What is Neuro-Linguistic Programming?

The name comes from three disciplines:

N - Neurology - The mind and how we think about things.
L - Linguistics - The power of language; how we use it; how it effects us
P - Programming - How behaviours are put together; how we do what we do.

It is the 'study of the structure of the subjective experience.'

It is a method for modelling excellence.

It is the influence of language on our mind and the subsequent behaviour.

It is a learning strategy.

It is a study in communication - our communication with ourselves, with others and with the wider world.

It is an exploration of how we can facilitate change through a systematic approach to whatever problems beset us, and goals or achievements we aspire to.

What all this means is that the processes explored through NLP in how we think, feel and act accelerate the learning of new and more positive outcomes. So whatever the issue is that you want resolving, NLP can help you find a personal route to un-locking the answers you already have but for some reason struggle to access: NLP can provide you with the key.

OK...But what is NLP?

As human beings we classify and codify everything we experience. The things we see, hear, feel, smell, taste are all stored away in a systematic way so we can re-access those experiences whenever we need to. Sometimes it feels like we don't want to have a particular experience again, and the revisited memories only serve to fuel phobias, fears or cycles of anxieties which on the surface feel unhelpful and counter-productive.

You may have particular sections of your memeory for particular sensations, your fear-response may be located in a significant part of your unconscious, or it may lie somewhere hard to reach. You may remember things in a particular sequence; you may learn in the same way.

NLP is a method of finding out how you store all that information and to then discover how you can make it all work for you in a more productive and fullfilling way.

You may be able to change the way you remember something to help overcome a memory that has been troubling to you for years. By changing where this memory is located, and how you view it's reallocated status, can have dramatic results.

Of course, some of this is true for everyone, and all of it is true for some.

But if you take a moment now...

...to think about and remember the colour of the front door to your childhood home...

  ...I wonder if you looked into the middle ground, eyes glazing over slightly...

  ...or if your eyes drifted up as you searched for that colour.

  Notice what you notice.

And the next time you remember something visual, or observe someone else remembering something visual, notice what you, and they are doing with their eyes as they search...
