improve the experience of achieving your goal by making the accompany-
ing pictures brighter, bigger, and closer in stark, vivid color and
panoramic. Add as many details as you can; the more, the better. If your
experience is vague and not detailed, use your imagination and keep
adding more details until you really get excited.
Add sounds to your experience. Let yourself hear people telling you
what you’d like to hear about accomplishing the goal. Add your favorite
music in the background. Make it loud and stereophonic. Now add the
feelings that you will have when you achieve your outcome. Make sure
they are as intense and pleasurable as possible. Keep making adjustments
until the experience feels best to you. Make sure your feelings are as in-
tense as you can make them.
Also add smells and tastes to achieving your goal if possible. Add any
internal dialogue necessary to enhance the experience. For example, you
might say, “This is great!” Keep adjusting your experience until you get the
most positive and intense feeling possible. Do this now.
Now step out of the experience and see yourself in the picture with the
goal accomplished. Make sure that you can see your own body in the ex-
perience. You should now be dissociated. Dissociated means you see your-
self in your mental picture. Refer back to the Emotional Resolution method
from Chapter 7 for a reminder of the power of choosing an associated or
a dissociated perception. So, see yourself (dissociated) with the goal ac-
complished.
Next, take this same internal representation of achieving your goal
where you can see yourself in the picture. Take it with you on your journey
above your timeline. Float high above the present moment. Make sure you
are well above your timeline, looking down on it as if from an orbiting
satellite. Give yourself a vantage point that allows you to see far back into
the past and way out into the future, but still lets you see events happening
down on your timeline.
Take the internal representation you are carrying and energize it with
four deep breaths. Take a deep breath in through your nose and out
through the mouth. As you breathe out, blow all your life energy into your
internal representation. Do this three more times to really energize it.
That’s right.
Now look toward the future end of your timeline. Float out into the fu-
ture to the exact date that your goal will be achieved, taking your internal
representation with you.
Let go of your internal representation, and let it float right down into
your timeline. Let it float down as if it were a sheet of paper floating down
on air. Watch as it plugs itself into your timeline.
From your accomplishment date on your timeline, look back toward the
present. See the events from the date the goal is accomplished all the way
back to now. Watch these events reorganize themselves to produce your
