  • The Truth About NLP Eye Patterns and Their Relationship with Academic Performance in Business and Management Studies (MBA)

E-mail: [email protected] Received: October 2, 2013 Accepted: October 30, 2013 Online Published: November 15, 2013 doi:10.5539/ijbm.v8n23p67 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ijbm.v8n23p67 Abstract This article looks at the relationship between eye patterns (i.e., how eyes move according to what the person is thinking or feeling) according to Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and students’ achievement in a course in an MBA program in Abu Dhabi University, United Arab Emirates. Participants for the study (N = 33) graduate students from the course. All participants were right-handed. Results show that, except for visual recall, less than half of the respondents exhibited the remaining eye patterns (i.e., visual construct, verbal recall, verbal construct, kinaesthetic and auditory digital), posited by the founders of NLP. Put in another way, respondents on average exhibited about two out of the six posited eye patterns. Correlations between eye patterns and exam results reveal that students who displayed eye patterns corresponding with verbal recall and kinaesthetic feelings, tend to do better in the exams. This paper discusses the possible benefit of training students to conform to verbal recall and kinaesthetic eye patterns, and teaching courses that emphasise on verbal recall and kinaesthetic feelings.

Origins and concepts The Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) field was born in Santa Cruz, California in the early 1970s, with the support of two founders: John Grinder (a linguist) and Richard Bandler (a psychologist). These two, helped among others by Gregory Bateson, have tried to model theories of three famous psychologists of those times: Milton Erickson, Fritz Perls and Virginia Satir. As a result they wrote several books (for instance, “The structure of magic”, or “Patterns of the hypnotic techniques of Milton H. Erickson, M.D.”) consecrating this field once for all: “The concept for NLP was originated ten years ago by John Grinder and Richard Bandler. These two men studied the working processes of noted therapists such as Fritz Perls (Gestalt), Virginia Satir (family therapy) and Milton H.

  • NLP Words and Phrases to Increase the Positive Intentions in Speaking and Writing the HISTORY and BACKGROUND of NLP
    NLP Words and Phrases to Increase the Positive Intentions In Speaking and Writing THE HISTORY AND BACKGROUND OF NLP Wikipedia.org Definition: Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is an approach to communication, personal development, and psychotherapy created by Richard Bandler and John Grinder inCalifornia, United States in the 1970s. Its creators claim a connection between the neurological processes ("neuro"), language ("linguistic") and behavioral patterns learned through experience ("programming") and that these can be changed to achieve specific goals in life.[1][2] Bandler and Grinder claim that the skills of exceptional people can be "modeled" using NLP methodology, then those skills can be acquired by anyone.[3][4][5][6][7] Bandler and Grinder also claim that NLP can treat problems such as phobias, depression, habit disorder, psychosomatic illnesses, myopia,[8]allergy, common cold,[9] and learning disorders, often in a single session.[10][11][12][13] NLP has been adopted by somehypnotherapists and in seminars marketed to business and government.[14][15] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuro-linguistic_programming ******* NLP University, one of the places I’ve learned a lot from! From their Home Page … All of the models and techniques of NLP are based on the combination of two principles: [1] The Map is Not the Territory, and [2] Life and ‘Mind’ are Systemic Processes. In the belief system of NLP it is not possible for human beings to know objective reality. Wisdom, ethics and ecology do not derive from having the one 'right' or 'correct' map of the world, because human beings would not be capable of making one.

This is the first step on what has already proven for hundreds of thousands a wonderful journey of self-discovery and continual personal improvement. Don't be fooled by the name "Neuro-Linguistic Programming" - it's not about weird mind science or those hilarious outdated 1950s mind control TV shows. NLP is about teaching you how to run the "programmes" in your mind more effectively so that you get so much more of what you want from life. In fact, NLP is a highly effective "mind tool" that enables you to get more ‘in control’ of your mind than you ever were before. That's why it is regularly used to cure phobias, decrease anxiety, reduce stress and overcome neuroses. But NLP is for more than just a tool for well-being. As you will discover in the following pages, NLP was devised to help you emulate the most successful people in the world. That means that NLP isn't only about getting over difficulties.

  • Strategic Pattern Intervention
    AMERICAN HYPNOSIS TRAINING ACADEMY (AHTA, Inc.) 1110 Fidler Lane, Suite L-1 Silver Spring, Maryland 20910 (301) 565-0103 * (800) 343-9915 * Fax (301) 588-9535 Strategic Pattern Interruption Over the years I have come to believe that one of the most important values Dr. Milton H. Erickson held was, “keep it simple.” He regularly suggested that his students could do just that by merely interrupting or changing the sequence or syntax of the patient’s habitual sets. He also alludes to the foregoing in story after story about his work with patients. The implication he makes is that substantial therapeutic results can be accomplished by interfering with the course of internal and/or external events that lead to the patient’s problem. On one occasion he intervenes by suggesting a patient walk a different route to his favorite bar and on another he asks the patient imagine watching herself from a dissociated, objective perspective. In another case, he instructs a depressed and lonely older woman, who rarely leaves her house, to give her African Violets to people in her town when they celebrate graduations, weddings, births, etc. Her depression lifts as she gets out and makes friends with hundreds of folks throughout the community. Another time, he startles a subject and shouts for her to jump out of her chair, leaving her phobia for flying behind. She reports enjoying flying home from his class. When she returns for another group session at Dr. Erickson’s office, she warns everyone not to sit in that chair so they won't catch her phobia.

  • MC NLP Factsheet
    Fact Sheet (version 1.0) Neuro Linguistic Programming WHAT IS NLP? NLP is an interdisciplinary subject which embraces, among other things, brain/mind research (neuro), the study of language (linguistic), and psychotherapy (re-patterning, or [re-]programming). Richard Bandler, co-developer of NLP, in his book Using Your Brain - For A Change, says: "Neuro-Linguistic Programming is a name that I made up to avoid having to be specialized in one field or another." Therefore, NLP, by its very nature, is difficult to define succinctly. It is often described as the study of the structure of human behaviour and is an attitude of curiosity, experimentation and flexibility, leading to a methodology of modelling that leaves behind it a trail of techniques. BRIEF HISTORY NLP was initially created in 1975 by Richard Bandler and John Grinder, in Santa Cruz, California, when mathematician Richard Bandler and associate linguistics professor John Grinder discovered that you can study or "model" human behaviour, and then, using this model, duplicate the results in someone else. They began modelling and duplicating the "magical results" of a few top communicators and therapists and using what they learned to improve other peoples skills and abilities. Some of the first people to be studied included Hypnotherapist Milton Erickson, gestalt therapist Fritz Perls and family therapist Virginia Satir. Because these models are formal they also allow for prediction and calculation. Patterns that may not have been available in any of these people's work could be calculated from the formal representations they had created. New techniques and models were (and still are being) developed.
