It did actually! :)

But Terry, how would you craft an anchor, let's say a
visual "stroking of the chin", to just you?

Surely, something as common as stroking of the chin can be done by
anyone, hence eliciting the state which you have anchored? So how's
it possible to be distinctly just MY anchor *ONLY* :)

BLUE!! >:D
