WHAT STATE ARE YOU IN?

Much of NLP is based around learning to control your own state. That means much more than just the mood you are in, although that is a big part of it. It also includes how you are standing, moving, breathing, what expression you have on your face, as well as how you are feeling on the inside. Altering these things is under your control so choosing to do so in a way that positively affects your state is to be actively encouraged. 

We have been working not only on getting ourselves into great states but in inducing them in others. These can include many different states - from relaxed to energized, from resourceful to playful, from excited to calm and mellow etc.- you really do have a choice. Once induced, the states can be anchored - that is, connected to a physical stimulus, and then recreated at will. With practice they can be recreated very intensely indeed. We've been experimenting with this, whilst working with others both in and out of trance.

In addition we've been doing a lot of work around language patterns - truisms, presuppositions and the use of the Meta and Milton models. It has been a fantastic course so far. Three more days to go and loads more stuff still to explore.

NLP really has changed my life. If you are interested to learn how it could change yours too - drop me an email. When now would be a good time to do that?
