It underscores the importance of 1. Mow to an uptime state. Open up all of your sense receptors so thinking in lerms of resources for bridging the gap: that you can input all of the sights, sounds, sensations, etc. Assist the person in accessing the state. Think about a time when you felt HlidLing the structure without we do todav, and huw in this moment we use our "past" or our the person's having entered into that state reduces our explo- "future", how we map out reality, how much responsibility we ration so that the person just talks about it rather than re-experi- assume, etc.

Lack of accessing the state removes the person one level from the experience itself and will result in more of the 6 Stttte Ettcitatim person's theory about it rather than ihe experience,. Concept, One of the most crucial NLP skills involves the ability to 3. Elicit as pure a state as possible, if you ask for a "strong belief," effectively evoke responses, experiences, memories, etc. Ey eliciting states, beliefs, RS, submodalities emotionally significant issues, e.

TTus, in turn, allows us to replicate it e. We do not have to observe breathing. The mental pnxresses of the experience will blankly such resources, merely wishing that we could access them involve the same structure and, with less emotion, we can get too. Elicitatiun can also transform experiences by replacing old diffi- culties with new resources, I his transformation plays a crucial role 4. Express yourself coiigntently and evocatively.

In eliciting, in effective communicating, persuading, and motivating. So speak and sound in a way that accords with the "memory" to the internalized referents Lhat they have stored. Eye subject Speaking congruently will evoke the state more effec- accessing cues will provide some indication of their VAK tively. If the person gets stuck recreating the state, ask, "EX you processing- When a person takes an internal trip, give them time know anyone who can?

Tf we talk during their TDS transderivational search , them for a few minutes and did it? Allow the person time to prutt'SS. If the person doesn't seem to access the state, have them pretend. We refer to this as the "as if" frame in NLP see the pattern for "as if". Begin wiih non-specific ivordt? We can use our imagination to wonder about "think, know, understand, remember, experience," etc.

This "what would it look, sound, and feel like if Using the "as if" frame will enable us to find information coded in 7. As you notice the accessing various modalities and submodalities and to construct the of certain RSr help the person by using sensory-specific words.

If they use a visual predicate, then you can follow up wiLh a visual, "And what do you see? Use good downtime questions. Use questions that presuppose "Have you seen or heard thorn do this? The Pattern. Identify the submodatities. Once the person begins accessing, 1.

Catch a state in process and anchor it. If we stay in uptime with focus on the form and structure of the experience by getting the our sensory awareness alert to the experiences of others, we person's submodafity coding.

By accessing and anchoring those states, wo can assist that person In eliciting, wo help the person to become conscious of factors that to loam how to control his or her own subjectivity.

Here, our own patience, positive expectation, and acceptance make it 2. Ask someone to specifically remember the state. Have the person use his or her creative imagination about the components thai make up the Concept Sometimes wo or another seem unable to access a state. If we cannot reach a desired resourceful state when we need, then we will feel "stuck," i. Turn up the representations.

After coping skills. To assist with this, wTe have three foci tor accessing accessing the representations that induce a state, amplify them and inducing a resourceful state.

Wo use these processes to move to strengthen the intensity of that state. We can use our memories to "recall a drives or kicks in this state for you? What would you need to say to yourself that would crank up this state so that you sizzle? Access I lie physiology of ihe stale.

To use physiology to a A good pattern interrupt will jar consciousness so that it cannot states, we put our body into the kind of posturing, movements, cmiUntie with its current internal representations and physiology. If breathing, etc. Because our states constantly get interrupted and altered, knowing, and having 5.

Gauge ike state. If you gauged it between zero for not-at-al! Sometimes we get into men La I states and emotional Concept. Anchoring, as a pattern, provides a user-friendly version states that do nol serve us well at all. When that happens we need of Pavlovian conditioning that allows us to handle "experiences" to break state or to interrupt the pattern and stop the functioning internal, subjective experiences—memories, emotional states, of the ongoing strategy.

The process of breaking or interrupting states occurs every day Behind anchoring we recognize the principle that, neuro-linguisti- because our states of mind-and-body do not stay the same. We eally, things become linked together in our very neurology.

By When we do, we can then triggtT this or that experience state, developing awareness, this enables us to take charge of altering thought, emotJon, response by experiencing one piece of its our states and those of others. A "state" of consciousness a mind- make-up. He observed their unconditioned response to interrupt the state. To this response he then attached another trigger a bell and foimd that exposure The Pattern to the meat powder with the bell soon conditioned the dogs to salivate tu the ringing of the heJI.

They learned this response by 1, Identify the current state. What state has this person accessed? Their state of body? Change any "driving" submodality in VAK modalities. Hear it us if it came from a distance. See it in black-and- white, etc. These stimuli or anchors create our responses for thinking, emoting, etc. We begin 3, Interrupt. Joing almost anything new, different, weird, or life with a neuro-physiolugy loaded with unconditioned unexpected will interrupt a state.

Stand on your head up responses. Then, when in a responsive state e. Use the "1" hand signal for "time-nut. Look up in the sky, and ask, "Is that Halley's stimuli. These responses can become so associated in our comet? We call this a "conditioned response" because we have challenging situations. In other words, they have linked up conditioned the person to learn it. This explains the origin of our "buttons.

In general An anchor then operates as a sensory stimulus that has become so semantics we refer tn this process as a "semantic reaction. This explains the meaning of control. Recognizing that this neurological mechanism empowers meat]ing. A "meaning" consists of a neurological linkage between us to set up useful anchors, we can change "internal experiences" a stimulus and a state, hence "neuro-semantic," This generates, in states so they can serve as resources.

NLP, the formula that sets up several linguistic patterns that create the foundation for refraining meaning. This also indicates the extent to which we live in a symbolic world. Anchors function as triggers for state access. Such an association a neuro-semantk association can even Anchoring uses an element ot an experience to bring back the full become linked and conditioned in us apart from OUT conscious experience. Anchoring can occur in any sensory system and also in awareness, since this process involves the functioning of our entire the language system.

Finally, anchoring re-induces states without neuro-physiG-psychological state. This description also accounts the need to "think" ahout things. When we have accessed a state, all of our learning, memory, communication, perceptions The key anchoring factors involve: and behavior operate as state-dependent. So what? We all have anchors sel in our neurology!

And many of these connec- tions do not serve us well. They just wire us up with lots of The anchoring pattern gives us the ability to work with association "buttons" so that we.

We can also reactions to certain stimuli. We can Now we can explore these neurological linkages. Thus, the general purpose in anchoring like to change? Decide on a hehauiitr, sftafe or response you would tiki: to recreate. Behavior that pu?. This process involves asking a person or some part of unobtrusive touch, a word. Elicit a response. Ask a person to remember, imagine, or think The Pattern about a state and go back and remember it fully In eliciting the response, make sure that the person has an intense 1.

Identify a ptvbtevi or difficulty. This works especially well for e something worth anchoring. Because anchoring links a 2. Find the jwri responsible. As gestures, posture, breathing, movement, etc. Now, to the person s response add a sight part what it sought to do of positive value for you.

What did make a face or gesture , sound make a noise , sensation you seek to accomplish of importance through it? Always anchor with unique triggers, and do so in all of the sensory systems this creates redundancy which 3. Continue asking the punitive intention question. Sometimes we makes it stronger. Break state and then re-trigger the stimulus and notice objective that seems "positive. If it does, then you have anchored question until you find the positive intention. When "n eg a Live" behaviors occur, we typically ihink of Kehavioral school, it is also now seen as encompassing several them as driven by a "bad" intention.

Most psychotherapy operates other fields: from that assumption as well. In NLP, we start from an entirely different basis. We deal with problematic emotions and behaviors family systems Virginia Satir by assuming that they serve or served some useful purpose of existential humanistic psychology Perls, Rogers value and importance.

This attitude lies at the heart of reframing: Lrjinspersonal psychology Assagioli, Masiow I very behavior has a positive value—in some way, for some the neuro-sciences purpose, at some time. We then have more control over it. From the beginning, it sought to apply modeling princi- ples lo how things work.

Parts We have identified ten Mcta-pattems that enable us to run She Patterns of Transformation that follow. Paring or Matching 3.

Anchoring ought to be inside taking care of business. Accessing Positive In ten lion feel conflicted. This may take many forms. We may feel: indeci- sive, anxious, inwardly torn, stuck, procrastinating, etc.

In this chapter we offer numerous patterns for the resolution of such conflicts—strategies that enable us to become more integrated, whole, and at peace with ourselves. As an aside about the term "parl s ," we use it here simply Lo designate ft facet within the whole system, and do not use the word in an elementalistk way.

Nor do we actually or literally think of these "parts" as separate entities. This language simply maps out that different facets within the system can create problems and distress for the system.

Acorns a resourceful state. Ask the person to think about the state that they would prefer to operate from, "What would you Concept. A "state of consciousness" always involves both mind- like to experience when in that situation? When we experience two states, which radically differ "What would you sec, hear, feel, smell, taste? What words relaxing and tensing, feeling afraid and joyful , operating at the would you say to yourself? We can access and anchor each 4.

Amplify nut! As the person accesses the resourceful with different anchors and then lire them off simultaneously. When response. We cannot think-and-feel calm and tense simultane- they eventually reach a peak in this resourceful state, anchor it. So, when we communicate to our nervous syslem to do both, this usually results in a "collapsing" of the anchors and 5. Again break at ate. Sometimes this results in confusion, disorientation, inter- ruption, and even some slight amnesia.

Fire off I he imresourcefid anchor and tlien mtmediatehffire off the resourceful anchor. Hold each anchor and let tlie neurological This technology enables us to change a response that does not processing continue—asking the person to "just experience this work very well.

By using this Collapsing Anchors pattern, we state fully " Hold the positive anchor longer than the negative pair a powerful negative anchor with a powerful positive one.

This technique works especially well for changing 7. Test your work. After you have broken state again, fire the feelings and behaviors programs resulting from prior experi- anchor for the unresourceful state or ask the person to try and ences in other words, old, unuseful anchors.

It also utilizes recall their previous negative state to see if it returns. If it does "unconscious" processes and therefore does not necessitate that not, you have succeeded in collapsing that anchor.

We use this pattern when we have two states conflicting and sabotaging each 8. Refresh the resourceful anchor. As a good ecology process, go other. Or, if we have an unresouiceful state an old anchored back and re-access the resourcefi. Invite, elicit, or just catch a Concept. When one "part" or facet of a person enters into a person in, a negative state and set an anchor for it. To do this conflict-causing relationship with another part in such a way that with their conscious awareness, invite them to talk about it it initiates self-interrupting and self-sabotaging priKesses, we while including the qualities of their sights, sounds, sensations.

Frequently, people will live for years or even a lifetime with such internal Z Break state. Stop, interrupt and have them yet that state aside. This, of course, wastes tremendous amounts of psychic energy, sabotages effectiveness, and creates iricongruency.

Make a dad. Ask each part if it will actually cooperate for a change that. With it we ran pitt a stop to the conflict between the specified amount of time.

If either part becomes dissatisfied for parts and negotiate a peace settlement. With this approach, we any reason, let it signal you that the time has come to renego- view each "part" as having a valid purpose and function, one that tiate.

The process involves first finding and accessing each part, discov- 13 Tlie Six-step Refrtiming Pattern ering their purpose, role, and positive intention, finding out how they interrupt each other, and inviting each of them to sequence Concept As we get "organized" in the way we think, feel, speak, their activities so that they don't interrupt the other. These parts operate not only to accomplish outcomes, but they also The Pattern establish our meanings.

And when our meanings become habitual, they drop oat of our conscious awareness. As we no longer 1. Identify the parts. So behind every belief, emotion, behavior, habit, etc, we have some "part" organized to accomplish something of value due 2. Determine I he desired outcome. What does each part want? And what meta-outcomes do each obtain by the first level outcomes? Specify ill VAK terms. Over time these parts become more and more streamlined or automatic and function as our basic frames of reference.

This saves 3. Bngitge the parts. Check to see that each pa rt understands and us time, trouble, energy, etc. Assist each part Yet this can also create major problems for us. As things change, in realizing that the problem lies in how each interrupts the our organized "parts" can come become increasingly irrelevant, other hence, a sequencing issue. Determine the positive intent If step 2 did not elicit and heard," then we might have installed a "non-assertive" program identify the positive value of each part, then continue asking based on those old meanings.

Initially, that part functioned appro- each part, "What positive function do you serve? This technology becomes useful until the parts reach an agreement. This pattern works well. That, in turn, creates better integration, self-appreciation, and harmony. Our 4.

Individuals frequently develop unconscious parts or similar positive intention for you, does each have resources that facets of themselves which disagree with eadi other.

You also get a more developed understanding of the Meta-model presented with Hall's mastery of linguistics Cf. Hall's The Secret of Magic. What will fascinate people is to note that the whole book was written in E-Prime, i.

Since NLP deals with mental "maps" rather than the "territory", identity or reality, such language creates more options and possibilities. However, for those interested in fundamental issues in epistemology, it might be worthwhile to explore Bernard Lonergan's monumental "Insight" or Philip McShane's "A History of Tongue".

All NLP practitioners can benefit from such a handy and informative reference, at such a reasonable price. As previously commented, you would understand it more if you have either read User's Manual for the Brain Bob G. Bodenhamer and L. Michael Hall or attended an NLP course. There is so much more than you would expect, including information on Meta-Programs, just about every NLP pattern and then some. I use it as a reference and reminder for coaching.
