Here is the way you can use eye accessing cues to deal with difficult problems. You can use this for yourself or to help another person. When you are working alonge, simply move your eyes into all the different positions. Imagine following a point of light that moves to different places.

Part 1

• Ask the other person to clear their mind and follow the course of your finger with their eyes without moving their head. Link the eye accessing positions by moving your finger, moving between the upper, middle and lower positions in every combination in front of their face about two feet away.
  Alternatively, you can hold two fingers in the two positions and ask the person to look from one to the other without moving their head. Give them time to think. Keep the process slow and simple and let them rest during the patterns if they need to.
• When you have finished, ask them some questions:
  • Which movements are the smoothest?
  • Which are the easiest to do? (This may show the easiest synesthesias or show lead system to preferred system.)
  • Which are the hardest to do? (These show the areas with greatest potential.)
  • Which movements are the most jerky?
  • How do these neurological indications accord with the person's experience of the way they think and the synesthesias and associations they make?

Part 2

• Ask the person to think of a difficult problem or issue that they would like to be more creative about. Notice where they look with there eyes.
• Now go through all the movements, linking all the movements as before.
  • Note which places are unresourceful and which are resourceful.
  • Repeat any links that seem particualarly difficult. While you do this, ask them to imagine that all their resources, their creativity and different ways of thinking are being integrated and brought to bear on this issue.
• Give them time to integrate and then ask them to think about the issue again. What has changed for them?

What this does is bring many different ways of thinking and resources to bear on a problem in different and creative combinations. It also scrambles the person's habitual thinking about the problem.
