Introduction to Neuro Linguistic Programming

By RAMSESVII

Today the world is fraught with people who are experiencing a variety of different problems. Many
of these problems are holding people back from achieving their goals, their hopes and their dreams.
In some cases, a variety of issues may be holding someone prisoner inside a network of unhealthy
habits, addictions and mental disorders, including phobias and fears.
There is absolutely no reason why anyone must put up with such problems any longer. Neuro
linguistic programming is a method that thousands of people around the world have turned to
in the last few years in order to help them overcome a variety of different problems. While the
techniques utilized in NLP are commonly used to treat problems such as fears and phobias, they are
also increasingly being used to assist with other problems as well. Many people have even turned
to NLP in order to help them overcome bad habits and addictions.
NLP is also increasingly being used by many in the business world in order to help them develop a
stronger rapport with clients and prospective clients and assist them in meeting their sales goals.
While NLP is certainly applicable in the business world, it can also be used personally in order to
overcome barriers that may be holding you back and preventing you from enjoying a more fulfilling
and satisfying life.
In the next several chapters we are going to explore the basis of NLP, what is involved in this
technique and how you can put it to work in your own life in order to make it as positive as
possible.

What is Neuro-Linguistic Programming?

Neuro-linguistic programming, often referred to simply as NLP, is a form of studying the way in which the brain works in order to derive strategies that can be used in order to produce desired results. The founders of this revolutionary study are John Grinder and Richard Bandler. It was through the study of the techniques that some of the most successful people in the world use in order to produce their desired results that neruo-linguistic programming was derived. Grinder and Bandler studied the behavior as well as the patterns and language of successful people and were able to dissect that behavior in order to model and then reproduce each strategy.

How is NLP Used?

Today, NLP is used to address a variety of different issues, including anxiety and phobias. In addition, NLP is also commonly used to address issues related to self-esteem such as improving self-confidence and improving relationships. NLP can also be used to communicate in a more effective manner, improve motivation and improve problem solving skills. Other benefits of NLP can include developing leadership skills, relieving stress and meeting one's goals.

Ultimately, NLP involves studying the way in which we interpret and then related to the world around us. It should be fully understood that NLP is not an abstract form of simply theoretical knowledge. By understanding the models involved in NLP, it is possible to gain control over the way in which the human brain makes sense of an experience and then taking action in order to change that experience.

NLP can be utilized in a variety of different settings and in many different environments. It is commonly used in business, particularly in environments involving sales. It has often been said that NLP can be the key to improving your personal wealth. As the benefits of NLP come to be more widely known, it is increasingly being used in a variety of other venues as well, including athletics.

The Foundations of NLP

Communication Models

There are two different models of communication that are utilized in neuro-language processing. The model known as the Meta Model involves a process of developing and then refining precision in communication through language as well as meaning.

The Milton Model involves vagueness that is artful. In this model supplied meaning is deliberately lacking, allowing the listener to provide their own meaning instead of relying upon supplied meaning.

Presuppositions

Presuppositions are also an important element in understanding NLP. Presuppositions, in terms of NLP, are sets of beliefs which are modeled upon the working beliefs of the two therapists which were initially studied in the creation of NLP. It is important to understand that these are beliefs only, not truths. This is crucial to the foundation of NLP. There are no truths in NLP. Only models exist. In specific contexts, these beliefs can be useful;
