Mirroring
Conversational hypnosis is used to persuade and
control those around you so that you can get what
you want. Not only is conversational hypnosis used
so that you get what you want, but it is also used
so that other people do not take advantage of you.
Conversational hypnosis gives you power and that
leads to getting what you want.
As I have said in earlier articles, the most
important aspect of conversational hypnosis is
learning the art of developing rapport with another
person. Rapport is the ability to be “in tune” with
someone subconsciously. Rapport will enable others
to have trust in you. Rapport will allow you to
gain their respect so that you can get what you
want.
The concept I would now like to share with you is
called mirroring. I would like for you to go ahead
and stand in front of a mirror. Raise your right
hand. Notice that when you raise your right hand,
your image in the mirror appears to raising their
left hand. Notice that the same thing happens when
you scratch your head.
Mirroring is non-verbal and allows you “mirror”
another person to develop rapport with them.
Imagine sitting down with someone you would like to
develop rapport with. Perhaps you notice that they
have one leg crossed on their knee. You can mirror
their posture or crossed leg. This gives the other
person the impression that you are similar to them.
However, this impression is subconscious.
When mirroring someone it is important to do so in
a manner in which you will not get caught. If the
other person scratches their head and you scratch
your head to quickly, you might get caught. Neither
of you want that to happen!
This is why mirroring is important to practice. Go
ahead and take a week to practice with friends or
at a party so you give yourself a chance to get
good at it. Believe me, it does require some
practice. Mirroring someone too quickly will get
you caught and mirroring someone too late will not
help you establish rapport.
Another way to mirror someone is to mirror their
breathing. Notice the rhythm of their breathing by
their rising chest and breathe in and out when they
breathe in and out. This method will help you
establish rapport with the other person. Now, if it
is unnatural to you to mirror someone else’s
breathing, then do not attempt it. You do not want
to get caught!
A way in which you can mirror someone’s breathing
without changing your breathing pattern is using a
technique called cross-over mirroring. Cross-over
mirroring is when you imitate someone’s rhythm, but
in a different way. If you wanted to mirror
someone’s breathing using cross-over mirroring you
could tap your finger or pen using the same rhythm
as their breathing.
In order to establish rapport through mirroring,
you must practice! Give yourself around one week to
try these techniques out on friends or strangers.
Be patient and practice and you too can master
these skills to develop rapport.
