Embedded Commands: The 4 Golden Rules for Using Embedded Commands

Embedded Commands: The 4 Golden Rules for Using Embedded Commands


UAM – Use Analogue Marking
It is important to mark out your embedded commands (EC) so that they a registered by the subconscious mind. You can do this in the following 3 ways:

1) The Use of Pauses: You will have to determine the right length of the pause for your own rate of speech. Ideally the pause should be only long enough to create a slight ambiguity in meaning.

2) Change Volume: You can mark out the command by saying it slightly louder than the rest of the sentence.

3) Tonality – See CTDA

CTDA – Command Tone Down Always
The subconscious will not know it is an instruction unless it hears it said as one. When we issue a normal command there is always an inflection in the tone that is downward. If you were asking a question the inflection would be upward. Even though the EC is hidden in a sentence, it MUST be uttered in the same tone as you would normally issue a command.

RUOT – Repetitive Use of Theme
The subconscious needs repetition to register a theme. Simply saying “a person can…FEEL COMFORTABLE..when sitting on a train” would probably not be enough to suggest to the subconcious that it should feel comfortable. To make your embedded commands more powerful, repeat the theme. To keep the conversation normal, limit the repetition of the same command phrase.

PPP – Practice, Practice, Practice
To make your embedded commands work for you, you must put the above 4 rules into practice. One of the things I get my students to do is record their hypnotic patterns that include embedded commands, and then play them back. That way they can get a feel for whether they are getting things right or not.

Now go out and, Use embedded commands!
