“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away.” Philip K. Dick
📄 ABSTRACT #
The NLP MasterCLASS AHA & Practice Group was offering practice elicitating submodalities of beliefs, get questions answered and suggestion.
🔬 SUBMODALITIES OF BELIEFS #
Submodalities are the specific qualities of our internal representations of things. They can include things like the size, shape, color, location, brightness, and movement of our internal images. They can also include the tone, volume, and pace of our internal voices.
⚠️ WHY ARE SUBMODALITIES IMPORTANT? #
Submodalities can have a big impact on our emotions and behaviors. For example, if we have a limiting belief about ourselves, the submodalities of that belief can contribute to the way we feel and act. If we can change the submodalities of a belief, we can often change the belief itself.
🛠️ HOW TO ELICIT SUBMODALITIES OF BELIEFS #
There are a few different ways to elicit the submodalities of a belief. One way is to ask the person to close their eyes and visualize the belief. Then, you can ask them questions about the submodalities of the image, such as:
- What size is the image?
- Where is the image located?
- What color is the image?
- Is the image moving?
- What is the tone of voice of the internal voice?
- What is the volume of the internal voice?
- How fast is the internal voice speaking?
✏️ EXERCISE VARIATION BY VLADIMIR KLIMSA FROM ORIGINAL TINA TAYLOR AND STEVE CRABB #
Having 20 minutes uninterrupted time, sitting in comfortable position describe your strong belief in your head. What it is like? Now allow yourself to relax, breathe in, breathe out, with each and every breath noticing your body is mooooore and mooooore reeeelaaaaaaaax. That’s right. Thinking about strong belief notice the sensation in your body associated with it. Where it is located? What’s it’s size? It’s warm or cold? It’s solid or amorphous? It’s heavy or light? What do yo you see? Where it’s the location of the visual representation? What’s the size compare to life? Point out how far it is. Is there any movement? If so how fast it’s moving compare to life? What is the tone of voice of the internal voice? What is the volume of the internal voice? How fast is the internal voice speaking? Who’s voice it is? Now do the some for your doubt. While you are doing I will chant and facilitate the elicitation by gesturing the symbols which will facilitate the process.
