Anchoring Script.
1
This script can be used to anchor a state (emotion) to a trigger (a stimulus). For
the purposes of writing this script I have used the state ‘endorphins/feel good’.
Feel free to adapt this script to anchor other useful states your client might find
useful during birth (eg: feeling grounded, calm, safe, feeling loved etc…)
It is also important to not that the stimulus/trigger will not anchotr unless it is
being repeated as the script is being read out. So – if you’re trigger is soft
touch massage, make sure this is being done throughout… same applies with
any trigger you choose.
You’ve probably noticed times in the past… haven’t you… where you’ve felt
what you might call an ‘endorphin’ response… when you’ve felt really, really
good… really open… powerful… free… whether it’s with friends… on holiday…
or perhaps a completely different place in time… because there are times as
you look back… over your life where you notice those specific memories…
particular moments which stand out for you as being hugely endorphin filled…
… … … so just give me a gentle nod when you’ve found this perfect time… … …
(wait for client/s to nod) … and as you’ve settled on the right memory.. the
right time and space where you were… and now are… feeling all those
wonderful sunshine feelings … as you enjoy that feeling of soft touch on the
back from someone who supports you here in this space (assuming a partner is
doing soft touch massage at the same time) … so you can enjoy and focus on
that sensation… as another part of you takes yourself back… inside your
memory… to that time… and just on the inside to yourself perhaps you can
name this memory… give this memory… this place and time… a title all of its
very own…
Visual Reconnection with Memory…
… and whether a title has already been placed… or whether it takes a little
longer doesn’t matter… as I invite you to place yourself in the very centre of
this time and see everything you’re seeing… in this particular moment… really
noticing the things that you can see… because I know that you know that
you’ve chosen this specific memory for a good reason… so enjoy exploring it
through the sense of sight… you might notice particular colours… possibly

faces… particular movement… in this particular time when… you’re feeling good… free… open… endorphins in the body… take a full 360 and look all the way around… and really place yourself at the centre… … you might notice some detail…. about some things and want to get up close… and you might notice things more generally and a landscape of how this and that come together… Auditory Reconnection with Memory… … and so as a part of you continues to notice… the things that you can see… what can you hear?... that’s right… and maybe there's just one thing that’s very obvious that you can hear… or maybe there is a variety of different sounds now… because the things we hear are layered… often we think we can only hear one thing… yet… when a person really pays attention to this feel good feeling right now… really pay attention to listening… to the things that are close by… and the things that are further away… … … … right at the centre of a feelgood memory… feeling good in growing endorphins now… as you notice the things you can see… the things you can hear… Kinesthetic Reconnection with Memory… … and the feelings on the outside too… whether that’s the temperature… on the skin… the soft brush or the tightness of clothes or things that you’re wearing… the way that your weight is shifted… supported wherever you’re standing, sitting or lying… all those details of what's going on… textures… and moving inside too… generally the feelings that we feel somewhere in the middle of our bodies… and so I wonder where that feel good feeling in the centre of this time… this place… as your eyes take it all in… you hear every layer… and feel deeply everything that you’re feeling… you can feel curious about… where does endorphins… where does feeling good begin inside?... and maybe this feeling good feeling has a particular colour in your minds eye… in your amazing imagination… or maybe endorphins move in a particular way… or direction… I don't know how far and how easily they travel all the way up the

…and a heart can open out to the front send…. as far as you like… those feel good feelings out the front… so that you’re no longer feeling them in that part… they've grown… expanded… shift in and out… dancing beyond the realms of your own physical body… to fill a space… a room… an area… a landscape… a realm… a universe beyond… to connect with everything from the inside out… and the outside in… a continuous communication of… just feeling good… because you deserve to feel good… it all comes from you can feel this and any time you choose… you can grow your own feel good state… you can direct your own feelings whenever you __________ (state ‘trigger’ here – be it soft touch massage, squeeze of a hand, hand on shoulder – as long as the physical anchor/trigger has been happening throughout the process of reading this script) or even… and here’s where the magic is… someone just even suggests it… and you imagine that… so imagine this… take you straight back to this moment of seeing… hearing… feeling and growing… expanding… shifting connecting… connections deeper… now… Scaling Up and Growing the State … and on a scale of 0 – 10 (say clients name) with 0 being ‘I’m not feeling these feeling good feelings at all’ to ‘I’m feeling them fully at a number 10 … what number is that intensity at right now? (Wait for your client to respond) So whatever needs to happen inside… because you already know how to do this don’t you… to grow, deepen and increase that number to ____ (state a higher number) grow these up to a ____ (state the higher number again) … grow that sense of connection… and let me know when you’re there… (Wait for your client to respond again with confirmation they have grown the feeling)

Perfect… and if you can so quickly grow it this far… that means you can easily and simply… shift your own state of feeling good upto a (state a higher number now)… so let me know when you’re there… (Wait for your client to respond again with confirmation they have grown the feeling and keep repeating the process of growing the state intensity until they have reached a 10) And why stop at 10… it’s always possible to shift it beyond… because if you can so easily grow these wonderful feeling to a 10… then it’ll go beyond so easily too… limitless… the universe… wherever it begins and if or and whenever it ends… and I’m not even sure it does… so it’s limitless… … you… are… limitless… in all the wonderful states… that you can feel… now… and that’s good to know… isn’t it… So, when you’re ready, just bring yourself back… a recollection of recollecting… bring yourself back to the here and now from the count of 1 – 5 with 1… aware of the body… 2 … wondering which parts energy and sensations of wakefulness are flowing to first… 3 which finger will move first… 4 … perhaps a foot wakes and moves as… take in a deep breath and open your eyes when you feel right and ready to do so now… Once you’ve completed this script with your client and they have re-orientated fully back to a normal conscious state. Invite then to find the state once more and to grow it when the trigger (massage, hand squeeze, hand on shoulder) is reintroduced – This will strengthen the anchor. Encourage them to continue to practise and strengthen it for themselves too.
