NLP - The Default way of Thinking for Effective People

I find NLP to be quite powerful tool and as a matter of fact I'm about to participate to NLP Practitioner training later this year.

So far I have been trying to learn NLP through books, but it has been quite challenging. In that sense I feel that it is perhaps more effective to learn about this by a trainer.

But, NLP has many uses. I can see, that by having a better self-confidence through NLP has many advantages in your everyday life - whether on personal level or running your business.

Different people respond differently to hypnosis. The more in tune the hypnosis technique is to you specifically the better it will work.

Let’s say the induction uses a walk along the beach to try to put you into a hypnotic state but you are afraid of water, odds are good that this induction will not work well with you. If you love the mountains then using a walk in the mountains and moving down into a valley would have much better effect with you.

Since hypnosis is working on a subconscious level a lot depends on how much resistance your subconscious will put in the way. If it’s a deep seated belief than it will take time to convince the subconscious to change its beliefs. If it’s only a lightly held belief then the hypnosis will work much faster.

On the other hand if it’s a strong value, like killing is immoral, then hypnosis will not change that deeply held belief.

I believe the 21 day thing is more a marketing ploy than anything. Most CDs come with a 30 day guarantee so if you try them for 21 days and nothing happens then a person MAY return it. But the sad truth is that most people will never make the 21 days. They will listen to it for about a week and then it will lay forgotten.

I’ve just purchased some software to make my own hypnosis CDs so if you PM me on what type of induction you want I’ll put something together for you when I get the software installed and working.

This is a good question, one that I don't believe there is 1 answer to.

Human mind = ambiguity

However, if you take Richard Bandler's approach (one of the Co Creators of NLP, probably the best hypnotist in the world) change can happen in 20 minutes.

Yes, neuroscientifically the more you reinforce a habit, the more it strengthens what brain science calls "neural pathways," which are thread like connections branching from neuron to neuron in your brain.

Because hypnosis activates the brain very differently, we learn best when we're relaxed, and we also learn best RAPIDLY, there are some very very effective strategies for rapid habit changing!
