The verbal breathing synchronization technique is used to build a rapport between you and the subject. Rapport is a strong relationship and faithfulness between two individuals. Once you build up a strong rapport with the subject, influencing or persuading them will be a trivial task. Verbal breathing synchronization is a powerful tool used in covert hypnosis to build a fast and strong rapport with other people even if it is a stranger.
We have already seen the basics of verbal breathing synchronization for inducing rapport with a person without his knowledge.
Post hypnosis instructions are used to take advantage from response of the subject to a stimulus. This is actually called classical conditioning by which stimulus responses are utilized to perform covert hypnosis.
The characteristics of stimulus response can be classified basically into three

2.Stimulus response triggers can be setup and initiated secretly.
3.The conscious mind will be unaware of stimulus response links.

Proofs can be commonly categorized into scientific, testimonial and personal experience. Each has its own advantage and disadvantage.
The researches are proved scientifically in the laboratories. Evidences, experiments and theoretical support are required to support such proofs. Such researches can be quantitative or qualitative.
The encrypted instructions are used in covert hypnosis to give some message to the unconscious mind without the knowledge of conscious mind.
Encrypted questions are instructions disguised instruction within a question.
Encrypted instructions can be given to the subject in three ways.
1. Encrypted Questions
2. Substitution

The definition of hypnosis in the dictionary is “a sleep like state” or “to be in a state that resembles sleep”. But people who are practicing hypnosis will strongly stand against this definition. Hypnotists fell that it is just the opposite to the state of sleep. Some feel that a person under hypnosis will be more alert and conscious and some others say that it is neither a state of full consciousness or full unconsciousness. But according to covert model, hypnosis cannot be defined since such a state does not exist.
