NLP Swish – Change is easy Do you have any habits you want to change without effort and self-discipline? The NLP swish pattern can change the way you feel and behave naturally and easily. This is a generative pattern, which involves changing identity. We don’t deal with reality directly but through our models of it. We think things cause our responses (he makes me so angry), but actually stimulus and response. This particular NLP swish uses Visual System Processing, which is the easiest method. NLP Swish Video Demonstration The following videos show how easy it can be to change emotional states Notice also the way the trainer gets her to break state at the end of each swish. Demonstration with Changing Feelings NLP Swish Process Identify the trigger for the unwanted response or behavior. Keys to powerful results Identifying the cues that trigger the negative state or behaviorSpeed of the change.Using appropriate driving submodalities. In this video, Steve Andreas explains how the process works

NLP Meta Programs, by John David Hoag Advanced patterns of thinking that control what you perceive -- and how to change them Toward vs. Away-From In this Meta Program, a person's attention is directed either toward what they want or away from what they don't want. When a person is in a state of having a problem, it is common that they will think and express themselves in terms of what they don't want. When it is pointed out to the person that these are all examples of what is not wanted, rather than what is wanted, and the question is then repeated, "What is it that you do want?" The problem here is not that the person hasn't thought about what they want. Over time, a predominant transcontextual use of away from thinking may lead a person to conclude that the positive is impossible (or highly unlikely) -- since the person consistently deletes it from perception. Other problems related to the overuse, or context inappropriate use, of an "Away-From" Meta Program include: The Brighter Side of "Away From" Toward Self Reference vs.

NLP Meta Programs: What Are They? «Learn NLP – NLP Techniques At World Of NLP The theory behind NLP is that our communication is affected by our mental “filters”. These filters are the reason why we delete, distort and generalize things. NLP Meta Programs are one example of mental filters. We tend to have certain personality preferences. However, from the NLP perspective, meta programs go beyond personality. Here are some of the Meta Programs that are commonly known Toward — Away FromIntrovert — ExtrovertLow Chunk — High ChunkLogic — FeelingVisual — Auditory — Kinesthetic — DigitalInternal — ExternalConvincer Filter: Once, Three Times, All the TimeMatch — MismatchOptimist — PessimistForeground — Background So, while these meta programs are not exhaustive (yet), they also contain a high level of structure that can be used for a variety of things such as changing preferred actions. We can discuss the idea of meta programs and their implications in relation to strategies and submodalities. Any questions?

How to Memorize Verbatim Text If you are visiting from StumbleUpon and like this article and tool, please consider giving it a thumbs up. Thanks! Memorizing does not have to be as hard as most people make it. The problem is that most people only know how to memorize by reading the same thing over and over again. In this article we are going to focus on a technique that will let you easily: Memorize a speechMemorize the BibleMemorize linesMemorize Scripture At the end of this article is a Javascript tool that makes it easy to implement this method. Synapses and Neurons and How to Memorize In the simplified model of the brain in this discussion, we’ll be looking at neurons and synapses. When you remember something neurons fire signals down particular synapse pathways to other neurons which in turn fire signals to other neurons. Strong Pathways Synapses appear to exhibit plasticity. For example, consider remembering your home telephone number. Now consider a number that you will have trouble remembering.
