NLP uses Patterns to make things easier to understand and utilize. One of these Patterns is called the “Swish Pattern”.
You can use the Swish Pattern to overcome bad habits like smoking,addictions and simple unwanted thought processes that you want to eliminate.
The Swish Pattern is probably the most famous and first learned of all the NLP Patterns. It’s simple but powerful.
How to Use It
1. Establish which thought process, reaction or habit you would like to work with. Spend a few moments establishing what type of feelings and reaction you experience when this image is present.
Now select an image or situation that you want to use to replace the negative impact thought process. It should be a positive situation where you can see yourself doing something in a positive light. Take your time to determine which feelings are associated with this image. What type of thoughts do you have when you really associate with this image of a positive self.
It’s important that you become familiar with your real feelings about both images. Begin to view yourself from a distance, as if you are watching yourself in a film. Build it up so that all of your emotions are working with it.
2. Think about what happens just before this negative state kicks-in. Why does it happen. It could be a situation or another person that triggers it.
The best way to do this is to imagine it happening and imagine that you are just being yourself – not the film sequence. First person point of view.
Once you have determined what sets it off or acts as a trigger, you can start to replace that trigger with something more positive. Just the act of finding out the reason why something occurs is a powerful thought in your mind.
3. Still visualizing the negative image, conjure up the positive image now and place it in the corner. Like a second screen within the big picture of the negative image.
4. Now the fun part. Swish the images. That means simply practice quickly exchanging the small positive image for the big negative image. As the positive image of you in a successful situation, in command of life and doing what you want swishes into the large part of the screen, begin to feel how your emotions change with it. They will become more relaxed and positive feelings will surge through your mind and body.
Practice makes perfect so the idea is to develop the swish pattern so that it can happen quickly and smoothly. You may want to think about ways of making the positive image of yourself stronger in all its aspects. Bigger and closer is good. Add sounds to it if appropriate. If speech is a part of the negative then replace that with positive speech patterns.
As the positive image swishes into place allow it to make a swishing or whoosh like sound to enhance its arrival in its dominant place.
It won’t take long to get up to speed. Just practice and if you have problems just work on your image and feelings associated with the whole picture.
Very important; make sure that after each Swish Pattern is practiced, you also clear your mind. Allow other thoughts to come to mind – anything good like what’s on T.V. or something. This helps the Pattern to settle in to your system without any hindrance.
Follow these steps, master it and you will experience a development that you can always use to enhance your personal power as a human being. As you become more practiced you will understand how one person can actually use this NLP Swish Pattern Technique on another person to good effect.
