Oh the controvery continues!
I noticed when it comes to focus/internal representation we break that down into different components, and people like Eric Robbie talk about more primitive sub modalities.
Now, some people teach 'physiology first', as in physiology as a way to change internal representation ie stand worried see two pictures, one of it working out, one of it not, stand certain automatically see one picture of it working out.
Could we define some more critical components of physiology. To my knowledge respiration is the most critical (anyone agree/disagre). Could we also define others such as facial muscles up tight down slack, shoulder position I usually find to be critical as it has majoy input as to which rep system we're primarily using at that time, head position. Any other ideas, and ladder of importance?
Also for all those therapists out there I strongly recommend making sure you use physiology in any type of intervention, say you're using a forgiveness exercise to help someone get over being raped, take control of the situation and say 'close your eyes and sit up in your chair with some energy, as if you felt powerful and certain.'
Also Bandler talks a lot about Certainty Vs Uncertainty. I tend to agree with Robbins (forgive me for beinging him up again) that security/certainty is what everyone human being wants on earth. (? agree disagree comments ?)
It's interesting that he simply uses a physiology to help people get certainty, thus giving everyone what they want, just through phsyiology. What other states do human beings want? Could we get people into a physiology of feeling loved?
Also I keep bringing up the problem with humab beings being that we have things in conflict certainty vs uncertainty reptilian brain vs neo cortex desire to dominate animal lust vs spiritual needs and reason. Any comments on this from our pearls of wisdom?
What are the most critical aspects of physiology to change? Also, why when we say stand as if you're certain people seem to naturally know what to do? What aspects of physiology are universal and what isn't, or are they all universal?
