NLP metaphors

We all use metaphors while speaking either in the form of a phrase or in the form of a story. When you use a metaphor you access certain values in your brain based on your background, culture and belief system, this information becomes loaded into your brain and so may impact decisions taken or choices made at that time. The same happens when you use a metaphor when talking to another person, this person also access a certain part of his mind based on the metaphor you used.

By selecting the metaphors you use you can let the person you are talking to load certain information into his mind while talking to him, and so manipulate his behaviour and choices to a certain extent.

metaphors can program other people's minds

Metaphors also bypass the conscious mind directly to the subconscious mind and that makes it suitable for use when giving suggestions to a hypnotized person. Even without hypnotizing metaphors can bypass the conscious mind and so can be used to reprogram people to a certain extent.
