Tracking

Tracking is a process used to gather, and organize 4-tuples for the purpose of taking a client from her present state, to her desired state with the fewest number of steps possible.

This is most easily done by gathering 4-tuples, and the simplest way of gathering the desired 4-tuples, is to ask questions which presuppose the desired 4-tuple. The reason for this is, because people naturally access the applicable modalities to which they speak about, and this is also termed a transderivational search. For instance, it is impossible to speak about happy times, and maintain a miserable outlook. In fact just the other day I called upon a friend through yahoo messenger, and found her to be extremely distraught. She was upset enough, that she couldn’t even begin to tell me what was wrong. Immediately I typed out “Puff…that wonderful magical dragon”. The line caught her completely off guard, no introduction, no warning, just, “Puff that wonderful magical dragon”. All she could say was, “what are you talking about”. I then simply responded with, “that’s right, you remember that song, in the not so long ago. Now how did it start again…Let’s see…Puff, the magic dragon….”, she immediately followed with, “lived by the sea…”.

Now why did I interject with something so silly, and off the wall? I did it to access a different state, a 4-tuple completely different from the one she was presently living. I had her immediately regressed to her childhood, talking about happy times, and when she first learned that wonderful song. A couple of days later, she sent a thank you for that wonderful trance experience, and how amazed she was at the rapidity of the change in her state. In fact she said she didn’t even remember what had upset her till the next day, but was able to deal with it as she kept hearing that wonderful song. It seems that the words to the song triggered childhood anchors rapidly changing her state.In turn, the associated 4-tuples went along with it, and seemed to collapse the bad feelings she was having.

Tracking Model I -is the simplest of the trance inducing models, it is just the tracking of the client’s present state to a desired state, all in one step.
Examples would be as I demonstrated above, where I instantly sent my friend on a regressive trance by mentioning words to a childhood song. Another way of using a 4-tuple to access an immediate trance state is to ask about a detailed elaboration of a person’s favorite place to relax. A good one for mothers, would be to ask what it was like the first time they looked at their baby, and noticed it smiling at them.

So as can be seen from the examples above, any request, or question that would revive, or create a pleasant detailed memory, whether real or imagined would be sufficient. Once the client is really getting into it, then deepening is recommended, and this can be easily done simply by continueing the story or playing along asking more qustions.

Tracking Model II - The induction of trance using Tracking Model II is accomplished by systematically describing 4-tuples, which lead to the desired state. When doing so, the hypnotist would first elicit some information from the client, in order to learn the client’s primary referential system, and possibly L-operator, along with the elicitation of enough information to gather the required 4-tuples to lead the client into the desired state of hypnosis. Once the hypnotist believes he has enough information to begin, he simply his story, or elaboration of some process, while systematically inputting and chronologically marking out the gather 4-tuples which he believes would lead to the desired trance state. As the hypnotist commences upon his story, he would naturally use the client’s own language (R-operator), to maintain rapport, and artistically shift his client from an external orientation, to an internal one, then shift modalities to the clients Lead operator as he induces trance.

Tracking Model III - This model is a resource builder so to speak. When the client desires a state for which there is no such past 4-tuple, the hypnotist can create a new 4-tuple by strategically asking questions from the client as to "how she might look, and how she would see things”, or how she might “feel, or physically present herself”, what she might “hear within herself, or what she might sound like”, along with questions as to what particular “flavor, or scent the experience might elicit”. In essence the hypnotist elicits all the desired elements necessary to create the new resource 4-tuple.

While the hypnotist has the client accessing the required elements, he anchors each part of the desired state either overtly, or covertly stacked upon each other so that they can later be fired off simultaneously. If the client completely lacks any past experience to complete, or even begin building the desired state, she can be asked if she knows anyone who models what she desires, and how that person would respond as questions were asked to elicit the desired elements to the new 4-tuple. In the world of NLP, this model is commonly known as a “Resource Builder”.

The difference in the third tracking model compared to the first two models is that, the desired 4-tuple does not exist within the client’s experience as an entire unit, and is to be compiled. This is accomplished by accessing past 4-tuples, which contain the elements necessary to create a new 4-tuple to enable the desired state.
