~ Back to Alternative Therapies Index Page ~  NLP is the practice of understanding how people organize their thinking, feeling, language and behaviour to produce the results they do. NLP provides people with a methodology to model outstanding performance. A key element of NLP is that we form our unique internal mental maps of the world as a product of the way we filter and perceive information absorbed through our five senses from the world around us. NLP is how to use the language of the mind to consistently achieve our specific and desired outcomes. NLP is a profound set of tools for personal development. Neuro: Each individual has established their own unique mental filtering system for processing the millions of bits of data being absorbed through the senses. Our first mental map of the world is constituted of internal images, sounds, tactile awareness, internal sensations, tastes and smells that form as result of the neurological filtering process. The first mental map is called ‘First Access’ in NLP. Linguistic: We then assign personal meaning to the information being received from the world outside. We form our second mental map by assigning language to the internal images, sounds and feelings, tastes and smells, thus forming everyday conscious awareness. The second mental map is called the Linguistic Map (sometimes known as Linguistic Representation) Programming: The behavioral response that occurs as a result of neurological filtering processes and the subsequent linguistic map.1 
All of the techniques work to some extent if you follow them carefully - you may need to improvise a little at times. For example a lot of NLP techniques appear to rely heavily on having a great ability to visualise - even though many people do not visualise very clearly. Here you simply pretend that you are visualising - and the techniques will work just as well! What are some of the benefits of NLP?
