📜 PRINCIPLES OF TECHNIQUES FOR ALTERING YOUR BODY’S KINESTHETIC EXPERIENCE #
- The Brain as a Coincidence Detector
- The brain learns sequences of events that occur close together in space and time
- This is why drugs reliably produce certain states - they anchor physiological responses
- By recreating the sensory cues associated with a drug state, one can recreate the state without the drug
- Chunking Down Experiences
- Breaking down the transition into a state into small, manageable steps makes it easier to recreate
- Aim for around 5 chunks that capture the full transition into the state
- Focus on primary sensations (warmth, tingling, etc.) rather than evaluative labels
- Submodalities
- Submodalities are the finer qualities of our internal representations
- Adjusting submodalities allows fine-tuning and intensifying states
- Visual, auditory, and kinesthetic submodalities can all be modified
🗨️ GUIDING CLIENTS IN TECHNIQUES FOR ALTERING YOUR BODY’S KINESTHETIC EXPERIENCE #
- Sitting by side so you can perceive nuances in facial expression, gestures, and coloration of the skin and not stay in the way of a client who is accessing their images and creating metaphors in front of them.
- Modulate your voice and speak slowly and melodically.
- Be interested in client exploration.
- Repeat the client’s words using his voice delivery. For instance, when the client spoke about an exciting event, his face lightened up, his words speeded up and his tone of voice was higher. As a professional, you are, to match his expression or attend acting class to learn essentials.
- Connect the question and experience with coordinating conjunction and/as/when.
💧 TECHNIQUES FOR ALTERING YOUR BODY’S KINESTHETIC EXPERIENCE SCRIPT BASED ON EXPLORATION OF VLADIMIR KLIMSA #
“The brain is a wonderful organ. It starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get into the office.” - Robert Frost
Vlad: “Hello, What I can facilitate for you today?”
Client: “I have seen ▶️ Youtube - Derren Brown Makes A Man Drunk - Trick of the Mind and observed that there is a technique to access the state of enjoying myself without consuming any substance and would like to learn this process.”
Vlad: “I would like to ask you: What is your favorite drink? imagine and remember what you felt first - warmth, tingling, relaxation… and where on your body. The sensation starts somewhere and spreads to somewhere else. The sensation decreases or increases by the number of turns per second. The sensation can turn into another one.”
Client:: “Cider. I feel bubbles touch my nose, coolness, and refreshment sliding over my tongue down to my throat, continuing to my stomach. I start to feel a warm sensation in my stomach and after I feel warmth going up towards my head, lightness, and tingling.”
Vlad: “What did you feel first: warmth, lightness, tingling?”
Client:: “I think the lightness comes first, then warmth, then tingling.”
Vlad: “Do all the sensations occur in the same place?”
Client:: “My head feels light, then I feel warmth in my cheeks and ears, then tingling under my eyes and in my hands.”
Vlad: “And then what?”
Client:: “Then I feel pleasant warmth and weight in my hands and stomach. My eyes start to smile.”
Vlad: “Okay the warmth has gone down into your stomach and hands and you feel the change in your eyes. You can describe the change in your eyes by kinesthetic sensations: warmth, wetness, tingling, vibration, weight…”
Client:: “I feel warmth in my eyes and I perceive things in more detail.”
Vlad: “Okay. Let’s go over you feel the lightness going up towards your head, you feel the warmth in your cheeks and ears, and then you feel the tingling under your eyes. You feel the warmth going down towards your stomach and your hands, warmth in your eyes and you perceive things in more detail. I would like to know: do you notice any changes in the auditory or visual channel as you feel the sensations?”
Client:: “Once I feel the warmth in my ears I hear more clearly and can separate the noise from my surroundings, once the warmth has spread to my stomach I can see more clearly and in more detail.”
Vlad: “What changes when you hear more clearly and when you perceive things with more clarity and detail?”
Client:: “I feel that I am coming in and this makes the heat spread. When I perceive things with more clarity and detail I feel united with the world.”
Vlad: “Anything else? I notice that you have experienced the state.”
Client:: “It is not so strong, but it is real.”
Vlad: “To make it stronger you have to repeat the sequence, make it faster, or add elements. I am going to ask you to feel more intensely. Imagine feeling the bubbles touch your nose, coolness, and refreshment sliding over your tongue down to your throat, continuing to your stomach. Start to feel a warm sensation in your stomach and after feel warmth going up towards your head, lightness, and tingling. Feel the warmth in your cheeks and ears and notice that you can hear more clearly and separate the background noise. You feel the tingling under your eyes and as the warmth spreads to your stomach and hands you notice the warmth in your eyes causing them to smile. I am going to ask you to feel the lightness rise more intensely towards your head, feel the warmth in your cheeks and ears, and notice that you can hear more clearly and separate the background noise. You feel the tingling under your eyes and as the warmth spreads to your stomach and hands you notice the warmth in your eyes causing them to smile. I am going to ask you to feel the lightness rise more intensely towards your head, feel the warmth in your cheeks and ears, and notice that you can hear more clearly and separate the background noise. You feel the tingling under your eyes and as the warmth spreads to your stomach and hands you notice the warmth in your eyes causing them to smile. Has anything changed?”
Client:: “Wov. Now that’s magic.”
Vlad: “Now I’m going to ask you to do it faster. Start from the lightness to the smile in the eyes in real-time and go through the sequence faster and faster until you feel that you are in an optimal state.”
Client:: “I feel the ringing in my ears that intensifies everything.”
Vlad: “I want you back here and now! Now let’s add elements to make the experience more enjoyable. What is it that you don’t like in your experience? "
Client:: “I must know when I feel dizzy and heaviness in my body that is like underneath something bigger than me, I am overwhelmed.”
Vlad: “I am going to ask you to move the speed of dizziness slower, lower the temperature in your stomach and face to an optimal level, put the light sparks on your body, and see if any change has occurred.”
Client:: “Can I do it by myself? What a surprise.”
Vlad: “You can do it wherever and whenever you want alone or with partners. And you can experiment with different kinesthetics. Each time when you do it the process will be faster and faster. Now you have to learn to return to your common state for the occasions when you need it. I am going to ask you to feel the drops of cold shower running on your skin and calm down from your head to your stomach. "
Client:: “Fantastic.”
Vlad: “I learned this process from Steve and Connirae Andreas. To connect deeply you might consider the Core transformation method by Connirae Andreas. Allow me to guide you in the next 30 minutes.”
Client: “Ok. Let’s go for it.”
Client: “Something had changed. I can feel more relaxed now and connected with my inner me. Thanks very much.”
Vlad: “You are welcome. From the state of deep connection that radiates through, transforms, and enriches your initial quest. How do you feel about yourself now and in the future?”
Client: “I am my body and my body is me. I am in a relationship with everyone and this relationship starts with me. I have learned new ways which enhance my life. Thanks very much.”
Vlad: “That’s good to hear. Good luck.”
👣 THE BASIC PROCESS OF TECHNIQUES FOR ALTERING YOUR BODY’S KINESTHETIC EXPERIENCE #
1. Elicitation #
Kinesthetic Sequence
- Identify 5-6 distinct kinesthetic sensations experienced when entering the kinesthetic state
- Focus on specific physical sensations, not evaluative labels
- Note the sequence and location of sensations
Example sequence:
- Lightness in the brainstem
- Warmth in brainstem
- Vibration in brainstem
- Tightness around eyes (“bandit’s mask”)
- Tingling inside upper lip
- Warmth spreading from esophagus to the solar plexus
Other Submodality Shifts
- For each kinesthetic step, identify accompanying changes in visual and auditory experience
- Note any changes in visual acuity, focus, color, etc.
- Note any changes in auditory acuity, internal dialogue, etc.
Example:
- Increased auditory acuity with brainstem sensations
- Increased visual acuity and awareness of movement after eye tightness
2. Redesign #
Adjusting Submodalities
- Experiment with intensifying or diminishing aspects of the state
- Try spreading sensations to new areas
- Add new submodalities like sparkles or color
Examples:
- Spreading brainstem sensations further up/down the neck
- Changing eye tightness to tingling
- Adding visual sparkles to intensify the state
Adjusting the Sequence
- Try reordering the steps to alter the state
- Note which changes intensify or diminish the experience
Example:
- Moving lip tingling earlier in sequence intensified the state
- Feeling eye tightness first diminished the state
Compressing the Sequence
- Practice running through the sequence faster
- Eventually accessing the first sensation will automatically trigger the rest
3. Accessing the State #
- Go through the optimized sequence to enter the state at will
- Use the technique to access the state without substances
💪 MEDITATION TECHNIQUES FOR ALTERING YOUR BODY’S KINESTHETIC EXPERIENCE #
Accessing a Calm, Centered State #
Find a comfortable position and close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths to begin settling your mind and body.
Now, we’ll go through a sequence of sensations to access a state of calm-centeredness. As we progress, notice how each step affects your overall state.
-
Breath Awareness Focus on your breath. Notice the cool air entering your nostrils as you inhale… and the warm air leaving as you exhale. With each breath, feel yourself becoming more relaxed.
-
Relaxing Scalp and Forehead Bring your attention to the top of your head. Imagine a warm, soothing light gently spreading across your scalp. Feel the muscles in your forehead softening and releasing any tension.
-
Releasing Jaw Tension Now, notice your jaw. Allow it to relax, maybe even letting your lips part slightly. Feel a sense of heaviness in your jaw as tension melts away.
-
Shoulders Dropping Bring awareness to your shoulders. As you exhale, let them drop away from your ears. Feel a wave of relaxation flowing down your arms to your fingertips.
-
Warming Solar Plexus Focus on the area just below your ribcage. Imagine a warm, golden light growing here, spreading a feeling of comfort and safety throughout your torso.
-
Grounding Through Feet Finally, bring your attention to the soles of your feet. Imagine roots growing from your feet, connecting you deeply to the earth. Feel a sense of stability and groundedness.
Now, take a moment to notice how your entire body feels. You’ve entered a state of calm-centeredness.
To intensify this state:
- Brighten the warm light in your solar plexus
- Deepen the feeling of heaviness in your jaw and shoulders
- Strengthen the sensation of roots from your feet
To maintain this state:
- Take slow, deep breaths
- Mentally repeat a calming phrase like “I am centered and at peace”
Remember, you can access this state anytime by going through this sequence. With practice, you’ll be able to enter this calm, centered state more quickly and easily.
When you’re ready to end the meditation, take a deep breath, wiggle your fingers and toes, and slowly open your eyes.
