META TEXTURING

 

"How can you manage your emotions with Meta-States?"  That's what a person
in Romania asked me this past week.  Another person asked, "Can you do
anything about negative emotions with the Meta-States Model?"  The short
answer: Yes, definitely!  If you want to know how, here's how.

 

After you make an emotional response to some event, person, or word and you
are in an emotional state, then what you think-feel next will govern the
very quality of your emotions and emotional state.  Imagine that you are
feeling fearful and afraid of something, that you are in a state of fear.
What do you think or feel about that experience?

If you are ashamed of it, then you have shameful fear.

If you are angry at it, then you have angered or resentful fear.

If you are accepting, then with that acceptance you probably have a calm and
thoughtful fear.  

 

As the second thought-feeling sets an interpretative frame for the first, it
thereby textures the first. And with that, you now know how to bring
resourceful thoughts and feelings to your emotions to raise the quality of
your emotional states.  Now, isn't that powerful?

 

Take anger.  What is the quality of your anger?  How have you textured it?
Do you have respectful or disrespectful anger?  Do you have calm or
stressful anger?  Do you have rough or kind anger?  The modifying word
("compassion") before the emotional term ("anger") describes a meta-state,
e.g., compassionate anger.  When I used to run "Anger Control" workshops, my
goal was to enable each person to develop a very rich and resourceful anger
state.  What if you developed a calm, respectful, thoughtful, and
compassionate anger state?  Now that would be a different animal!

 

To texture a state is to bring a resourceful thought, feeling, belief,
memory, imagination, decision, etc. to the state you want to qualify.  In
meta-stating, you set up the mental and neurological connection so that your
second state is about the first state.  Making this meta-move enables the
second state (the meta-state) to govern the first.  And because things do
not stay meta in the human experience (June 7, When Meta Dives, Neurons
#32), that resource penetrates into the primary state and textures it.  In
Neuro-Semantics, we call this coalescing.  The higher state coalesces into
the previous state.

 

Now we can ask, "What meta resources do you have fully embodied into your
primary state?"  Actually, this is the design of the Accessing Personal
Genius program.  We go through a list of requirements or prerequisites of
"genius"- the component elements that characterize someone in an optimal "in
the zone" state.  We take a sense of personal empowerment, proactivity, and
responsibility (the Power Zone pattern) and texture it into your optimal
state.  We take the states of self-acceptance, self-appreciation, and
self-esteem and texture (Meta-Stating Self pattern) it into the optimal
state.  In APG, we spend three days doing this with 14 patterns and in the
process, we meta-state your best state 21 times.  That is a lot of
meta-texturing. 

 

Meta-texturing is the technique by which you can texture or qualify your
emotional states so that you can have high quality emotions.  Doing that
also puts you in charge so that you have your emotions rather than your
emotions having you.  This is the process that we use for emotional
intelligence- emotional awareness and management.

 

What is the quality of your emotions?  Do they reflect your best resources,
values, and intentions?  If not, then the answer lies in meta-texturing.
