Your article is very intreasting, I have never really seen a simple guide like this.I will have to refer people back to your article,I really think this kind of practice that could help alot of people who have lost their confidence in their relationship and maybe the smell of their fist date or night out could lead them back on the right path of why they were in a good relationship to beguin with.

@ Karanime – You’re absolutely right with smells. Smells are the one sense that we don’t filter. They pass straight into the olfactory part of the brain and can be incredibly powerful.

Something so much more powerful than mere taps and touches (which is what most anchors are made up of–in my experience) is exactly the two examples you provided in the beginning of the article: smells and music. Anchoring a feeling to those will entice a strong memory, much stronger than any tap or touch could do.

But, it’s a tad more inconvenient, considering you’d either always have to have that smell on hand (and may even smell it on accident), or you’d always have to have a music player with you (and if the same song’s on the radio, once again, it may deploy by accident). So, it does make a little more sense to anchor with taps.

But as for me, I’m totally buying fifty different scents of liquid potpourri and mixing them together to use for anchoring. :P

montdor1, I never said it was bad, it can be good, bad or indifferent. Also, I was meaning nothing has changed in the physical world to create change, of course lots has changed internally.

Thanks for your comment.

That all sounds like Proust’s madeline and tea event in “Remembrance of Things Past”. In your first example, things did happen. I disagree. Being transported mentally is exactly what NLP seems to do, or ask one to do, so why is it bad when one’s nature buds in and says, “Remember when ” after smelling a perfume or whatever. Do you see the contradiction? Is there one (am I wrong, which is possible)?

Tim, call it coincidental! I have slated an article on anchors for publication tomorrow. We must be having some kind of telepathy going on…perhaps in our sleep…LOL!!

Your article has been stumbled! Well explained!
