<\/a>NLP stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Its name describes the three components that NLP practitioners suggest are what make humans the only beings that experience consciousness. The theory suggests that being conscious involves:<\/p>\n- \n
- Neurology:<\/b> All humans have a brain which controls the body, and at the physical level, allows your body to function<\/li>\n
- Language<\/b>: This is how all humans interact with the world and other people. Language is what allows you to communicate with others, and dictates how others conceptually create \u00a0their experience of who you are.<\/li>\n
- Programming:<\/b> All humans learn patterns through their experience of the world, which involves a combination of how the physical \u201cneurological\u201d self and the interactive \u201clanguage\u201d self collide and interact with their environment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
NLP suggests that the way you perceive the world involves complex processes of thoughts and language. Together they produce \u201cscripts\u201d that can cement and run our lives unconscious to us, or against what we\u2019d like to do.<\/p>\n
Tools taught by NLP practitioners help you to actively choose what you\u2019d like to do – how you\u2019d like to behave – at any given moment, versus responding automatically.<\/p>\n
Core teachings of NLP:<\/b><\/p>\n
Subjectivity: <\/b>We experience the world through our perceptions of it, not what is \u201creal\u201d. \u00a0Therefore, NLP suggests thinking is realit. So, from this perspective each person\u2019s experience of reality is different. \u00a0The reason is because what you see is subjective. Its made up of personal experience and stimulus, not just stimulus.<\/p>\n
NLP teaches you the various ways most people think. There are three that are presented using the acronym VAK: Visual thinkers, auditory thinkers and kinesthetic thinkers<\/p>\n
Consciousness:<\/b> NLP suggests what humans call consciousness is made up of two components: 1) Consciousness and 2) Unconscious. \u00a0From this point of view, the theory is once again suggesting what you believe to be \u201creal\u201d and \u201ctrue\u201d, is made up of what is actually \u201creal\u201d and what is perceived.<\/p>\n
NLP teaches you how to take control of memories. Your memories are stored and often dictate how you act on an unconscious level. When you learn how to control memory they can be used positively to shape your present actions.<\/p>\n
Learning: <\/b>NLP teaches through an imitative method of learning that they call modeling. You learn modeling by copying a superior\u2019s expertise in a given knowledge base. An important part of learning NLP principles is understanding how to be aware and remove the perceived realities you\u2019re placing on a situation.<\/p>\n
Mirroring, or copying others, can also help you get related to people. It\u2019s a positive communication tool taught by NLP.<\/p>\n

- Language<\/b>: This is how all humans interact with the world and other people. Language is what allows you to communicate with others, and dictates how others conceptually create \u00a0their experience of who you are.<\/li>\n
