Use NLP Submodalities to change how you think |

Page 2 of 6Now one thing that often happens when we start using sub-modalities is that some people get confused between changing the content and changing the submodalities of the image, so here are a few examples: |

|
Imagine an image floating in space a meter directly in front of you. The image is a meter square, and consists of yourself standing on a beach, on a sunny day. Changing the submodality for location, involves moving the image from its position in front of you, either forward, backwards, up, down, or left and right, or any combination of these, but without changing the picture itself. Changing the size means keeping the picture in place, but shrinking it or enlarging it. Changing the brightness can be a particularly difficult submodality to work with, depending upon the type of image you are working with, due to the fact that it is difficult to not change the content of the image. Imagine trying to turn the brightness up on an image of a candlelit dinner. Shifting the brightness may just not be a useful thing to do in this case, but for many exercises, brightness is a very valuable submodality to work with. |

So let's try one shift to get the ball rolling: Remember a time that makes you feel really good, and as you visualize this, notice where in space the image is. Now take the image and push it off into the distance, ensuring that the image stays the same size, and just gets further away (the image will appear smaller simply because it's further away). How does that memory make you feel now? Now take the image and bring it slowly towards yourself, aim for around half the distance between your nose and its original position. How does that memory make you feel now? And before you finish, move the image back to its original place. |
