Neuro Linguistic Programming – NLP

What is NLP or Neuro Linguistic Programming?

I’m going to simplify the way to understand Neuro Linguistic Programming or NLP but before I do let’s break down that long phrase and create understanding of each word.

The word Neuro in Neuro Linguistic Programming or NLP basically means or represents the nervous system (some circles associate this to “the mind”), through which every experience we have is processed via our 5 senses: Visual (sight), Auditory (hearing), Kinesthetic (feeling), Olfactory (smell) and Gustatory (taste).

The word Linguistic in Neuro Linguistic Programming or NLP represents the language and other non-verbal communication systems through which our neural (brain) representations are ordered, coded and given meaning. The ways through which our brain receives, stores and transmits information are through pictures, sounds, feelings, tastes, smells and also by words in the form of self talk or what we say to ourselves.

And finally, the word Programming in Neuro Linguistic Programming or NLP represents the existing programs and strategies that we already use to do everything we do and communicate to ourselves and others. So within the context of the whole phrase Neuro Linguistic Programming, it means the ability to discover and utilize the programs and strategies that we run in our neurological systems in order to achieve our specific and desired results.

Now, to simplify all that, one could say that Neuro Linguistic Programming or NLP is a method or system of using the language of the mind to consistently achieve our specific and desired results and outcomes in life. Or, you can also take it as an art that uses Neuro Strategies to help people succeed and create excellence in any area of their life.

Now having said that, because in NLP or Neuro Linguistic Programming we are using the language of the mind and engaging the entire nervous system, we are influencing and affecting change at the deep core level of a person. This is why NLP is such a powerful, effective and fast way to help people create the results and outcomes that they want in their life.

How Does Neuro Linguistic Programming or NLP Work?

Again, I’m going to simplify this to create natural and easy understanding of how Neuro Linguistic Programming or NLP actually works in creating the results that you want. Every single situation, every single relationship you have with anyone and anything and everything you think, speak and do, your nervous system encodes in a specific internal language and with a specific internal strategy using the pictures, sounds, feelings, smells and even tastes that it receives.

Therefore you could say that within every single experience of anything and within every single bit of communication you have either with yourself or others, is contained certain pictures, sounds, feelings, smells or tastes, in any order or combination. It is through those senses that your nervous system understands that experience or communication. By simply shifting and changing around the way your nervous system has previously associated (through those sense) to any experience or topic, we literally create a transformation in how that experience or topic is perceived and understood by you.

Therefore, very simply put, in any NLP consultation or Neuro Linguistic Programming session, what we help you do is clear out or get your nervous system to disassociate from any limiting or negative conditioning, patterns or programs it has created related to something you would like to create better results in, and then we help create new, positive, empowering and resourceful associations, conditioning and patterns of behavior within your nervous system, in relation to that same topic or result you want. This creates an unbelievable shift and transformation very quickly in the way you see things, feel and how you will act in order to get you those results faster than many other methods out there.

Please bear in mind, there’s a lot more to how NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) works but I’ve simplified this as best I can to create and ease of understanding for anyone who is new to this.
