ANCHORING TECHNIQUES

Anchor/Collapse Summary 

An ANCHOR is an association between an emotional RESPONSE and STIMULUS.

Examples of a stimulus include a distinctive touch, seeing a place, person, or gesture, or hearing a haunting melody that causes a particular emotional response such as nostalgia or other strong reaction.

We have thousands of spontaneously created anchors in our lives, some good, and some not so good.

This easily learned technique shows us how to simply create wanted and desirable anchors or resourceful associations that can be used to collapse or replace those that block or limit us in being able to freely move ahead toward our desired outcomes. This method is a self-help process that only takes a few minutes to accomplish.

Instructions for this simple process, devised by Renée Pfalzgraf, can be found on this website by clicking on the following link, Anchor/Collapse Technique.

Aura of Excellence 

This action-oriented imagery is a self-anchoring procedure for changing your physiology to a specific desired state. Some examples of resource states include competence, confidence, calmness, alertness, motivation, caring, wonder, learning, relaxation, energy, concentration, public speaking, also being articulate, loving, understanding, congruent, etc.

Anchoring involves creating an association between a stimulus such as creating a special hand gesture and a response such as a centered state of confidence and courage or motivation, and so forth. It integrates imagery with physical action and movement, allowing you to perform at your highest and best self.

So when you need that extra boost of confidence, you simply stand tall while doing that special hand gesture and suddenly find yourself flooded with confidence!

Once you have been guided in this process, it then becomes another exciting resource for you to use on your own whenever you wish. This technique was inspired by Steve Watson, who authored "The Sphere of Excellence Pattern."
