Neuro Linguistic Programming Report (NLP)

Day 1.

What is NLP?

This is the beginning of a five step course that you have signed up to through thebodymindandsoul.com. This first installment will explain to you what NLP is about. The description below is a very brief introduction but one that will hopefully quickly show you the potential power of NLP.

The human mind understands the world through its sensory perceptions. Thousands and thousands of messages are being sent to the brain every second. In order to function and not be paralyzed by all this, the information is filtered to the conscious mind. For example you probably are not aware of how the seat feels underneath you until it is mentioned and brought to your conscious attention.

These filters and how they are applied are what makes our personalities different. They affect how we respond to different situations and are therefore important in everything we do. What NLP manages is the changing of those filters to create a reaction to a situation in the way that is desired. This has been done by modeling top performers and uncovering the filters that they use in the world. For example an individual may fear presentations and another may not find them traumatic at all. The difference is how they interpret the external stimuli and bring them into their consciousness. Neither individual is either more brave or strong, each is just reacting to what their brain is telling them.

If we break the ideas down into steps the process is simple.

1). Figure out and decide what it is we specifically want to achieve.

2). Study and understand what would have to be in place in order for you to achieve number 1.

3). Look at where you are now and what behavior needs to change.

Once we have the above information the techniques in NLP allow you to change your behavior.

In the reports that follow we have put together some of the most useful and easy to use NLP techniques. The techniques have been chosen because of their wide application. They are useful for everyone regardless of what their personal goals are.
