distinctions.

Elicitation Hints
Eric Robbie's Submodality Elicitation Hints
1. Know your Submodality list by memory.
2. Go through it quickly.
3. Be conversational - do NOT use "NLP talk" (jargon).
4. Have your own little codes for brevity of notation.
5. Keep watching your subject while you elicit - stay in touch.
6. Only get the specific information you want.
7. Be extremely disciplined and clean in your language as you ask the elicitation
questions.
Exercise - Elicitation and Submodalities
See list of Submodalities in Manual
Purpose: To change attitude about learning -- to learn easily, quickly, and ravenously.
Group of 3 - One person is subject.
1. Elicit Submodalities of 3 beliefs of your subject. - Belief that gets in the way of
learning - Ludicrous belief - Strong belief
2. Quickly snap limiting belief into Submodality configuration of ludicrous.
3. Quickly slam strong belief into Submodality configuration where the limiting belief
had been.
Association and Disassociation
Association refers to being fully in an experience; seeing, hearing, and feeling what you
saw, heard, and felt at that time.
Dissociation refers to being able to view oneself in the situation as if it were a slide or a
movie.
Both association and dissociation have advantages and certain uses.
Association enables you to access a resource state. It enables you to be "fully" in the
experience and allows you to rehearse some behavior or activity.
To associate into a past experience, see the experience and step into it. Surround yourself
with the feelings, sights and sounds that you felt, saw and heard at the time. You can also
pretend to engage in a behavior by mentally and behaviorally rehearsing it.
Dissociation enables you to view a situation from different perspectives, to more
objectively assess or evaluate a situation. It enables you to separate yourself from pain or
overwhelming unpleasant feelings. It enables you to watch models and "watch yourself"
rehearse behaviors.
To dissociate from a past experience, mentally visualize yourself "over there" on a movie
screen or in a picture. You can use a sheet of Plexiglas to separate you, the watcher, from
you, the actor. You can imagine that you are a fly on the wall watching yourself engage in
a behavior at a distance. You can imagine a younger or older you describing the
experience as it happened. You can imagine floating above the experience and viewing it
occurring below you.
The Circle of Excellence
1. Identify a state of excellence. Choose anything that constitutes a resource for you. It
could be a time in your life when you felt totally happy, confident, excited,
unstoppable, joy, love, etc. Any state that when you think about it, it brings deep,
intense feelings. Pick a code word, like "YES!" or "ALRIGHT" that assists you in
bringing up the state. Say the word out loud. If you have accessed the state, let it go
for now.
2. Imagine a circle on the floor in front of you. Make the circle your favorite color.
3. See yourself in the resource state inside the circle. See yourself in the circle having
all those wonderful feelings. See yourself behaving as you did back then. Notice
what you were saying and how you looked at the time.
4. When you step into the circle, you will associate fully into the state. Step into the
circle now and fully associate into the experience. See what you saw at the time, hear
what you heard at the time, and feel what you felt at the time. Wrap these feelings
around you so that you can feel them in every fiber of your being and say, "YES!" (or
whatever your code word is).
5. As soon as the feeling begins to subside, step out of the circle, leaving all those
feelings in the circle.
6. Use a break state if necessary.
7. Now, step into the circle again and bring all those feelings back. Wrap them around
you.
8. Just as the feeling begins to subside, step out of the circle again, leaving all those
feelings in the circle.
Note: Notice the underlined words. Be sure your language reflects the associated and
disassociated language.
Applications: You can take your circle with you where ever you go. You can place the
circle on the floor of your bedroom next to your bed so that every morning when you get
up, you can step into your circle of excellence. You could also place the circle on the
pavement outside your car door so that when you go to important meetings or sales calls,
your circle of excellence helps you to be resourceful. Another idea is to place it in front of
the front door of your house so that after work, you come home in a resourceful state.
Submodality Interventions
Association/Disassociation
For example: See yourself (disassociated) instead of seeing through your own eyes as if
you were there (associated).
Change Any One Element:
For Example: Within the visual system, you can change the brightness or the size. Within
the auditory system, you could vary the location or loudness of the sound.
Delete Elements:
Modality Deletions. For Example: If the sound in a movie is unpleasant turn it off.
Content Deletions. For Example: You can remove the background, people and/or certain
objects.
Add Elements:
Modality Additions. For Example: If a movie doesn't have any sound, add a sound track.
Content Additions. For Example: In a picture, you can only add content that isn't there. If,
when you see yourself doing a certain activity, and you add people, it makes the activity
look like more fun, then add the appropriate person or persons.
Contrastive Analysis and Critical Submodalities:
Elicit two different states and elicit the Submodalities of each state. Contrastive Analysis
is when you catalog and contrast the differences in the Submodalities. The difference
between two states is typically created by only 3 or 4 Submodality distinctions, called
Critical Submodalities. Once you have determined the Critical Submodalities, you can
use them to shift one state into another.
Mapping Across:
Shift one state into another by making the configuration of Submodalities the same. For
Example: Changing a Limitation State into a Resource State. Find out what the
configuration of Submodalities are for each state and then make the configuration of
Submodalities for the limitation" state the same as the Submodalities of the "Resource"
state.
Practice Session - Submodalities and Anchoring
The patterns you are learning are important patterns for personal evolution and for
assisting others to make changes. Each pattern is part of a whole, like nested Russian
dolls. The last few days of the Practitioner Program are dedicated to integrating the
material you have covered. Many of our participants comment on how the material really
"came together" in the last few days.
For you to benefit most from this training program it is important for you to continue to
have outrageous amounts of fun when you practice each area you are learning. Those who
receive the greatest rewards are those who adopt the curious, playful attitude and commit
to experimenting and applying what they learn each and every day. People who become
serious about NLP become stifled in their creativity.
Set daily practice goals (Well-formed Outcomes) that you can achieve alone or with study
group partners. Make it a part of each day to focus on succeeding even in small areas of
your life. Soon you may find yourself absolutely surprised and delighted to begin to
notice how the other areas are changing too. And take credit for the changes you are
making. Live, love and laugh enjoying each day to the fullest with passion and fun!
The following are some suggested exercises you can play with.
