NLP - Neuro Lingustic Programming
Neuro = your brain and nervous system
Linguistic = how language is constructed
Programming = building strategies to produce desired behaviour
NLP =
the study of how Mind creates reality through language and behavior.
NLP is a powerful collection of language-based tools and techniques that can be applied in sports, business, therapy, teaching, or anywhere people are interested in learning and change and maximising their performance. Basically NLP is useful to anyone who wants to:
- understand how they create their thoughts feelings and behaviour
- find a way to change the way they are currently experiencing life.
NLP and HNLP can help you change...
- depression and anxiety into increased ability to handle life
- phobias into a mere memory
- learning difficulties into proud results
- fear of public speaking into excitement to share what you know
- stress into peace or power. Or a powerful peace...
What do you want to turn your challenge into?
How? - not why?
A powerful aspect of NLP is that it concentrates on the HOW you do what you do. Knowing WHY you do what you do is sometimes a useful insight, but the key to changing your behaviour is in the HOW you do it.
A session of (H)NLP
HNLP is a tool used by the practitioner in a conversation that aims to help you change your patterns of thinking and behaviour. Expect:
- Respect for and intense curiosity about the subtleties of how you process information
- questions that literally blow your mind
- personal insight and understanding
- the odd bit of confusion as you realise you cant do the problem like you used to
HNLPTM
HNLP is Humanistic Neuro Linguistic PsychologyTM, a development of "regular" NLP created by John Overdurf and Julie Silverthorn. They used the term "humanistic" to emphasise their emphasis on respect for the client -the personal touch-, and their down-to-earth practical approach to helping their clients.
One of the basic premises from which they work is that everyone and everything is interconnected.They are not alone; quantum physics and all major spiritual systems support this.
Humanistic Neuro-Linguistic Psychology creatively integrates quantum physics, modern neuro science, hypnosis, accelerated learning, spirituality, and common sense.
The Presuppositions of HNLP
Presuppositions are a like beliefs - ways of looking at things to help get insight, or generate some new ideas.
How would your issue change if your Considered, Fully, All the implications you hadn't yet thought of in realation to the following...?
- No matter what you think you are, you are always more than that.
We have all the resources we need. - Reality is a construction.
You get what you focus on. - Reality and meaning are created through relationships.
Things exist by virtue of their mutually consistent relationships. - Living is learning.
We can't not learn. All behavior is motivated by a positive, self-adaptive intention. - Perception is learned.
Memory is an active, synthetic process. - Everything and everyone is interconnected.
The material universe is a dynamic web of interrelated events.
None of the properties of the web are fundamental.
They all follow from properties of the other parts and the overall consistency of their interrelations determines the structure of the entire web.At the quantum level we are one, there are no local causes. No matter what you think you are, you are always and in all ways more than that...........
