• Fixate the subject ’ s attention with riveting stories .
• Add metaphors and symbolism to enrich what you ’ re saying .
• Use your intention , by looking expectantly at the subject .
• Remember to engage the subject ’ s emotions , which are a gateway to hypnotic trance .
• Calibrate so you can see change happening .
• Use linkages and never ending sentences and layer in nominalizations .
• Offer options instead of commands

 Of course , it ’ s going to take some practice to get fluid with conversational hypnosis . You can work with just one or two principles at first , and then add others as you become more confident . There is a way to fast track things though , and dramatically speed up your progress as an expert conversational hypnotist . The hack is called NUVI , which stands for Nominalization , Unspecified Verb Induction . It ’ s a method I developed a few years back to teach my students how to do Ericksonian hypnosis . Regardless of the complex name , NUVI is actually quite simple to learn and apply . It is now my go-to whenever I teach hypnosis to my students , either online , or in live classes . It just makes things much simpler .
