So, I took some liberties to combine prose and poetry for the opening example of this language pattern. You can certainly use metaphorical alliteration, or a list of obvious facts, or the planned steps for success and the art of Hypnosis allows you to craft suggestions that fit your client.
The rule of three suggests that a trio of things, events, examples, etc. is funnier, more satisfying, or more effective than other numbers. When it comes to suggestions, a person who hears three things that are true is likely to accept the next thing to be true as well. In NLP it's often referred to as pace, pace, pace, lead, and in sales it's known as the "yes set", and in Hypnosis it's also quite rhythmic so you can see how easily it flows off the tongue, (can you not?!)
As you are here, listening to my voice,breathing in and out,you begin to relax completely now.
You can make it conversational or use a list of facts or use other hypnotic words like "as" or "while" and discover it's a natural language pattern you use often.
You're here to learn,and you're reading the examples, and you want to be an effective change worker, andthis is an easy pattern because you've naturally used it many times before in conversation.
Notice how quickly you can drift off into trance with the rhythmic pattern that goes with the power of 3.
You've decided to make an important change, andyou're here today, and you have a purpose in mind, and you become curious about how quickly you can release old habits now.
You're tucked into bed, and it's time to sleep, and your eyes are closed, and with each exhale you go deeper asleep.
Fact, Fact, Fact, and.......
You've probably already begun to notice how easy it is to take whatever is true for your client: their real-time physiology, their desires, their values, and then add an action step.
I appreciate reading your comments and stories about how much fun it is to be creative and truly present with your client.
A Toronto Realtor called in February to say how useful he's finding the patterns in his business. Imagine...the more he discovers and utilizes conversational patterns, the more effective his sales encounters become.
[Using the desires/benefits expressed by a hypothetical prospective buyer, "You notice the tree-lined streets, the nicely manicured lawns,the kids riding their bikes and you realize this is the right neighborhood for you to buy a house for your family now."]
