Have you heard the story of pavlov's dog?

Pretty much pavlov released the smell of meat to his dog so that it would drool, and at the same time he would ring a bell. He did that everyday for a while and his dog associated the sound of the bell with drooling, or with food. So when he rings the bell with no smell the dog drools.

And you can do it with people, conditioning them. It's either called conditioning or nlp anchoring.

E.g. If you touch someone on the right shoulder every time they laugh, then when you touch them on the shoulder they will laugh.
Or you can do it to yourself by doing a certain thing when eva you feel a certain thing. Or you can remember and imagine being back in a time you felt the desired feeling.

Hopefully that made Sense
