Make peace your goal.

Inner peace, & its close relations (joy, freedom, love, serenity etc) are what every person ultimately desires. These are the ‘goals behind the goals’ that people are searching for (even if they don’t realise it yet.) There is a quick & simple way for you to bring all of these into your life:

Make inner peace your primary goal.

Now, does this mean you have to go around being ‘peaceful’ & serene all over the place? No. Does it mean you can’t have any other goals? No – just don’t become attached to them. Know that your happiness and wellbeing is not dependant on them.

It just means that, in any situation, your goal is peace. Whenever there is a choice, you choose inner peace.

Does this mean no more conflict with others? No, quite possibly the opposite. But if inner peace is your goal, then you will find yourself experiencing more & more peace in every situation.

Make peace your goal.

Coaching
______, isn’t it? [aren't they, can't you etc]

This is called a tag question, and it’s a great way of building agreement, because it’s very tough to disagree with…isn’t it? Part of the coaching process involves guiding someone’s thinking in a certain direction. And it’s good to have tools to do that with, isn’t it? You can enjoy looking forward to achieving this goal, can’t you? Use a slow head-nod and descending voice tone to make it more irresistible. It’s fun to imagine using this question effortlessly, isn’t it? 

Influence
As you sit here, listening to me, you might _____.

“As you sit here, listening to me”. These words register as ‘true’ the moment you say them (assuming the person you’re speaking to is sitting down). This is a great way to smoothly guide someone’s attention in a certain direction. As you sit here, listening to me, you might already have started to feel how great it will be to have this problem resolved, once and for all. As you sit here, listening to me, you might like to think about what you’re going to do with all the money you’ll save by switching to our service. The great thing is, when you say “you might”, it’s tough to disagree with, because after all, you might, mightn’t you?

Week 51- Patterns

Influence
I would like to suggest that _____.

Sometimes it can be useful to soften your suggestions, and this is one way to do it. I would like to suggest that you remember what you wanted when you started this business. I would like to suggest that you take a moment to imagine how you would feel if you were financialIy independent. I would like to suggest that you study the literature I’ve given you. I’m not telling you to do anything, I’m just explaining what I would like.

Awaken from the dream.

Who you really are, the you that is happy, joyous and free has been asleep, and dreaming dreams of fear, lack and not-enough-ness.

But you are enough. You are already perfect, so you don’t need to change yourself. Your dreams of the you you’d like to be – you are already that person.

Wake up to the reality of who you are. Focus on that you, and know that is your true nature.

Love yourself back to reality, and awaken from the dream.

Coaching
Just how much ______ can you stand?

This question presupposes that the good someone has in their life has not been limited by supply, but rather by what they’ve been able to receive. This challenges the person to stretch their boundaries! Just how much pleasure can you stand? When you ask the question, the person starts imagining positive extremes. Just how much success can you stand? To quote Oliver Wendell Holmes – “The mind, once expanded to the dimensions of larger ideas, never returns to its original size.” Just how much happiness can you stand? 

Hypnosis
You might ____.

You might do this or you might do that. I’m not telling you what to do, just what might transpire. You might start to find a new way of perceiving this situation. You might see a new direction opening up in front of you. You might find yourself repeating these patterns as you sleep and dream.

Week 50 – Patterns

: )
Your thoughts become your reality.

If you’re not sure what you’ve been thinking, have a look around. What you focus on increases, so whatever has been showing up over time is what you’ve been focusing on. And if it’s been going on for a while, you’ve probably become familiar with it (people like what’s familiar).

Of course, your actions will give you clues to what you believe, too. If you think you are a fountain of abundance, but notice that the credit card bills are sitting unopened by the phone for days on end, your behaviour is telling you what you really think.

And your thoughts become your reality.

Coaching:
I’m not going to ask you “[yes/no question]” because…

Sometimes people ‘pretend’ something has ‘worked’ when it hasn’t. You can covertly ask a person’s unconscious mind for an honest response. Just put the yes/no question you would like to ask in a larger sentence. If you’re in rapport, they’ll respond to the embedded question with a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’ signal (E.g. Head-nodding). I’m not going to ask you “Will you do this every day?” because that’s your choice. I’m not going to ask you “Will you do the things you’ve agreed to do?” because that’s your business. Notice how they respond to the ‘embedded question’. 

Influence
We’ve _____, and _____, and _____, so _____.

I call this the ‘mini review’, and it’s one of the simplest most effective ways of pacing and leading I know. You merely state some facts about what you’ve done so far with a person, then add in a suggestion. You’ve been explaining what you need, and I’ve told you how we’ve helped other clients, and we’ve looked at possible solutions, so you’re probably wondering how soon we can get our team in here and start making a difference. You’ve described your situation, and I’ve told you about me, and we’ve reviewed the options open to you, so by now you’re probably ready to choose the one you want.

Hypnosis
You may notice ____ as you ____.

You may notice it, or you may not, but as you do whatever’s been suggested, you’ll probably be looking for it. You may notice a sense of anticipation as you start to relax. You may notice the sensations in your hands as you allow yourself to go inside. You may notice certain feelings as you become determined to learn these patterns thoroughly.

Week 49 – Patterns

Hypnosis
You may be aware of ____ as you ____.

It’s happening – it’s just a matter of whether or not you’re aware of it. Of course if you really want to find out, you need to do what follows the “as you”. You may be aware of the sound of my voice as you slip into a trance. You may be aware of sensations in your body as you relax even more deeply. You may be aware of a sense of enjoyment as you continue practicing these patterns.

Influence
It’s good that _____.

When I say that something’s good, it presupposes it’s true. And if it’s something your involved in, the fact that it’s good is rather satisfying, isn’t it? It’s good that you’ve had the foresight to involve our company at this point. It’s good that you’ve decided to make a commitment to your financial independence. It’s good that you’ve chosen to increase your linguistic flexibility. Well done!

How much would you do for someone you really love?

How much would you do for someone you really love? How far would you go for someone you think is wonderful? I often challenge people to stand in front of a mirror and say “I love you” and “I love myself”, then accept the thoughts and feelings that come up. I suggest that they do it until they really love themselves.

Many people protest, but my reasoning is simple: How much would you do for someone you dislike? The answer is typically “Not much.” They certainly wouldn’t go to the gym for them, show them they love them, and change the way they think for the better. If you didn’t like yourself, you probably wouldn’t do much to create a wonderful, joyful, nurturing life for yourself.

Fortunately, the fact that you’re reading this tip at all means that on some level, you must already like yourself rather a lot. So, how much would you do for someone you really love?

Coaching
Are you sure enough to be unsure?

Sometimes people are sure about things which aren’t useful to them. “I know I can never be happy.” Are you sure? “Yes, perfectly sure!” Are you sure enough to be unsure? This question uses a person’s certainty against itself, to re-open the process of possibility. After they go into a slightly confused state, you can guide their attention in a new direction (E.g. How would you know if that wasn’t true?)

Week 48 – Patterns

Hypnosis
You may already have started to notice the changes in ____ as you____.

When I say you may have started to notice, you check to find out if you have or not, and while you’re checking, it’s so tempting to just accept what follows the “as you”. You may already have started to notice the changes in your physical sensations as you allow yourself to relax into a trance. You may already have started to notice the changes in your depth of trance as you focus on the feeling of going deeper.

: ))
You were born perfect, complete and whole.

What changed?!?

Nothing. The reality of who you are has never changed. You are still that perfect child of the universe. What did happen is that you learned stories. Stories about who you are, the way the world is, and where you fit. One of the stories you may have learned is that you were not OK, but that if you changed in some way, achieved certain things, or got approval from certain people, that you would become OK. That you would then be healed and whole. But they’re just stories. They’re not true.

You’re not broken, and you never were. The perfect, complete and whole you is still there, like the blue sky behind the clouds. You can’t improve on perfection, but you can stop believing the lies about who you are. Instead, you can choose to believe in your perfect nature, and awaken to the reality of who you really are.

Say “I am an abundant child of the universe, powerful beyond measure”, then accept the thoughts and feelings which arise. What you focus on increases, so how much can you increase your awareness of your perfect nature? After all, you were born perfect, complete and whole

Coaching:
Why do you want that?

Legend has it that the question ‘why’ used to be banned in NLP circles, but it can be useful for discovering someone’s motivation for something. “I want a new car.” Why do you want that? “So I can feel good about myself.” Maybe there’s an easier, less expensive way that will actually work! Have you considered just feeling good about yourself regardless of what you drive? 

Influence
Has it ever occurred to you that _____?

Has it ever occurred to you? If it hadn’t, it has now. Has it ever occurred to you that you could be sitting on a goldmine? Has it ever occurred to you that, by making a few simple changes, your business could become the market leader? Has it ever occurred to you that you have the potential to be one of the most influential people in your profession?

Week 47 – Patterns

Influence
I wouldn’t advise you to _____ until _____.

When I say I wouldn’t advise you to do something that would benefit me, it makes me seem more credible. Meanwhile, I can embed a command telling you to do what I say I’m not advising. Finally, I hit you with the “until” statement that presupposes you’re going to end up doing it anyway. Holy moly! I wouldn’t advise you to place your order with us until you fully satisfy yourself that we can provide you with exactly what you want. I wouldn’t advise you to book a place on this seminar until you feel comfortable that this is a great investment for you.

: ))
You cannot worry your way to happiness

We like what’s familiar, and today is practice for tomorrow. If you practice worry, fear and anxiety, you’ll get better at them. Sadly, practicing these robs the present moment of happiness and joy.

Instead, practice being happy, joyous and free. What you focus on increases, so become aware of your thinking. As soon as you notice yourself thinking frightening thoughts, change to something positive.

An excellent thing to change to is gratitude. When you focus on what you are grateful for, your sense of the fullness and abundance of life will increase. If you believe you have nothing to feel grateful for, stop and hold your breath for as long as you can; then hold it a bit longer. When you breathe again, notice the feeling of gratitude for the air. When you are accomplished at feeling grateful for the air that you breathe, you can move on to the other wonders your life abounds with.

Whenever you catch yourself indulging in worry, fear or anxiety, stop and practice gratitude instead. You cannot worry your way to happiness.

Coaching
If you had to teach me how to [problem], how would I do it?

This question elicits the structure of a problem, and reframes them from victim to expert. If you had to teach me how to be disorganised, how would I do it? You can even throw in some deliberate mistakes for them to correct. If you had to teach me how to have that airplane phobia, how would I do it? Would you just get me to freak out as soon as I reached the departure lounge? “No, silly.You have to wait until the door’s closed – then you start picturing the bolts that hold the wings on.”

Hypnosis
You may already have started to become aware of ____.

You may already have started, or you may be about to, and having started, its presumed you’ll continue. You may already have started to become aware of certain changes in your moment-to-moment perception. You may already have started to become aware of the slowing and deepening of your breathing. You may already have started to become aware of the increasing of your skill in these patternings.

Week 46 Patterns

You deserve great things, so become willing to receive. How do I know? Great question.

: )) You deserve great things, so become willing to receive. How do I know? Great question. Life is an amazing thing. When you stop for a moment and think about it, despite all the pain and sorrow it can entail, life is awesome. You were deserving enough of life to be given that, so anything you might want while you’re here is a mere trifle in comparison. The universe gives you all that it gives you without condition (your life, your breath, the gravity that holds you to the earth). In fact, you could even take the view that the universe has been throwing good stuff at you your whole life, and the only thing that’s stopped you from having it is that you’ve been unwilling to receive it. Tell yourself “I am willing to receive all the good that comes to me”, then accept any thoughts and feelings which arise. You deserve great things, so become willing to receive. Coaching How do you manage to [problem or challenge]? When a person takes personal responsibility for their situation, they begin to access the power to change it. This question presupposes that an issue or problem is actually a skill that they’ve acquired. How do you manage to get frightened of public speaking? How do you manage to stay in debt? If they accept that it’s a skill, then it’s possible for them to learn a different skill – one that contains the solution. Influence I’d like to show you how _____. It’s not an order, I’m just telling you what I’d like to do. I’d like to show you how you can create an extra eight hours a week for doing things you enjoy. I’d like to show you how you can save 50% on your utility bills, every single month. I’d like to show you how you can enjoy becoming exquisitely skilled at persuasion and influence, just by playing cards. Hypnosis You may ____. I’m not saying you will, just that you may. You may notice some changes in the focus of your eyes as you listen to me. You may start to feel the weight of your eyelids. You may learn these patterns in many different ways.
