Every issue, we select from a world of videos that answer this often often challenging question about Neuro Linguistic Programming. Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is an incredibly powerful discipline that enables people to unblock the structures of human communication and human excellence. By doing so people can think, communicate and manage themselves, and others, more effectively. NLP explores the relationships between how we think (neuro), how we communicate (linguistic) and our patterns of behaviour and emotion (programmes). By studying and learning from these relationships people can effectively transform the way they traditionally think and act, adopting new, far more successful models of human excellence. (This activity is called modelling and is a key feature that distinguishes NLP from psychology). In effect, NLP is a powerful change management tool that transforms the way people think and act to have the greatest impact both professionally and personally. That’s why NLP is one of the most powerful skills used in business management, psychology, sales, sports coaching and all forms of personal development. Definition from www.inspiritive.com.au/nlp.thm Chris SPOTLIGHT: Morris www.chrismorris.com Love and fear: the fabric of reality By Chris Morris Imagine you have two coats, red and blue. Life is good for you when youʼre wearing the red coat – the sun shines brighter, good things happen and everyone is kind to you. The blue coat leaves you cold – you have darker moods when youʼre wearing the blue coat, things keep going wrong and people drag you down. Now imagine nobody told you the coats have this effect.... and imagine your eyes have become foggy, so both coats look the same to you. This is my experience of how we create all the suffering in our lives. We Listen to the Audio have two gears: love and fear. We also have thousands of thoughts every hour, more sensory data coming in than even the fastest interview in the full computer could process and a memory bank with billions of ideas to compare with each other. We do our best. And when weʼre wrapped in edition. Out soon! love, life is good. When weʼre wrapped in fear, itʼs not. Depending what gear weʼre in, we experience our thoughts differently – and those thoughts have a different influence on our feelings, behaviour and new thoughts. What if youʼre sitting with some friends and the conversation goes quiet? In love, itʼs beautiful to sit peacefully and not need to say anything. In fear, the same thought – “nobodyʼs speaking” – leads to a different feeling, and that feeling shapes our next thought. We can go “nobodyʼs speaking”, “this is lovely”, “I so enjoy being with people who donʼt expect anything from me”. Or we can go “nobodyʼs speaking”, “this wonʼt work if we canʼt even talk to each other”, “why canʼt I think of anything to say?”, “Iʼve got to get out of here”. The difference is nothing on the outside and nothing to do with thinking positive. Itʼs simply about which gear youʼre in: love or fear.

For all of the acknowledgment and emphasis on modeling, however, there has not been a clear and shared perspective on exactly what NLP modeling is, nor an awareness that Robert Dilts. there are different varieties of modeling. http://www.nlpu.com/Articles/essarticle.htm MEDICAL NLP The Language of Health Evidence or emotion? What do patients really want? In the real world of face-to face health care, “ medicine that acknowledges and incorporates emotion as an active force is at least as From the work of important to good practice as Evidence- Garner Thompson and Dr Khalid Kahn Based Medicine. ” Audio interview in the full edition. Out soon! For years we’ve taught Registrars and undergraduate medical students that however much they are encouraged to embrace evidence- based medicine (EBM), they should not lose sight of what patients expect – recognition of their emotions and the role they play in healing and health. Within Medical NLP, we champion the missing part of a whole- person model; an emotion-based approach to medicine we call EmBM. Experienced clinicians already know that a patient’s internal state colours the experience of the illness. (Emotional) State influences concordance and adherence, and directly impacts eventual clinical outcomes, for better or worse. The expectations of both patient and practitioner are intimately related to autonomic arousal and the ensuing range of sensations that give rise to the cognitive states we call “emotions”. In Magic in Practice, we have reported how emotional factors have been shown in various studies to play a significant role in pathology and even affect morbidity and mortality1.

  • An Interview with John Grinder 1996 by Chris and Jules Collingwood
    An interview with John Grinder 1996 By Chris and Jules Collingwood The interview was at the end of part one of a two-part seminar on Pattern Detection conducted in July 1996 in Boulder, Colorado with NLP Comprehensive. Part two was held in September 1996. 1. As one of the few individuals who has developed a whole new field of endeavour, do you have any thoughts regarding the circumstances that make it possible to be in that position? There is a metaphor which is extremely common in western European traditions in which an investigator establishes his or her contribution while simultaneously paying tribute to the work which forms the foundation which makes possible their specific contribution. This is typically expressed by noting that the new contributor can see farther than the original giants who established the foundation for their new work by standing on their shoulders. But for me, personally, this is quite misleading and not at all congruent with my experience. Rather than a physical metaphor – that is, the additional height achieved by standing on the shoulders of the giants who preceded me, it seems to me that what Bandler and I did in our original work – the classic code of NLP – was much more accurately captured by the idea of seeing in a totally different way rather than seeing farther. So while one of the circumstances which made it possible for us to create NLP certainly was the previous work, especially by Russell, Turing, Godel, Chomsky, and Bateson as well as the specific models of Perls, Satir and Erickson, the actual value added by our activity was an audacious style of provoking the world by refusing the common sensical wisdom, most assuredly by rejecting the presuppositions of the vast majority of researchers active in the field, by seeking to extend the patterning to its limits and by creating the process tools (at a higher logical level than the content of the investigations) to enable others to follow the paths of discovery which lie all around us.

Contents Introduction iv 1 Changing Location 1 2 Changing Tempo and Tonality 16 3 Adding Music or a Song 32 4 Talking to Yourself Positively 38 5 Adding a Voice 45 6 Auditory Perspective 53 7 Starting the Day 60 8 Overgeneralizations, Evaluations, and Presuppositions 67 9 Negative Messages and Positive Outcomes 75 10 Asking Questions 82 Closing 90 More NLP Resources 92 Appendix: What is NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming)? 94 About the Author 102 References 104 Index 106 iii Introduction Nearly everyone has negative internal self-talk at times; some of us have this internal chatter going on almost all the time. An internal voice may remind us of past failures, sorrows, or disappointments, torture us with criticism or verbal abuse, describe frightening or unpleasant futures, or disturb us in other ways. “You failed miserably” “What a loser I am.” “I’ll never succeed.” “Life is a crock.” “My life is over.” Typically this kind of internal voice causes unpleasant feelings, which are not very helpful in reaching goals and succeeding in life. You can probably easily think of some time in your life when an internal voice did this, putting you into an unpleasant state. These bad feelings can be the root cause of a very wide variety of problems, some of them quite serious and long-term.

  • There Are Basic Modules of Human Instinctual Innate Morality the Incredible Bio-Diversity of Humans
    There are Basic Modules of Human Instinctual Innate Morality The incredible Bio-Diversity of Humans Most People have inborn innate instincts in these areas: 1. To Care for self and others / not Harm self or others 2. Right vs Wrong- (do not cause suffering to others) 3. Loyalty to Tribes -- (Innate need to cheer for the Home team or to belong to the home team) 4. Respect for Authority-- (taught to obey our parents, we then need to have a set of rules and a set of authorities to enforce these rules) 5. Purity -- (we all have some respect for and we are endeared to Purity, Innocence, Modesty, and Virtue) 6. Juxtaposition - Laughter, Genius, a need for a altered state of consciousness or a release from the standard ( we all bore of the same same to some degree, laughter is a way to see someone downgraded and release tension. Laughter and Genius are just ways to see things differently. There is a need to be able to sometimes shift consciousness ) 7. Fear and Vision—Some people are afraid of loss or failure more than others they fear loss and seek to minimize risk. Others are more bold and they fear mediocrity, they try to maximize gain. Often the fearful ones are afraid of big personalities that do too many things. Motivation determines perception. And the fearful cannot see risky behaviors that the bold engage in every day. Albert Einstein said that great spirits get incredible resistance from mediocre minds. This might be what he was talking about. 8. Optimistic versus Pessimistic About half of the population genetically make enough or more serotonin than needed and they can see the glass as half full.

  • The Secrets to Quick and Lasting Life Change with Neuro-Linguistic Programming, by Richard Bandler
    NLP Book Review: Get the Life You Want: the secrets to quick and lasting life change with neuro-linguistic programming, by Richard Bandler. Review by Steve Andreas © 2009 Introduction My wife Connirae and I trained often with Bandler from 1977 through 1990. During that time we also sponsored many seminars that he taught, and produced a number of videotapes of his trainings. We learned a great deal of our NLP knowledge and skills from him—including many finer distinctions and details that other trainers did not offer, such as careful ecology checks to be sure that changes did not have significant adverse consequences. We will both be forever grateful for his setting our feet on a path of fascinating and continuing discovery. We created the first four Bandler/Grinder books that many have said put NLP “on the map”— Frogs into Princes, Trance-formations, Reframing, and Using Your Brain for a Change—from transcripts of seminars. We are reasonably sure that Bandler did not read any of those books very closely—he was too busy doing much more interesting things. We think it is very likely that this was also the case with this book, “Get the Life You Want,” which lacks many of the finer distinctions, attention to detail, and ecology that make NLP work fast, easy, and elegant. The basic message—that we can quickly and easily change what we do in our minds to make our lives better—is almost as revolutionary now as it was 30 years ago, because it is still virtually unknown in the larger field of psychology and psychiatry.

  • Steve and Connaire Andreas' Contributions To
    From: L. Michael Hall 2016 “Neurons” Meta Reflections – #43 September 12, 2016 Reflections about NLP #8 STEVE AND CONNAIRE ANDREAS’ CONTRIBUTIONS TO NLP With seven posts on the primary contributors to the development of NLP which Bandler, Grinder, and Pucelik relied on, yet another source is one that I cannot overlook— Steve and Connaire Andreas. In fact, in my opinion, it was the early contributions of Connaire and Steve Andreas that significantly helped to put NLP on the map. That’s because it was their seminar books of Bandler and Grinder that primarily got the word out. And that’s because of a singular fact— you could read those books! Does that imply you can’t read The Structure of Magic? Yes, those are not very readable books. If NLP was dependent on those books communicating NLP, it would have had an early death! It was the later books, and especially the four “seminar books” from the Andreas’ that began spreading the word about Neuro-Linguistic Programming. The first NLP book that I bought and read (well, actually “devoured”!) was Frogs Into Princes (1979), then Trance-formations: Neuro-Linguistic Programming and the Structure of Hypnosis (1981)— a big seller, selling 350,000 in the first few years! No other NLP book until Robbins sold those kinds of nubmers. Then, Reframing: NLP and the Transformation of Meaning (1982), and then Using Your Brain — For a Change (1985). These books came from the actual trainings and workshops that Richard and John were doing, and mostly recorded what Richard was doing. Similar to what Robert Dilts had been doing since 1975, they began doing—sequencing, systematizing, and organizing the NLP materials.
