The Basic concepts of NLP
Tell a Friend
Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a set of specific techniques that deliberately restructure toward positive functioning the brain’s thinking and the body’s behaviours by aligning the conscious with the unconscious mind and body.
NLP offers highly refined tools to take charge of every area of life in the most effective way possible to produce results. It enables individuals to proactively design their physical and emotional responses.
The three components of NLP are:
Neuro The nervous system (the mind), through which our experience is processed via five senses:
- Visual
- Auditory
- Kinaesthetic
- Olfactory
- Gustatory
Linguistic: Language and other non-verbal communication systems through which our neural representations are coded, ordered and given meaning.
Includes:
- Pictures
- Sounds
- Feelings
- Taste
- Smells
- Words (Self Talk)
Programming: The ability to discover and utilize the programs that we run (our communication to ourselves and others) in our neurological systems to achieve our specific and desired outcomes.
Understanding the mind is like a computer with thought patterns as the software, discovering what programs are determining current experiences.
