Persuasion is an art form that not many people have mastery over; often many try to apply what they know of the art without really understanding the concept, and more often than not they fail in their endeavours. This is not a by line to begin your course to tricking people into believing what ever you want to them. The title of this article may seem controversial at first, but what it will really tell you is how you can better persuade people by using the faculties that you already have on hand and some nuances as well as a good eye to see change in behaviours and predict people’s reactions to what you’re saying to them. The messages that you exude – even something as basic as your posture affects people on a subconscious level – and can actually influence the likelihood of them seeing things your way – in layman’s terms; how to persuade people using covert subliminal signals.

One of the most important subliminal signals is posture. These are the messages that you deliver to someone even before you open your mouth. Your posture can spell confidence, arrogance, a happy disposition and can make you see either open, friendly, successful and confident or even closed off and unfriendly. See how powerful posture can be as a subliminal suggester? Putting your hands in your pockets, keeping your chin up and stiffening your body gives the impression that you are arrogant, closed off, think highly of yourself and unfriendly. Try to appear less closed off, be more relaxed and confident in your posture by seeming at ease with the person, show a genial and open expression to show that you have nothing to hide.

Contrary to the saying, clothes DO make the man. What you wear and how you wear it is also a powerful subliminal indication of the type of person that you are, and ultimately how successful you’ll be in persuading people. Imagine a confident person who is dressed well – dressed in a way that gives the impression that he is a neat, well kept and successful person. Who would you be more inclined to believe and be persuaded by? Someone who appears clean, neat and well-groomed, or someone looking like a crazy homeless hobo, with hair and clothes unkempt and dirty?

The last subliminal indicator that would determine your rate of success in persuasion is the speech factor. Words are extremely important and the implicit and explicit things you say can influence anyone and give you the power of persuasion. This normally must be combined with an ability to read people and their posture. Change things up when you see people being unreceptive to the messages. Methods must be reassessed and a new set of words must be used to give a supposed insight into your emotions and intents – all that must be projected as good to the person you are talking to.

Of course this is not an entirely comprehensive manual on how you can better persuade someone. Subliminal psychologists all over the world agree that the five senses, touch, smell, etc all come into play when you try to persuade someone. What you do, what you say, what you wear and the right kinds of actions like a light touch or a firm handshake at the same time are all subliminal signals you send out to the person in front of you – signals that sculpt an image of character in their minds – character that gains you trust, trust you can use to your advantage and of course only for good.

Have you ever heard of positive thoughts attracting good fortune? Or realised that more often than not the happy people in life are optimists? Have you ever observed that people who stay calm during the worst crisis are generally the ones who do not harbor negative thoughts? You must have noticed that most successful people have supreme faith in their abilities and believe that they deserve success.

If we open our eyes we will see examples of the miracles of positive thinking everywhere. Yet most of us end up spending half our lives worrying about or expecting the worst! Why? Has stressing over it ever prevented the problem from appearing? Has expecting the worst situation to come true ever made it easier for you to handle the situation when it does happen? Isn’t it nicer to expect good fortune? At least you are saved the anxiety of spending hours expecting the worst. Isn’t it nicer to live a carefree life instead of spoiling our now thinking about tomorrow…when we are not even sure of what it might bring? The problem however only exists within your mind. It seems to control us. Even if we proise to change and start thinking more positively our negativity can sneak back in and bring worry, stress and general genativity at every opportunity.

Positive thinking and Re-programming the mind

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could learn to control our thoughts? If we could control our mind instead of it working the other way round? But re-programming the mind requires effort at both the conscious and the subconscious level. The following approaches might be of help:

Efforts at the Conscious level:

Positive Affirmations:

Telling yourself that you deserve the best constantly will help bring about a shift in your perception. The logic is basic - if for example you are told repeatedly that you can't dance you will start to believe it, and eventually you will avoid the dance floor and feel self conscious. If you keep telling yourself that you do deserve the bst then slowly but surely you will start to believe it until it actually becomes your realty.

Consciously diverting your mind-

Every time you catch your mind sneaking in dark thoughts, make a conscious effort to divert your attention to a positive thought. Just as anything that you do repeatedly becomes a habit, with time thinking positive will also become a habit.

Efforts at the Subconscious level:

Clinical Hypnosis-

Clinical hypnosis is a therapy through which a trained practitioner can delve into your subconscious and reprogram your mind. This is most beneficial to remove deep seeded negative thoughts, or even when your life is really suffering due to your constant negative thinking.

Subliminal messages-

This is a do-it-yourself approach. Subliminal messages have the power to influence your subconscious – there are even postive thinking subliminal cds. The easiest way to send subliminal messages into your mind is through the use of audio cds. In such Cds subliminal messages are either hidden behind music or are played in reverse (mixed with music). Often these messages are moved above the level of human hearing (above 20,000 Hz). People who believe in the power of subliminal cds claim that listening to them repeatedly can reprogram your mind and make it easier for you to control your thoughts.

The key to keeping a positive approach through life is to regulate your subconscious mind with your conscious desires.

We get 100s of questions about subliminal messaging all the time, and we jsut can’t answer them all, but the other week we received something which resonated with a lot of the queries we get so decided to write a more detailed response. This question came from someone reading our Subliminal Messaging Course, I will print it in full:

If I already set goals and have a lot of drive for success then what good will subliminal messaging for motivation do me?

The part of the free course she quoted was this part:

Subliminal messaging won’t work if you are lazy or want instant fixes to your problems in life without having to do any of the work yourself. Subliminal messaging will work for you if you already have drive, it will, as suggested above help you to improve, keep you focused on improvement and help you to reach those tough goals without failure, or setbacks!

This was a question I could relate to – once upon a time ago, but since I got into personal development this now seemed so foriegn, and the answer so natural:

There is always room for improvement; if you always seek improvement and personal development then you never need to worry about slipping into old habits, ormaintaning your current level of success.

Always aim to develop yourself and constantly set yourself new and higher goals. If you do this then you will find yourself using a wide range of development tools and “services” – we personally use subliminal messaging – obviously , hypnosis tapes and cds – Paul McKenna being a personal favourite, nlp techniques, and we are constantly reading a wide range of motivational, confidence building, and general self improvement / self help books…

…I want to constantly improve – despite feeling pretty confident most of the time, I still read books about improving confidence, I am always looking to improve. This is what we want to get across and the mindset we want people to approach subliminal messaging with. Subliminal Messaging is just 1 of 1000 methods and personal improvement methods you could employ to keep focused on your goals, and give yourself the advantage above your competition.

This positive and optimistic attitude is what we want to rub off on people. If you approach subliminal messaging (or anything for that matter) with thoughts like “I really hope this works, I hopethis is my magic pill”, then you are already setting yourself up for failure, and you will be looking for the next miracle cure soon enough, but if you take the approach that “this will help me to keep a focus, it is only one way I will gain an advantage and make progress towards my current aims”, and if you try and keep open, positive, and keen on personal improvement like this then subliminal messaging will help you in life.
