Anchoring

The process of pairing a specific stimulus (touch, word, image) with a state at peak intensity, so the stimulus can later re-access the state — classical conditioning applied deliberately.

NLP's contribution is precision engineering of the anchor: timing to the rising peak, stimulus uniqueness, and clean testing. The full practice treatment lives in the journal.
