]]> I’m a member of the Platinum Audio News for over one year now and I must say it is one of the best training investments I’ve treated myself with.
Every month I get an episode addressing a different NLP topic. Basically the program takes you all the way from the ground up.

At this point I want to point out that its not for the complete beginner, the way Master Trainer Michael Breen deals with the subjects is quite advanced.

Here’s the summary of the first 6 months you’ll be getting:

Month #1: Goals & TOTE’S

Being able to work with the NLP T.O.T.E. and establishing a direction for whatever work you do, is fundamental to being effective with the NLP technology. Being able to establish a T.O.T.E and direction, which Michael shares with you on this issue, is something every NLPer must do well, before we get into the more advanced NLP work.

This first issue was recorded via a tele-seminar and has some initial echo, all future issues have been recorded in live in person recording environment.

In this edition, expect to learn:

• Get clear on how a master uses Goals and the Test-Operate-Test-Exit framework when doing highly effective work with NLP
• The directional quality of the nervous system and how we as human beings never are standing still
• Why establishing a clear direction state (the goal) is critical for effective work with NLP
• What is an output and why you need to understand how to use them to achieve the results you want
• Understand the dynamics of positive and negative feedback and their role in complex human systems
• Understand what is and how to really use the T.O.T.E. model

Month #2: Presuppositions & Truims

This month Master Trainer Michael Breen provides you with a jammed packed master class on how to use presuppositions and truisms skillfully. When you master this skill you will find yourself not needing to use anyone else’s scripts on how to create powerful language patterns to influence and assist others.

In this edition, expect to learn:

• How presuppositions fit into the field of NLP and language
• The central role they play in masterful use of the Meta Model
• What is the difference between inside and outside a person’s map or model and why all great influencers start from insider a person model
• Learn how to hear inferences – the non expressed parts of your speakers communication and how you can use them powerfully
• How to ensure everything you say sits inside the listeners model
• Master the secret of inferred assumptions and how to leverage the unexpressed parts of your listeners model that allow your communication to penetrate deeply
• How to use the language of causality and how to do causal reasoning. This is so powerful you will want to put it to work right away.
• Finally, you will learn how to use time and ordinal presuppositions to help you take your ability to construct powerful suggestions to a whole new level.

Month #3: Covert Communication & Embedded Suggestion

This month, Michael and  Tom have distilled the essential aspects you need to really get a grip on Covert Communication and how to powerfully influence others unconsciously.

In this issue:

• The big picture of where “Covert Communication” fits within the toolset.
• Truly understand the illusion of “Covert vs. Overt” communication and the keys reasons to do each.
• Understand the purpose and benefit of intentional and purposive communication and its role in placing suggestions.
• The three key things you must have first before you should even consider which “tools” you will use to place your suggestions.
• Hear multiple examples of “Covert Communication” in action so you can strengthen your ability to hear it from others and be able to do it elegantly.
• Understand and be able to use the many “covert patterns” that we as NLPers can use to skilfully place suggestions.
• Hear Michael go through the major patterns to elegant covert communication including “Embedded Commands, Embedded Suggestions, Interspersal Communication, speaking in quotes, metaphor as imagery and many others.
• Finally, you will learn how the tried and tested methods of covert influence such as interspersal communication and metaphors as imagery can be used overtly and yet not noticed by the receiver.

Month #4: Strategies, Triggers, Motivation and Metaprogrammes

As NLPers, we postulate that everything people do has a structure, and that structure can, in the most part be captured and defined in a sensory based strategy. Whether you are looking to make a million pounds or eliminate a unhealthy habit, everything that anyone has ever achieved, every joy and every sorrow has had a strategy in operation. Mastering this area is fundamental to elegant work with the toolset of NLP.

In the following 120 minute you can expect to learn:

• What a strategy really is – and NOT what you’ve heard about on training’s
• What are the organizing principles that drive the strategy model
• How to utilize other peoples strategies
• The critical role of context in strategy effectiveness
• The role of triggers and how they operate in the context of a strategy
• How to notice if you are seeing a calibrated loop in progress
• How decision points really work
• Learn the keys to tracking when doing strategy work
• Learn the role of audience analysis
• Learn the real trick to motivating yourself
• The keys goal behind streamlining a strategy
• The true role of metaprogrammes in strategies
• And much more ..

Month #5: Causal Modeling, Causal Language And Their Role In Strategies

In this issue we depart from the practitioner and master practitioner level of understanding about the NLP toolset and move you closer to real mastery of the technology  in a way that is highly accessible.

Causal Modeling is a fantastic skill to develop and very few NLPers will know or be able to skillfully do, what you will after you listen to this month’s issue and of course do the assignments.

In the following 75 minutes you can expect to learn:

* What casual modeling and causal language are and why you should learn it now
* Understand the real magic behind causal modeling (the secret stuff)
* Hear Michael demonstrate great examples of a wild casual argument at work
* Hear how to trigger Complex Equivalence responses from your clients making your work smooth and seamless
* The key distinctions for creating a stronger sense of ‘reality’ for people and the role of the hidden sub-modality (never shared publically before).
* An overview of the key Polya Pattern of plausibility
* How to create indirect cause and effect suggestions that hide inside your utterances
* A review of the four key Cause and Effect language patterns
* How to stay sane in a time of recession by understanding how reality is “created”
* Understand what questions REALLY do inside people’s heads and the key role this plays in unconscious installation (yes we’re training you up to be able to do this)
* Great places you can observe causal modeling and influence in everyday life
* And much more …

Month #6: Causal Modeling And Suggesting Deep Truth

Learn a very powerful framework to get inside anyone’s map or model so you can place powerful suggestions.

In the following 90 minutes you can expect to learn:

]]> This is an iPhone application review that compares two apps (iPatterns (Free) and EyesMoves $1.99 both available at the iTunes Store) that aim to train you detect eye movement patterns. iPatterns claim that it will make you a human lie detector while EyesMoves promises that your new eye accessing cues will improve your communication. Are they any good?

If you’ve heard anything about NLP you’ve probably heard about “eye accessing cues”, the way we move our eyes when we think of an image or a sound (remembered or imaginary) or when we talk to our self (inner dialogue) or  think about how we feel.(For instance, when we visualize or imagine something, we tend to look up. When we are feeling an emotion or have inner dialogue we tend to look down).

If you’ve laid your hands on any practitioner manual or NLP intro book, you’ve seen the smiling face that’s supposed to decode the eye accessing cues. It usually looks something like this:

for a “Normally Organized Person” looking towards you as the instructions to the App explain (or right handed person, that means) and it if memorizing the arrows seems confusing to you, well DON’T cause this is simply NOT true. What you can keep in mind from the image above is that generally, when we access images (real or imaginary) in our mind we tend to look up. For sounds (real or imaginary) we look sideways (left or right) and when we access feelings and self talk we tend to look down. You can’t predict if the person that you are observing is remembering or creating the images UNTIL YOU CALIBRATE, that is, ask questions that you already know the answer to, and observe the movement of their eyes. For example “What color is your car? (assuming that you already know the answer) or “Imagine a ping elephant with blue stripes” etc…  Mind you, some times people will keep their eyes still but tilt their head downwards which equals looking up, and so on… So you must take head movement into consideration as well…

For teaching purposes, i guess its OK to assume that most right handed people look up and to the left when they remember an image and so on.

As you may have heard when R. Bandler teaches something, he operates on many levels. Next time you attend any of his seminars  notice a cool piece of unconscious installation he does to help you remember and understand the (seemingly) complicated image above: His stage is intentionally set up so that on his right hand (the left side of the audience) you see a drawing board (symbolizing remembered things) and on his left hand (your right side of the stage) you see a musical instrument or a plant, symbolizing the creative – imaginary side of the brain. A much easier and elegant association to make rathern than memorize this Vc Ac K chart which reminds me of  Physics: Electrical Circuits I  back in my university days.

So, back to the review,

iPatterns moto is:

“Would you like to become a human lie detector?”

In fact,

1) you can’t become a “human lie detector” with iPatterns even if you use it 24/7

2) if you could actually become an accurate human lie detector, It would probably  turn out to be catastrophic for your social life

In iPatterns you are presented with a still image of a woman’s face, (in neutral expression) and she moves her eyes and then you are expected to click on the answer you think is correct. You are presented with three choices each time. Every time you get it wrong your iPhone will vibrate. When you get it right, the button goes green and you move to another eye accessing sequence. iPatterns offers only one “accessing cue” movement at a time. iPatterns also comes with a small guide to eye accessing cues, a “What is NLP section”. The best thing about this app is its price: its free, so go ahead and try it out for yourself.

EyeMoves has a bit more modest moto:

Now you can get the skill to detect the eyes movements
in order to improve your communication

EyesMoves (by AppWellness) is a bit more sophisticated. To begin with, you get to choose the “Speed of movement {Low, Medium, High}” and the Number of movements in the eye accessing cue sequence (up to 6). Then, as you can see in the image above, you get a cartoon line face of a woman and you have to tap the correct sequence as it was performed. You then get to a results screen where you see what you got right and what not. There is also a countdown timer before the sequence is performed so that you get ready (a feature that’s missing for iPatterns) but all those extra features come with a price: $1.99.

What you need to remember here, is that these are training applications. No software (or hardware) out of context can detect if or when a person is lying as those applications imply. People are much more advanced to “read” than images with moving eyes and there are thousands of factors to consider which are left out (facial micro expressions, body language, tone of voice, skin temperature etc etc) before you come to the conclusion that someone is lying.

With that in mind, go ahead and buy them both

]]> Since I was a kid I hated books for presents. (To tell you the truth I still do). Nevertheless, yesterday a friend of mine brought me the audiobook version of “The Talent Code” by Daniel Coyle. [Amazon Link]

For the first 5 minutes I thought I’d never make it to the end. The book is read by the author which *could* have a more engaging voice. I decided to keep on listening anyways as my friend may ask me if I liked the audio book she gave me next time we meet. And then I was blown away. The content is amazing. I’m just almost done listening to this and I paused just to write this review.

(perfect gift for a teenager, by the way!)

Here’s a “teaser” part that caught my attention – and after that I couldn’t stop listening .. (I transcribe as I listen to the audiobook)

Things that appear to be obstacles turn out to be desirable in the long haul Bjork said. One real encounter, even for a few seconds is far more useful than several hundred observations. Bjork sites an experiment by psychologist Henry Rediger at Washington university of St. Lewis, where students were divided into two groups to study a natural history text. Group A studied the paper for 4 sessions. Group B studied only once but was tested three times.A week later both groups were tested again and group B scored 50% higher than group A. They had studied 1/4 as much, yet learned far more. Cathrin Fritz, one of Bjork’s students said she applied these ideas to her school work and raised her GPA by a full point, while studying half as much.The reason, Bjork explains resides in the way our brains are built. We tend to think of our memory as a tape recorder, but that’s wrong he said. It is a living structure, a scaffold of nearly infinite size. The more we generate impulses, encountering and overcoming difficulties, the more scaffolding we build. The more scaffolding we build, the faster we learn.

There is an optimal gap between what you know and what you are trying to do. When you find that sweet spot learning takes off. “Deep Practice” is a strange concept for two reasons. The first reason is that it cuts against our intuition about talent. Our intuition tells us that practice relates to talent in the same way that a whetstone relates to a knife. Its vital but useless with out a solid blade of so called natural ability. “Deep Practice” raises and intriguing  possibility that practice may be a way to forge the blade itself. The second reason deep practice is a strange concept is that it takes events that we normally strive to avoid, namely mistakes and turns them into skills. To understand how deep practice works then, it is first useful to consider the unexpected but crucial importance of errors to the learning process. In fact, let’s consider an extreme example, which arrives in the form of a question. How do you get good at something when making a mistake has a decent chance of killing you?

Daniel Coyle has looked at the research and he also went on a road trip to what he calls “talent hotbeds”, places where great talent has been produced out of proportion to their size and perceived stature  (for example, a Russian tennis club, a music school in Dallas, a soccer field in Brazil, and others). He talks about Deep practice which  is important to world-class performance. “Deep Practice” is the kind of practice that separates the great from the not-so-great. The understanding of “deep practice” involves an understanding of myelin.  (Myelin is the insulation that wraps around nerve fibers. According to Coyle, myelin turns out to be a very big deal in the development of skill.)

NLP was born to be the art and science of studying, modeling and replicating human excellence, so if you are into NLP you will love this audio/book.

The classic NLP Submodalities chart – picture from the book

I post here a short excerpt from the book, which is NLP related, its an excellent description of the classic NLP “Phobia Cure” (page 222 in the book)

Dealing with Phobias: The Ultimate Anchors
In traditional psychotherapy, it is believed that a phobia takes years to cure. This is especially so with deep rooted phobias that the person has suffered with for years. However, with the right strategies, you can eliminate a lifelong phobia within 30 minutes.
In our training programs, we have helped eliminate people’s phobia of snakes, mice, heights, water and public speaking. You see, a phobia is nothing more than a very big negative anchor. Normally, a phobia is an intense fear linked to a particular stimulus, like heights. A true phobia is one where the person starts getting into an intense and uncontrollable state of fear and they exhibit this fear by sweating and shaking and sometimes bursting into tears.

As we mentioned before, it is difficult to eliminate a phobia just by using the ‘collapsing anchors’ technique on its own. Why? Because with a phobia, the negative anchor is so strong that it will collapse the positive anchor. For example, if you had a phobia of the stage and starting to snap your fingers to fire off ‘confidence’, the state of fear will get linked to your original positive anchor of snapping the fingers. To eliminate phobias, you must use a combination of techniques that incorporate submodalities, anchoring and the distortion method. This is known as the Fast Phobia Cure, and it has five major steps.
Step 1. Test the Phobia
First, put the person in contact with whatever is creating the phobia in order to measure the strength of the phobia. For example, if it is a fear of snakes, bring the snake to the person and see how the person reacts. The reason for doing this is so that when the person has been ‘cured’ of his/her phobia, you can see the dramatic change that has taken place.
Now, take the stimulus away (i.e. the snake) so that the person is far from it.

Step 2. Create a Series of Resourceful Anchors

In order to collapse the phobia, you need to create in that person, a series of very powerful anchors. These resourceful states could be ‘confidence’, ‘complete relaxation’ or ‘humour’. Now, get that person into each of these states and, at the peak, anchor the person by saying something positive and touching them on the shoulders. For example, get the person into a very confident state, and anchor it. Next, get the person into an intense humorous state and anchor that as well. Use the same anchor (touch on the shoulders), to stack all the three resourceful states.

Step 3. Do a Double Disassociation

Now, because a phobia is usually very intense, just thinking of it will trigger fear. It order to avoid this, we need to get the person to do a double disassociation. In other words, he is disassociated twice from the experience. This is how we do it.

‘Imagine that you are in a movie theatre, sitting right in front of the big screen and you are watching a movie of yourself in the past. Now, from your seat, imagine yourself stepping out of your body and floating all the way up into the projection room.
‘From the projection room, I want you to feel that you are safe from the fear. Now, on the screen, I want you to see a movie of the time when you first had this fear (of snakes or whatever phobia you have). Maybe it was the time when you first encountered a snake.’
As the person is seeing these past experiences, we keep firing off the resourceful anchor (i.e. touching him on the shoulder) in order to put that person in a powerful state.

Step 4. Change the Internal Representation of the Past Experience

Remember that what causes the state of fear is the way the person has represented the experience of the past. We need to scramble the past experience by changing the submodalities of the pictures, sounds and feelings. We need to represent it in a way where it becomes fun and even humorous. This is where we can use lots of reframing as well. We could say:

‘As you see the snake in front of you, imagine that the snake is smiling at you. See the snake sticking out its tongue, this means it wants to greet you and make friends. Imagine the snake saying, ‘I’m scared. Please hold me. The reason I move around so much is because I want to get to know you’. Imagine the snake having the voice of a cute character.
As you see yourself holding the snake, imagine that it is a warm- blooded creature with texture you like to stroke, such as soft silk. As you see yourself holding the snake, see and feel yourself having lots of fun! What would you say or do in order to make this really fun?’ As you do this, keep firing off the anchor of ‘confidence’, ‘humor’ and ‘relaxation.

Step 5. Re-associate Back into the Experience

When you see the person feeling very good, very comfortable as they use their imagination to change their internal representations, get him or her to slowly associate back into their body. You tell the person:
‘Imagine yourself drifting down from the projector booth into your body in the cinema seat. How does that feel? Now, imagine yourself being associated into the movie that you see on the screen. Become fully associated into the experience as you play with the snake. Feel the confidence and the fun.’

Once the person is able to stay in a positive state while imagining the experience in a disassociated way, you know that the phobia has been neutralized. You can then go on to test it for real.

Step 6. Test it!

Ask the person to come back from the experience. Now, take the snake to the person slowly and, as you do this, keep firing off the resourceful anchors as you had done earlier. If you have gone through the process successfully, the person will find that the phobia has been neutralized.
Remember anchoring is a process that all of us are subjected to all the time. If we take conscious control of what we are neurologically linked to, then we can be constantly anchored to positive states. And it’s only in these positive states that we are driven to reach our goals!
Do note that some steps will vary if you have a phobia that is more specific, i.e. you have been bitten by a snake before. In this instance, you will have to use a distortion technique.

Product: MindSpa iMeditation (iPhone OS 3.0 Tested)

Price: **Free for a limited time**

Hastens MindSpa takes the unique capabilities of the iPhone™ and iPod Touch™ to a new level by simultaneously providing auditory and visual neural brainwave entrainment with biofeedback.

This is the only application to combine three scientifically proven modalities to provide deep relaxation leading to a calmer mind and better sleep.

Brought to you by the experts in neurotechnology, the MindSpa application uses proprietary neuro-sensory algorithm technology to activate specific parts of the brain through auditory and visual stimulation resulting in mental rejuvenation, accelerated learning and deep relaxation.

About Brainwave Stimulation and Brainwave States
Auditory and visual stimulation (AVS) is a method of personal development that has evolved over more than two decades from the study and use of biofeedback; a training procedure that can enable a person to alter physiological responses to induce a desired state of mind.

In biofeedback, the object for the individual is to deliberately try to calm or train mental activity. With AVS, passive inducement occurs without the conscious effort of the individual. We have combined both passive and active modalities to quickly train you to enter deep states of relaxation.

Our brain operates primarily in four brainwave states. These states range from being wide awake and active, the beta brainwave state, to the calm, focused alpha state, and the creative, deeply meditative theta state, down to low wave, deep, dreamless, restorative sleep; the delta brainwave state.

How Hastens MindSpa Works
By utilizing the latest dual induction techniques, with a separate voice in each ear, Dr. Bandler has prepared a one-of-a-kind experience for you found exclusively here. A special visual neural-stimulation program simultaneously measures slight changes in body movement and adjusts to those movements to place you into a deep, calm state of relaxation and stress relief.

BRAINWAVE STATES

BETA frequencies are measured from approximately 13 to 40 Hertz (Hz) or cycles per second. Low to moderate amplitude beta corresponds to our normal waking state of alertness where the vast majority of routine thinking and physical functioning occur. High amplitude, fast beta generally reflects a state of heightened anxiety or stress, and feelings of agitation and discomfort due to mental over-activity.

ALPHA – 8 to 13 Hz.
This represents the calm state associated with external attention and focused awareness. Among its properties, alpha wave generation provides mental rejuvenation, accelerated learning and deep relaxation.

THETA – 4 to 8 Hz.
This represents the deeply relaxed state of free flowing inward focus. It is also the deep, advanced meditation state and the seat of the creative process.

DELTA – 0.5 to 3 Hz.
This dreamless, deep sleep state is the physical and deep mental regeneration state entered through the natural sleep cycle.

A trully unique iPhone application that takes advantage of the motion sensor for user input…. I’ve also bought the original MindSpa Hasten’s edition and I am using it when I need to get away from stress and become even more creative. This application introduces the element of biofeedback in a very smart way that really adds to the whole experience. My only complaint is that the duration of the session is small …. The session ends with a promise for more sessions from MindSpa in the future.
My verdict: A must have app for all iPhone and iTouch users….

By putting Bandler’s techniques into practice, you can literally change your brain chemistry without expensive drugs or endless therapy sessions; most of all, you can finally learn how to run your own brain instead of rehashing the same problems. You’ll discover: How to Hone the Habit of Being Happy Why Thinking Positively Won’t Change Your Life. . . And Why Thinking Precisely Will The Fast Phobia Cure That Will Banish Any Fear Including Fear of Flying, Public Speaking, and Heights How to Fall Out of Love with Someone (for Real!)

Here’s a bitter bitter bitter review from Steve Andreas of realpeoplepress (one of Bandler’s ex proteges) …

(which oddly made me want to buy the book even more… )

Quote from Steve Andreas’ blog:
“My wife Connirae and I trained often with Bandler from 1977 through 1990. During that time we also sponsored many seminars that he taught, and produced a number of videotapes of his trainings. We learned a great deal of our NLP knowledge and skills from him—including many finer distinctions and details that other trainers did not offer, such as careful ecology checks to be sure that changes did not have significant adverse consequences. We will both be forever grateful for his setting our feet on a path of fascinating and continuing discovery. We created the first four Bandler/Grinder books that many have said put NLP “on the map”— Frogs into Princes, Trance-formations, Reframing, and Using Your Brain for a Change—from transcripts of seminars. We are reasonably sure that Bandler did not read any of those books very closely—he was too busy doing much more interesting things. We think it is very likely that this was also the case with this book, “Get the Life You Want,” which lacks many of the finer distinctions, attention to detail, and ecology that make NLP work fast, easy, and elegant.” [read the rest...]

]]> James Lavers is relaunching his famous “Client Getter” system for NLP Trainers, Coaches and Hypnotherapists and performers to get more clients online, promote and sell their products and build their image as an authority in their field of expertise.

Course Link: The Client Getter System
Course Price: 2 payments of £179GBP
Course Start Date: Monday 5 October

Its the same system that skyrocketed Jamie Smart‘s product sales last summer with the famous launch of the”Conversational Belief Change Mastery” programe. The emails and the whole launch for that product was orchestrated by James Lavers himself, you can still visit that legendary launch page I think it is still online so you can see a live, full scale example of what the “Client Getter” system will teach you to do. I signed up for “Client Getter” immediately when I found out that James Lavers was the one who set up that campaign for Jamie Smart. (That was about February 2009)

For those you don’t know who James Lavers is, he is a brilliant marketer specializing in the personal growth industry. He is branding his skills under the name “Distance Persuasion”. You may have heard of other of his courses like Niche Tyrant, Pimp My Profits etc.

The course was 8 weeks long and it cost me back then £397 GBP. I remember that amount exceeded my paypal limit, so I had to make a special arrangement to send money via bank wire transfer, so if that is tha case with you too, don’t hesitate to write to James and ask for alternative methods of payment.

The system takes you all the way from picking the right “niche” for you within your greater market, to creating a “diamond bullet”, a very high value report or video which you offer to your prospect clients for free in order to generate a hot laser target list, then you move on to setting up a special wordpress page from where you deliver a very precise methodic and effective launch for your product or services in way that builds momentum, anticipation and desire to buy. That makes the whole sales process effortless and very natural.

It is a step by step process and James explains everything very thouroughly. You get one teleconference call in the beginning of each week and one Q&A teleconference call by the end of each week. Because there are participants from all around the world, the call times are scheduled to fit everyone as best as possible. (That means that you may get one two of those calls at about 4 in the morning if you live in Asia – but hey, don’t worry because even if you miss the calls everything is recorded so you can download the mp3 later. )

It does require effort from your part though if you really want to squeeze out 100% of the “Client Getter” programe. It is not an autopilot method. You need to plan and think in every step of the process, create written reports, audio and video for even greater effect to your prospect clients.

James also posts videos, tutorials and resources in a dedicated collectivex collaboration area where members of the programe can post questions, interact and help each other.

Client Getter 2.0 is a 4 week program, an updated and optimized version of the previous course. For example, at the previous course alot of time was devoted to the technical aspect of setting up a launch (setting up autoresponders, coding landing pages, producing artwork covers for the special free reports etc). Now James has compiled a 3 disk set of tutorials covering all that and that believe me will save you lots of time. This time the course is open to even fewer people (we were just 20 people last time) as James intends to spend more one-on-one individual attention time with each of the participants.

If you are an NLP Trainer, a coach, a hypnotherapist or into a similar market I highly recommend that you join James Lavers newsletter, as he frequently gives out for free very valuable information about marketing your skills online.

]]> The NLP product I chose for my first review here in nlp-reviews.com is “Secrets of Hypnosis” series of products by Jamie Smart of Salad ltd.

Product Title: “The Secrets of Hypnosis DVD Set”
Price: £247.00GBP

I will be posting a thorough review of this product as soon as I get my hands on it as I’ve already ordered “The Secrets of Hypnosis Collection with DVD Video” for myslef. My expectations are high because Jamie has raised the bar with previous of his products as the “NLP Techniques Masterclasss DVD set” and the “NLP Belief-Busting Sleight-of-Mouth Master 6 DVD set”.

Product Variations:

The Secrets of Hypnosis Collection with DVD Video £413.74GBP
The Secrets of Hypnosis Collection with Audio CD £197.00GBP
The Secrets of Hypnosis Collection with MP3 Audio £167.00GBP
The Secrets of Hypnosis CD Set £97.00GBP
The Secrets of Hypnosis MP3 Download £67.00GBP

I follow Jamie closely as all of his products are of high value and I am a happy and returning customer. I just ordered “Secrets of Hypnosis Collection with DVD Video” yesterday so I expect it to be delivered in a couple of weeks, since right now I am in Istanbul, Turkey.

I find the product variations in Salads eshop to be a bit confusing. I wish there was a product comparison page which would list what’s included and what’s not in each variation, in a convenient side by side list. Here we go:

The Secrets of Hypnosis Collection with DVD Video – £413.74GBP

I was ready to order the product at the original price of £413.74GBP and I was already at the checkout screen ready to press “submit” when my internet connection went down. I got so pissed off I closed the browser and went out for a walk. When I got back, I found an email from Jamie Smart in my inbox:

Hi Konstantinos,
It’s Jamie here, from Salad.

There’s a fair chance I’m going to have to fire the guy
who came up with what is EITHER the most irresistible
thing for anyone who’s into hypnosis, nlp, communication, influence, personal development etc

OR…

The dumbest idea ever

I know that Jamie is not one of those guys who play marketing “tricks” so I was intrigued and I immediately clicked the link.To make a long story short, in the video Jamie Smart directs you to a special sales page with the discount price (which I must admit is huge and of course as you can guess I immediately took advantage of this incredible offer and ordered the product.

My guess is /* insider info */ that this offer is one of James Lavers’ marketing techniques that have skyrocketed sales for Jamie in the last year. (For those who don’t know who James Lavers, he’s an internet marketer specialist on NLPers, therapists, coaches, actors, performers, singers etc. I will write more about him shortly as he is re-launching his “Client Getter Method” for NLPers, coaches, therapists and performers in general)

What’s the catch in this discount offer? Nothing really. I only got an email from Jamie Smart where he promoted his “Conversational Hypnosis in Depth” Seminar (offered in US and UK Oct-Nov 2009). I’d really wanted to attend the UK seminar but my schedule is full right now to travel all the way to UK from Turkey.

UPDATE: This cool discount offer is not availlable anymore.
I just love it when people keep their promise and take down their time limited offers. Tha’ts why its really cool to be in Salad’s mailing list (or in my list here at nlp-reviews.com) so that you are always ahead of the pack with all the great offers and discounts.

Secrets of Hypnosis DVD Collection with DVD Video is a great deal even at the original price ( £413.74GBP) . It is the entire Salad library of Hypnosis resources. I can’t wait to get my hands on that package as soon as it arrives.

Secrets of Hypnosis DVD Collection with DVD Video apart from “Secrets of Hypnosis DVD Set” also contains the following as part of the Collection package:

• Bonus 1 – The “Secrets of Hypnosis” Companion
• Bonus 2 – Salad’s Ericksonian Hypnosis Cards (Jamie is famous for his card sets which were his most popular products until recently)
• Bonus 3 – The Hypnotic Language Masterclass MP3
• Bonus 4 – Ericksonian Hypnosis Cards Unpacked MP3
• Bonus 5 – The Top 10 Secrets Conversational Hypnosis E-book
• Bonus 6 – Hypnotic Language Masterclass Companion E-book
• Bonus 7 – Hypnotic Language Essentials MP3

Sidenote: Jamie allows you to keep the bonuses even if you apply for a full refund of the product as he claims in his famous 30 days “Salad Guarantee”.

The Secrets of Hypnosis DVD Set – £247.00GBP

Secrets of Hypnosis DVD set is the recording of a two day workshop by Jamie Smart. In his words:
“I’ve designed a two-day workshop that will put you on the fast track to hypnotic skill, which we have now recorded and produced into a high quality DVD.”

The four DVDs will help you master:

• How hypnosis works: what its benefits are, and when to use it ( with yourself, with individuals, or with groups of people)
• Ten rapid inductions : simple ways to get people into trance, fast!
• The three barriers : these are the main obstacles to getting someone into a trance, and what you can do to eliminate them.
• The language of trance : we’ll wire in the patterns in a fun and powerful way
• Nested loops and stacking realities : lots of people talk about it, but very few can actually do it. You’ll learn how!
• Embedded commands : you’ll discover how to communicate directly with someone’s unconscious mind.
• Your most powerful hypnosis tool : your voice.
• Utilisation: how to get someone into a trance no matter what’s happening in the environment around you.
• Conversational Techniques : How to use the patterns and principles of hypnosis during an ordinary conversation.
• Conscious / unconscious dissociation.
• Self hypnosis.
• Ericksonian Techniques : Including positive double-binds, negation, ordeals and lots of other powerful techniques for getting people to go in a certain direction.
• Pattern interrupts : including the legendary handshake interrupt.
• Hypnotic Metaphor.
• And tons more.

The Secrets of Hypnosis Collection with Audio CD – £197.00GBP and MP3 Audio Version – £167.00GBP

This is actually the audio recording of the DVD set along with the bonuses of the “Collection” package, namely:

• Bonus 1 – The “Secrets of Hypnosis” Companion
• Bonus 2 – Salad’s Ericksonian Hypnosis Cards
• Bonus 3 – The Hypnotic Language Masterclass MP3
• Bonus 4 – Ericksonian Hypnosis Cards Unpacked MP3
• Bonus 5 – The Top 10 Secrets Conversational Hypnosis E-book
• Bonus 6 – Hypnotic Language Masterclass Companion E-book
• Bonus 7 – Hypnotic Language Essentials MP3

In Jamie’s words: “The audio is the same programme as the DVD set only it does not deliver the visual learning. As mentioned earlier, the visual aspect of hypnosis is important and is captured effectively with three camera angles in the DVD set. In saying that, the audio programme will teach you a vault of information about hypnosis as well as demonstrate the language patterns in action… The choice is yours…”

In my opinion, the visual aspect in any hypnosis product is the single most important aspect, as the subject is in trance and its the only way you can watch the way she responds to the whole hypnotic process. I wouldn’t go for the audio only version to save on money because the video part is crucial when it comes to hypnosis.

The Secrets of Hypnosis CD Set – £97.00GBP and MP3 download Version – £67.00GBP

This is just the audio of the DVDs without any bonuses.

—

Well, I spent quite some time to sort out the different versions of Secret of Hypnosis, because as I said before the comparision is not so clear when you are browsing Salad’s eshop.

Do I recommend this product from Jamie Smart and Salad? Well, there’s nothing more that I can say other than that I’ve already ordered it for myself! So go and check it out for yourself.
