Dont know if I'm posting in the right place but maybe not. I'm in North Carolina and I'm wondering if there are any NLP courses going on in NC or nearby areas any help is appreciated.

Musician Robert Fripp fascinates me. As well as his work with King Crimson, Brian Eno, and guest appearances with the likes of David Bowie, he is involved in Guitar Craft, an approach not just to playing guitar but life more broadly, influenced by his own schooling in Fourth Way traditions. His own input came at a personal level from J.G. Bennett, who was in turn a pupil of Gurdjieff.

Disgusted by his experiences of the music industry, Fripp started his own ethical record label, Discipline Global Mobile. He writes a diary at the DGM website, and this entry comes from December 16:

"On waking: a sense of formulating & articulating the essential characteristics of mastery. One characteristic, for example, is harmonised action: where there is a commonality in what we aim to do, our wish to do it, and our efficient functioning / operating in honouring the aim; ie there is no cognitive dissonance when serving the aim, in distinction to much of the professional life. There is no professional lying, such as doing what we know to be wrong because our job / employer / manager tells us to, or acting to favour our personal interest; eg by selling mortgages to people who have no possibility of repaying them. All this while part of our attention remains within the body; part in looking over our shoulder, impartially observing what goes on; and part in holding to our aim."

Clearly, there are parallels with issues that NLP addresses. But get beyond trying to fit what Fripp is saying into an NLP frame and discover what else his paradigm has to offer.

What thinkers, writers, creators inspire you in the way they engage with the world? Who is a role model for you in their throughline between belief and action?

hello friends
i am new to UR community of connections
my name is Harjit Singh iam NLPer i had dun my master prictioner training 2 -3 months back in india -bombay where i belong :))
and i am married having 1 wife ,4 kids
i am 40 having my own business of manufacturing Doors.

i want to achieve the BEST of HUMAN being
from ALL areas of life like HEALTH, MONEY, STATIOUS, SPRITUALITY etc.
i thing this is for now seeyaa
next time

I just looked at this:


Apart from the fact I suspect a dig at Paul McKenna's work, presumably "I Can Make You Thin" (and maybe NLP in general) in this ...

There were two comments particularly interested me.

First, the idea of visualising the steps you'll take in achieving a goal rather than just 'the outcome'.

Now, I must say, when I'm doing coaching work, it has always made sense to me to future pace 'the doing' as well as 'the being'. And it ties up with the idea of thinking of 'directions' instead of 'outcomes'.

Nevertheless, is it really 'a disaster' to pre-visualise you being the perfect you, as Wiseman states?

Second, the idea of rewarding effort instead of (or perhaps, as well as) results as this creates resilience (tenacity).

Any comments?

Anyone read the whole book?

Cheers

After watching this video of Robert Anton Wilson, the question came to mind.

Is NLP a rebirth or rediscovery of Hermeticism?

Does anyone here actively use or have they in the past actively used, speed seduction?

I say actively because nearly everyone has heard of it but most just like to spout their uninformed opinions on it.

I am currently studying it and want to incorporate more of it into my interaction with women so would like a tete a tete with people who have used it (preferably successfully).

Hi

I'm Judy Bartkowiak, an NLP Master Practitioner. I trained with Sue Knight on both the Business Practitioner and Master Practitioner courses.

I am currently writing a book on NLP and kids so I'd be really interested in your experiences using NLP with kids and teens. I will of course give you credit in the book for any examples I use.

Thanks

Judy

Do we have a life purpose ? Something we were born to do ?

A hypnotherapist I know why I have a great deal of respect for said just this to me.

I note that there appear to be some NLP coaches who suggest the same.

Is there something in this or a load of ......

What's the general view ?

I recounted something I'd done to a friend who does NLP, and she said 'Ah, you're a polarity responder'.

Never mind what the content and context of the incident was, my take is that I made a considered choice which happened to be to go into a different direction than someone had proposed. Is that itself still a polarity response, or would it have to be more automatic to be included in that category?

(I note with amusement that what I'm telling myself here is 'I'm not a polarity responder'...) :D

At least, according to this article it is.

hello folks
I want to ask you a question i read several book on "nlp": ' a brain for change ' , ' an insider guide to submodality ' , ' the unlimited power ' , ' transe- formations '( the begining ) but the VAK system seem's to dont work on me, i cant remember good and when i try hard i get somthing blury but even when i change it nothing happens :( i'm verry motived and want to learn to use nlp tell me if a PRACTITIONNER TRAINING will help me to hop this wall that stay between me and the word of nlp
for information de nlp practitionner cost me 500 $ per month(for 5 months) so it's kind of sacrifice i want to know if it's a worthwhile or not

thank you for your help

;)
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.
:love:
Any NLP-suggestions or "Donors-in-NLP(To help me Fund Master-NLP Course)" are heartily welcome.
:applause:

Recently I have been working with a large amount of teenagers (in a careers advisor setting) who have low self esteem. When chatting with this group of young people, it quickly becomes obvious that from a young age many of these teenagers have always been told they won’t succeed, this is from family and authority figures.
As they come to see careers advisors, the young people are often asked about their time at school and they usually reply with “I didn’t like school” Often careers advisors will ask “what didn’t you like about school” which can put (or keep) the young person in a negative state, keeping them unmotivated.
We worked with a group of career advisors, asking them to stay away from asking any negative questions and getting them to re-word any negative questions to a positive question; “What did you enjoy about school?” “What was the best part of going to school?” Just by asking positive questions throughout the careers advice session made a big difference in the client’s motivation.
A large amount of the young people we worked with often gave themselves negative self talk “I will never get a job” “no-one will employ me” “I’m rubbish” which made them feel low and often stopped the young person job searching. When asked, this was normally their own voice on the right hand side of their head (external) often at their normal tempo.
We would first ask the young person to lower the volume, make it fuzzy, turn it into a whisper and ask the young person how they felt “better” they would often reply. We also asked the young person to add Fun music and turn this up loud, drowning out the negative voice, again this would make them feel more positive.
Next, we would ask them “if the voice was an object or shape what would then voice look like?” Often this is a circle or triangle shape, we ask them to describe the colour, sound and texture. We then ask the young person to move the object down their body and ask them how they felt. The further down the body they moved the object the better they felt. Until we move the object onto the floor, where they felt no negative feelings at all.
We then get the young person to control the shape/negative voice themselves, empowering them to be in control. As they move the shape up and down their body, turning the volume up and down they become aware of their own states and how to control it for themselves.
This technique has helped lots of young people control their own states and in turn helped them move forward with their motivation to job search.
