Driving submodalities

A driving submodality is a submodality that creates a change in the intensity of the state associated with a particular Internal Representation (IR).

An example of a driving submodality

Think of some pleasant memory. Perhaps a time of fun and excitement. Get a picture in your mind's eye of the event. Notice the details of the picture, where it is, whether it is in color or black and white, how big the picture is, how close it is, and so on.

Now make the picture bigger. Notice how this changes the feelings associated with the experience. Now return the picture to its original size.

Now make the picture brighter. Notice how that changes your feelings. Now turn the brightness back to how it was.

Go through each of the submodalities in turn. See which one makes the most difference to the feelings associated with the experience. This is the driving submodality.
