NLP

Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is a common sense system of everyday psychology that has enhanced millions of lives.  By showing you how to monitor and adapt your thinking, NLP can help you break free of negative thoughts and cultivate more useful inner beliefs about your self and your world. 

Why the name?  The Neuro part of NLP refers to the neurological processes of seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting and smelling - the senses that we use for inner thought processes as well as for experiencing the outside world. All our understanding and what we describe as consciousness, comes through these neural windows to our brain.  Linguistic recognises the part that language plays both in our communication with others, and also in how we organise our thoughts.  NLP helps us to use everyday language for better thinking and more successful behaviour.  Programming refers to the way we can program our own thoughts and behaviour, much as a computer is programmed to do specific things.

In summery, NLP deals with the way we filter, through our five senses, our experiences of the outside world and how we use those same inner senses, both intentionally and unintentionally, to achieve the results we desire.  It is all about how we perceive or think. It is our thinking - perception, imagination, patterns of belief that determines what we do and what we achieve.
