This episode assumes familiarity with the basic ideas of anchoring. For the initial introduction, please first listen to the earlier podcast on anchoring (episode #6).

In this podcast, we cover the following advanced anchoring topics:

• Sliding anchors and their uses
  • Increasing or decreasing an anchored state
  • Creating “emotional cocktails”
  • The Circle of Excellence technique
  • Auditory sliding anchors in dancing
  • Public speaking
• Stacking anchors
  • Circle of excellence: putting different states into the same place (anchor)
  • Stacking anchors at a family dinner table
  • Stacking anchors in a business setting
• Chaining anchors
  • Typically for transitions between very different states, breaking it up into smaller steps
  • Setting up one state to be the anchor for triggering the next
  • Examples:
    • Confusion to clarity
    • Loss of a loved one – from denial to acceptance
    • Denial of knowledge – from frustration to curiousity and commitment / learning state
• Spatial anchors
  • Martial art forms
  • Arguments in relationships
  • Addressing groups
  • Dictionary of anchors
• Borrowing, or stealing anchors
• Weaving it all together
