This pattern is the most powerful pattern that i’ve ever developed. I have had numerous client go to numerous therapists and NLP experts before they came to me and i use this pattern with them. without exception is causes the change everytime. For those of you new to NLP – this is going to appear like a simple collapse anchors pattern – far from it. this is a kinaesthetic CHAIN of anchors pattern with a strategy change added in so it fires in the right situations.
From a person perspective this i modified from something called ‘the NLP secret’ and from John McWhirter (A scottish NLP trainer that Steve Andreas personally claims to be so good that McWhirter is the only person Steve Andreas feels he’s learnt anything from since the inception of NLP)
Recently my girlfriend of 10 years decided it was time for her to leave this relationship [due to my unwillingness to have children yet] and obviously i was in a majorley bad way, but after doing this pattern – nothing. i have been perfectly fine ever since. the power of this pattern should NEVER be underestimated.
let me know what you think.
Troy’s Hyper Awareness Pattern.
[The pattern that can change ALL negative states, feelings and emotions]
Pre-frame:
*physiology creates emotion
*both the positive and negative states require a process. Most people are only aware of the negative process.
*The ultrafine micro-distinctions are what make this pattern work not the larger macro distinctions and posture changes.
*Do not rush this process. The longer this takes the better. I have found that the more experienced at this process you become the longer it takes.
*Do not change the steps or try and streamline or play with the process.
*Both the negative state and the resource state should be accessed as close to 100% as possible. This amazing process will not work whatsoever if you do it from a mild state access, by “remembering” the state but not actually feeling it, or if you just analyse the state from an analytical perspective about the state. Just fully and totally access the state as much as possible. This is why the process can take longer the more experienced you get at it.
ONE:
Fully access the unresourceful/negative/unwanted state. Do this by running the strategy (problematic situation in which it occurs) in your mind over a few times. Give this negative state a name so that you know what it is. Fully access this with VAKOGAd. Do whatever you need to do to get into this state. Repeat internal dialogue over and over in your mind make the right images, imagine the right things happening, say to yourself what you need to say. Whatever it is you do. As you do this start to become hyper aware of your entire body and all its kinaesthetics, tensions, sensations ,posture and physical emotions.
As this state becomes intense “ freeze” your posture and body totally. Don’t move a muscle (this is essential). Now become aware of how you were standing/sitting, posture, head tilt, directional focus of your eyes, breathing pattern,
now become hyper aware of your muscle tensions. [whilst keeping the negative state fully by running the mental memories/movies/chatter] Really take note of the kinaesthetics. Any/all the body emotions, pressures, feelings, everything. Over every square inch of your skin and body. Notice all the micro-sensations that make up this unresourceful state and posture.
Start at the top of the head and work your way down the front and up the back, constantly becoming more and more aware of the micro-nuances that you’ve never noticed before that actually comprise this unresourceful state.
Once you are fully and totally feeling this unresourceful state 100% (or close to) – you are solidly feeling all the kinaesthetics, emotions, body sensations, holding the posture frozen, doing what you need to do in your head , saying what you need to say and keeping your eyes around the correct place & focus – create an anchor. The best moment to do this is if you run the strategy/situation through in your mind and for a split-second there’s an intense moment where your heart has an extra beat – try and set the anchor at that moment. If not, it’s not that important. (You can create an anchor by holding your thumb and forefinger on one hand together)
TWO:
now stop the internal dialogue chatter and images and spend a couple of minutes genuinely pondering the question “ if I had complete and total amnesia for everything up until this moment in my life how would I know to call this exact combination of body kinaesthetics and posture [Name you gave unresourceful state]? – this is important. Really genuinely ponder the question until the body sensations feel “ weird” or “odd” – breathe deeply and fully into the body sensations and keep asking the question over and over “ how did I decide that this exact body feeling means X?” (sure, it doesn’t feel good but how exactly did I decide that this feeling means X to me? It could have just as easily been any other negative emotion.) – think about this question until you get a little separation of mind and kinaesthetic happening. A tree-falling-in-the-woods / the-sound-of-one-hand-clapping type feeling about the “weirdness of the body sensations”.
Breakstate. Solidly break the state.
THREE:
Now decide on a resource state. The resource state should be in a similar context but where you felt the total opposite to the unresourceful state (example both states are ‘with people’ or ‘doing a project’ or learning’ or ‘being social’ etc).
[***this is the one people struggle to do properly because when they are in a good state they are usually so externally focused that they are even less aware of the body kinaesthetics and sensations. This resource state will have almost as many fine distinctions as the negative state. The micro-distinctions of this resource state need to be as thoroughly elicited as the negative state was. Remember- it is the micro-distinctions that will make the big change in the end***]
fully access the resourceful/positive/wanted state. Do this by running the strategy (idealistic memories in which they occur) in your mind over a few times. Give this positive state a name so that you know what it is. Fully access this with VAKOGAd. Do whatever you need to do to get into this state. Repeat internal dialogue over and over in your mind, step into the right images, imagine the right things happening, say to yourself what you need to say. Reminisce about similar experiences , Whatever it is you do. As you do this start to become hyper aware of your entire body and all its kinaesthetics, muscle tensions or softenings, sensations ,posture and physical feelings that make up the resource state.
As this state becomes intense “ freeze” your posture and body totally. Don’t move a muscle (this is essential). Now become aware of how you were standing/sitting, posture, head tilt, directional focus of your eyes, breathing pattern,
now become hyper aware of your muscle tensions. [whilst keeping the positive resource state fully by running the mental memories/movies/internal dialougue] Really take note of the kinaesthetics. Any/all the body emotions, pressures, feelings, everything. Over every square inch of your skin and body. Notice all the micro-sensations that make up this positive resourceful state and posture. Is your back straighter? Shoulders back? Head up? Breathing deeper?
Start at the top of the head and work your way down the front and up the back, constantly becoming more and more aware of the micro-nuances that you’ve never noticed before that actually comprise this positive resourceful state.
Once you are fully and totally feeling this positive resourceful state 100% (or close to) – you are solidly feeling all the kinaesthetics, emotions, body sensations, holding the posture frozen, doing what you need to do in your head , saying what you need to say, aware of the difference in your focus of vision, posture, facial muscles.. everything – create an anchor. If you want you can find similar memories that had this feeling attached to them and also run that strategy/situation through in your mind until the state is even more intense (You can create an anchor by holding your thumb and forefinger on the other hand together)
break state. Do a solid break state.
FOUR:
Now access the negative state again by firing the negative anchor and stepping in to the correct physiology, internal chatter, posture and mental thoughts.
Now, “ what is different? In what ways is this unresourceful state different from the resource state?” pay attention to all the micro-distinctions. In what ways are all the body kinaesthetics different? Go head to toe noticing all the micro-differences in skin sensations, kinaesthetics, notice all the differences. How was this negative state different from the resource state? Is one looking down and looking up? Does one have a feeling in peripherals and the other a feeling in the forehead? Notice all the differences. Try to stay in the negative state whilst doing this. You should also begin to notice new fine distinctions about the negative state that you didn’t notice earlier.
FIVE:
Now fire the resource anchor just once. And as the state begins to change now start to notice and describe all the similarities between the two states. “ how are these two states similar?” in what ways are these two states similar? You are the same person, maybe they happen in the same situations? What is similar in the body kinaesthetics of both states? Do they both perfect your posture? Do they both affect the way you stand? Do they both affect the direction of your focus? Are they similar in that they both affect your heart rate but in different ways? They both affect your breathing pattern or mental clarity? List all the similarities.
SIX:
Now, fire the resource anchor a couple of times and fully step into the feeling of the resource. Really access this state powerfully – as close to 100% as you can. Use all the right internal dialogue, imagine the right situations etc. Notice all the body kinaesthetics.
Now, whilst maintaining this resource state how is this positive resource state different from the unresourceful state. “In what ways is this positive state different from the negative state? (holding the positive anchor if you need) list all the micro-distinction differences you can.
Break state. Completely shake off the state.
SEVEN:
Now access the negative /unresourceful state by firing anchor and stepping in to the negative state – and just as you begin to feel the negative posture and state fire the positive resource anchor a couple of times, but this time become hyper aware of how your entire physiology slowly, naturally and automatically begins to change its stance, posture and kinaesthetics. Really take a mental note of the physiological changes that happen from negative to positive. – what are you aware of happening to your body feelings? How does the focus of your eyes change? What happens to your mental clarity and thought patterns as the physiology slowly adjusts itself automatically because you fired the positive state anchor? What micro-muscle changes are you aware of?
Breakstate. Completely shake it all off.
EIGHT:
Now, access the negative state and posture again by firing the negative and then as you are beginning to feel the negative, fire the positive anchor a few times – but this time, try and maintain/freeze the posture of the negative state. Notice what happens to your internal mental and emotional state when frozen in the negative posture by firing a positive resource anchor. Notice everything you notice. Take a few minutes to do this.
Breakstate. Completely shake it off.
NINE:
Next, access the negative again by firing negative anchor and getting into the unresourceful posture & state – as this happens fire/hold the RESOURCE anchor a few times and allow the body posture to naturally make all the adjustments towards the positive resource state, BUT as it is making those unconscious automatic adjustments repeat the negative internal dialogue over and over in your mind, see yourself in the situations that used to create the old negative state, imagine the right things happening, say to yourself what you usually need to say . Mentally do whatever it is you used to do to create the negative state [whilst firing the positive anchor and allowing the body, posture and kinesthetics to naturally automatically move towards the positive state]. Notice what happens and how your feelings change.
Breakstate.
TEN:
now, begin to access the negative state by firing the unresourceful anchor but very quickly afterwards fire the positive resource anchor a few times and genuinely completely access the positive state to its fullness – then breakstate. Repeat this conditioning process a couple more times.
ELEVEN:
And finally, run the old movies/situations in your mind that used to create the negative/unresourceful feelings (strategies) but only fire the positive resource anchor as you are mentally running those situations. See yourself acting/being/feeling/behaving the way you want to be and fire the resource anchor.
This will be a complete and permanent change. It is a full emotional/kinaesthetic chain of anchors that is permanently installed in the strategy where it’s needed. There is EXTREMELY little that cannot be fully changed using this technique.
