nj, I think all methodologies mentioned definitely have their merit and am not making any judgments, just sharing my thinking, since I've been doing a lot of thinking, and have recently had a conversation with an NLP trainer about David G's work, which he prefers over deep trance identification as a method of gaining skills, which he teaches in his master prac.  Sorry to credit it all to DG, but I think of his recent work as an extension of Emprint, in some ways, not that I know it very well, but here's a website you can visit -- http://www.experiential-dynamics.org/ -- that I've been perusing and pondering.  There's information on the elicitation, coding and even a little bit about installation.  There seem to be different methods of approach depending on the type of model.  Sometimes one needs simply to learn new strategies, other times it's important to be able to take on certain beliefs, at least in context, by searching through one's memory for experiences that would support such beliefs.  The authors also make a note that they've developed their methodology in congruence with the integrity of the individual in mind, so that each person learns the behavior in such a way that is appropriate to themselves.  It might have something useful for you. As far as I can remember The Emprint Method doesn't have anything about actual installation methodology or pattern design, and I think they even mention that one has to go elsewhere for it.  Again, think of practitioner training, and think of what you were asked to do, and how the games and exercises effectively trained you in the patterns so that eventually you didn't have to think about it.  And of course there's a lot of work you have to do on your own. But I do like Jonathan Altfeld's methodology a lot; it's like the game of Go to David Gordon's Chess.  There's a simple elegance to it that seems infinitely adaptable.  I actually think that they would work very well together, and even in conjunction with WITW, as a way of organizing and coding what one has learned implicitly. best, JS
