Its title gives one an answer. 'Neuro' refers to the mind and how we organize our mental life. 'Linguistic' is about language, how we use it and how it affects us. 'Programming' is about our sequences of repetitive behavior and how we act with purpose. Hypnosis refers to an advanced technique of application developed for Internet usage, be means of a non-trance focus procedure most persons can easily do. So NLP is about connection, for purposefully our thoughts, speech and actions are what connects us to others, the world and to the spiritual dimension.
This book explains how NLP translates into your everyday life. Although well grounded in psychological theory and research, NLP is first and foremost about action. It gives you more choices in your mind and body, and so frees you to explore your spirit.
The starting point of NLP is curiosity and fascination about people. It is the study of the structure of subjective experience. How do we do what we do? How do we think? How do we learn? How do we get angry? And how do outstanding people in any field get their results? To answer these questions NLPH explores how we think and feel and studies or 'models' excellence in every walk of life. Obviously important for any seeking to change some issue or behavior. The•answers can then be taught to others. The goal is excellence for all.
Origins of NLP and NLPH (ITS PRESENT DAY INTERNET USAGE EXTENSION)
NLP began in the early 1970s when Richard Bandler, a student of psychology and computer programming student at the than new University of California, Santa Cruz, began working with John Grinder, then a PhD, Assistant Professor of Linguistics. Together they developed a linguistic based process, called 'modeling', by which they could discern the sequence of ideas and behavior that enables a person to accomplish a particular task must along concepts found in computer science as it was being developed at the time. Its obvious extension was to the mind processes involving language caused then to experiment with the discovered process encompassing language, words, meaning and thinking from the modernized perspective.
To possibility of humans reprogramming mind process fascinated them. Just as changes with a computer programmed application, by a programmer who understands the process.
The reprogramming of human thought, feelings and behavior had long been a goal of educators and psychologists whom had modest success but seemed to lack proof that any that any particular system of the many considered was better to produce beneficial changes was any than some other one. of the mind Together, Bandler and Grinder offer a new approach based on their merger of aspects the linguistic model and the computer software concepts that had captured their imagination. There were of course, some issue not easily reconciled, particularly the agreed issue brain and computers are not the same thing. This led to the critics to say the Bandler-Grinder experiments were unscientific. In response the computer metaphor was shifted to the brain and the human nervous system. Also there was a need to an approach more clinical than academic-experimental, where people with traits, habits, behaviors they wish to change could use and benefit from this new approach. The breakthrough occurred almost by accident when
Fritz Perls, the innovative German psychologist who had emegrated to the US and was at the UC, Santa Cruz Campus, demonstrating his practical applications of Gestalt therapy on subjects who had volenteridly came to his demonstrations with some psychological issue or problem.
NLP and the later developed NLPH, has given rise to a number of practical techniques that can be used both for self-use and professionally conducted advance work. These concepts anf techniques are used today as "coaching" world wide in fields such as sports, business, sales and education. Also socially, to enable us not only to reach out and influence others, but also to reach in and unify all the different parts of ourselves. (The beleived causative Issues behind so much of relatonship conflicts ,disconnects, and unhappyness that are so common today that are are called "normal neurotic".
Should you wish enter this aproeach, you will need to learn how to aquire these skills, and learn as you go deeper and uncover more about yourself and how you got that way. How far amd how "deep" you self-analyse depend on the goals yous set fr yourself, as well as the level of benefits that results.
There are principles in NLP (which also extend to the self hypnosis useage of "NLPH") that are useful to optomize the best on-line practice as a person progresses step by step, through the necisary drills and practices, which should be taylored to that persons needs, habits, quirks as the NLP detection process uncovers them. This where I believe many clients stall and fail
Which is why self-help needs a personal trainer or therapist, to make sure client is not wandering off tract due to misdirrecting his efforts.
The first principle, is a feelinf of relationship, specifically, that relationship of mutual trust and responsiveness known as rapport. It can be applied both to your relationship with yourself and to your relationship with others but mostly to your doctor, coach or therapist. help
We begin with the rapport you have with yourself. The greater the degree of physical rapport you have with yourself, the greater your (4 health and well-being, for the different parts of your body are working well with each other. The greater your mental rapport with yourself, the more you feel at peace with yourself, for the different parts of your mind are united. Rapport at the spiritual level can manifest as a sense the psychology of excellence'. It has a vision of a world in which there is no shortage of excellence and where education is about helping everyone to be outstanding.
Presuppositions
This book is arranged around the basic operating principles, or presuppositions, of NLP. They are called presuppositions because you presuppose them, that is, you act as if they were true and notice the results you get. They are actually working hypotheses that may or may not be literally true. NLP does not claim they are true. The question to ask is not 'Are they true?' but 'Are they useful?'
There is no orthodox list of NLP presuppositions, so we have selected the ones that are most commonly used and which we think are the most important. [or best fit for your intentions-.]
of belonging to a larger whole, beyond individual identity, and knowing our place in creation.
There are many who have all the external trappings of success, yet are unhappy within themselves. You may have noticed that such people make others uneasy too. We seem to arrange the world in a way that reflects our internal state. So internal conflicts create external ones and the quality of the rapport we have with ourselves is often a mirror of what we achieve with others.
Whatever you do and whatever you want, being successful will involve relating to and influencing others. So the first pillar of NLP is to establish rapport with yourself and then others.
The second pillar is to know what you want. Without knowing what you want, you cannot even define what success is. In NLP this is known as setting your goal or outcome. It is a whole way of thinking. You consistently ask yourself, 'What do I want?' and others, 'What do you want?'
The third pillar is known as sensory acuity. This means using your senses: looking at, listening to and feeling what is actually happening to you. Only then will you know whether you are on course for your goal. You can use this feedback to adjust what you are doing if necessary.
The fourth pillar is behavioural flexibility. You have many choices of action. The more choices you have, the more chance of success. Keep changing what you do until you get what you want. This sounds simple, even obvious, yet how many times do we do just the opposite?
Logical levels
We build relationships on different levels. The American researcher and NLP trainer Robert Dilts uses a series of what he calls neurological levels that have been widely adopted in NLP thinking. They are very useful for thinking about building rapport and personal change.
The first level is the environment (the where and when).
The environment is the place we are in and the people we are with. You have probably heard people say that they were in the 'right place at the right time'. They are attributing their success to their environment. At this level, shared circumstances build rapport.
The second level is behaviour (the what).
This is the level of our specific, conscious actions: what we do. In NLP behaviour includes thoughts as well as actions. What we do is not random; our behaviour is designed to achieve a purpose, although this may not always be clear, even to us. We may want to change our behaviour, smoking or constantly losing our temper, for example. But sometimes unwanted behaviour may be difficult to change because it is closely connected with other neurological levels.
The third level is capabilities i(the how).
This is the level of skill: behaviour that we have practised so often it has become consistent, automatic and often habitual. This includes thinking strategies and physical skills. We all have many basic intrinsic skills, such as walking and talking, and also consciously learnt skills, such as reading or playing a musical instrument.
The fourth level is beliefs and values (the why).
This is the level of what we believe is true and what is important to us. Beliefs and values direct our lives to a considerable extent, acting both as permissions and prohibitions. Are there some skills you would like to develop, but think you can't? As long as you believe you can't, you won't. We are also capable of holding conflicting beliefs and values, resulting in actions that contradict each other over time.
The fifth level is identity (the who).
Have you heard someone say something like 'I am just not that kind of person'? That is an identity statement. Identity is your sense of yourself, your core beliefs and values that define who you are and your mission in life. Your identity is very resilient, although you can build, develop and change it.
-------
Finally, the sixth level is the spiritual level.
This is your connection to others and to that which is more than your identity, however you choose to think of it. Rapport at this level is described in spiritual literature as being one with humankind, the universe or God.
When NLP was developed in the early 1970s, there was a gap in psychological thinking. The Behaviourist psychology of the time was about action and reaction, stimulus-response, the interaction between environment and behaviour. There were also many value-based psychological systems, stressing beliefs, relationships and self-actualization. What was conspicuously missing was the how to - the capability level. NLP stepped into this gap by providing step-by-step procedures to make excellence easily learnable.
Changing levels
Knowing the logical levels is very useful in personal change and personal development work. Change is possible at any level. The question is, which will have the most leverage, that is, give the greatest result for the smallest effort? A change at the belief level is likely to affect skills and behaviour a great deal, a change in identity even more so. You can work from the top down or from the bottom up, all the levels relate together systemically.
