Submodalities (1)

Submodalities are the subunits of our 5 senses (also called modalities): seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling, tasting. The submodalities characterize each of these senses more precisely. They are one of the few concepts that were discovered only through NLP and are used here with quick and excellent results, e.g., in the rapid treatment of compulsions and phobias. It seems as if Richard Bandler discovered the code with which our brain works here.

Examples of Submodalities
Visual: Brightness, Color, Contrast
Auditory: Volume, Speech Speed
Kinesthetic: Warmth, Softness

A change in submodalities causes a change in our emotions. Test this in the following exercises.

Exercise for This Week

a) Collect more submodalities for the sensory channels. Make a list of all the submodalities you can think of and sort them by sensory channel.

b) Imagine something beautiful and write down all the submodalities of this imagination. Describe the size, brightness, colors, auditory impressions, etc.

c) Take the beautiful imagination again and this time change the submodalities. Let the images become larger and more colorful – like in the cinema when you sit in the front row. Then let the images become smaller and appear far away. Make a game out of it and pay attention to what happens to your feeling about the image with each submodality change.

d) This time take a negative imagination (something you don't like or are afraid of) and weaken it by making it smaller, very bright or dark, and pushing it into the corner.

Metaphor of the Week

The Relaxed Bow

It is said that the old apostle John liked to play with his tame partridge.

One day a hunter came to him. He was surprised to see that a man as esteemed as John was simply playing. Couldn't the apostle spend his time on more important things than with a partridge?

So he asked John:
“Why do you waste your time playing? Why do you pay attention to a useless animal?”

John replied:
“You see, if a bow were always kept taut, it would lose its tension. Then, if I wanted to shoot an arrow, it would have no strength left – and I would miss the target.”

And John added:
“In the same way, we must also relax and recover again and again. If I don't rest, for example by simply playing a little with this – seemingly so useless – animal, then I would soon have no strength left to do all that is really important.”
