Neuro linguistic programming for dummies

Neuro linguistic programming NLP can be learned by dummies and by anyone for that matter once its origins and principles have been explained. It is wise to begin with a brief history and definition and then to understand the principles that will be learned.

Neuro linguistic programming was originally founded in the 1970's by Richard Bandler and John Grinder who claimed it would be instrumental in "finding ways to help people have better, fuller and richer lives". They coined the title to denote a supposed theoretical connection between neurological processes ('neuro'), language ('linguistic') and behavioral patterns that have been learned through experience ('programming') and that can be organised to achieve specific goals in life. To put this in a simpler way "Neuro" stands for the way our brain processes information, "Linguistic" is obviously language and "Programming" is the way that we subconsciously respond to information that our brain processes.

NLP was originally promoted by Bandler and Grinder as an extraordinarily effective and rapid form of psychological therapy, capable of addressing the full range of problems which psychologists are likely to encounter, such as phobias, depression, habit disorder, psychosomatic illnesses, learning disorders. This concept has been so successful that hypnotherapists still use these techniques to this day with incredible results.

The principle of Neuro linguistic programming is that everyone has been programmed since birth. A good example of this is if someone told you to jump off a cliff the common response is, "no that is dangerous". Your mind is programmed to have this response when the words "jump" and "cliff" are in the same sentence. This triggers an immediate response that your parents taught you as infants which is "no"! This translates into every aspect of your life whether it is regarding dating, work, and habits that you have and want to change. By using Neuro linguistic programming you can change your normal reactions to by creating a new program in your brain that will react differently then the way you normally do.

The best way to learn Neuro linguistic programming is by taking a training course. It is very important that you train yourself in this technique because it is not something that will happen over night, however if you put the time in you will get results. The best course available is Learn Hypnosis from Wendi. Wendi Friesen is a Clinical Hypnotherapist that has been researching Neuro linguistic programming for over 12 years with over 100,000's of world wide clients.

Ericksonian hypnosis

Ericksonian Hypnosis is a very special kind of hypnosis that does not involve hypnotic induction. below is a history of the man himself and a course available to learn his techniques.

Milton H. Erickson, M.D. was one of the most influential post-war hypnotherapists. He wrote several books and journal articles on the subject. During the 1960s, Erickson was responsible for popularizing a new branch of hypnotherapy, which became known as Ericksonian hypnotherapy, eventually characterized by, amongst other things, the absence of a formal hypnotic inductions, and the use of indirect suggestion, "metaphor" (actually they were analogies, rather than "metaphors"), confusion techniques, and double binds. However, the lack of resemblance between Erickson's methods and those of traditional hypnotism led some of his contemporaries, such as André Weitzenhoffer, to seriously question whether he was actually practising "hypnosis" at all, and the status of his approach in relation to traditional hypnotism has remained in question. Erickson had no hesitation in presenting any suggested effect as being "hypnosis", whether or not the subject was in a hypnotic state. In fact, he was not hesitant in passing off behavior that was dubiously hypnotic as being hypnotic.

The course available that will teach you ericksonian hypnosis is the power of conversational hypnosis which has been developed to follow the principles laid down by the late Milton Erickson.

Conversational Hypnosis - Learning conversational hypnosis

In order to understand the concepts of conversational hypnosis we must first understand the concepts of hypnosis. The word "hypnosis" or "hypnotism" are both derived from the term "neuro-hypnotism" which means nervous sleep coined by the Scottish physician and surgeon James Braid. Most people think that hypnosis is a state of unconsciousness but this according to modern day research is not true. It is in fact a wakeful state of focused attention, heightened suggestibility and diminished peripheral awareness. What this means is that in order to hypnotize somebody they must be able to interact with you. Of course interaction simply means that a person can respond to another persons actions or stimuli.

By understanding hypnosis in this way it is much easier to understand how "conversational hypnosis" came about. Igor Ledochowski's methods and techniques are similar to any other hypnotist however he has the experience of hypnotherapy. Now a hypnotist and a hypnotherapist are not the same thing so this is the next layer of the onion that we must peel away in order to understand how "conversational hypnosis" came about.

Hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis for therapeutic situation meaning that it is about influencing people over time to resolve personal issues like weight loss, treatment of skin disease, habit control, sport performance to name a few. It can be broken up into 3 subcategories which are regression hypnotherapy, Ericksonian Hypnotherapy and cognitive-behavioral hypnotherapy. I will not go into regression and cognitive-behavioral hypnotherapy (for more information simply follow the links) because Igor studied Ericksonian hypnotherapy which I will explain now. Ericksonian hypnotherapy was named after Milton Erickson who's techniques lacked hypnotic induction, he used indirect suggestion, analogies (rather than metaphors), confusion techniques and double binds. So you can see that this type of hypnotherapy is about direct persuasion with out the subject being in a "nervous sleep".

As you are beginning to see it is starting to make sense now. The art of "conversational hypnosis" is about being able to persuade a person with whom you are interacting by taking control of the conversation and manipulating the other persons perspective. In this way you can control their thought patterns and reactions by using techniques that are very similar to the Ericksonian hypnotherapy principals.

The goal of this overview was to make the concept of "conversational hypnosis" clearer to understand and in this way easier to learn. I hope that this goal was accomplished and that you now have a better understanding of what "conversational hypnosis" is about.

How to Hypnotize yourself to improve your sport performance

Everyone wants to be able to improve their sports performance and learning how to hypnotize yourself to achieve this is not as crazy as it sounds. The best athletes in the world have a desire to be the best and work tirelessly to achieve this. The smartest athletes in the world train their technique until it is instilled in themselves so that even on a crappy day they can still compete at a high level and allow their self conscious to take over.

So when learning how to hypnotize yourself you must look at what you need to improve about your performance. Is it driving to the finish and not giving up to soon or is it a technique issue where it needs to be improved. If the issue is about your self drive then you need to analyze yourself and remember what thoughts go through your mind when you are giving up. Remember these thoughts because these are the thought patterns that you must change and self hypnosis can help. You must use hypnosis to make your reactions to these thoughts a stimulant to do the opposite of what you normally do. Here is an example of a Rugby player:

It is the 70th minute of the game and you are defending, the opposing player breaks your tackle and is running for the line. Thoughts in your mind are I am so tired, he is so fast, the game is over and I can not catch him. This is where the use of self hypnosis is used to change your reaction to these phrases. You stimulate your mind to think I want to work harder, he is fast but I am faster, the game is never over. Self hypnosis makes these reactions the only option that you give yourself to the information processing in your mind.

The other way to improve your performance is using self hypnosis to make you technique improve. Technique is incredibly difficult to master because your mind has to process so much information at the same time. Self hypnosis helps this because it allows your mind to react to your thoughts and suggestions without argument. I will use an example of learning a back flip.

When you learn the technique of a back flip (feet to feet) you must throw your straight arms to the sky while you jump, after jumping you must drive your arms down and tuck your knees to your chest. Now when learning this technique the most common thought going through someones mind is I do not want to land on my head. Self hypnosis is used to make your mind only focus on arms to the sky, jump and tuck without hesitation. This can allow you to learn a back flip in one session instead of taking a month to overcome fear.

So as you can see learning how to hypnotize yourself can improve your sports performance exponentially. The only way that you can learn this is by taking a course and the best course available is Improve at your Game with sports hypnosis. Have a look at it and take the step to improving your sports performance beyond your wildest dreams.

Improve your game - Self hypnosis for golf.

Using self hypnosis to improve your game of golf is not a ridiculous idea at all, in fact it is the best thing that you can do to improve your game. The question of hypnosis and how to use it for a better game of golf is simply this. Golf is about technique and technique is about making your body follow the correct pattern of movement and the idea of self hypnosis starts to make sense.

Let us look at the golf swing, which is the key to improving your game of golf. There are so many things to remember when you are learning your swing, even professionals have to constantly practice this technique.

- The bend of the knees,
- relaxed grip of the club,
- keep head down,
- swing through hips and shoulders,
- let the swing do the work and dont force it.

Now the way to learn something and more importantly master it is to concentrate on one thing at a time. You have to make sure your mind and body understands how to follow the correct movement pattern of each part of the golf swing. This means that your mind must not be distracted and it has to focus solely on what you must do in your swing opposed to "dont screw this up" or "I have to get this in". Instead the mind should be focusing on head down, relax, feel the swing through the hips, wait for the length of the swing. This is where self hypnosis becomes the ultimate opportunity to improve your golf game beyond your wildest dreams.

Self hypnosis is a way of putting your mind into a state where it can process information given to it without any other thought being dominant. So the way to use self hypnosis for your golf game is to do it the night before you plan on playing. This is a technique used by professional sports people across all sports where you concentrate on your technique before falling asleep. You put yourself in a relaxed state and use phrases that remind you about proper technique, one step at a time. Your mind is processing this information and continues to while you sleep. This means that your mind has been processing this information for a few hours. Once you wake you repeat the process to refresh your mind and then proceed to your event or training. Once you are playing your game your use the same phrases and analogies that you used the night before and refresh this information yet again. The result is that your mind has been reprogrammed to react in a way that goes over the technique in a consecutive order. This means that you will focus wholly on the complete golf swing from start to finish without letting your mind get distracted mid way.

Self hypnosis is not something that you can pick up over night with out a training course. This is obvious and the best training course available is Improve at your Game - Self-Hypnosis for Golf by Clinical Hypnotherapist Wendi Friesen. It is much easier then hypnotizing yourself because it provides self hypnosis cds that allow you achieve your golf game much more efficiently.
