Neuro-Linguistic Programming - NLP
What is NLP Anyway?

According to Richard Bandler - "NLP is an attitude and a methodology that leaves behind a trail of techniques." Not just being a toolbox for success, NLP is about the attitude of intense and excited curiosity about wanting to know why we do what we do and how we do it.

NLP involves modeling. NLP is about the learning and modeling of excellence. NLP offers a way of recognizing excellence and then being able to model it.

For example, if one person is an excellent public speaker - then finding how they are able to speak powerfully - knowing what is going on inside them - then by modeling the same pattern - you'll be able to become an excellent public speaker. We did this naturally as children. We would imitate our heroes - including our parents. You'll see children modeling athletes, super-heroes, singers, and so forth. NLP just takes it a step further. By knowing exactly what goes on inside a person, you'll be able follow - step-by-step - on how they do what they do.

NLP can also be used to change our representation of our memories. This is useful - especially with fears and phobias.

NLP Experiment

Now that you have the memory, make the experience larger. If you can see - then make the picture larger. Double the size of it - then triple it's size. Make it 3D. Put it some color to the picture.

Now make the picture smaller. Make it even smaller than that. Smaller and smaller. Notice how it makes you feel now, okay? Move the picture around. Does your perception of it change?

Now move the picture closer and closer to you. What happens now to your feelings? What happens when you move the picture farther away?

There are a number of different things you could do to change the picture and therefore the perception of it changes, doesn't it? Even making it disappear can change your whole memory of an event.

NLP is a powerful technology that can used for good as well as for bad. I've seen some people use NLP for negative or unscrupulous things. That's in much the same that hypnosis is used.

Once you start using NLP in your own life - you'll notice things start to change -depending on how you use it.

Motivational Trainer - Tony Robbins - uses NLP to help others become excellent. You can use to help yourself and to help others too. Being the most excellent that you can be is the best way that I see for using NLP.

May you have much success in your endeavors into NLP and Hypnosis.
