Psychological Cues: Hypnosis and the Heart Anchor (III) Heart Anchor

There is a phenomenon in psychology called the heart anchor effect. The heart anchor belongs to a kind of conditioned reflex, that is, "the conditioned reflex produced by the link between a certain mood in the human heart and a certain action or expression of the behavior." This is technical term.

Simply put: the heart anchor is a behavioral technique that changes the state of the heart.

In layman's terms: it is a connection between a person's specific action and personal sensory experience.

Theory is that it is a ritual that links some particular thing or phenomenon with a certain emotional state. Heart anchors are one of the key ways to influence the subconscious mind.

To put it more clearly, it is easier to understand that the connection between conditioning and reflection, that is, as soon as the condition appears, a reflection occurs immediately.

In life, there are many things that when we see them, we will suddenly rise up in different moods. Something like this that stimulates the creation of special sensations, whether good or bad, we call it a heart anchor. It is the same as the bookmark placed in the heart; you can take the mental state when you need to use the anchor to set. For example, if a person has the experience of a balloon exploding on his face as a child, he may run far away when he encounters a balloon again in the future. This is a naturally set heart anchor. Since the heart anchor can take the mental state that has been experienced before, it can be used to make a person more choices in a difficult situation. For example, a person who has set up a heart anchor of faith for himself (he can touch the top of his head when he has full confidence, so that he sets up a tactile heart anchor of faith), and when he is going to speak on stage one day, he can trigger the heart anchor he has set up before and touch the top of his head, so that he may have a little more confidence in the speech.

The heart anchor is also a form of suggestion. The famous physiologist Pavlov said: Suggestion is the simplest and most typical conditioned reflex. When the link pattern of conditioning and reflex is well connected, the anchor of the human heart is established.

Pavlov's Dog-Heart Anchor Relationship: The famous physiologist Pavlov used dogs to do this experiment, turning on the red light and ringing the bell before each time he brought food to the dog. After a period of time, no food is given, as long as the bell rings or the red light is on, the dog begins to secrete saliva. This is Pavlov's classic experiment with conditioning. It is also an experiment to establish a heart anchor, in which a bell or red light is the heart anchor of a dog. This is the theoretical basis of the heart anchor.

The heart anchor is a powerful tool for using subconscious resources. If you learn to anchor your heart with confidence and excitement, you can easily face the emotions and emotions of working and driving.

The heart anchor has two major elements: establishment and activation. Establishing a heart anchor: The establishment of a heart anchor is in an extraordinary state of mind and body at the time of the other party, because when people are emotionally stable, it is not conducive to the heart anchor. That is to say, the establishment of the heart anchor should be established when the fluctuations of the other party's mentality are relatively large. For example, if a man's father dies of illness, every relative or friend who comes here will tap him on the shoulder and say "mourning." After the incident, whenever someone tapped him on the shoulder, he would suddenly feel very sad; but he could not say why, this was the role of the heart anchor.

Activate the heart anchor: After the heart anchor is established, it is actually a switch. For example, when couples get along well, they will naturally not be activated. But no matter how good the partner, if you spend a long time together, there will definitely be bumps and bumps, small contradictions and small quarrels. And because of arguing with each other, when the mood is irritable and depressed after the conflict, it is when the central anchor of the heart is activated. They will think of each other and be reluctant to each other. Every time you argue, you think of it. Every time you think about it, the heart anchor activates once. Each time the heart anchor is activated, the degree of branding will be deeper. So every time a husband and wife quarrel, they will think of each other. In the end, everything you see is like beautiful fireworks blooming for each other.

Note, however, that there may also be developments in the opposite direction. If each quarrel between husband and wife does not have a degree, or hates each other like a bone, in a very painful and sad mood, it will form a quarrel that is building a heart anchor. Each quarrel will deepen or activate the heart anchor. In the end, they will not tolerate each other in their hearts and will go to the end of divorce.

Establishing the mind anchored in the enlightened state is not the same as the hypnotic state. In the hypnotic state, as long as the suggestive content is implanted, it will become a heart anchor, (see my work - hypnosis). There is a premise for establishing a mental anchor in the state of awakening: when a person is in a strong state of mind and body, and there is an inducement at this moment to constantly intervene in this state. Then this trigger will be combined with this state to produce a neural chain, and whenever the trigger appears in the future, this strong state will automatically arise (that is, as soon as the condition appears, a reflex will occur). It can also be said that people can establish an anchor when they are very sad and when they are very happy.

Historically, the master of using the heart anchor was None other than Hekun, who bought the eunuch and asked the eunuch to inform the emperor about yu Hekun. As soon as the Qianlong Emperor was happy, Hekun would immediately appear in front of the emperor to tell him about something and offer advice. After doing this often and repeating it many times, no matter whether the Qianlong Emperor was happy or not, as long as Hekun appeared in front of the emperor, the emperor would naturally be happy. At this time, Hekun's words and deeds have become the emperor's heart anchor, which is the heart anchor effect. Therefore, the Qianlong Emperor hit the anchor of Hekun's heart and loved Hekun very much.

The above is the method of invading people's hearts, and the strategy used is the heart anchor. The reason why the heart anchor is important is that it can transform emotions. Turn the bad into the good, the ugly into the beautiful, the pain into pleasure, the inability into the possible; the inferiority and nervousness before the interview into confidence, the pre-arena anxiety into calm; when you can control your emotions, you almost hold the key to success.

The heart anchor is a form of mental suggestion, and the principle of suggestion is that any suggestion must be transformed into self-suggestion, and it must be understood to produce results. In order to correctly understand the phenomenon of suggestion, or to describe self-suggestion more accurately, it is necessary to understand that there are two distinct characteristics of human beings themselves, both of which are manifestations of intelligence, only one is conscious and the other is subconscious.

The most advanced method of the hint effect is not to give the other party a hint at the moment, but to give the other party a continuous, lasting hint, that is, a heart anchor. In the process of male and female love, the heart anchor is actually equivalent to implanting hints into each other all the time.

Steps to establish a heart anchor: First, to effectively establish a heart anchor, you must really put the other person's body and mind in a special state, and when this state is stronger, the easier it is to establish the heart anchor. If you are building a heart anchor for a person, the person is thinking wildly, then this inducement will not be connected into a nerve chain, so the heart anchor cannot be established.

Second, the inducement can only be applied when the special state is most intense. If your trigger is too early or too late, the heart anchor is not very effective. To know whether the other person has reached a strong state, you have to observe carefully, or ask the other party to tell you to provide the inducement at the most appropriate moment of your own estimation.

Third, the inducement must be unique. It is important that the triggers provided must give the brain a clear and unmistakable signal. If when someone enters a state of intensity, and the trigger you provide is what you usually do, no matter what the action, the look, or the tone, you cannot make the brain distinguish what is unique about the trigger, then the heart anchor cannot be established. For example, if you use a handshake as an inducement, because you often shake hands with others, the inducement is not unique. However, if you shake hands with greater strength than usual when providing the trigger or if the handshake is different from usual, then the inducement is still valid, and if you can make full use of multiple sensors at the same time when providing the inducement, then the mind has more basis to clearly identify the trigger. So, if you can use both movement and tone to establish the effect of the heart anchor, of course, it is greater than the effect of using action alone.

Fourth, the provision of incentives should be accurate. If the trigger you provide is to pat the other person on the shoulder, then if you want the heart anchor to be effective, you must pat that part of the shoulder. At the same time, the strength of each shot must be the same. If the above four steps are indeed followed, the established mental anchor must be effective.

Summary: The relationship between suggestion, hypnosis, and heart anchor can be applied jointly or independently. Hypnosis and heart anchors are the result of suggestion, which in turn enhance the effect of suggestion. The relationship between suggestion and hypnosis, hint can induce hypnosis, hypnosis can deepen the cue. Hints and the relationship between the heart anchor, hint can set up a heart anchor, the heart anchor can improve the suggestibility. The relationship between hypnosis and heart anchor, the hypnotic state can directly establish the heart anchor, and the set heart anchor can directly make people enter the hypnotic state. By mastering the techniques of suggestion, hypnosis, and heart anchoring, you can grasp your mental health status. You can face the challenges of life and live a good life. Mastering these three technologies can help oneself and others, so why not enjoy it?
