Discover insights about yourself through this guided visualization exercise.

Inner Knowing Explorer: Discovering How You Know What You Know

This exercise helps you explore the subtle differences between how you remember the past and imagine the future. Your brain uses specific sensory qualities—called submodalities—to distinguish between memories of what happened and visions of what will happen. By becoming aware of these patterns, you gain insight into your inner knowing and can enhance both memory recall and future planning.

Step 1 of 6

Select Two Memories

Take a moment to think of two distinct experiences: 1) A certain past memory - something you absolutely know happened (like your breakfast this morning), and 2) A future imagination - something you plan or hope will happen (like an upcoming event).

Describe your certain past memory briefly

Describe your future imagination briefly

Step 2 of 6

Visual Submodalities

Close your eyes and recall each memory. Notice the visual qualities of each mental image.

Is the past memory brighter or dimmer than the future one?

Where is each image in your mental space?

Which feels closer to you?

Compare the size of each image

Which is sharper and more detailed?

Step 3 of 6

Auditory Submodalities

Now focus on any sounds or internal dialogue associated with each memory.

Which has louder sounds or inner voice?

Where do you hear each sound coming from?

Compare the pitch

Compare the speed of speech/sound

Describe the tone quality of each

Step 4 of 6

Kinesthetic Submodalities

Notice the physical sensations and emotions connected to each memory.

Which creates stronger physical sensations?

Where do you feel each one in your body?

Compare the temperature

Are the feelings static or moving?

What quality does each feeling have?

Step 5 of 6

Timeline Orientation

Notice how your mind organizes time spatially.

When you think of the past, which direction does it seem to be?

When you think of the future, which direction does it seem to be?

Describe your internal timeline - how does your mind arrange past, present, and future?

Does your timeline run through your body or do you observe it from outside?

Step 6 of 6

Certainty Coding

Your brain has a way of 'knowing' what's real vs. imagined. Let's discover your certainty code.

How certain are you that the past memory is real? (1-10)

How certain are you that the future imagination will happen? (1-10)

What is the MAIN difference between how your mind codes 'this happened' vs. 'this might happen'?

Which seems to be your primary certainty code?
