NLP FREES YOU

Hypnosis is a process that increases communication between your mind and body.  In hypnosis your mind goes into a trance, a daydream-like state.  

You become more focused and open to suggestion.  There is no truth to the popular myth that hypnosis causes you to lose control.  

On the contrary, the opposite is true. Hypnosis can help you gain control over a specific condition.  You can do hypnosis by yourself or with the help of books, video/DVDs, audiotapes or a trained therapist.  

But hypnosis cannot be done without your cooperation. Thus, all hypnosis is self-hypnosis.

Hypnosis or trance work, with its long and varied history in medicine and entertainment, is receiving renewed recognition from neuroscientists and other professionals.  Recent brain studies of people who are susceptible to suggestion indicate that when they act on suggestions, their brains show profound changes in how they process information.  

The suggestions, researchers report, literally change what people see, hear, feel and believe to be true.Hypnosis has been used in medicine since the 1800s to treat pain and, more recently, as a treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, irritable bowel syndrome and eating disorders and many others. 

The brain is essentially our central management system.  Our health, mood, thoughts, creativity, balance, performance level, power, all other organs are ‘controlled’ by this complex organ. 

It is a tool that we start training the second we are born. In fact, your brain uses each instant of life stored in memory, to define all our behavioural responses such as movements, reactions, skills, fears, moods, self-confidence and so on. 

Each registered event is interpreted and flagged with a series of codes such as ‘not dangerous’ or ‘dangerous’, ‘I like it’ or ‘I hate it’, ’I can’ or ‘I can’t’ and so on. Each of those flags, if not overridden by another event, is stored lifelong in our memory, constantly influencing and affecting our decisions and thus our existence and our belief in past, present and future events, as well as our belief in ourselves. 

Our Four Brain Areas Involved In Trance Work Research suggests that we have 4 distinct areas of the brain, each has a different yet related function.  

Our brains have evolved over the past 500 million years and have developed from “bottom” to “top” and from “back” to “front”.

A California psychiatrist and psychologist named Dr. Milton Erickson discovered a technique Electroencephalography. It was a powerful, safe, and effective way to help his patient’s access their unconscious mind, past memories. Electroencephalography is the neurophysiologic measurement of the electrical activity of the brain by recording from electrodes placed on the scalp or, in special cases, within the subdural or the cerebral cortex.  

The brain operates in four general states determined by the frequency of the electricity generated by the exchange of chemicals in the neural pathways.  The four states include Full Conscious Awareness or Beta, the Hypnotic State or Alpha, the Dream State or Theta, and the Sleep State or Delta. 

These four states correspond to electrical activity in the brain and are defined by frequency ranges on an EEG.

Much of the corrective work all Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) involves the technique of self-hypnosis, ie making changes on yourself while in a trance.

The word ‘hypnosis’ was rather erroneously coined by James Braid in 1842, renaming Frantz Anton Mesmer’s technique, hypnotism, which comes from the Greek for ‘’sleep’’.

A hypnotized patient doesn’t actually go to sleep, but is in a state of trance, which can be from light to deep.

Trance is actually a heightened state of awareness when the the patient is more suggestible and, therefore, more open to change work on a mental level.

Hypnosis is already a natural part of your life.

NLP is concerned with learning from what we observe and basing our actions and behaviours on these observations.

Within the concept of NLP, learning is regarded as an exciting activity.

 Learning

• Stimulates your mind

• Gives you options

• Increases your choices

• Improves your quality of life

• Keeps your mind youthful

• Expands your mind

NLP emphasises inductive learning that is, learning from your own experiences through your own unique, individual way.

They are about 20 Hypnotic Language Patterns.

In this article, I’d like to address three of the most common ones.

1. Cause and Effect

2. The use of words such as ‘should’, ‘must’ and ‘have to’

3. The use of a lot of negativity in your Internal Representation

Cause and Effect

This implies blame, that is, someone ‘made’ you do something or made you feel something.

Language moves your mind.

You can listen for language and use language to

• Gain awareness of your model of the world

• Gain a subjective awareness of another person’s model of the world

• Define your model of the world

• Subjectively define another person’s model of their world

• Move around in your model of the world

• Guide your Internal Representations (IRs) for optimum outcomes

• Guide another person’s IRs to assist them to gain optimum outcomes

• Effect change at the conscious level

• Effect change at the subconscious level

There is a concept in NLP known as Hypnotic Language Patterns.

When I communicate with someone, I have no desire to hypnotize them.

I want to engage in an empathetic, caring activity with the words I use, and I would expect that back from the other person.

Personally, I am not in favour of the term however, I realize that the term Hypnotic Language Patterns is merely used to identify this rather complex language process with its many subdivisions.

The words you use affect the way you think, the way you feel, and ultimately the outcome of whatever it was you were dealing with.

Of equal importance is the effect the words had on the other person.

You can get to know a lot about yourself and about the other person by the language that you both predominantly use.

Your choice of language, which includes your choice of words , is your most important tool in building rapport through your communication.

In actual fact, the words you use, construct the life you lead.

The language you use will either free you or jail you.

Your content is much less important to your personal success in external communication than your facial expressions, body posture and the sound of your voice.

However, the content being made up of words, will determine what sort of internal dialogue you engage in and will determine how you see the external world.

You will also need to moderate your external dialogue to accommodate the other person’s  preferred style of communicating if you want to achieve your desired results.

Matching and mirroring what someone is doing or the style of language a person uses is a very powerful but subtle way to build rapport.

Remember, that when NLP is used with integrity, any of the techniques or skills is based on a positive final outcome.

There is no manipulation, nor is there ever a self-interest motive.

When discussing matching and mirroring the person with whom you are communicating, you are aiming at creating a deep, unconscious rapport with that person for a win-win situation unencumbert by self-interest.
