What is NLP?
Neuro Linquistic Programming (NLP) is utilizing specific techniques that restructure our brains thinking and our bodies behaviors in a positive manner by aligning the conscious with the unconscious mind. It enables an individual to redesign their physical and emotional responses by interrupting existing thought and behavioral patterns to create new responses and choices that move us towards desired results in our life.
NLP utilizes language and imagination in a way that leads the mind to create pictures, sounds, feelings, tastes, smells, and self talk that create new inner perspectives. By creating new neurological pathways we can then expect a new experience of our model of the world.
The three components of NLP are:
Neuro - the nervous system taking in information through the five senses
- Visual (sight)
- Auditory (sound)
- Kinesthetic (touch)
- Olfactory (smell)
- Gustatory (taste)
Linquistic - becoming aware of how communication occurs within ourselves and others. . Using language to guide our mind toward change, and speaking to others based on their model of the world through:
- Pictures
- Sounds
- Feelings
- Tastes
- Smells
- Internal Dialogue
Programming - using specific techniques to interrupt old patterns and behaviors by reprogramming our mind for optimal high performance.
