In this article, I am going to talk about a lesser known type of hypnosis tool called trance words. These can be very powerful if used correctly.
To contrast personal trance words with hypnotic words, a hypnotic word has a universal meaning. In other words, most people who speak the English language will respond the same way.
A personal trance word, on the other hand, is something that is unique to the individual and has special meaning for that person.
A very famous example of this is in the movie Citizen Kane. In that movie, we have the rich business tycoon who dies and the last words on his lips are the words “Rosebud.” Throughout the movie, no one knows what that means and why he said that.
As it turns out, Rosebud was the name of a sled that he (the business tycoon) had as a child, and to him it implied all the youthful innocence, happiness, and lack of responsibility that he had back then.
This was such a powerful thing. This powerful and rich old man could only think of Rosebud, his sleigh, on his deathbed.
Now, all of us have personal trance words that have equally deep meaning to us. Some of these meanings will be negative and some will be positive.
Be careful to use only positive ones when interacting with people. Here are a couple of tips to get you started in the right direction.
Key idea 1: How to detect personal trance words
How do you identify a trance word, a personal trance word?
These are the words that people will subconsciously lean on. They will tend to use these words over and over and rely on them in the way they express them both physiologically and in an emotional undertone and tonality itself.
For example, someone might come back from a vacation and tell you how amazing they were. The food was amazing and the people were amazing. All the things they were doing were just amazing. Notice how that word (“amazing”) has become an emotional trigger for that person.
Key idea 2: use the same shade
It’s not just the word itself. It is also the tonality, the way it is expressed.
The closer you get to mimicking the tonal pattern and getting the same tonality, rhythm and all that other stuff, the more accurately you will activate the part of your neurology where all those experiences are stored and relive it and bring it back. to the life.
This is essentially a kind of emotional trigger that instead of doing it with touch or a particular gesture, you do it purely tonally. It is the word and the way the word is pronounced and enunciated, and the tonalities, etc. that really make it powerful.
So go out there and start noticing how other people really trust certain words, really lean into them to make them more meaningful.
