Hi, Hypno-Friends!
It's hard to believe, but the holiday season is almost upon us. It's a time
of connections, with family and with friends. With community. The focus of
this Monthly Trance issue is "connections." Rapport.
These are skills you can learn and develop--the ability to always be
connecting. Doing so will enhance your life in so many ways, allowing you to
experience a "mutual trust and harmonious emotional affinity" with others as the
dictionary defines rapport! I think of it more as simple understanding, being
on the same wavelength. Connection!
We all have our own reality and internal experiences of the world. We give
off "clues" (sometimes screamingly loud clues) to these internal states through
our body language, gestures, and more, which can be read by those with whom we
interact. Words themselves are a very small part of how we communicate.
Here's a simple technique you can practice every day to build rapport and
make stronger connections! In the NLP world (Neuro-Linguistic Programming),
it's called "mirroring" and it allows you to share another person's
experience and model of the world. Understanding and appreciating another
person's world is basic to bridging worlds. As you're sitting with someone,
or talking to someone, maintain eye contact and do this:
Notice and physically match the person's
Posture Gestures Facial Expression Speech, tone, tempo and volume
Breathing rhythm
When you successfully connect in this way, you share another person's
experience and gain a greater understanding of their world, and give them a
sense of your appreciation, harmony and respect. See how people respond
favorably to you when you connect in this way!
Here's another technique involving language:
Listen to the sensory words someone uses. Which of their five senses do they
use most to describe their world? Most people have a primary. Do they
primarily speak in the VISUAL
(examples: "I see what you mean," or "I view it
this way") or with AUDITORY/sound words
(examples: "I hear what you're saying,"
or "That rings a bell with me")
or the KINESTHETIC/touch
(examples: "I have a
feeling you're right" or "I can't get a handle on that")
or TASTE/SMELL words
(examples: "That idea stinks" or "That's just sour grapes.")
The idea here is to communciate with someone using their own preferred
language, their own sense predicates. Match them! Again, it connects you to
them and conveys an understanding of their world and their experience.
