Anchoring Basics

Anchoring allows you to feel any state or emotion any time you want, and to help others do the same. Anchoring is based on the Stimulus/Response effect pioneered by Russian researcher, Ivan Pavlov in 1904.

Any time a person is at the peak of an intense, associated state, if you provide a unique internal or external stimulus, you’ll create a neurological association that you can instantly trigger by simply providing the stimulus again. This allows you to tap into past, positive resources and to link them to the future for ultimate success.

There are Four Basic Steps to Anchoring

1. Recall a past, vivid experience.
2. Anchor at the peak.
3. Change the person's state.
4. Evoke the State using the anchor.

The Six Keys to Creating Successful Anchors:

1. The Timing of the Anchor
2. The Uniqueness of the stimulus
3. The Replication of the Stimulus
4. The Number of Times Applied
5. The Intensity of the State
6. The Physiology/Breathing accompanying the state at the time of anchoring.
