1. Think of a response you have that you would like to change-for example, irritation, depression, anger, worry. Just for a few moments, fully immerse yourself in the last time you experienced this. See what you saw, hear what you heard, and feel exactly what you felt at the time.
2. Now, step out of the experience and slowly run it backward as a movie, until you find the very first moment the response begins to develop. Shift the movie just one frame further back than that, and imagine this as a big red button-your" hot button" -on your left knee.
3. Open your eyes, shift your position, then close your eyes again.
4. Now, take three to five breaths, allowing the out-breath to be a little longer than the in-breath. Fire your "trance anchor," or simply instruct your unconscious to float you down to a deeply relaxed and enjoyable state. Spin the feeling of comfort and relaxation so it begins to spread throughout your body.
5. As this state begins to peak, imagine a large green "cool" button on your right knee. Keep pushing the button several times, going twice as deep each time.
6. Open your eyes and fire your hot button. Immediately fire your cool button and hold both for a moment. Release your hot button and hold your cool button as you run through how your response would have been different if you had it instead of the hot button response. Make sure you shift representational systems as you do this: if the earliest reaction was an image, ensure that you end with a strong, desirable feeling; if the earliest response was a feeling, end with a picture of your discomfort flying away into the distance, and so on.
