Accessing Cue - Auditory

Accessing Cues

Specific unconscious actions, including physical movements, eye movements, breathing pattern changes, and gestures that indicate which modality is being accessed.

Analogue

Related to Digital. In NLP, the word analogue is used to describe submodalities that have a continuous variability, rather than digital submodalities which are either 'on' or 'off. i.e. brightness is analogue; association is digital.

Analogue Marking

The process of using an action, gesture, or tone of voice to mark out specific words within a sentence. A hypnotist may raise their eyebrow or lower their voice to mark out embedded commands within their speech.

Anchor

A sound, touch, smell, taste, or sight that brings up a specific memory or feeling.

Anchoring

The process of setting an anchor (usually on another person) connected to a specific memory and/or feeling so that it can be re-accessed later.

'As If' Frame

To act as if something is possible, or as if an event has happened, to enable someone to access resources that would be available were it true.

Associated/Association

When someone visualizes a image as if they are seeing it through their own eyes. In contrast to disassociated.

Auditory

The Sensory Modality related to the sense of hearing.
