The power of suggestion, known as hypnosis, involved guiding someone into a state of heightened receptivity, making them more susceptible to external influence. The mind trick powers wielded by those who could use the Force, specifically users of it, shared similarities with hypnotic techniques. Certain species, for instance the Diathim and the Maelibi, possessed innate talents for hypnosis. It was also possible to use hypnosis on yourself. As an example, Cray Mingla employed hypnosis, along with drug treatments, to fight off sleep. Furthermore, hypnosis could be employed to deeply embed information within a person's memory, a technique referred to as hypno-imprinting. Items capable of inducing hypnosis could also be manufactured. As an illustration, during the Clone Wars, the Gungan named Rish Loo presented a hypnotic necklace to Boss Lyonie, thereby controlling him.
