3. The context directly elicits the desired response or understanding.
4. Is what Erickson often described as, "What you know, but you don't know that you know" - a dependable involuntary response that you aren't consciously aware of.
If you review the previous examples, you will find these four elements in each one.
Creating Nonverbal Implication
1. Select the response or outcome that you want to elicit in the other person.
2. Think of a context that would naturally and powerfully elicit that response or outcome.
3. Create that context, either:
a. Behaviorally, by your own actions.
b. By "tasking," instructing the person to do a certain set of actions in a specified context in the real world.
c. Vividly and compellingly in imagination (in or out of trance).

            Nonverbal contextual implication can also be combined with verbal implication and presupposition to elicit an even more powerful response. This will usually be the case with behavioral elicitation, as it was in Erickson's last example of the overweight girl.
