Mind control techniques are the new weapons of communication and persuasion in today’s world. These strategies will help you close the business deal you’ve been negotiating with your client for the past few weeks. They will help you win people over to your side. Best of all, they won’t require anything more than the use of your own abilities.

All that remains to be done before you achieve success with these mind control techniques is to learn how to properly use your natural abilities. Now, there are many ways you can take advantage of your own abilities, but here’s a tip I’ve found very helpful…

Giving people the semi-silent treatment.

I say semi-silent because this is different from totally ignoring another person. The semi-silent treatment is not the cold shoulder. You’re not supposed to snub the person completely. In fact, you’ll still be nice and smile at that person, except you’ll put them down a bit.

Mind control techniques like these are very psychological in nature. They are also quite effective and the success rate also depends on the type of relationship you have with your target.

I recently used this on a friend who has been making me nervous recently. I started to feel like he was getting uneasy with me, which could probably end up putting me at a disadvantage in our relationship. Instead of returning his feelings, I’ve decided to pay him less attention than I normally do.

Remember the unspoken rule of mind control techniques. You are the one who is supposed to be in control here, so don’t get carried away by your emotions.

I still smile and greet him whenever we meet, but it’s a little less warm than I normally would. I’ve also stopped exchanging glances with him whenever someone comments on something we both agree or disagree with. Suffice it to say that he noticed the change immediately. However, there was nothing I could do about it because I didn’t turn exactly 360 degrees.

I watched him again today and noticed that he really made an effort to get my attention. Gone is the previous commotion. Instead, he was eager to please and quite open. If I had something to ask of him, I would probably do it in a heartbeat.

Mind control techniques are meant to be used subtly. If you find yourself in a similar situation (and I’m sure you will), and that person asks if something is wrong, you smile and say no. This is about being discreet. You won’t be able to control people’s minds if they realize that’s exactly what you’re trying to do.
