Sensory words

Social Media Hypnosis - The Power Of Sensory Language and Sensory Words
On a daily basis, social media bombarded with an enormous amount of information, particularly in the form of advertising messages. Whether it be in the form of a product, service or a request to sign up for further information. Our conscious mind filters those messages that may be of benefit to our daily life, but our subconscious mind creates the trigger. Subconsciously we are reacting or responding to carefully selected sensory words. We are being driven to follow through based on what we have seen or heard.
Tremendous amounts of data mining is carried out by all social media giants, government agencies and technology companies. Why is this happening? In many ways, they are tracking interactions with messages or words. It is important that messages can be tailored to human trends in an instant, and with vast pools of data, it becomes relatively straightforward.
Sensory language is used in all forms of communication; specific sensory words cause an emotional response, which engage the reader. Very powerful when it comes to convincing the reader to follow a sales process that results in you sharing your details. Or the use of certain sensory words in conjunction with pictures to entice the reader to "click" and follow. In some studies of the corporate and scientific world it is noted that the introduction of sensory words should be considered to help clarify a meaning.
In reality, readers are being hypnotized, in a very subtle way, through the use of cleverly constructed wording and pictures.
Some sensory words used on a daily basis include “Can you see yourself in a…”, “Sounds like you need…”, “What would it feel like if…”, “Let’s focus on…” etc.
Command Words
When we combine sensory words properly with commands, it is relatively simple to trigger the mind into action. We are creating a series of instructions with an intent to draw the reader to the desired place or state of (sub) consciousness.
“Imagine you are laying in an open field of green grass just observing the night sky...the stars begin to twinkle, just like your eyes often do. The more you observe the more you will see, as the seconds form minutes, the more you will be revealed. A little longer, and you will see the massive expanse of your night sky.”
With this example, we are guiding you to a particular state, which conjures a beautiful image of your very own night sky. Can you see it clearly as the time passes? You are following commands in a very subtle way. The objective is for you to create your own image, your own truth, your own perception, and reality.
From this point, the words will continue to guide you, in a quasi-hypnotic state. They are leading you on a journey, which will open your mind far away from the reality in which you are sitting.
“What would it be like if you can simply float away, and begin to explore the most amazing infinite space, the universe? Suppose you can achieve this effortlessly, where would you go, and what would you do? Remember you have the universe at your disposal, so you can only imagine the endless possibilities.”
As the journey unfolds you are immersed in your own special and unique sensory perception of the universe. It is yours, and you are being empowered to reach it, in a gentle yet persuasive way. Therefore, it is a reality that you create in another aspect of yourself and within your consciousness.
Pictures Cause Emotional Response
The use of pictures in any form of communication triggers an emotional response from the reader. Pictures allow us to “feel” what the image is showing. In combination with a careful selection of sensory and power words, readers are engaged fully. Yes, a lot depends the current activity or state of mind. If for example, we are in “work mode” we are less likely to respond to an image of a cute puppy asking for donations. We are however likely to respond to an image of an attractive successful person offering “free” advice or guidance.
It is the combination of images and words that are used on a daily basis that influences our way of living and thinking. In effect, we are being guided (or manipulated) based upon our association with certain things in our life. Once we are “hooked” it is sometimes very difficult to escape the very world we have created for ourselves. More often than not the “compulsion” to follow trends or buy certain things is derived from the clever use of images and sensory words.
Have you ever wondered why so many posts on social media these days are created to capture your attention? With so much data mining being carried out, it becomes a relatively simple task to target users. Habitual patterns, impulses, comments, likes, shares, all form the perfect recipe for the marketers’ to reach your subconscious. Once they have us under their wings, our habits are continually monitored, and adjusted as we do. Power and sensory words are simply adjusted to suit the various campaigns and particular audiences.
Words Sneak Into Our Subconscious!
Power and sensory words will always sneak into our subconsciousness, our body will always react naturally, as it encounters and lives the word through feelings and expressions. Reading a recipe book is a great example. As you read your conscious mind is processing the information and creating an action plan. When you begin to make the recipe your subconscious mind leads the way, it allows you to really tune in and feel the recipe.
As technology evolves we become far more reliant on it as a tool for learning and research. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to get by in modern-day society without the use of a computer or mobile phone hooked up to the internet. Before the introduction of computers, we would rely on the printed word for answers and research.
In the days of IT dependency, we are slowly beginning to see how there is a major conflict of interests. Historical facts that we once used to physically check and read, are now being selectively distorted to suit the demands of satisfying a purpose. In some cases, the purpose can be a deliberate manipulation of the truth and put the reader at a disadvantage. Words are so very powerful, and as humanity evolves, the use of them is becoming far more deliberate.
