How easy is it to use Hypnotic Language Patterns?
This article is about some demonstrations of NLP Language Patterns being used and just how easily they are to use.
Green Zone, Matt Damon and Hypnotic Language
The first is a little clip from the movie Green Zone starring Matt Damon. If you have not yet seen the movie go and have a look it is a great film.
Here is a clip where Matt’s character, Roy Miller uses one of our standard covert language patterns to try and shift the focus of his senior officers. In this example he fails completely, but notice the senior officers’ reactions as Roy hits the redefine pattern. One of them lets Roy speak and then uses a variation of the same pattern back on him. Here is the clip on YouTube.
The senior officer uses the whole of the super pattern we build up to in The Persuasion Skills Black Book. He gets an agreement frame in by letting Roy speak where the others were trying to close him down. He then none to subtly redefines Roy and clinches the deal by asking a question that quite clearly defines Roy as the subordinate person in the conversation.
Whilst this is obviously all scripted notice how naturally the conversation sounds. I guarantee that the vast majority of people that have watch this film would not have spotted the covert language patterns that were being played out here.
A T Lynne
A T Lynne is an author I have been conversing with for a while. Here is an extract from an email she recently sent me catching me out with some of my embedded commands in an article I wrote.
PS, I love your embedded suggestions:
We naturally do deep rapport. Think about a time when you were with someone you are really close to having a fun time. As you think of that situation with me just notice how much of a connection you feel. At deep levels of rapport it is like your sense of self is merged with the other person and you are thinking as one.
How fun! I so savour what I continue to learn from you. @

21 Games for The Mind that Won’t Shut the @#&* Up!
A T originally got in touch with me a good while ago to say that she had been using some of my patterns in her book. She kindly gave me a pre publication copy to read and she does indeed use some patterns but the book is so much more than that.
The book as the title suggests is 21 games that can help you ditch some of the chaotic noise that most people have running in their heads and reclaiming your mind. They are remarkably effective and I had some great fun experimenting with them.
I am not going to tell you about the patterns A T Lynne has running in her book because it will be something else for you to explore when you get a copy to read. Additionally you shouldn’t be buying a copy just for the clever use of a few language patterns, you can find that anywhere. You might want to buy the book because it is a great book with some excellent techniques to blow out mindless noise and negative chatter in your head. But don’t take my word for it you can discover a whole lot more about A T Lynne and her book when you click through this link.
What do you have to do to realise how easy these patterns are?
A friend of mine recently reminded me of a conversation between his two brothers a few weeks ago demonstrating a clever pattern. The three brothers were heading off to the casino. My friend was driving and his two brothers were squabbling about who would sit in the front seat.
Alan, the elder of the two squabbling brothers, who has been studying some patterns said to the other “What do I have to do for you to let me sit in the front seat?”
“Get me a drink,” his brother replied. Alan told his brother that he would get him a drink in the casino and promptly got into the front seat of the car with no more objections. As a closing the point the soft drinks in the casino they were going to are free, so the net cost to Alan was zero.
