Healing with NLP

Healing with NLP is a topic that is dear to my heart.

There are some specific aspects that need to be taken into account if you are going to be truly effective.

I spent several years modeling and developing these strategies.

You can learn more about them here.

Applied NLP

One of the more useful ways of studying NLP is to see how others have applied it in the ‘real’ world.

This is as opposed to learning techniques in trainings, especially the standard ‘dated’ NLP Practitioner techniques based in therapy.

One of the ways to do this is to buy the various books around written by accomplished Practitioners, Master Practitioners, Trainers and Master Trainers. Continue reading Applied NLP

Melbourne NLP Practitioner Program starting soon

We have a new Melbourne NLP Practitioner program starting on March 21st.

You can learn more about the training here:

NLP Practitioner

You can see the dates here:

Next NLP Melbourne training dates.

This training is excellent for anyone who wants to improve their communication skills, emotional intelligence skills, learning capacity and performance ability.

I have seen just about every type of profession, occupation and intention for doing this training over the last 20+ years.

It always has a lot to offer.

If you can’t make the Melbourne NLP Practitioner program get in touch.  There are other ways we can look to providing you with an excellent NLP Training.

Compelling Future or Compulsive Past

One of the truly great contributions from NLP is to offer people a means of controlling their own lives.

Gone are the days when a person might be stuck in an endless cycle of repetitive behaviors and responses resulting in the tedium of ever diminishing effectiveness.

So what is the means by which these, at times near miraculous, results are achieved?

NLP Master Practitioner Training Session

Heading off to facilitate Day 7 of an NLP Masterprac tomorrow.

It’s time to start integrating skills with the various Filters (Metaprograms) and go more in depth with Sleight of Mouth Patterns.

I have always found the following exercise useful for training with Filters.

Every person writes down a few combinations of 3 Filters on different pieces of paper – an example would be Toward / Global / Others another might be Internal Frame of Reference / Difference / Detail.

You end up with several pieces of paper with these combinations in them.  Put them all into a hat.  In a two person exercise one person is the NLPer and the other is the ‘client’.  The client pulls out a profile – which only they can see – and then engages in conversation using this profile as best as they can.  It is up to the NLPer to calibrate this and adjust to it and facilitate it.

Reading Body Language NLP Style

Much is being made at the moment about reading body language.  You can see TV shows to this effect and some of them have great insights it seems.

The NLP approach, at least as I see it, is very different.

The key lies in reading the association – through language, metaphors, gestures, movements and eye patterns usually – to the person’s filters (metaprograms) and sensory processing.

In any given situation, whether a person is predominantly visual or auditory or kinesthetic etc is extremely important and revealing to an NLP Practitioner.  Are they fast, can they operate on instinct, do they need set procedures and protocols in place, are they trapped – even for a moment – in self talk, how do they change this under stress and so forth.

Sharp Mind – Sharp Life

One of the most consistent traits I have noticed with my clients over the years comes from their capacity to facilitate their own internal senses.

The ‘best of the best’ in terms of performance levels and abilities have an amazing capacity to change their internal senses, or submodalities.  As soon as I ask them to do some elementary NLP processes – make a picture slightly bigger, bring it closer, change an aspect of the sound – it is done.

The high degree of flexibility they demonstrate with this seems to directly relate to their high performance standards.  This is so for elite athletes, artists of various types as well as those who demonstrate a high capacity for Emotional Intelligence.

Anchoring

Anchoring is one of the most profoundly effective tools that NLP has.  Usually it is thought of in terms of the garden variety version covered in most NLP Practitioner programs.

That is to elicit a state from your client / audience and then anchor it with a particular gesture or phrase or touch or tone or any combination of these.

This is etremely effective if properly executed.

There are some nuances you can bring to this though.  Far and away, I find the most subtle anchors involve using voice tone.  It is amazing what you can do with this and not be noticed at the conscious level.  A perfect example of the power of vocal variability comes with a highly skilled actor.
