Well? Think about it; What is it you are not thinking about right now?… Isn’t this just the best damn pattern interrupt?

Go back and read the previous statement again… because… The more you read it the more you will realize that the more you think about whatever it is you are not the more it is you won’t be able to not go in a loop.

Now does reading this confuse you? Good, because imagine doing this with the proper spacing of words, good tonality and a couple of embedded commands like ‘your unconscious’ thrown in for good measure. That’s right, this is a powerful pattern interrupt.

Give it a shot, use the above question “what is it you are not thinking about” and anchor the response, you might be surprised just how powerful this little bit of anchoring is when you use it again.

For example, I had a friend who was very emotionally distressed because things didn’t work out between him and a girl and after using some DHE techniques (if theres interest I’ll write more, absolutely fantastic stuff by Richard Bandler here!)  he was ‘almost’ comfortable with the memory of her so I asked the ‘what are you not thinking about question’ and anchored it by putting pressure on one of his knuckles and asked him what her name was (note the passed tense) and fired the anchor, I then proceeded to ask him how bad he felt (note the negative presumption) while firing the anchor again.

End result, including DHE the total time was ~2 minutes and he reports tthat there is no feeling towards her or asociated with her anymore. So play around with this, its powerful, and don’t even think about telling someone to “SLEEP NOW” with enough authority as they do the trans derivational search because that would just be way too easy a rapid induction.. Infact anchoring it and firering the anchor just before a nice little embedded “LIKE ME” command wouldn’t be fair either so DON’T DO IT.

Or at least, if you do, make sure you let me know how it works so I can continue to post about more effective things you shouldn’t be not doing.

I challenge everyone, myself included, to get caught using embedded commands and rapport techniques.

Seriously, we all start of thinking ‘what if I get caught’ mirroring the other person when we’re first learning NLP and I can tell you now, it just doesnt happen when you just allow yourself to synchronize your movements with the other person. They simply don’t notice anything at all, yet you will feel a stronger connection, or if your not yet attuned to feeling rapport you will notice them being friendlier to you within a few minutes because (depends on the person) they will tend to begin asking you questions and showing more interest in you.

And its the same with embedded commands, you think people will catch you? Go ahead, TRY and get caught.. Like I have, it just doesnt work.. And its the same with embedded commands because I now mark of ‘your unconscious’, ‘your mine-d’ and ‘like me’ rather overtly with a decent pause and people dont even react, it goes straight in and I notice them just following along.

So, if anyone gets caught, email me! Seriously, if it were to happen I will write a post about it, and if you want, I will help you out personally via email if you want so that it doesnt happen ever again.
