Meta States

Developed by L. Michael Hall, Ph.D., Meta-States refer to the brain’s ability to have thoughts about thoughts. Each thought about a thought functions at a higher logical level and therefore modulates the original thought. For instance, you can experience anger towards something or someone. Now, appreciate your anger and notice how that changes your perception of your anger. Or, better yet, apply a thought of calmness to your anger and notice how that changes your anger. Utilizing this simple yet profound cognitive process provides a powerful tool for state control. Throughout the Practitioner (And Master Practitioner) training, you learn how to manage your states through Meta-States.
