Unlimited power

consciously run your brain yourself by manipulating your 
submodalities. 
 
If you have not fully done the exercises on the tape, DO SO NOW. This chapter will be of 
very little use without having done these. 
 
Manipulating submodalities gives you precise control about how you represent anything in 
your mind, and therefore, control over your state. Discovering your key submodalities for 
intensifying your resourceful states will allow you to enhance the wonderful experiences in your 
life, and minimize the intensity of your unresourceful states. 
 
If submodality manipulation seems like a strange thing to do, think about the way we 
describe experiences in life in terms of submodalities: "Something is weighing heavily on my mind," 
"My future looks bright (or dim)," "That person blows things out of proportion," "I have a mental 
block," "That person is really hot" or "Cool as a cucumber," "You have a distorted image of what 
happened," "She has a colorful personality," "He only sees things as black and white," "She has 
many dimensions to her personality," "He looks askance at everything," "His perception is askew," 
"He has a grave tone of voice," "My life is like a pressure cooker-ready to explode all over 
everything" "I'm vibrating with excitement," "That person's thinking is very dense," etc. 
 
What if you said "that really weighs lightly on my mind," or "that person just shatters what 
other people see as mental blocks," etc. 
 
If you have incessant internal dialogue that you don't want to hear, just turn down the 
volume, make it softer, farther away and weaker, or hear it nag in an incredibly sexy tone of voice, 
"You can't do that." 
 
Your level of motivation (like any other state) can be directed with submodalities. Use the 
following, chart to note what your submodalities are for motivation and lack of motivation, as you 
contrast the two states in the exercise on the tape.
