Conversational Hypnosis

Mention the word 'hypnosis' and most people would conjure up images of conman getting people into a trance and cheating them of their money. In reality, such conman are not doing hypnosis but manipulation. 

 Hypnosis is an ancient communication tool where we use it to get things done without forcing people. Hypnosis is used a lot in therapy. But today I am talking about one type of hypnosis called CH or Conversational Hypnosis. 

 As the name implies, Conversational Hypnosis is using conversation to hypnotise people. The word 'hypnotise' means to get people to do things happily and voluntarily without them knowing it. 

 The power of suggestion is rooted in all hypnosis, because hypnosis is about putting someone in a trance and make them susceptible to your suggestion. 

 Conversational hypnosis is about making someone susceptible to your suggestion without putting them in a trance.  In other words, it is about suggesting without people realising you are making the suggestion. 

 All you need to do is to slip a suggestion into their subconscious mind. If you can do this you are really influencing someone.  Often all it takes is just a single seed of suggestion to get people to see your point of view or to agree with you on something.  For example, "Can I ask you a question?" is a simple conversational hypnosis. 

 The reason why subliminal suggestion is so powerful is we have two minds: conscious mind and subconscious mind, which is below our conscious mind (that's the meaning of 'sub').  Our conscious mind is the gatekeeper, it prevents things from entering into our subconscious mind. Like if you now close your eyes, you can preventing this article from entering your subconscious mind. But if I were to suggest to you ('image see a beach in front of you'), my suggestion is still able to enter your mind, not in your conscious mind but in your subconscious mind. 

 When you use conversational hypnosis, you can easily influence people to say 'Yes" when they would normally say "No" by providing suggestions into their subconscious mind.  Their subconscious mind will tell their conscious mind that they should say yes, so you have your way and the person is convinced it was entirely their idea!

 As can be seen from above, if you use suggestion, you are using conversational hypnosis. If used correctly, you will become a more effective communicator.

 Once you have master the basic of direct suggestion, you can move one step higher by using indirect suggestion. Indirect suggestions are not noticeable commands.  They usually involve imagination. When you hear this "Sitting down feels so relaxing", you will automatically sit down even though I did not tell suggest you to sit down! 

 Indirect suggestions can also be embedded, i.e., included into our daily interactions with people, which include our verbal and non-verbal language, like body language. For example, if I were to raise my hands when I ask a question, I am suggesting people to raise their hands. 

 You too can apply CH or Conversational Hypnosis in your daily work as a manager, leader, professional, salesperson or worker.  Our next article will look at how you can use CH in your sales and customer service.

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years.  Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself?  At least I have better discipline".  It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...
