Covert Hypnosis is an extraordinary skill by using which a person can make another to obey the commands made by him without letting the subject of hypnosis that he is being hypnotized by some a stranger. The person practicing Covert Hypnosis will be able to communicate to the subconscious mind of the other person without the knowledge of the subject.

Normally the intention of the person performing this type of hypnotic activity will be the change of intended behavior. A person who has expertise in the techniques of Covert Hypnosis can easily manipulate the decision of a stranger by influencing his decision making process.

Most commonly these techniques are used by sales men while they engage in the process of selling some consumer goods to the clients approaching them. For this they use very carefully selected words and body language with an intention to create in them an interest in the product that he is trying to market. He will make use of intentional gestures and facial expressions while he explains the how good the customer is going to feel once he buy the product in his hand. The subject will remain unaware of the fact that he is being hypnotized by the other person.

One can find a lot of similarities between this kind of hypnotism and indirect hypnotism. It does not require the conscious effort from the part of the subject to cooperate with the hypnotist to bring the result of hypnotism.

The hypnotist takes into confidence his subject through his confident posture, compassionate behavior and positive dialogue. The psychological supremacy over the subject is achieved by the hypnotist indirectly through his conscious speech and gestures. This communication will help the hypnotist to gain the confidence of the listener that will ultimately develop an unconscious neurological coordination between the hypnotist and the subject known as covert conditioning or covert anchoring. This state of mind of the subject will help the hypnotist to dominate the thoughts and behaviors of the subject.

The person practicing these techniques will be able to influence the thoughts of other persons make them agree to his point of view.  By using this method of hypnotism it is easy to make a person obey the commands of the person practicing this technique of hypnotism.  Whether hypnotizing a person without his consent is ethical or not is a question that is yet to be answered. The preachers of Covert Hypnosis claim that learning these techniques will help a person to bring miraculous changes to the life of the person practicing it.

Black Ops Hypnosis is a type of Covert Hypnosis. It is a combination of four different fields of persuasion. The idea behind Black Ops Hypnosis is an immediate, yet unrecognizable, induction. A person usually is unaware they are being persuaded by Black Ops Hypnosis when someone is performing it on them. As with any hypnosis, the motivation behind Black Ops Hypnosis should not be one of control or malicious manipulation.

The Fields of Persuasion

Black Ops Hypnosis is a combination of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), seduction, hypnosis and social engineering. NLP are techniques that work to change the way a person thinks or perceives things. Hypnosis is the technique of shutting off a person’s conscious mind and revealing their sub conscious. It also uses the power of suggestion to influence the person's actions while under hypnosis. Seduction is getting someone to do something. Social engineering is using psychological manipulation on a person. These four fields combined make up Black Ops Hypnosis.

The Basic Idea

The goal of Black Ops Hypnosis is to persuade and influence a person without their knowledge. It is done through general conversation following some basic guidelines. The idea is for the person performing the hypnosis to carry on a basic conversation with the subject. Through a series of suggestions and careful persuasion they can alter a persons thoughts or feelings. Most people who have experienced Black Ops Hypnosis have no idea they were ever hypnotized.

Black Ops Hypnosis techniques are something new but the basic ideas behind it are not. The four fields that make up this type of hypnosis are all well known and used techniques. However, in Black Ops Hypnosis these fields combine to make new techniques that make it possible to hypnotize a person without their knowledge through general conversation. This is why it is so unique.

As with any hypnotism, it is required that a person not use it to cause harm to others. This type of control and persuasion can be dangerous if a person is not responsible. It is fairly underground right now and it is something that has been kept secret. However, teachers are emerging that are willing to share the secret. A person wanting to learn more should try searching for one of these teachers or reading some of the books that are currently on the market. It is an advanced form of hypnosis, though, so a person should really have some basic knowledge about general hypnosis before they start working with Black Ops Hypnosis.

ENTERTAINMENT hypnotists love to make hypnosis look dark and mysterious and complicated. They love to pretend that they have special powers that no-one else possesses.

I love to make things bright and clear and open, and I do not claim any special powers.

In this first chapter I am going to ask you to try out various things and to think about them. These things are simple and everyday, and will turn out to be not at all mysterious, and yet they are a foundation on which much of hypnosis is built.

Words can trigger pictures in your mind.

This must seem a pretty obvious fact. You need only think of reading a novel and remember the pictures that come to mind as you do so to realize the obvious truth of this. But it is still worth doing a little exercise on it, as follows.

First just think to yourself, "I am on holiday." STOP NOW; did you see a picture of it in your mind? People vary, but it is unlikely, in the very short time I allowed you, that you saw anything very clearly.

Now allow yourself more TIME. Think, "I am on holiday." Pause. "It is my favorite kind of place." Pause. "The weather is just how I like it." Pause. "I am wearing my favorite clothes." Pause. "I am doing my very favorite thing." Pause. "I am on holiday!"

In all probability that extra time was repaid by a very much more vivid picture or pictures in the mind. But it is best, especially if you are a student of

hypnosis

, to get someone else to do the same thing, perhaps with you saying the words: "Picture yourself on holiday." Pause. "It is your favorite kind of weather." etc.

In this way you will discover for yourself the fact that people can have quite different degrees of clarity of picture, and the pictures themselves can be quite different. I, for example, usually manage only rather washed out images.

The conclusions I would expect you to be able to agree with, after some experience, are the following simple ones.

1) Words can lead to pictures in the mind.

2) It takes a little time for them to arise.

3) The time taken and their nature varies from person to person.

As a next little exercise explore the extent to which words can directly affect muscles without going via the usual volitional process of willing an action.

Hold your arms straight ahead of you with the palms facing each other and a couple of centimeters apart. Look at the gap and say "Close… Close… Close…" repeatedly at a comfortable speed.

A typical result is that over a period of a minute or so the hands do move together until they touch. To check this try it on other people (for students it is essential that you do). In that case you can speak the words as you both watch the hands.

In this way you will discover that there is again a range of responses. An average closure time is a couple of minutes. In some people it will happen in seconds. In others nothing seems to happen before you run out of patience. Occasionally someone will resist and there will develop a trembling in the arms as one set of muscles acts to pull the hands together and another acts to separate them. Another rarer response is for the hands to fly apart. But in each case you or your friends should find a strange feeling of things happening which are not willed.

The conclusions I would expect you to be able to agree with are the following simple ones.

1) Words can lead directly to muscular action.

2) It takes a little time for this to happen.

3) The time taken and the nature varies from person to person.

4) It makes little difference who is saying the words.

Various people claim to be able to control their minds using hypnosis and in some instances may bear this out, however the reality according to certified hypnotists, is that a person’s mind cannot be under full control as it is difficult to hypnotize someone against their will.

Since history was first recorded, mankind has attempted methods to control how others think and subsequently act, and not all of it has been for good. Brainwashing, often mistaken for a method to control minds using hypnosis, has generally been associated with so-called cults as leaders used subliminal messages in an attempt to exert control over others’ thinking.

Experts explain hypnosis as a simple process of gaining access to a person’s subconscious mind, bypassing the usually negative conscious, which acknowledges reality as it is. The subconscious does not always hold the same thoughts and is more open to suggestions as they relate to a different reality. In theory, a person should be able to control their mind using hypnosis to enter the subject’s subconscious.

Imbedded Thoughts Fight Off Control

However, being able to place thoughts into someone’s subconscious is not as easy as dangling a bright object in front of their eyes and telling them they are getting sleepy. There has to be a reason for a person’s subconscious to accept the suggestions as a new reality before someone can control their mind using hypnosis. Entering someone’s subconscious and leaving the thought that they are a non-smoker is being used successfully to help people Quit Smoking.

However, if you were able to completely control your mind using hypnosis, the success rate would most likely be higher than the current 65 percent. That indicates that either 35 percent of those undergoing hypnosis to Quit Smoking were not able to accept the subconscious suggestion, or the hypnotists were not able to control minds using hypnosis.

There are many people who make the claim that they cannot be hypnotized, and that may appear true on the surface, but what it may mean is that those folks may need a different method of entering a totally relaxed state to allow a hypnotist to pass their conscious mind.

Typically, a person who has difficulty being hypnotized is reluctant to allow someone else to control their mind using hypnosis techniques mostly out of fear of losing that control, or due to irrational fears of what they may do or say while hypnotized.
