Neuro-Linguistic Programming

What is Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)

NLP is a set of tools and strategies to duplicate any successful result, or to change any negative one. Neuro (our mind) linguistic (our language) programming (our automatic programs running subconsciously) is the most powerful set of tools this century to accelerated change and amazing results. It is about using the language of our mind to create programs of success.

Stated generally, NLP is the study and practice of how behavior is influenced by language, and vice versa.  Specifically, however, NLP is a set of ideas and techniques practitioners can use in order to cause major changes and shifts in a person.  Simply by using special language patterns, actions, and concepts, an NLP Practitioner can reprogram the way a person thinks, and change their life forever!

How does NLP work?

NLP does not utilize formal trance or other hypnotic phenomena, but it does work well together with Hypnosis, EFT and Time Dynamics to interact with the unconscious mind in simple and safe ways. By understanding simple programs that we already run unconsciously, an NLP practitioner can easily discover which ones are serving you and which ones are blocking you from the success you deserve. Some examples of our programs are our values, meta programs, emotional patterns, decisions, beliefs, memories, language, spiral dynamics system, conditioned responses like anchors, and our submodalities.

Imagine by simply shifting the pictures in ones head about a certain food, the results can be extreme in no longer craving for that food any longer. How great for a client when the new diet is going wonderfully except for that darn cookie! Or when a client has a negative emotional reaction every time their spouse asks about paying the bills. After several times looking at their spouse and worrying about bills, the negative emotional state is anchored to the spouse's face. Then the next time they simply look at them to ask a neutral question, the same negative emotion comes back. They think love it gone - its not! Its just a negative anchor, and how amazing will it feel when that anchor no longer exists and is replaced by a passionate or deep love feeling. All this and so much more is possible and easy to achieve for yourself and your clients with Neuro-Linguistic Programming or NLP.
