Meta-Level "Submodality" Pattern For Changing Limiting Beliefs

The 10 Minute Belief Change Pattern

THE META-YES-ING / META-NO-ING PATTERN
Preparation:
Do you know of any enhancing & empowering beliefs that you would
really like to have running in your mind-and-emotions?
Do you have any limiting beliefs that get in your way?
1) Get a good strong representation of saying "No!" to something.
Make sure that the persons "No" looks, sounds, and feels congruent
and that it truly fits with the persons beliefs and values. Anchor this
resource experience of congruently, firmly, and definitively saying
"No!" to something. Invite the person to stand up and utter the
"No!"
2) Get a good strong representation of saying "Yes!" to something.
Repeat as in step one, only this time with all of the internal
representations and neurology of "Yes!" Once you do, reinforce it by
asking about it, and amplifying it so that the person has an intense
experience of his or her "Yes!" Anchor with a touch, the way you say
"Yes!," where you gesture to, etc.
3) Ask the person to identify the limiting belief that they no longer
want to run their programs. Meta-model the limiting belief to assist in
deframing it, loosening it up, and preparing for the belief change.
Find out how it has not served them well, how it has messed things
up, etc. As you notice how they represent the belief, pace its positive
intentions.
4) Meta "No!" the limiting belief. As the person accesses the limiting
belief fully and have it, invite him or her to go meta to that belief.
Then, about that belief, have them utter their strong and powerful
"No!" Have the person do it congruently, intensely, and repeatedly.
"And you can keep on saying No! to that limiting belief
until you begin to feel that it no longer has any power
to run your programs."
"And how many more times and with what voice, tone,
gesturing, do you need to totally disconfirm that old
belief so that you know --deep inside yourself--that it
will no longer run your programs?"
5) Fully elicit from the person an enhancing belief that he or she
wants in the head. What specifically will the person think and say in
the new belief. Write out the language of it. Get several versions and
make sure that the person finds the expression of it compelling
6) Meta "Yes!" the enhancing belief. After the deframing of the old
belief, now let the persons mind swish to the content of what to
believe. Have the person fully re-access the enhancing belief and
then to go meta to it and validate it with a great big Yes! Have them
repeat it with intensity and congruency.
7) Complete with future pacing the new empowering belief.
