Exercise 3:

Remember something from your past that makes you feel uncomfortable. Notice where the image is in space.

Notice how bright the image is, and notice whether you are in the image or viewing it through your own eyes.

Now take the image and as quickly as possible, move it far away, turn down the brightness, and quickly switch to a dissociated image. Hold the image in that position for a moment and notice how it feels, then let your mind go blank.

Now image the original image in its original form and quickly do the three shifts again, hold it, then let your mind go blank.

Repeat the shift five or six times, and then after a few moments, simply try to remember the event and see what happens. Does the image disappear into the distance on its own?

One of the reasons that this is effective is that it is very difficult for your brain to reverse all three shifts, so its difficult to get back to the beginning.

Conclusion

This Lesson covers the basics of sub-modalities, and the best way to improve is to experiment with as many of the

submodalities as possible and work out what works for you. There are many NLP exercises based around submodality shifts of various sorts, and you should be able to work out the underlying process of them. As well as adjusting the bad memories, there is nothing to stop you adjusting the good ones too (in the opposite direction obviously).

The following exercises extend on the ideas covered above:

Mommey make it go away

White Out

Swish

Compulsion Blowout

Belief Disintegrator

Belief Creator

As usual, enjoy your practice, and good luck!

Struggling

When I try to visualize something I find that it's really blurry. So blurry that whenever I try and work out how a the particular submodalities 'look' I really can't tell.

Also, if I try and move an image around, I can't get it to stay where I want, and it just moves around.

It's really frustrating. How can I make my images clearer?

Firstly, this issue comes up a lot. Surprisingly, many people think that they visualize worse than other people, but the truth is that no one really knows how well anyone else visualizes. The best thing to do is to keep practicing. When it comes to stabilizing images, practice should help you. If one of the exercises asks you a question about an images submodalities and you're not sure of the answer, then guess - you'll find that this will do fine.

Like light at the end of the tunnel

I have an unusual, but by no means unique, phobia that I'm only just getting to grips with. I tried this exercise on an unrelated memory from my childhood that definitely made me squirm when I thought of it. But now it's gone off into the distance and does all by itself whenever I think of it. I don't get that horrible feeling anymore. And it was SUCH a physical feeling. I'm starting to believe my fears can be conquered.

Good Stuff, Jenny. There is something really rewarding when you come to test a submodality change and the picture zooms off automatically.
