(C) Nathan Thomas www.KeysToTheMind.com

Dear reader, It’s a pleasure to have you here! Throughout this short report you’ll be discovering the secrets of the subconscious mind, or what psychologists sometimes call “The Creative Unconscious.” You’re about to learn how to unleash the power of the imagination, and communicate to people on a level far deeper and more meaningful than normal everyday “surface level” interactions. You can use these skills to “hypnotize” and put on mind-blowing demonstrations of the power of the subconscious. You can use what you’re learning to communicate on a level which inspires rapid change, and you can use these insights to create changes in yourself, to overcome problems and release your full potential. This is not a manual of conventional psychology nor the occult or “alternative.” It’s simply an introductory guide for you on how to get the most out of this thing we call the “mind” and help others to do the same. Who Am I?

Hypnosis is a murky term with a murky past. For most people the word conjures up images of a powerful performer or mystical movie character able to wield control over those who fall under his ‘spell.’ Of course, most people know hypnosis to be quite different. Frequently hypnosis is being understood simply to mean “the influence of the subconscious mind.” Hypnosis is powerful, but this doesn’t mean it’s unusual.


Think about the last time you were captivated by a movie, and felt your emotions rise and fall with those of a fictitious character. Think about the last time you had a powerful conversation with a close friend or mentor, and left feeling a little differently about the world. Think about the last time someone said something to you which changed the way you felt and thought for the rest of the day.

These are all examples of hypnosis as these are all examples of the influence of the subconscious or unconscious mind. Street Hypnosis

Recently a new trend has emerged in the hypnosis world called “Street Hypnosis.” Street hypnosis is when a hypnotist demonstrates the power of the mind in an impromptu or informal setting. By showing the power of the imagination, a hypnotist can WOW a crowd and create experiences which many will never forget. The imagination is incredibly powerful, and when applied and demonstrated properly Street Hypnosis can create a stunning and inspirational display of the potential of the mind. If learning Street Hypnosis is why you’re here, then you’ll be delighted to find a wealth of free resources on this subject on the Keys To The Mind blog. How to Do Street Hypnosis – Free Resources Why All Hypnotists Should Master Street Hypnosis

1: It’s *awesome* practice. Whether your goal is to eventually take the classic path, and become a clinical or stage hypnotist, or whether, like me, you’re fascinated by how to get the most out of the mind, and walk through the world with ease and personal power, Street Hypnosis is a fantastic training tool. When you can stand before a crowd of sceptical strangers and, with someone you’ve never met before, lead them into a dazzling display of hypnotic phenomena, your confidence will go through the roof, and you’ll learn a pile about how t o lead a group, and effectively influence others in pressured circumstances. 2: It Shows People the Power of the Subconscious Mind Too many people go through life the victim of their own mind. They wake up in the morning bored and tired, drag themselves to a job they hate, glare at the clock for 8 hours, get stuck in traffic on the way home, glare at the TV for hours, then roll into bed. (C) Nathan Thomas www.KeysToTheMind.com

Street Hypnosis – done the way I teach – is not just a cheap parlour trick – it’s a way of showing off the true power and potential of the mind. Show people how much strength they have been keeping locked away inside their own subconscious, and they’ll realize that life really is what YOU make of it. As a Street Hypnotist, you’re showing people how to take control of their own mind, and blast past the barriers that have been trapping them in the past. 3. It’s Phenomenal Marketing! If you’re a hypnotherapist or clinical hypnotist, or even a stage performer, what better way to promote your services could their possibly be than by hypnotizing people out and about in your home town, and giving them firsthand experience of the power of hypnosis? Bring a stack of business cards with you, and within just a few short hours you could have filled your appointment book for the next month! The Street Hypnosis Revolution

20 years ago, hypnosis was a slow progressive relaxation induction performed over 30 minutes by a certified professional with screeds of letters after their name. Today, a hypnotist is anyone who has seen an instant induction on YouTube and can find a willing volunteer. Hypnosis is more accessible now than it has ever been, thanks to what I call “The Street Hypnosis Revolution.” For many, this is a great thing. Anyone with a little bit of training can show off the power of the mind, and free others from problems. You can show your friends dazzling hypnotic phenomena, and display the full potential of the subconscious mind. For others, this is a little scary. You see, Street Hypnosis requires us to evolve our perspective on hypnosis. Ironically, even though Street Hypnosis is the modern pinnacle of hypnosis, it is structured in a way which still assumes old ways of thinking. Let’s break this down: The Old Perspective On Hypnosis People used to think that hypnosis was some sort of magic “special state” which was above and beyond our normal way of operating. (C) Nathan Thomas www.KeysToTheMind.com

This is the cartoon stereotype – the evil Svengali hypnotist with a stop watch who has unlimited power over all who look into his eyes. Fortunately, people are now a little too smart and too well educated to fall for this way of thinking. The Modern Perspective Hypnosis is an outdated term for something which is very powerful, yet very natural and very common. Any form of persuasion or change that happens on the subconscious level is hypnosis. When a persuasive add convinces you to buy a new TV, that’s hypnosis. When an amazing and inspiring movie makes you feel good for hours after the film has

ended, that’s hypnosis. When you have a deep conversation with a friend and leave them feeling great, their problems solved, that’s hypnosis.

It’s a process that we all go through everyday of our lives. Here’s where Street Hypnosis fits in: The Street Hypnosis Revolution Street Hypnosis takes this modern understanding of hypnosis, and applies it to old thought patterns. This is where all the “instant inductions” come from. An instant induction causes the subject to go from sitting upright and acting normal to appearing relaxed, with their eyes shut. The hypnotist will say that they are now in a “trance.” Of course, there is no one magic state of “trance” BUT this process still works. Why? Because by going through the process the hypnotist l eads them through, the person being hypnotized believes that they have gone through hypnosis. This causes them to stop thinking with their conscious mind, and allow their imagination to take over. In other words, a Street Hypnosis style instant induction is a placebo. BUT here’s the big news… All Hypnosis is Placebo Effect! This should actually be self-evident. (C) Nathan Thomas www.KeysToTheMind.com

After all, a placebo effect is when the subconscious mind response to an i dea or a suggestion. What else occurs when the subconscious mind response to a suggestion? Hypnosis! Now does this mean “Street Hypnosis is fake?” Definitely not! But it does not happen the way most people think it does. Street hypnosis is just everyday subconscious influence placed in a box. This “box” contains peoples pre-set expectations and ideas about hypnosis. The box can be useful, as it creates this placebo effect and therefore amplifies the effects of what’s going on, creating a cool spectacle. It causes people to think “I must be being hypnotized…” therefore, in effect they become hypnotized. You have an advantage though… You don’t have to stay stuck in the box! Look at hypnosis the new way, the logical and sensible way, and a lot of doors suddenly become open to you. The best part is, you don’t have to slam any doors shut either. You can still do street hypnosis and hypnotize based on the old model, ie “within the box.” It’s great fun, a great way to help others create real changes, and a fantastic way to practice your skills. BUT it’s not all there is! Focus not on the conventions of the box, but instead on the idea of influencing the subconscious mind, and suddenly you have far more options and much more freedom. Back to the Revolution Street hypnosis is fantastic because it removes some of the biggest barriers to using hypnosis. It’s faster, simpler, more accessible, more flexible and more fun. But, it’s still just the first step. Street Hypnosis has the advantage of still fitting into that old “hypnosis box.” It still has the assumption of “trance” and the idea of there being a definite overt ‘hypnotic process’ occurring.


This is great because it allows you to package what you do in a way people understand and relate to, and because of the placebo effect I described earlier it can make what you do more powerful and effective. However just because you operate within this box doesn’t mean your mind needs to be stuck in it. Relax your thinking, open your mind, and you’ll realize that there’s far more to being a real hypnotist than just ‘hypnosis!’ How to Do Street Hypnosis Check out these posts on Keys To The Mind on how to get started in Street Hypnosis – they include videos to demonstrate and walk you through the entire process.

The Truth about Instant and Rapid Hypnosis Inductions 5 Steps to Instant Street Hypnosis Communicate with Impact

Communicating at the normal surface level won’t get you far. In order to create transformations, you need to go a little deeper. Some people call this “Conversational Hypnosis” but it’s r eally just the art of communicating to people in a way that gets results. Hypnotic Language Patterns

About 40 years ago, a linguist named John Grinder and a computer programmer named Richard Bandler sat down with a pen and paper, and set about picking apart the conversational patterns of a man named Milton Erickson. Milton Erickson was a therapist and hypnotist based in Phoenix, Arizona, with a few unusual knacks. Erickson noticed that when his clients came to see him, they often phrased their problems in strange ways. They’d speak in such a way that their totally irrational problems somehow seemed real, concrete and unchangeable. Dr. Erickson thought that if these patterns kept people trapped inside problems, then they could probably be used to free people from problems as well. He began talking to clients in that same language, feeding their patterns back to them. Patterns like… The Bind, two ideas linked together: “the more you read about language patterns, the more you notice people using them naturally in everyday speech”…


The Double Bind, the illusion of choice … “people find they either find language patterns easy to use or simple to implement in their daily communication”… Presuppositions… “when (presupposition of time, it’s not if, it’s when) you realize (presupposition of awareness, it’s not whether it’s happening, it’s whether you’ve noticed) how easy it is to use these language patterns, you’ll notice that you’ve already made massive changes in the way you communicate”… Embedded Commands… When you read this post you’ll discover more ways to use these patterns in your interactions… Cause – Effect patterns,... Reading this post means you’re learning about hypnotic language patterns, and because you’re learning these patterns, it means you can use them naturally in your everyday interactions. And a lot more besides! Grinder and Bandler broke down these patterns, and called the model they created “The Milton Model.” The patterns aren’t logical, but they play into the way the mind thinks, and creates a compelling motivation for actions and beliefs. The Milton Model is today used by therapists, businessmen, marketers and more to connect with people, change their beliefs and attitudes, and motivate them to take action, and create change. How To Use Hypnotic Language Patterns without Sounding Crazy…

There are those who say language patterns are absurd, that they could never possibly be used in a real life conversation, and are at best a crutch for the anxious or nervous hypnotist. They assume that in order to use language patterns in normal conversations, you have to drastically change the way you speak. Here’s the secret: you don’t!

The fact is language patterns are used by us in our everyday lives, all the time! The t rouble is, they’re normally used for negative things. Every time someone says “ I’ve realized I’ll either fail now, or give up” (presupposition of awareness followed by a double bind), or “ the more I talk to him, the more annoyed I get” (bind), they are using language patterns! Open your ears and you’ll find people use patterns of the Milton Model all the time! They are a natural function of English language communication! So, rather than allowing us to trap ourselves into our problems with these patterns, why not use them to help free our minds, get what we want from life, and help others do the same?


Keep an ear out for language patterns in your everyday interactions, and ask yourself how you can use these patterns for the results you want. The Go There First Idea

All effective influence and communication begins with your own state of mind. Your state effects your body language, your tonality, the words you subconsciously select, and the minute details of your non-verbal communication. If you’re not in the right start of mind, you’ll sabotage the effectiveness of your communication of dozens of levels. So, always begin with the state of mind you want to help someone enter. If you want to cheer someone up, be in a cheerful state of mind yourself. If you want to gain rapport with someone, be in that rapport state yourself! Of course, there are some nuances here that you should be attune to. You see before you can bring someone into your own positive state of mind, you must first connect with their less desirable state of mind. I call this technique: The Problem Shaker. How To Create Powerful Transformations within Ordinary Conversations.

If you’ve ever been talking to somebody who is down about some sort of problem or worry – maybe it’s to do with work, or a relationship – and you have wanted to snap them out of it and make them feel great, let me present you with perfect tool for the job. Obviously, if you’re a hypnotist or hypnotherapist, this technique will be a fantastic addition to your repertoire, and you can adapt it for almost any situation. I call it “The Problem Shaker.” How “The Problem Shaker” Works… If you’ve been on my newsletter for a while, you will have learned that your core inner game is the most important element of ANY hypnosis or influence work you do. Of course, just because you’re focusing on your core inner game, it doesn’t mean that you can’t use cool ninja strategies to conversationally hypnotize others. BUT rather than a scripted ‘technique’ that may sound cool but 9/10 of you would never try, and the other 1/10 would probably fail, I want to install in you an attitude and mindset that will do the work for you.


The Power of Intention Sorry about the negative example – but this is the quickest way I can help you really get the power of what we’re talking about here. Have you ever been angry – furious, about someone or something, so angry that you could not control your words, and said something hurtful or mean? That’s OK! You’re human, these things happen, and that’s in the past. I bring it up because it shows you how much impact your emotional state and intention can have on the way you communicate. Now, imagine if you could have the OPPOSITE of that – a powerful positive intention so strong that you can’t help but say the PERFECT thing, which helps other people (and yourself) to just feel great! That is the problem shaker. Lead From The Heart, and The Mind Will Follow Relax – we’re not getting into the realms of ‘woo woo’ weirdness here, but I do need you to understand that the bulk of your communication occurs at a subconscious level. Your tonality, body language, gestures, breathing rate, tonality, and t o a large extent even your word choice is subconscious. So, it stands to reason that if you want to effectively influence somebody, you should work on your whole self, not just on the shallow conscious level. This is what the problem shaker is all about. While a general positive intention will serve you tremendously well, for the problem shaker I’d like to get very specific. And it starts with a very precise emotional place… The Monster In The Cupboard… Imagine that you knew a reasonably bright kid of about 6 or 7, who was perfectly normal and happy, yet he was afraid of a monster in his bedroom cupboard. Would you try and logically convince him that there was no monster there? Would you angrily tell him to grow up and get over it? Would you freak out, and run out of the room lest the monster eat you too?


These options may sound farcical – but emotional persuasion, anger or, even worse – AGREEING with the problem – are the ways most people in most conversations try and help their friends out! As this example should clearly show you, this does not help! So, what would you do? You’d be calm, confident and friendly. You joke around with the kid, and make him laugh at just how silly he was. Maybe you’d get him to imagine a large pink monster with a Christmas hat on, and join him in his reality WITHOUT buying into his fear or negative emotions. You’d be relaxed, playful and reassuring, and at the end of the chat the child would smile, relax, and be able to sleep without worry or fear. Don’t Buy Into Problem Frames The key lesson from this is to NEVER buy into problem frames. If someone comes to you and says “I just broke up with my boyfriend and now my life sucks” would you say “Aw, poor you. That’s so terrible! I’m so sad for you?” Sadly, without reading this article many people would! But that’s exactly the same as telling the 7 year old kid “Oh my god! A Monster! You’re on your own kid, I’m getting out of here! ” When people are bogged down by a problem they are NOT seeing the world through a very productive frame of mind. Joining them in their world view is the worst thing you could do. Instead, maintain YOUR frame. YOUR frame should be the ‘everything’s fine and life is awesome’ frame. Project this in every aspect of your communication. This shift alone will make you a much better problem solver than 90% of the rest of the world. Join Them In Their Reality FIRST Ouch! Have I just contradicted myself big time? First I tell you “do NOT buy into their frame”, then I say join them in their reality first!


Well, actually the two work together. Imagine that you are rescuing somebody from a burning building. Would you wander in as soon as you hear their shouts, sit down on the flaming couch and burn with them? No! But, you wouldn’t stand outside and yell ‘it’s not burning out here, don’t be such a baby!’ either, would you? The best thing to do would be to suit up in a protective uniform, grab a fire hose, charge in, grab them, and then get them out of there quickly. This is how you should treat helping someone out of personal problems too. Show Understanding Without Getting Burnt People like to know that their problems are understood. There’s also a reason why NLP style pacing and leading works extremely well in many situations. You can be bouncing off the walls with happiness, but if you’re mates really down your emotional level will be so far outside their reality that your message will not stand a chance of reaching them. Before you pick them up, you must first bend down. Realize that TO THEM their problems are real, but always REMEMBER that they are real ONLY TO THEM, and assert your reality that actually, the world is just fine thank you very much. The Three Step Problem Shaker Formula So, let’s try and slap some logical structure around these principles… 1: Recognize that their problem is NOT real. BUT it is real for them. 2: Join them in their reality just long enough to pull them out. 3: Refuse to buy into their negative emotions – maintain your positive frame, and keep them locked onto it too. The Last Metaphor I’m battling with the challenge of making the problem shaker principle clear to you without suffocating your creativity by giving you too many concrete examples. So, here’s yet another metaphor. (C) Nathan Thomas www.KeysToTheMind.com

Imagine you’re on a nice warm dry boat, but someone falls out into t he water. Your friend can’t swim, and she’s clearly going to drown. How do you help her? You could tell her that she must be crazy for thinking she’s drowning, because the boat is just fine, thank you very much. Sure, you aren’t buying into her frame, but you aren’t helping much either, are you? You could jump in next to her, but seeing as you can’t swim eit her (in their particular metaphor) you’d start drowning too. This is buying into her frame too much. You could shout at her to start swimming and stop being lazy. This is advice giving – it almost never really helps. Or, you could learn over, bend down, grasp her hand, and pull her out, then give her a warm towel, and a dry change of clothes. This is joining her in her world (bending down and extending your hand) but maintaining your frame (staying on the boat and keeping dry), and pulling her into it (lifting her onto the boat). This is how the problem shaker works. Time To Get Started! Right now, you might be feeling a little confused. That’s ok – it’s natural. Usually when you learn things you are taught that confusion is bad – that’s how the schooling system normally works. You get confused, you make a mistake and you get punished. Fortunately, learning how to be a master hypnotist and a better person is NOT like that. We recognize that confusion is the gateway to new understandings. Take from this article an attitude and mindset, and use it t o BECOME a “Problem Shaker.” Read That Again

Start With Yourself

Remember when I mentioned “Go There First?” All influence and “Hypnosis” starts with you. So if you want to be able to transform others, you know who you have to transform first. Part of this comes down to what I call: Controlled Insanity

On the 5th of October last year, Steve Jobs passed away. From nothing, Steve Jobs founded, built and championed a company which today is worth over 100 billion dollars. His vision, passion and drive revolutionized the way we interact with each other, experience entertainment, and view the purpose and potential of technology. How did he do it? Friends and colleagues of Steve commented that one of his most compelling traits was what they called his “ Reality Distortion Field.” With the combination of a charismatic speaking manner, an unwavering gaze, and complete self certainty, Steve was able to convince people to believe, and later do, the impossible. Throughout his career Steve Jobs often encountered doubt and resistance. Many of the ideas which we now know were brilliant – from the iPhone to Apple Stores, were first met with ridicule and scorn from many extremely intelligent people. Steve’s reality distortion field blew those doubts out of the water, and caused people to take action, and create changes and transformations that, to use Job’s own phrase, would “Put a dent in the universe.” The power of the reality distortion field stems from one simple secret: In order to convince others, you must first convince yourself.

People in the world of hypnosis and NLP call this “Go There First.” What makes the reality distortion field such a rare gift is that most people don’t know how to convince themselves. Most people source their beliefs from the world around them. They constantly “ping” or reality check the people and inputs around them, constantly seeking to confirm that what they believe is true.


We search the reactions and behaviors of others to make sure we’re not our of line, and rapidly abandon out independence and sense of self when lost in a crowd. Going against the raging tide of social pressure is a hugely demanding task. Achieve it, however, and you’ll no doubt be able to pull others along with you. Of course, what the masses believe is not always wrong. In fact, most of the time it’s actually right on the money. Ignoring everything everyone else believes and living in a world entirely of your own design is a pretty good definition of insanity. Ignoring other peoples limitations and creating a world entirely of your own design is a pretty good definition of genius. Like everything, it’s a sliding scale. A sensible solution would be to be aware of the inputs of the world at large, and pay good attention to what others think, feel and believe. After all, you are a part of humanity, and while there may be areas where you want to break free and carve your own ground, conformity is not always a bad thing. However, ask Mark Twain said, whenever you find yourself on the side of the masses, “ it’s time to pause and reflect.” Don’t go on a bender of anarchic reality denial, in which you refuse to believe what others do. Likewise, don’t be yet another sheep in the herd, believing only what society gives you permission to think. Make a conscious decision to live a life of your own design, and set out to create a set of beliefs which are useful and empowering. Your beliefs, particularly about yourself, create reality. They don’t follow it. So, ask yourself what is most useful and valuable to believe right now. If it’s completely untrue, then believing it will not be valuable. If you’re broke yet you try and believe you’re a millionaire, you’ll probably end up in a cardboard box. Yet if you’re broke and you believe that you have the potential to become a millionaire… and (this is the most important part) you take action based on those beliefs, you may well become one. Reality is persistent, and social pressure will often try and force you to adopt a particular belief set. Ask yourself only “is it useful,” and believe it only if the answer is yes.
