Simultaneously stored information is simultaneously released. Thats it. You want to test it? Doesnt certain songs remind you of certain people, places, eras and more? Arent there songs that remind you of people you loved, time in school? There is a cascade of emotions that are released with every thought, touch, gesture and even look. So its not just sounds, it is also “sights” or things that you see and even certain touches.
That is the basis of NLP. Tony Robbins famously took and “iphoned” it into his seminars for quick change. (iphone as a verb or adjective according to john is to take something and not only simplify it but make it more powerful and available to the masses)
He says to get yourself into a peak state and anchor it. PS he doesnt do that anymore. Attended his last seminar. He does a modified version of it. But the point is still valid. Every time you say that reminded me of my mother or my last girlfriend. PS sometimes that is followed by, ” the person that cheated on me hurt me beat me up or made me feel loved”
So the point is use it as a tool for you happiness and be aware of it when it sneaks up on you and tries to hurt you. Something as simple as giving gratitude. You can not think about the time you made the most amount of money or had your greatest love and not “FEEL” great. You can not give thanks for the day you ran a marathon or a mere 5 or 10 miles and not “refeel” that exhilaration. Ok not a word so I am trademarking it. That is the point of this blog. “Refeel” or feel again all of your greatest moments in your life that you are grateful for and you will feel great. Give gratitude or just relive them all. In the end you will feel your body washed over with those same feelings. Because simultaneously stored information is simultaneously released. Let your body be showered with reliving the favorite most fun moments in your life. In fact that was one of the things they always did at his seminars. They said remember all kinds of different great feelings than shout yes. So now you are anchoring the greatest moments in your life with the word yes. But as some of you may know one of the oldest sleaziest sales techniques in the world is to simply ask a bunch of no brainer yes questions followed by the asking for the order.
So sadly his teachings need to be separated by recognizing what is good for you and worth it and always remember tools can be used for good or bad. A hammer can build a house or smash a skull.
Spending 14 hours a day not only saying yes but screaming it and attaching it to the greatest moments in your life followed by the ask to spend $10,000 is simply wrong. So after spending hours attaching the greatest moments in your life to shouting yes. You are then asked imagine what you want in life, the fabulous home unlimited weatlht perfect health if you want that shout yes as loud as you can. Now if you want all these things shout yes. If you want to continue to feel great shout yes. If you want to continue to be wealthy shout yes. Now who wants to take the next step in achieving their dreams say yes. Great we have people in the back of the room to help you in the next step of your journey. Sorry didnt mean to make this an indictment of Tony Robbins. But he is the greatest salesman or master manipulator or greatest agent of change or greatest teacher, motivator in the world. He is actually all of those things beacause he helps you to quickly access those states to empower you.
But dont ever forget tools can be used for good or evil. It is quickly self evident what it is being used for. caring enough about people to make them feel listened to heard and understood is a great gift. But once you have someone’s trust and confidence are you going to sell them a piece of junk car and home that should be torn down or are you going to help them find exactly what they want? The perfect most cost effective treatment, the needle in a haystack home in the perfect neighborhood, the one in a million car or home that is completely underpriced.
