8. Practice Anchoring
Emotions are associative; they get linked to particular stimuli, which can later revive
that emotion, even if there’s no logical connection between the stimulus itself and the
emotion.
Lots of people react very emotionally to certain old songs, because they
automatically connect these songs to a special moment in their life. There are
places, sounds, … that make us feel very good or sad, depending on which
experiences we associate them with. If you had a truly positive experience with an
Italian girl many years ago, you may suddenly realize that you have become a lover
of all things Italian and maybe not even be able to remember or explain why.
In exactly the same way, you can “anchor” strong emotions, that is: mark them and
in this way link them to a touch, to a specific motion, to a painting, to the starlit sky …
in fact, to anything at all.
The stronger the emotion felt when the anchor is set, the stronger the
response will be when the anchor is “fired” later.
The more special and specific the anchor, the longer it will retain its
function.
Remember Jung’s Archetypes? People share a number of inner images. Some are
universal, most however culturally determined. The trigger words that activate these
images are nowadays called: powerwords.
When talking to women for instance, chances are you trigger a few emotions
when using these powerwords :
angels,
sacred,
magic,
fairy tales,
princess,
goddess,
paranormal
experiences,
the inner voice,
the inner self,

it feels as if I loved you before I met you / as if I have always loved only you,
as if I have been searching for you all my life
as if I love you since the dawn of mankind,
I will love you as long as I live … and more,
Just imagine feeling more intensely than ever before, feel this sense of
overwhelming, irresistible passion… and then realize you can feel completely one
with yourself, with the universe … and even more.
