Lecture 21.4 Resource Anchoring -
Using the Positive Trigger
Hi there and welcome back
and in the previous lesson we
looked at setting a resource
anchor,
And what I shared with you was a
slightly modified resource anchoring
technique for giving to clients if you
haven’t studied NLP in depth. However
to get the very best results you would
need to develop your NLP skills as an
NLP practitioner, skills such as sensory
acuity and peripheral vision for
example. That said once  the client has
mastered the trigger and positive
emotion response, they can plan how
to use it in future events.  Ok so this technique requires you to
This is the tenth and final stage and I
have adapted it to work in the most
effective way, taking elements from the
ring of power and a healing white light
script from my hypnosis training. Let's
take a look  
Ok so this is a method that combines
elements from chaining and collapse
anchoring.
Chaining refers to linking states and
anchors to pull someone from a stuck
state to a more empowered one and
collapse anchoring refers to squashing
negative states with overwhelmingly
positive ones. 
OK so what I have done is to give you a
tool that will be effective without
needing to study a full NLP Practitioner
program, of course if you want to know
more about NLP then we have a full
NLP Practitioner program certified by
the iGNLP which you can take. 
mark two rings on the floor. About 2 ft
in diameter. You can do this outside
with some chalk or just stand on a
piece of paper if you are inside. 
First, the client should move into the
first ring.  They should get themself into
a relaxed state and imagine seeing a
video or projection of their problem
scenario. For our previous example this
would be speaking publicly. So the
client should describe the experience
and rank the strength of feelings from
one to ten. 
Then they should  step into ring one.
Once again when they are there they
need to close their eyes.

Lecture 21.4 Resource Anchoring -
Using the Positive Trigger (Continued)
This time they are going to use the
triggers or anchors  they practiced.
This should put them in a really positive
state as they remember all the good
emotions and triggers. Then they
should rank the strength of feeling. If
the feeling is weak at this point, they
need to anchor more states.
After this they can move back to ring
two. They will repeat the step of
imagining watching a video of the
feared situation. When they are
watching the image, they should use
their trigger, fire off the anchor  and
step into the image at the same time.
Once in the image they should
remember all the positive sensory
triggers. They need to keep
remembering the positives. You need
to be aware of how they are feeling. If
it is too distressing for them, they
should break state and step back to
circle one to enter a relaxed state.
Most of the time this isn’t necessary. As
always they need to rank the
experience, this time how good it felt
and how much background anxiety
remains. 
And essentially you need to look for
positive change. Seven and over is a
good rating and under five is bad. If a
positive change isn’t happening, ask
them to clench their hand that they are
not using for a trigger into a ball. They
should visualise putting all the bad
feelings into their fist. It can help to
give the feelings a colour to see it flow.
Next they should imagine a bright light
shining down on them. This light has
the power to change their emotion
from anxiety to excitement. The light
should flow over their whole body.
Once the light is established, the bad
feelings can pass through their body
into their other hand, changing into a
positive emotion on the way. Then they
can relax both hands. This might need
to be repeated to get rid of all the
negative emotion. 
The purpose of that exercise is to
remove resistance and turn bad into
good. It should enable positive change
and . All you need to achieve is good
outweighing bad. It is likely the whole
process will need to be repeated. This
can be done regularly at home, giving
clients a handout to help them. 
Now this process can be harder with
some clients than others because it
depends on how well they can
visualise.

However as long as you take on each
stage fully, there will be a positive
effect. Clients might need time to
practice their visualisation before they
can make significant change.
Before I go, it's time for a key point.
This is  a process ok. You need to stick
to the stages, be patient and
confidently ask clients to rank their
emotions. With practice their score will
be a positive one. The results might not
be amazing but as long as you have
tried your best, this will be because of
the client’s visualisation skills. Of
course if you want to get better results
then you should look at studying to
NLP Practitioner level. 
Ok so in the next lesson we will look at
a hand out you could give clients. See
you there.
