What Are The Main Principles Promoted By Neurolinguistic Programing?

By Trevor Johnson

Neurolinguistic Programing is one of the most popular communication theories, being successfully used in negotiation, sales, marketing, therapy, business and coaching. Most people recognize that the human mind is an extremely powerful. "tool. " and that we use only a small part of this potential. NLP shows us how the brain works and how to make better decisions.

How exactly can we achieve the desired results? We have all the resources we need to change our behavior; all we have to do is to find the person (or persons) who have already done what we want to achieve. In other words, to identify models of excellence and use the same strategies they used. It all started as a study of the relationship between neurology, linguistics and patterns (models) of behavior (programs).

NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming) can be defined in many ways. Mainly, it is a way of communication and personal development that is based on the connection between brain, verbal (what we think and say) and non-verbal language. This connection influences our inner state (what we feel) and external behavior (what we do).

This method gives you the ability to achieve the most appropriate mental, emotional and physical state in a particular situation. NLP is based on studies conducted on successful people who have achieved remarkable results in career and personal life. This means that neuro-linguistic programming analyzes the structure of subjective experiences of people (the way they talk and act) to build models of excellence.

NLP was first promoted as a form of psychological therapy with positive effects on people with phobias, behavioral disorders, psychosomatic diseases, depression, etc. It was also described as the art and science of personal excellence or the science of communications brilliance. Excellence comes from having many choices.

At an organizational level NLP comes with a number of techniques and applications that form the basic tools and skills necessary for effective management, organizational development and leadership. As we said before, all these tools, techniques and skills have been applied by leaders, top managers and consultants worldwide. - 31969

How To Easily Hypnotize Anybody For Fun And Pleasure

By George Hutton

If you have ever been hypnotized, you know what an incredibly wonderful experience it can be. The truth is that it's pretty easy to hypnotize anybody, so long as you have their permission before hand, and they actually want to be hypnotized. Most people are hypnotized half the time anyway. So it's pretty natural to be able to hypnotize people.

One thing you'll need before you start is what they want. Do they want to quit smoking? Lose weight? Get rid of their craving for chocolate ice cream? Or do they just want a relaxed experience for a while? No matter what it is, respect their wishes and promise you'll do your best to make their wishes come true under hypnosis.

OK, now you're ready to get started. Have them get into a relaxed position, whatever that means for them. Sitting back, laying on the floor, whatever. Once they're in position, ask them to take a few slow breaths. Have them they are breathing in magical relaxation gas, and breathing out stress and anxiety.

Once they have become really relaxed and look like a bowl full of jelly, you can start guiding their attention. Get them to focus on each body part, starting with their head, and finishing on their feet, relaxing each part as they go.

Now's the time to start with the commands. You can tell them to do whatever they told you they wanted to do before. Stop smoking, or lose weigh, or whatever. Spend about ten minutes on this part. Speak slowly and relaxed, and try to match the rate of your speaking with the rate of their breathing.

After you're done reprogramming their brain, you can wake them up. Count slowly from one to five, and tell them that each step they will feel more awake. Once they are awake, give them a few minutes to shake it off. Then you can trade places, and have some more fun. - 31969

NLP Rewind Technique - Take Charge Of Your Life Now!

By Trevor Johnson

There is nothing worse than being scared of something so much that it takes hold of your life in all its facets. It sometimes leads to anxiety, depression and a feeling of dread all day long. Or maybe you have a phobia that really creates all sorts of problems in your workplace. It is possible to get help quickly and in this article we will endeavor to offer some reprieve by explaining the NLP rewind technique.

NLP or it's full name; Neuro-Linguistic-Programming as been around for a long time, but has only been used productively in the past few years. Research has found that we tend to replay the problem in our minds over and over again until we cannot differentiate between past and present. What might have happened to us in the past has somehow jumped into our present in a very real and frightening way. Hence the anxiousness and sweaty palms and even heart palpitations manifest at the slightest recall.

Let's look at a report recently brought to our attention:

A 40 year old mother of two Janet, lives with the fear of driving a car. She is otherwise happy and content but has never sat behind wheel of a car. She relied on many people to assist her with her errands and especially getting her children from A to B. She lost her young brother in a tragic car accident and is convinced that she will also die if she drives a car.

She has made all kinds of excuses not to drive throughout her life and depended on her husband, family members and friends to fetch the children from school and drive her to do her errands.

First she would imagine herself in a cinema with a large screen. She is comfortable, calm and feeling really relaxed. She would then start her movie with various actors playing various parts. Her movie would be in black and white as to give it an old look. She would imagine exactly where the accident happened and recall all her memories of the event in graphic detail.

Once her movie was playing, she would leave her chair and stand somewhere so that she could observe herself. She would then be able to see her reactions and facial expressions but realize that she was no longer in the movie, but just observing it from a distance. This created the important step of disassociation.

She was then gradually allowed to change the color of her movie into technicolor. This immediately brightened up the mood of the movie. She was then urged to watch her movie until the end in a position where she was not frightened because she was observing from the side lines, while rewinding and fast forwarding her movie and putting some positive scenes like music and nice objects around the actors. She started to imagine that she was driving in her little car, safe and sound while soothing music played on the radio.

She was in control and nothing bad happened in her new movie. She repeated the rewinding a few times and has successfully taken her drivers test and is now mobile for the first time in her life, by applying the nlp rewind technique and changing her future for the better. - 31969

Have Greater Confidence With NLP Sales Technique

By Ryan Camana

One of the presuppositions of NLP sales is to always operate from a physiology of excellence. This means if you want to be excellent at something then adopt the posture and attitude of those people that are excellent at doing said action. Seems simple enough. Now there is a lot more to actually modeling someone, say like a boxer or great salesperson, than their posture. But how about if I let you in on a little secret body position that ALL people naturally use when they experience victory. A simple gesture you can use when your frustrated and down on yourself. Or when you have negative internal dialog just ruining your day.

Before I tell you about that gesture and exactly how I found out about it, lets go over why this gesture works to create positive thinking. One very powerful technique of NLP is called a pattern interrupt. Think of a pattern interrupt like an unexpected detour. Imagine you're driving to work in the morning. Taking the same route you always take. And taking this same route you really don't have to think. Your unconscious mind knows exactly how to get you... BAMMMM. A giant tree just falls into the road in front of you. Completely blocking your path, now you have to take a different route. Herein lies the magic. At this point you can either take another route and get all bent out of shape that your late for work and on and on...

Or, you can decide, "My god! Think of what could have happened had I been a few seconds faster... I'm so grateful that I'm still alive. This is the best day ever.! I am so lucky."

At the occurrence of the pattern interrupt, your unconscious mind is requesting instructions from you. This is the time when you can make drastic changes to your thoughts.

"I need some instructions," is what your unconscious is saying to you.

Like driving, most of your life is spent on autopilot. The unconscious mind runs its programs and patterns only looking for guidance when a decision needs to be made.

Ask yourself, what do people do when they accomplish something. Either they throw their fists in the air, or they pull them back into their sides. You've seen it before. Everyone uses the fist pump instinctively. Reading an article in science daily, I discovered that even blind people use the fist pump. Pretty amazing that its so ingrained in our culture. It doesn't actually matter which particular move you make, fists up or pulled into the sides. Either one will instantly give you the feeling that you're successful at whatever doing. Instant winners state.

I use this pattern interrupt nlp technique all the time. Especially when I get frustrated at some sales presentation I'm working on. When I'm just burning with frustration I'll throw my fists in the air and shout "Yyeeessss!" It works every time. That gesture makes me feel like I just accomplished whatever it is I am working on. I've even done it in front of other people by acting like I'm stretching and screaming "Yeeaaahh" inside my head.

When I first learned this technique I thought everyone would think I had finally lost it. The exact opposite occurred. I'd do this technique and everyone around me would want to know what was so exciting. People are so anchored with this gesture that they all wanted to join in on my success. - 31969

Unleash Your Power With NLP

By George Hutton

It has been said many times that NLP is the greatest model of communication ever invented. In this article I'll explain this a little bit, and give you some direction that can help you further in your exploration of NLP.

The origins of NLP are relatively recent. It was first created when a couple of guys from different backgrounds modeled some of the best therapists out there. NLP has it's roots in modeling the communication strategies and methods of the best communicators in the world.

One of these fantastic communicators was Milton Erickson, a medical doctor who invented a new form of hypnosis. He would use a covert, or conversational hypnosis instead of the old fashioned, direct method. People would go see him, expecting to sit in a chair while staring at a swinging watch, only to be told some random, off the wall rambling story that would somehow magically cure their problems.

By modeling this one genius, a whole collection of powerful communication strategies was developed. Today it is called the Milton Model, and there is a plethora of free information online that can help you to learn this. There is also an abundance of seminars out there where you can get some hands on experience at trying these powerful techniques.

Others have described NLP as the objective description of the subjective experience. Say you are afraid of dogs. Instead of asking why, and digging into your past when you were first bit, NLP asks how you are afraid of dogs. What images do you see, what do you imagine when you see a dog? Once you have these, it's easy to change them, and the fear of dogs can disappear.

The greatest lesson of NLP is modeling itself. With modeling, you can learn to do anything from anybody. This is in now way limited to modeling excellence in communication. You can model excellence in public speaking, or engineering, golf, or even creative thinking. Once you tap into the awesome power of NLP, you are only limited by your imagination. - 31969

This Simple Method Will Get You A Date With Any Girl You Ask

By George Hutton

If you want to ask out a girl, but don't know how, this article is for you. I'll outline a simple process that will make it easy, and make her chances of saying yes very high. When done correctly, you will get more yes answers than no answers with this powerful method.

The first step is to make sure you know her name, and she knows yours. That means you have to see her at least a couple times before you ask her out. If you ask out a random stranger in the coffee shop, you won't have as much luck as with this powerful sure thing method.

Second, you need to find out some of her interests. Find out what she likes to do in her spare time. This can be anything from dog walking to novel reading in coffee shops. Anything that she likes is fine.

Now that you got that part squared away, it's time to structure the offer. Choose an event, or create an event, that is based on one of her interests. Anything that is remotely connected to something she is interested in is fine. This will dramatically improve your chances.

Next, you will need to plan and go to the event by yourself first. Fully plan on going there alone, in your mind, before you pop the question. This will take the pressure off of her of saying yes or no. If you put too much pressure on her she might say no.

Next is to simply ask her. But don't ask her like your asking for her permission to spend time with her. Make it sound like an offer to go with you on something that you are already planning on doing, which you should be. Then if she says no, it's no big deal. She will sense this, and her chances of saying yes will go much higher than if you just ask her cold.

Once you try this a few times, you'll notice more and more girls will be more than willing to go out with you, and pretty soon you will have a full social calendar. Have fun. - 31969

Ericksonian Hypnosis Method

By Christopher Cohen

The first step to learning the skill of conversational hypnosis is to believe in yourself. This is the single most important facet of building your power of conversational hypnosis. Without the confidence to pursue the learning of this skill, you will ultimately fail. For those of you who are serious and willing to commit to the program, you will begin to yield the benefits of conversational hypnosis. The power of conversational hypnosis is based on two synergistic philosophies. These two schools of thought are pretty much identical. They are Ericksonian Hypnosis and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP). Together, these philosophies produce the art of conversational hypnosis.

The power of conversational hypnosis will give you the ability to influence people and your conversations with them in order to help improve you and your life. The basis of NLP and Ericksonian Hypnosis is through indirect suggestion that massages the unconscious mind in hopes that you will be able to resolve inner conflict that resides within your subconscious thus altering your behavior in what we commonly all refer to as Reality.

You can use the power of conversational hypnosis to transform your life and conversations. By using NLP and relaxation you are able to bring the other person into a state of persuasion. During this relaxed state, you are able to tamp in the unconscious and use indirect suggestion to control the tempo of the discussion. From there, you can enter the experiences that are stored in the deep subconscious to alter or adapt them.

Indirect embedded suggestion is how Neuro Linguistic Programming relates to the power of conversational hypnosis. Instead of a medical office environment, these techniques can be employed wherever and whenever. You may even find it fun and enjoyable to engage in conversation with just about anyone. The world will open up to you in ways that you never would have imagined. Every encounter will be an opportunity with the power of conversational hypnosis by your side.

One of the key things to remember is that the person you are speaking to must be relaxed. The more relaxed the person is that more they will be open to indirect embedded suggestion. For example, you can ask someone about their family, since family is typically personal and dear to them. However, if they seem to be agitated simply move to a another topic and shift your focus to that.

As you practice the power of conversational hypnosis, your skills in Ericksonian Hypnosis will become more natural and will become even more seamless as you induce the person into a state of relaxation. Once you've achieved this state of relaxation, you are now ready to embed indirect suggestions on the person. Neuro Linguistic Programming is now ready to be applied to the person in a deep state of relaxation.

The unconscious mind cannot discern between negations and affirmations. This is very important to keep in mind when choosing how you implement your indirect embedded suggestions. This can be exemplified in the following basic example. Imagine you are carrying a tray of wine to the patio and on your way, someone says "Be careful, don't spill them!" Even though this may seem to be a friendly reminder, what you don't know is that it has set in motion an increase in likelihood that you will actually spill the wine. This is because your subconscious mind and conscious mind cannot tell the different between the two.

Here is another example. Sit comfortably or lie down, whichever is more comfortable for you. Now, do NOT focus on your breath for 15 seconds. Now, take a 15 second break and come back when you're done. I'm gonna take a wild guess here and say that you thought about your breath for the whole 15 seconds. This is a basic example of how the unconscious mind cannot discern what a negation is.

Through NLP, you will be able to transform your life and improve your wellness. The power of conversational hypnosis will also enable you to make real changes in other people lives as well. Casual conversations will be more exciting and rewarding through engaging their subconsciousness. You should give the power of NLP and conversational hypnosis a try and see the difference it makes. - 31969

Neuro Linguistic Programming Anchoring - How It Helps

By Trevor Johnson

Basically, neuro linguistic programming is just an increased state of mind in which you can use to bring yourself in to a much more peaceful state. Many people use this technique to reach higher success levels at work or even to just stay ahead of things in day to day life.

If you can learn to use NLP anchoring you can enable yourself to find a place in your mind that is free of stress and frustrations. At work this can be really helpful, but it can also be a good thing to use if you are simply aggravated with someone.

Studies that have been conducted on this have shown results that point to the ability to increase the effectiveness of the technique by finding more than one anchor to use at a time.

To effectively practice this technique you will need to be able to find and put yourself in to a calm state of mind that mimics that of one you have experienced in the past. It may be the feeling you had when you got an A on a test, the birth of your child or even just a thank you for a job well done. No matter what it is, use it to your advantage.

Different types of memories can have different effects on us. After you have found one that works for you, figure out how you can call upon it at any time you need to use it.

Successful use of this technique will not happen in a day and it will take time for you to develop a method that works for you. The anchor you choose to use can be a picture, a voice, a sound or even a smell. Use what gives you the best results. For parents, their most effective memory is one that involves their children, often their voice. For other people it be something you accomplished all on your own without anyone's help.

While the list of things you can use can be rather long, what it really takes is a serious commitment on your part. Before ever attempting to use this method you need to sit down and really think about all of things in your life that bring you happiness. This is an easy way to put yourself in a better state of mind and keep you on track. - 31969

How to Use Covert Persuasion To Help Others And Improve Your Sales

By George Hutton

I would like to share with you some powerful insights into the world of covert and conversational persuasion. A lot of people think that this is some kind of underhanded trickery, but that's not the case at all. You can create wonderful feelings of happiness in people when you use conversational persuasion.

In actuality, most people don't like to make decisions. Most of us naturally defer to those in power, and are happy to go along with a competent leader, so long as they know what they are doing. Simply put, most of us are followers, and very few of us are actual leaders. If you have any doubts, next time you are sitting in a meeting at work, watch how many people will voluntarily suggest a course of action.

Despite readily giving in to the decision of a strong leader, most people still would like to feel that their opinion counts for something. This is where covert persuasion is particularly powerful. With the right handling people will be more than happy to go along with your ideas and suggestions.

When the opinions of people are treated correctly, the people being persuaded will willingly go along with whatever the persuader will suggest. This can prove to be very powerful indeed.

A great benefit of involving the customer in the sales process is that you will greatly reduce any instances of "buyer's remorse." If you've ever gotten home and found yourself with a product that you don't want or need, you know exactly what I'm talking about. You can avoid this altogether with the right techniques.

When you use persuasion and involve the customer, they will not only be glad they bought from you, or decided to go along with your way of thinking, but they'll also tell all their friends about you. This can be great if you work in a referral system.

When you realize these simple ideas about covert persuasion, you can begin to understand that it is the best way to achieve a win win agreement with somebody. And this is true for all situations when persuasion would be appropriate. The only limits are in your imagination. - 31969
