Let me tell you my own experience===
"It was one fine sunny morning that an advertisement came in the Life-Positive Magazine,India;in the month of DECEMBER.
:)
It started as follows==NLP-training for enhancing yourself and your mind.All those who are connected with education may join including Teachers,Housewives,Executives,Students,Salesperso ns,etc."
:)
This started a stream of thought in my mind. Why is this advertisement so important to have attracted my attention? Why did this Advert engage my mind which never believes anything at its first instance?Why does it address to such a wide spectrum of problems and strata of people?What does this have in store for me specifically?,...Thence,started my journey of phoning and contacting the organizers who said they were from New Delhi, and since 20 years NLP is their passion and survival in this big blistering world of existence.Now, this flummoxed and quickly stumped [in words of Cricket Game] me out and out.
:)
I quickly enrolled as a participant, although Rs.25,000/ [Its quite cheap in $555.55 you see] but it pinched me, as I had borrowed it from my Mothers hard earned money. Had she known , I would have never been given the desired amount and NLP would forever have been a distant dreamlike thing. Anyways, I did the NLP Practitioners Workshop and got myself Certified from Society of NLP[As claimed by the Organizers & printed in my Certificate].
:)
I had a distant vision, as I am an Usui Reiki Master too; the night before I had embarked on the whole process and thoughts were flashing in my sleeping mind, Alpha-state,Unconscious Self-Dialogue,etc...whatever you may choose to call it. REIKI had it ordained for me, what my conscious mind was trying to still dissuade from joining. For a middle-class family, whose sole bread-winner is myself; in India , it is termed as a rather BOLD STEP, braving against all odds and ridicule by my Wife,Mother,Friends,..etc.
:)
This time armed by my certificate, I came home satisfied that I had completed a whole new dimension of HUMAN PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT, an NLP Course is still far-and-wide Unknown to the Local Indian populace. This reality gave me far comfort and solace, on having successfully been certified as an NLP Practitioner.
:)
A Belief in Self that became a possibility...!!!
:)
Now ,since 2007,December, two fruitful years have passed ; with myself utilising NLP tips-metaphors-tricks-Models-everything whilst doing therapy for many Junior College students who were doubtful whether they would even make it to their Class GRADES. I used it with Junior as well as High Schooling Students; and still all the NLP Metaphors + Models held true and Success was seen by me.
:)
Still , although I have not begun earning anything grandiose out of NLP Therapeutics to students,....if I would have then; Jesus Be With You, I would have started my own Website.....up and running too, as there are many websites now in the global scenario,and their count increases every year.
:)
My Wife, Mother, Friends and acquaintances still rebuke me of putting the hard-earned money down the drain. My Mother [ A Junior School Dropout] and Wife [A Junior College dropout] still have the guts to chide me and rebuke me as follows===What has NLP given you, Huh, in terms of money you haven't even earned a Hundred Dollars worth? What a waste of time , money and energy for an educated young man? [Aged now 44years, and still going strong,...hahaha..]
:)
Ye can but only convince those whose destiny has been bound to learn from NLP; and not any others for ===="NLP is NOT THEIR CUP OF TEA", neither is====="NLP the Medicine of those Negatively Advanced In Mind===Mentally Absentia or Impotent Brained."
:)
I still have no MONEY TO DO MY MASTER PRACTITIONER COURSE [Worth Rs90,000/- here or as in Dollars= $ 2000.] Ha, ha, ha,...then does it not mean that I have grown to be "PENNILESS","Dime-less", "Dollar-less","Rupee-less" .....FOOL as described by all above strata of my daily daunting relationships.
:)
But, if there are still any ifs and buts remaining with God , may they gather quite fast in NLP-ians heart and soul to strengthen his path in LIFE, and JESUS BE WITH ONE AND ALL.
:)
With Lotsa Love,Hugs and Kisses to each one practicing NLP.
