Neuro Linguistic Programming

NLP for short

I've come across many different descriptions of Nlp in my studies of the subject so I'll give you some that work for me, firstly lets break it down into its component parts:

Neuro is about your neurological system. NLP is based on the idea that we experience the world through our senses and translate sensory information into thought processes, both conscious and sub conscious. Thought processes activate the neurological system, which affects physiology, emotions and behaviour.

Linguistic refers to the way human beings use language to make sense of the world, capture and conceptualise experience, and communicate that experience to others. In NLP, linguistics is the study of how the words you speak influence your experience.

Programming draws heavily from learning theory and addresses how we code or mentally represent experience. Your personal programming consists of your internal processes and strategies {thinking patterns} that you use to make decisions, solve problems, learn, evaluate and get results. 

If you were to liken your brain to a computer, you will notice that it is running a lot of different programs,  put there both by you and other people. Some of these programs are very old some quite new some are good for you others are not. NLP supplies a toolbox of techniques which enable you to delete harmful programs and install empowering new ones in their place.

NLP is a fascinating, rich and diverse subject, written about by many people and used in many walks of life. If you wish to discover more, just type NLP into your search engine and take what you feel will be of most benefit to you. In the meantime you can try this quick experiment.

Imagine its a hot, hot day, you have just got in from work and are standing in the kitchen holding a lemon you have just taken from the fridge. Notice the bright yellow of its cold waxy skin. Raise it to your nose and smell it. Mmmm. Press it gently and feel the texture and the weight of it in your hands. Now as you cut into it hear and see the cold juice run, the smell stronger now. Take a bite into the lemon and allow the juice to swirl around your mouth.

Are you salivating? Can you actually taste the lemon? Yes? That's NLP, ENJOY.
