NLP - What Is It? Why it can change your life!?
So what is NLP?
NLP was founded in the 70's by Professor Jhon Grinder and Dr.Richard Bendler. NLP stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programming.
Since then until now NLP evolved to be a tool to transform and gain success in different domains. Business, heal and communication, NLP can help you with all those things!
In the 90's NLP techniques evolved to their third generation with many breakthroughs that brought faster and more accurate results.
NLP is the methodology that based on the assumption that every behavior has a certain structure. This structure is different from person to person and can be observed and learn in order to bring change. This technology is teaching us how to access our subconscious (or unconscious) and bring change on a deeper level.
This tool integrates three scientific domains: Neurology, Linguistics, and Behavioural sciences.
N - Neuro
The understanding of the neurological processes in our brain that responsible for perceiving information from our five senses(visual auditory kinesthetic gustatory and olfactory) to process and translate them to experiences.
L - Linguistic
Identification of the brain activity through analysis of linguistic patterns that expressed through verbal communication (the way we speak) and also our internal thinking patterns that expressed through internal dialog (The movies that in our head is how I like to put it).
P - Programming
Organizing the results of the Neurological and Linguistic patterns in our brain and include the defining of goals and the ways to get them.
Today there is more and more scientific research that shows us the brain is open for change. NLP is an approach with many techniques which help us understand and organize the way we think to get the results we want while using the capabilities inherent is us. The techniques are based on the research of excellence in successful people, therefore, is also called "The Excellence Method".
Those guys documented the excellence in their fields like:
Dr. Milton Erickson, famous American psychiatrist and psychologist specializing in medical hypnosis and family therapy which brought a huge change to our understanding of hypnosis and the way we think. Ericson is the founder of Ericksonian therapy (or Ericksonian Hypnosis).
Virginia Satir - Virginia Satir was an American author and social worker, known especially for her approach to family therapy and her work with family reconstruction.
Fritz Perls - Friedrich Salomon Perls, better known as Fritz Perls, was a noted German-born psychiatrist and psychotherapist.
Gregory Bateson -Gregory Bateson was an English anthropologist, social scientist, linguist, visual anthropologist, semiotician, and cyberneticist whose work intersected that of many other fields.
By watching these people work they modeled excellence and, which connect the language with the nervous system. They created a new approach, easy to learn with quick overwhelming results. Today people learn and use NLP around the world in different domains like Self-help, Business, and Sells, Therapy, Politics and much more.

Thank you for your effort
Great post about NLP. I'm a bit familiar with due Tony Robbins and some german speakers. It's always fascinating. I think NLP is a bit discredited because it is often placed on the same footing as manipulation and i think it can be used for. But manipulation is also in positive manner called influence and people who do that with the best intention can change the life of people for the positive and that's great. Because we are most of the time bound between helplessness and habit (see Brian Tracy) so it's very important that there are methods to free people from that curse. And i think if someone is ready than he can change his life for the better!
Thank you my full upvote!
Thank you for the best comment and upvote ;D
You are right but I think once some one is learning NLP he understands his inners self a bit better and becomes a better person who gets that he does not need to harm others to get what he wants :) the opposite! you have to give value in order to get value ^^
I started with NLP went on to hypnosis and finally got to EFT. These days I only use EFT why? Because it has the same effects but much quicker. Just Neutralize the bad experinece from the subconscious mind and let the subject fill in a positive perception. The brain will do the rest. Most of the time the effect is immediate and in less than 20 minutes. The other beauty of EFT is that the subject doesn't need to talk about their experience (so no shame barrier), he or she just need to go back to the negative experience that's all.
That depends on the results you want to get! I never said NLP is the best or the only tool :)
But I do think It can be great self-help method for many people and that's why I want to promote this blog!
Don't get me wrong I don't think NLP is better or worse. For a start NLP got me on the road of selfhelping after watching some of Bandlers stuff. All methods whether it's NLP, hypnosis or EFT have all their own benefits and trades. To a layman I would advise to start with NLP to figure out your innerworkings. Than go back into your memories and remove any negatives with EFT to finish the job. Top it of with some selfhypnosis for some re-enforcement. ;)
And there is much more that me and you still haven't learned about yet ;P
Well that's the reason why you and I are still walking around trapped in this carbon bag filled with water. ;)
Haha great perspective to life!
we are nothing but a complex set of carbons P:
Like Bill Hick used to say: Matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. We are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death, life is a dream (simulation) and we are the imagination of ourselves.
Paps,
I read a lot about NLP and I vaguely remember the 'Excellence Method' from my AP Psych class. I always liked this material; it focuses on increasing the ability of the individual, as I understood it. More people could use real scholarly articles about this.

I first heard about NLP from the American motivational speaker Anthony Robbins. It has helped me a lot.
Tonny Robbins is a legend in what he is doing! A real self-help guru!
You should watch his netflix movie "I am not your guru" and check Richard Bendler aswell :)
Thanks for your suggestions. I have been reading motivational books for ages.
You have the right mind set!
people like us should support each other toward our goals :)
great work! keep it up!
thank you brother!
