Reframing the world with Neuro Linguistic Programming

Neuro Linguistic Programming is a science that encompasses the three influential components involved in producing human experience. Anyone can be helped through NLP, as it has been studied time and time again that the fundamentals are the same for all humans. Modeling human excellence is the goal of NLP and all the techniques and methods that come from it.

Modeling is creating maps or structures of experience from people who excel at an ability. It isn?t a failure as long as the modeling can be recreated consistently over and over again. The structures of the model can be easily be broken down, taken apart, retweaked and more importantly be duplicated by anyone.

Everyone seeing the world differently and in their own paradigms is, in Neuro Linguistic Programming, termed as a person?s internal maps of the world. Everyone?s maps of the world are different and no two can be exactly the same, these maps can be thought of as software our mind and body follows to create experiences for us. A person?s map is visible in how the person lives his life, or the way that person feels and acts most of the time and in certain situations.

Even though maps may control how we act and live, according to Neuro Linguistic Programming it does not control us as we can change maps to our liking whenever. Wrong maps lead to wrong things, and remedying, manipulating and even replacing these maps with something else is possible with NLP. By making negative maps into positive ones, a person can start to live a healthier life by eating better, or can communicate better to another person.

There are other techniques in Neuro Linguistic Programming that can also be used to achieve similar results. The more common methods are Anchoring, Swish, Reframing, Kinesthetic Dissociation and Metaphor. 3 of the most common NLP techniques are discussed in this article.

According to Neuro Linguistic Programming, it is only natural that as human beings, we make connections between things we feel, see, hear, touch or even smell to our emotions. Forming an association between emotions and one of the senses is not that hard, as all you would need to do is to introduce a stimuli of the senses during the emotional state. NLP further teaches that anchors can be deliberately created and triggered to help people reach a different state of being.

Reframing, according to Neuro Linguistic Programming, is basically altering a person's perception of the world around him or her. Seeing things differently or in a different light can often result in behavioral and attitude changes. Everyone uses this technique and it can be done by simply telling a person to look at things in the completely opposite way.

The last method we will look into, the Swish method from Neuro Linguistic Programming, is a process in which you purposely disrupt a pattern of thought from one that leads to an unwanted behavior to one that leads to a desired behavior. NLP practitioners or psychotherapists often use the swish method in taking away a subject's problematic bad habits such as drug addiction, sex addiction, drinking or smoking problems. Dealing with phobias or fears, anxiety, depression and also improving sports performance, confidence in public speaking can all be handled by the swish method.

Nothing comes close to curing disorders than NLP does. Neuro Linguistic Programming is a discipline that is getting more effective by the day as more people research and improve old techniques. NLP worked in the past, still works now and will continue to work in the future.
