I tried something today in a meeting. There were two
of us in the room, and also one guy on the phone from
the US.
A few times while the person from the US was talking
on the speakerphone (quite softly, actually), and the
guy opposite me was listening really hard, I lightly
flicked my ear to anchor the "paying attention" state
in him.
And when the guy opposite me was contributing to the
discussion, I used a sliding anchor (pen) to align
with how passionately he was talking.
Then I tried something ... while the guy opposite me
was busy talking I retracted the pen to the "zero
passion / zero content" position, and then immediately
flicked my ear.
The idea was to see whether this affected his talking.
Would it make him stop? Lose his train of thought?
What?
What was interesting was what actually happened ...
nothing. No reaction whatsoever from the guy opposite
me. He just kep talking at the same pace. I tried it
again about 10 minutes later - and still nothing.
Thoughts? Comments?

I seem to have read this sentence completely
differently. I think. I thought it was saying that if
she is experiencing a very strong emotion X, then
trying to trigger Y in her will be more difficult. On
the one hand that makes sense. On the other hand,
anchors are meant to be all about changing emotions.
Sigh.
