Neuro-Linguistic Programming is a science and art, that deals with behaviours and uses principles, attitudes and techniques using scientific theories and human behaviour.

NLP, gives you tools necessary to understand the way you process events and life. It provides methods for being more effective in getting what you want from your life and creating what you want in the future!

Your mind is similar to a computer in how information is processed and programmed.  Understanding how you process information, through your eyes, ears, feelings, etc., gives you control to change what you desire and to live with a better quality of life.

The techniques provide effective and new ways to understand others and ourselves and others by observing the patterns  people use both the effective ones and the ones that are not so effective.  In people's minds there are pictures and models that represents their representation of the world.  The creators of NLP are Richard Bandler and John Grinder. They discovered by watching and modelling effective people, that there was a method of understanding how people think and how their thinking relates to their lives.  They would observe eye movement, language, actions and feeling and put together some information that translated how people processed information and achieved the results they wanted in their lives.

VISUAL, AUDITORY, KINESTHETIC

VISUAL-  Watching the eye movements of people shows the way they process information and if they are creating something new or recovering pictures from the past. Visual people are interested in how someone looks at them and uses their sense of sight to interpret the world. They will use words like, See, Look, Clear, Picture and Notice. 

AUDITORY - Auditory people use listening skills to interpret the world.  They will talk to themselves with what they are experiencing, and respond to verbal information and use words when they speak like, Said, Talk, Listen, Speak, Hear, etc.

KINESTHETIC - Kinesthetic people will be feeling people, and breath deeply from the bottom of their lungs, and speak very slowly.  They will take time to respond as they have to search their feelings before they answer. They use words like, Get a Grip, Hang in There, That feels Good, Touch, Handle, Grasp.

RAPPORT

RAPPORT- being able to communicate with anyone either at home or work, will improve the quality of your life. Developing skills that help strengthen rapport will be an effective way to get what you want.  The way you project, speak and act, both consciously and unconsciously will effect how other people perceive you and how well you communicate.

ACCESSING POSITIVE STATES

ACCESSING POSITIVE STATES - everyone experiences times when everything is going great and they have all the resources  to make their lives what they want.  NLP helps to find these resources and to apply them to where and when they are not being resourceful and transform them to a positive state.
