Anchoring is basically an audiatory/visual/physical "hotkey" to bring back a previously anchored feeling.
Basically, in ridicolously-over-easy-speak, it works like this: you attain a feeling by recalling and reliving a previous memory, then at its peak, you "anchor" it by picturing a raisin, stroking your left index finger over your right thumb, and saying "parrot!" or something equivalent. Do this abit, and then you can bring back the feeling you anchored by pressing these anchored "hotkeys".
Is that about right, Element?
Hahaha.
In an overly humorous explaination, yes.
It's just doing something slight, yet memorable,
to somebody who's hitting the peak of an emotion.
But you have to understand me here.
I don't use the creepy NLP patterns to bring up these emotions.
I use my natural skill, charm, and swagger.
But thennnn I'll anchor it (only on rare occasion).
Honestly, I don't mess around with anchoring barely at all.
My only real example would be this:
I try it with my steady girlfriend, to get her out of bad moods.
Such as, if everytime you have a deep, loving moment,
you swipe the hair out of her eye, and follow around behind her ear,
it'll anchor that feeling to that motion.
When she's in a shitty mood, or I make her angry,
I'll then try to get her out of that mood, and after that attempt,
I'll double it with swiping the hair out of her face, etc.
It's a subconcious reminder of good feelings.
So it's not like, EVIL, like everyone seems to feel about NLP.
It's just like, say for example, when you're talking to a good friend,
and he says some funny line that somebody said when you were all having a good time.
He says that line, and if it was something that stuck out, and was memorable,
you'll get that awesome feeling you had when you were with everybody.
Does that make sense?
I'm really not the guy to talk to about it.
I read into it, tried a few mind-tricks to myself with it,
anchored a good feeling to my girlfriend,
and that's the extent of my experience with it.
It's not much.
My cousin, as I said before, anchored the smell of Tommy Hilfiger cologne
to the desire to have sex.
He did this to his girlfriend, and somehow, it worked.
He never explained how he did it, but he did...
I've seen the results. It's kinda scary.
Sometimes I think it's almost cheating... hence why I really don't use it much.
