# Use your eyes for hypnosis in a seduction context

Seduction consists in influencing and enticing those in your life from whom you would like to acquire something.
Principles of hypnosis:
1. Focus
2. Fatigue
3. Pacing and Leading
4. Embedding Commands
## 1. Focus
"Focus the participant's gaze on a single object."
In seduction's case, the object is your eyes. Establish direct eye contact and maintain it.
## 2. Fatigue
"The tired feeling someone might get from looking at the same thing for a long time."
Curtail the environment to mitigate distractions. Focus the conversation on only you two. Knowing fatigue is likely, maintain eye contact and readilly provide a source of relief. While speaking, brush your hair or contract your biceps: this will shift attention away from your eyes, but keep it on you.
## 3. Pacing and Leading
"Bring attention to the trance-like state and using it to further the state."
Bring someone's awareness to what they are doing or how they're making you feel. If possible, turn the observation into a compliment. After providing relief, resume eye contact and thank your partner for listening to you, for instance.
## 4. Embedding Commands
Subtlety is the key to avoid breaking the spell and dismantling the trance.
Use "I" statements during the command. Instead of "You need to give me a raise," you may want to say "I have thoroughly enjoyed my time working here and, given that I am hoping to grow within this company, I'd appreciate the chance to discuss my salary."
This embeds multiple ideas all at once.
