike thinks it goes back to Freud and psychoanalysis. If you’re better, who cares? If a tree falls in the forest… Chris says “lariss” instead of hilarious. Present is where we’re stuck. We need momentum and resources to move forward. Chris uses a fairly weak soccer ball metaphor that nearly gets the point across. It becomes a Ken Sweatman story. Mike manages to exit the story by talking about transformation. Mike’s wife is a personality genius and says you have to look into the abyss of your own personal darkness. Otherwise, we won’t change. Self-awareness is critical. Mike references Chris’ move to Hypno East from Toronto. Baby steps…Chris uses a business example and claims he does all the marketing (true) but also attempts to claim he creates the brilliant products too, obviously thinking Mike’s senile and he’ll get away with it. He wisely backs away from this dangerous thought… Take baby steps! Move forward each day, in business, or any area of life. Take action! Keep walking, running, whatever you need to do, and you’ll arrive at your destination. Chris begins a financial lecture about asset classes, stocks, mutual funds, etc. Baby steps again! Mike is silently frustrated, attempting to get away from the endless baby step discussion. Mike admits to being a senior citizen and collects a pension! My F! I’m buying a Tesla! It’s all coming apart in this podcast, but after yet another mention of baby steps, they move on. Chris promises to tell how he got his wife with an April Fool Tesla joke, but is lying and never mentions it again. (Chris is proof-reading these show notes and will have to finally explain the hiliarious joke in the next podcast!) The Grinder Model! How to call powerful high-performance states to the executive. The laundry list begins… 4 Levels of the Grinder Model are universally applicable. On the bottom isPerformance. How well, how elegantly will you do something? Next one up is State. This will ensure good performance. The more powerful your State, the better your Performance. Physiology will shift State. Chris says “slunshed” which is not a word. Mike pretends it doesn’t bother him, but then talks about driving his elbow into Chris’ head. There is a connexion. How would I move if I was a powerful person? Who is confident, and how would he or she move? The AS IF Frame! If I was confident…how would I stand. Mike invokes Kim Kardashian, because she’s visually quantifiable… Breathing is top level, and shifted in Qi Gong, Tai Chi, martial arts, yoga, etc. Support powerful states with breathing and physiological shifts. Mike mentions Paul Federn, Watkins and Watkins, Gordon Emmerson, etc. Ego states speak, act, and even look different from each other. Make sure the right one’s in the executive! Mike performs at Western University every year, where the kids are about 18 years old. How does he do it? Chris is obsessed with doing the laundry. Mike is calling the best state to the executive. Hypnosis shows work the same way! Call up the volunteers who present ego states that fit the criteria of the desired show. The right state in the executive will love being there! Watch our for teachers! They often keep their teaching states in the executive when dealing with adults! Mike explains how to breathe in the right state! Hypnothoughts Live 2016!

Watch our for PGO spikes though…Novelty, surprise and shock, can trigger an inroad to the unconscious mind. Monsters and Magical Sticks. Great book! Erickson just says “That’s right…” Chris is in full Ken Sweatman mode by now, and you can tell Mike’s losing interest. Chris is obsessed by the boss and the woman’s dress. Mike is very lenient with Chris. Mike says “Yes, Ken Sweatman!” Empowering Question: What old rules have you been living your life by, and what new rules will you write today, to replace them, as you move toward your goals, with alacrity.

Welcome to Episode 69 of Brain Software with Mike Mandel and Chris Thompson! This is the only hypnosis podcast you need, because it’s the only hypnosis podcast on the planet that answers questions like: If Dracula had a rash, would he still be an adequate hypnotist? Check out the show notes below and scroll down to listen to the podcast directly on this page. Keep sending us topic suggestions and show feedback. We love hearing from all of you. Here are the show notes for this episode: Chris begins Podcast #69 brilliantly, with references to Mick Jagger, iPhones, and the kind of social diseases you actually want to get. Mike clips the word “Yes” that he likes to yell, and thinks it’s really clever. Mike rips apart white people by admitting he’s a white guy who can’t dance. Mike raves about slapjacks as an everyday carry self-defence weapon. He doesn’t want to go to jail for stabbing someone, and recommends Green Man Leather in Toronto. Transgender hypnosis? What are they talking about? Social hypnosis is hypnosis that’s done outside a therapeutic or research setting. It’s the fun stuff onstage, in the street, or at a party. Mike refers to his enormous hypnosis library. He get’s lost but recovers the discussion. He talks about the old books that recommend telling people to drink turpentine, which is dangerous and insane. (Seriously! This can be fatal! Do notattempt this ever.) Mike argues that water isn’t toxic but Chris the science geek says it can be. Back to social hypnosis. Mike talks about the old days back in 1975. He hypnotized a girl to keep reliving her birthday surprise party. Homoaction anyone? A Storm Rider emailed about hypnotizing a guy to not recognize his girlfriend. It worked too well, but Mike and Chris aren’t buying it. It smells like flounder, Your Honour… Mike explains the early days when high-school girls wouldn’t snap out of hypnosis at his shows, because he was a frickin’ Rockstar and they wanted the attention. Back to the guy who couldn’t recognize his girlfriend…Implication? The man has more power than even he has! Phenomena? Chris asks what can you use that can’t be faked in a social hypnosis session. Mike talks about the speed of response and going beyond what is required. Both of which are key indicators. Mike reminds the listeners that the unconscious is much faster than the conscious mind. This is a good podcast! Erickson said that it’s impossible to adequately fake hypnosis, because it turns into hypnosis very quickly. Mike talks about Hilgard and Hilgard pain studies, and the paradox of analgesia without hypnosis. Mike mentions Jacquin and Sheldrake’s belief that hypnosis is a social construct, and that their own confirmation bias is getting in the way of adequately viewing contrary data. With hypnosis you can make people think the cows have come home. One of Mike’s most brilliantly funny lines yet. Hypnotic rash? It can be produced in response to suggestion. Mike begins talking about an experiment done last year in his hypnosis class, but quickly digresses into inanity, using his usual elderly man voice, invoking Lady Melbury’s low cut garment and mentioning Henry Squatter. He comes back to reality, and Chris verifies the hypnotic rash occurred as Mike claims. Chris begins a strange topic about onions in people’s eyes and Mike correctly names it as the allium cepa response. Chris says he likes to suggest that people are choking when they attempt to drink water, but Mike wisely reigns him in. (Chris is not permitted to do social hypnosis, because he causes too many heart attacks. Mike cannot drive Chris’ Tesla for similar reasons.) Onstage hypnosis is structured. At a party most people know each other. The street version is difficult because the hypnotist is a stranger without much prestige; at least at first. A phone rings in the background and Mike offers a golf bag to “caller number 17”. Chris rightly says “You must control your environment!” Safety first folks! Safety for the subject as well as for the audience. Storm Rider Derek in Las Vegas is applauded for his awesome skills. Mike points out that you have a foot in the door with friends. Storm Rider shirts or cool business cards provide great credibility and immediate prestige. That’s why Mike and Chris teach at St. Michael’s College, University of Toronto. Setting the hypnotic scene…Use trusted friends as helpers. They’ll help you deal with the jerks and manage the crowd. A Green Man Leather slapjack works well too… No bad subjects, just lousy hypnotists. Pick the people who are genuinely interested. Watch out for the alpha male in the group! Sometimes you can just wing it, and it will work. Chris begins a Ken Sweatman story about a time he wung it. He ran a man to exhaustion on an imaginary treadmill and the man fell “like a sack of bricks on the ground”. Mike recommends you do some group stuff because it will be pretty funny and easy to do. Look for your best subject! External Trance Indicators are the key. Hank Stone puts imaginary gerbils in people’s pants. Make sure you use Yes Sets and Compliance Sets. They pave the way to an easy induction! Go into standard suggestibility tests to build heteroaction. Social settings need rapid inductions. Mike reminds you to deepen the trance by fractionation. Mike can’t remember Drake’s last name. Chris asks what else he’s forgotten, and tells him not to have a whiteout. Some hypnotists repeat things mechanically. Congruence works well to install suggestions. Watch out for post-hypnotics. Take care of your subjects and protect yourself from litigation! Chris is obsessed with Mick Jagger for some unknown reason, and mentions him repeatedly. Mike talks about their friend Michael C. Anthony and his brilliant stage show. Mike reminds the listeners to always remove test suggestions, even if they didn’t work. End with positive suggestions! Make sure you bring them all the way out of trance. Chris mentions the Mike Mandel Personal Development Academy! Matthias, an MD in Boston convinced Mike and Chris to create this awesome course. This is 64 HD videos with a ton of bonuses, so check it out at: mikemandelhypnosis.com/pda Empowering Question: No empowering question this time around. Metaphor: The story of the robot dinosaurs.

Welcome to Episode 67 of Brain Software with Mike Mandel and Chris Thompson! The Hypnotic Storm is spreading like a rash, and you’re infected! Check out the show notes below and scroll down to listen to the podcast directly on this page. Keep sending us topic suggestions and show feedback. We love hearing from all of you. Here are the show notes for this episode: The podcast begins with the usual stupidity, with Mike doing guinea pig laughs over Chris’ intro, and then yelling “Hurrah!” for no apparent reason. A new way to vaguely confuse and sexually stress people by asking them to invest in you! Mike admits he’s pathologically ontime, as are all Enneagram Eights, and does love Oregon Pinot Noir, as well as the Washington State offering. They discuss Mike’s near crash enroute to Hypno East because of a guy texting. Toronto isn’t a backwater! 16 lanes of highway prove it! Mike uses a badge and yells that he’s not a cop to gain the advantage over idiots. Come out to Hypnothoughts in Las Vegas in August! Mike will be teaching a full day of MINDSCAPING…Buy the online course and attend the live training for free, and get a discount on your Hypnothoughts ticket too! Check it out here: MINDSCAPING promotion for Hypnothoughts Live. Chris goes well beyond the requisite explanation and it all gets dangerously close to a Ken Sweatman story, and draws Mike into the explanation of whatMINDSCAPING is and how it works. Chris and Mike discuss cold-reading, and the confirmation bias, the worst of this being Kripkean Dogmatism. Mike tells how in Newfoundland on a documentary shoot he convinced 2 observers that he’d never gotten up off a couch, which made the appearance of a selected card in a card-case across the room near miraculous. Events are reconstructed after the fact, which makes cold-reading seem real. People tend to remember only what fits their confirmation bias. Mike demonstrates the method on Chris, using his tan as an example. Mike advises to Google the Classic Reading! It fits most people. Chris brilliantly cold-reads that Mike hasn’t done the Classic reading recently. Mike says “Your sexual adjustment has caused you some difficulties…” and isn’t kidding! Cold readers make broad statements, and their dupes make specific applications of the material. Graphology is far more effective than cold-reading because you’ll be correct! Mike has been a certified handwriting expert since 1993. He provides forensic graphology and college lectures. Check out Mike’s online graphology course! You can see a cool video here: Introduction to Graphology and there’s over 7 hours of awesome training for you in the online course. A question comes in about rapid inductions and PGO spikes. Chris sends listeners to the rapid induction video on the blog at mikemandelhynosis.com Family members can be your worst subjects…at first, anyway. Mike tells how his student Mohammed hypnotised his father after one day of training. Chris explains the use of the startle effect and the PGO spike. Confusion means the brain looks for resolution. Chris starts to explain and begins channeling Ken Sweatman. Mike quickly takes control of the conversation and explains the need for rapport. They discuss a hilariously inept video from a hypnosis trainer that “drips with ridiculosity”. Mike’s REM induction fires a PGO spike, but the subject doesn’t know when it will happen. Chris mentions hiccups and startling the sufferer. Mike feigns interest. The startle must be poweful! Mike recommends Gil Boyne’s brilliant videos. Mike applauds Chris’ use of the Jerry Intervention, or: Seizing the power via confusion. Chris tells how he psychologically decimated the man for using sweeping generalizations and straw man arguments. Chris says that the man was an idiot, and Mike can be heard in the background, quietly chanting “Dick?…Dick?…” Chris continues speaking as Mike laughs. Chris thinks that Mike was laughing at Chris’ brilliance, but Mike is actually laughing at the way he kept chanting “Dick?…and wasn’t actually paying attention to anything Chris was saying. Chris explains how he actually used the Jerry Intervention, and says “This was textbook Jerry Intervention” and Mike laughs until he coughs and injures something. I think you know! is discussed. It all drips with portent and confusion. Who the hell is Jerry?!? Jerry was SO right about you! It’s now becoming a Ken Sweatman story. Life should be effortless, enjoyable and vaguely annoying to other people! Mike tells you how to do 3 really cool practical jokes while driving, and you do them at your own risk, and assume all responsibility for the results. Rememer: We are NOT responsible. At all. For anything. Ever. Mike tells how brilliant stage hypnotist Michael C. Anthony got him with the first of these practical jokes. Stomp on the accelerator and try to make it through the light. (Unless you’re in Chris’ Tesla, in which case you will make the light.) The second joke involves a horrific sharp turn and the relieved laughter when the car doesn’t roll and then burst into a fireball. The third joke is the best! Nothing like surviving a car crash…Stupid, but brilliant! (We aren’t telling you to do this, so don’t.) Empowering Question: What is it going to take for you to apply these empowering questions for your life…and how soon are you going to do it? Metaphor: Mike’s mentor, the late Derek Balmer and the parking meter… Ending: The brilliant song writing of Heinrich Dieter: Aufnahmevermogen aufmerksamkeitsverteilung!

Welcome to Episode 66 of Brain Software with Mike Mandel and Chris Thompson! This is without a doubt the finest podcast we’ve ever done! Check out mikemandelhypnosis.com for more info on what we’re up to. Here are the show notes for this episode: Mike starts by calling Chris “a bast” because he doesn’t want to say “bastard” on a podcast. They review how life should be effortless, enjoyable and vaguely annoying to other people! Mike reviews his beginnings as a performer, back in 1975 on the Tommy Banks Show. The multiple uses of “Is that what you’re calling it these days?” and how it sounds obscene… Mike and Chris name a waitress “Jessica” because she looks like a “Jessica”. Mike cracks his neck and reminisces about torticollis and a sadistic teacher. Chris got back from Dominican Republic with this wife and kids. Mike calls them “Vorolaya, Clymnestra and Allistrate” and Chris ignores him. Better than a New Year’s resolution is a Word for the Year! What’s yours? Mike’s word for 2016 is “Transformation”; both self and others. Chris’ word is “Balance”. Chris begins explaining how he transformed his own life. This quickly disintegrates into an uninteresting Ken Sweatman story. Towards and Away – Make sure you decide which they are… Chris does a quick sell on Mike’s Navigator System, and then begins another Ken Sweatman story about how he and Mike formed the Mike Mandel Hypnosis Academy. The Personal Development Academy should be available by February. Get on the email list! Mike brags about lecturing Landscape Ontario and how well it went. Hypnothoughts Live is coming up in August! Mike will be teaching, so come to Las Vegas and hang out with us!  MINDSCAPING is coming to Las Vegas. Mike will be teaching a one day intensive! Update: Prior to publishing this podcast we confirmed the details. Find out more. The Wellness Academy is here again. Mike and Chris mention that David Bowie and Alan Rickman are dead, and Mike and Chris are all about wellness. Hypnosis, NLP, language…that’s what we’re mostly about. It’s Brain Software. The story of a traumatized woman who has insomnia to this day; but only in her own bed. Her unconscious mind is protecting her. If you’re in an abusive relationship, Mike says “Get out!” Mike believes, addictive behaviours are the ineffective means of dealing with stress, without getting to the root cause. Chris uses a scraped knee as a largely feckless metaphor. When vaded states are healed, people get well and problems disappear. Mike talks about hypertension, caused by his Egyptian Mau, Gwaihir. Mike does a brilliant impersonation of Elvis exuding fragrance, to stop things getting too damn serious. Canada’s guitar hero, Kim Mitchell is in hospital after a heart attack. Mike knows Kim and wishes him a speedy recovery. Mobile technology! Mike is forced to admit that he now sends text messages. But he doesn’t do it in traffic. Mike and his friend Lisa believes there’s a dopamine release in response to texts coming in. Mike makes a reference to gruel, but Chris misses it completely. No iPhones during dinner! Is technology running your life, or helping you run a more effective life? Chris begins yet another tedious and long-winded Ken Sweatman story about the Blackberry he used to own. Mike casually drops the news that he gets paid “thousands and thousands of dollars” when he speaks, but says it with great modesty. Is your life real, or virtual? VR is awesome in some contexts…but not all. Mike demonstrates his comic genius, by joking about VR goggles to see the next VR goggles. Empowering Question: Who is the most important person in your life, and what are you going to do today to make the quality of their life even better. Metaphor: The missing time.  Ending: And now for a special treat, Chris Thompson interviews 112 year old Dennis Bryce-Morgan!   Please leave a rating for the show in iTunes, and send in your questions by emailing info (at) MikeMandelHypnosis (dot) com.

Welcome to Episode 62 of Brain Software with Mike Mandel and Chris Thompson! For this episode of the podcast we’ve taken the hypnotic storm to Las Vegas. That’s right! We recorded this on-scene at the Hypnothoughts Live 2015 conference. For more information on how to ride the hypnotic storm, rather than being swept away by it, check out the Mike Mandel Hypnosis Academy and join the growing cadre of Hypnotic Storm Riders, worldwide! Here are the show notes for this episode: Sorry for the distortion in the first 30 seconds. Chris screwed up with our portable sound recorder (but he admits it, so it’s OK.) Mike and Chris are on scene in Las Vegas with an army of storm riders. Chris has been talking too much so he has a rough voice. Our special guest is Scott Sandland, founder of Hypnothoughts.com, and he tells us how it all got started. But wait! There’s more! We also have special guest hypnosis storm riders who share their main thoughts from the conference. We’ve never had so many live guests in one show! Mike and Chris are newbies at this conference. It was our first year but we’ll be back next year and we sincerely encourage you to come too! It’s an amazing and fun event, and it’s super budget friendly. Hear us talk about William Wood, Michael Watson, Derrick Watkins, James Hazlerig, Dave and Cheryl Elman and Dave Snyder. All of these people were highlighted either by Mike and Chris or by our round-table discussion with students. Hear what Dan has to say about Mike Mandel as a speaker and his opinion on the Mandel Triangle. Hear about how he’s taking hypnosis skills into the courtroom during trials. Ryan talks about how great it was to connect with other hypnotists in Las Vegas. He also shares a cool self hypnosis technique that he picked up at the show. Rick tells us how incredible James Hazlerig’s presentation was on the topic of nested loop metaphors. Mike and Chris explain what these are and why they are useful. Lisa points out how much of an effect we had with our clan of storm riders wearing the same T-shirts. We wore these shirts for far too many days in a row, but whatever. Nadine loved Hypnothoughts Live because of the incredible variety of presentations available. Chris corrects her on a horrendous mistake (You’re welcome, Dave!) Mike was thrilled to find out that a few different instructors are using his explanation of the Elman induction to teach their students. Our own Louisiana Stephen talks about how his very first podcast was this one, and now he’s here with us!/li> Richard, one of our very first online hypnosis students, talks about a freaky and magical hypnotic induction Mike did on him. Listen to his story about disappearing shoulder pain. Haris talks about how he’s officially a “Mike Mandel boy” according to Larry Elman. Haris loved David Snyder’s presentation about detecting deception.

Welcome to Episode 61 of Brain Software with Mike Mandel and Chris Thompson! The hypnotic storm that we caused is still raging! For more information on how to ride the hypnotic storm, rather than being swept away by it, check out the Mike Mandel Hypnosis Academy and join the growing cadre of Hypnotic Storm Riders, worldwide! Here are the show notes for this episode: Mike has been oil pulling! He has the gums of a man half his age… Vegas is approaching! Mike and Chris will be in “Lost Wages Nevada” for Hypnothoughts Live! No doctorates in clinical hypnosis! Just scam organizations… People get angry when forcibly educated Hypnotic illiteracy is everywhere. No apology! Critical Faculty vs. Critical Factor! Does it matter? Yes. The November 2015 Architecture of Hypnosis class had 8 spots left when we recorded the podcast but is now sold out, but get on the waiting list in case someone cancels or for early bird notification of the next class in May 2016. The double-bind of forcing people to repent or keep saying it incorrectly! Find another teacher? Hyperbole! Lighten up folks! Mike uses “agave” instead of “argument” Mike institutes the Bag of Pykthos Award! Mike taken to task? NOT! Somnambulism is the working state of hypnosis. No light trances please! Fractionation, not refractionation, or fractionalizationalism! Dave Elman’s brilliant extrapolation on Bernheim’s work Looking forward to meeting the Elmans in Las Vegas Heteroaction vs Homoaction (It was Weitzenhoffer, Mike didn’t make it up) Suggestibility tests are purely to build heteroaction Storm Rider Justin and the stuck candle holder Convincers are not suggestibility tests! Convincers ratify trance. “You can’t see what you’re not looking for…” – Derek Balmer Calibrate and notice shifts happening…it makes your work easier. Utilization vs Incorporation Catalepsy is concomitant with trance. Eyes don’t get stuck together! Hypnotic phenomena occur naturally, without being suggested Calibration – That which most hypnotists fail to do… Blanket Release is the idea that test or entertainment suggestions are always removed Empowering question: Which area of your hypnotic knowledge is the weakest, and what are you doing to fix that? Wacky ending: Lady Melbury brought to Completion…
