SEtting anchors involves Eliciting the state, Calibrating it, setting the anchor, testing anchor, and future pacing the anchor. I had felt hazy on the calibration component of the 5 step process but hearing your lucid explanation opened up a doorway of clarity after shutting the doorway of confusion and obfuscation regarding calibration. Thanks for helping to paint a sharper picture of how calibration is just \"indicators\" of a person\'s state. When the red light is on on the oven, it emans it\'s heating up. When a person has brow furrowed, right eye squinted and hunched and you ask them what they feel, and they say perplexed, ANY time you see them with \"brow furrowed, right eye squinted and hunched, you know they\'re\" you\'ve calibrated that state to knowing that it means \"perplexed\". Therefore the \"brow furrowed, right eye squinted and hunched\" state is like the red light on the oven; both serve as indicators for what\'s going on \"inside\". A green light on the oven could mean, \"cleaning mode\", just as someone who\'s in a state where there breathing is steady, chest out, and smiling, and you ask them what they feel they\'ll say \"happy\" you\'ve calibrated that \"breathing is steady, chest out, and smiling\" to mean happy for THEM. \"breathing is steady, chest out, and smiling\" does not mean happy for every person just that specific person. To continue the analogy to now an absurd level of metaphor (LOL!) everyone\'s \"oven\" is built different with different indicator lights. HEy, great blog!!
