1. For the first 30 seconds, slowly move the bottom half of your
body into the same position as your client. Continue to adjust this portion of your physiology to maintain a match with your client should he move during the exercise.
Rapport is a state of unconscious responsiveness. Rapport is when the subject responds to you non-verbally by unconsciously matching your body movements and tonal qualities. When rapport is established a Practitioner has unconscious responsiveness from the subject and less interference from the conscious mind.
In NLP states human beings build their individual models through a process of neurological (f1) and then linguistic (f2) transforms. After being represented in FA (first access) the information is transformed through the f2 processing to form a linguistic internal representation that is far removed from the FA map. The linguistic internal representation is then transformed further to the verbal expression.
So where NLP began it’s life as a means of modelling excellence, training courses soon became a very active part of the NLP adventure, followed by NLP application where NLP trained people apply their NLP tools for commercial and personal benefit.
1. Identify the external triggers for an unresourceful state. These could be
visual, auditory, tactile, smell or taste stimuli.
Anchoring refers to the process of capturing a specific state with a specific trigger. With anchoring you can isolate and manoeuvre portions of FA at different contexts. An anchor acts as a trigger or switch for a state. The premise is, if at the peak of a state a sensory anchor is applied, the two become linked. An anchor can be a touch, a movement, a tonal quality. It must be unique, distinct and induced at the peak of a state to be successful. In NLP, Practitioners use anchoring to capture resource states either from a client’s personal history or present state with the intent of linking them to present and future contexts, where the resources would be needed. The co-creators of NLP noticed Milton Erickson and Virginia Satir did this process using tonal anchors. The theory of anchoring is often explained as stimulus response theory, which grew from Pavlov’s work. The NLP Practitioner can also anchor natural states as they arise in a client so that the Practitioner can enable the client to access these states later in the session or in later sessions.
Elicitation of TimeLine 1
One of the first things to do when conducting TimeLine work is to discover how your client organises their submodalities of time. It will be useful if you have also elicited an involuntary unconscious signal. As you elicit a TimeLine, calibrate the client’s non-verbal behaviour.
TimeLines emerged in NLP in the early 1980s. TimeLines emerged through different sources. Leslie Cameron Bandler while researching NLP Meta Programs made the distinction in people who are “Through Time†and others who are “In Time†(see NLP Meta Programs). John Grinder and Robert Dilts (through separate and independent research) developed the idea of a spatial TimeLine, where people walked backwards into representations from the past and forwards into representations of the future. The spatial TimeLine is a powerful metaphor for linear (temporal) association of memories. The spatial TimeLine forms the basis of powerful NLP interventions designed to resolve limiting beliefs and situations with heavy emotional content, which are past-memory driven.
