The embedded command is a preferred hypnotic language pattern for many and you will see yourself time and time again cheerfully sliding these in and out of your language while getting closer to that increasingly achievable goal.
To begin with - do not try to embed more than 5 words. There's no research to back up the idea of shorter commands being more efficient but using a bit of common sense will demonstrate to you that in everyday life the commands we give to others are often short and concise. And this leads us on to the essence of embedded commands and hypnosis in general; the exploitation of learned associations.
While you're pondering this you may realise that the purpose of an embedded command is to articulate something in such a way that it triggers the same emotional anchor/association that is linked to everyday commands; obedience.
In English this is done by lowering the intonation of your voice towards the end of the sentence. For example, imagine saying 'clean you room' with a question tone (raising your voice at the end of the sentence). Now say it as a command. It's quite a significant difference isn't it? The command tone is what you will subtly use during a conversation to embed commands.
Research has shown time and time again that the brain can establish elaborate patterns that allow you to notice the differences in your surroundings. Why did we evolve this strategy? Well if we consider the good old days when we weren't top of the food chain and a hungry marauder wanders our way we would have been able to survive much more successfully by the ability to notice even the smallest differences in our environment. The predator had a far less chance of getting his grub if the grub spotted him soon enough.
So how to utilise this pattern finding mechanism to our benefit. Firstly you must speak with a fairly constant rhythm. This doesn't mean boring or monotone it just means at particular rate, you can still vary your tone. Fortunately we all speak with our own unique fairly constant rhythms anyway so you don't have to think too much about this. What you do have to consider is how you need to change your rhythms when embedding a command. And this is where the pattern finding machine kicks in. While you're chatting away your conversation partner's unconscious will be very aware of your regular rhythm of speech so when you alter that rhythm it will stand out (also use a very small pause before and after command for emphasis) and once you add a subtle command tone to the sentence the obedience anchor will be fired.
So for a couple of practical examples ...
"(1)Some people find it easy to...(2)go into trance now...(3)and I'm confident that..."
"(1)A person asked me once, 'can you...(2)Embed commands in your language...?'(3) and I said....
Now at step (1) we had normal speaking speed. Step (2) there was a a very brief pause, we then inserted the command by slowing/speeding up the speech with a slight command tone. And then in step (3) we started with another very brief pause and began speaking at normal speaking rhythm again.
And hey presto before... you know it...you'll be...embedding commands with greater ease...and I'm not saying you'll...achieve all your goals...but many of them are looking more attainable, don't you...agree?.
