NLP Brainwashing Reframe Example

Tue, 30 Mar 2010 21:33:21 +0100

What's a reframe? Is NLP brainwashing? I got both questions today and I thought, hey we can put those two together into a single article where we can reframe brain washing using NLP and then both questions are answered!

Can You Read? Are You Sure ...?

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 17:32:14 +0000

I had a bit of a diatribe today about the word, "to read".

What does that mean?

To stutter out a string of letter pahonetically and somehow understand that this string of letters is supposed to mean "cat"?

No. I don't know what that is, but that's not reading.

Singing NLP Reframe Plus

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:08:05 +0100

Once in a while, I have a little outburst with my NLP hat on. I do love it when that happens! NLP is SUCH fun, and simple things like the NLP reframe can be taken to SUCH extremes - and then it's even more fun. Now, to business. There is something more scary than public speaking. And that's ... singing in public!

Apart from basic NLP reframing, there are another happy dozen NLP patterns employed in this short sequence. See if you can spot them all - and if not, just lay back and enjoy!

Morphing Into Uncharted Waters

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 02:38:31 +0100

I just had a lovely NLP language/internal representations experience on a German translators forum. The poor guys there were tearing their hair out how to translate this sentence: "As the credit crisis deepens and morphs into uncharted waters, a little perspective is necessary on what it is costing, in both dollars and human terms."

Why Metaphor Is A Really Bad Metaphor For Metaphor

Fri, 14 Aug 2009 14:30:30 +0100

The word "metaphor" derives from "amphora," an old system of carrying goods on ships much like containers are today.

These clay made, vase shaped containers all looked the same, and they were the same size, allowing for standardised handling, transportation and storage - but their contents could be quite literally, anything at all.

NLP People Needed In The Movie Business - Urgent!

Thu, 16 Jul 2009 23:01:21 +0100

I've just written a review for the Harry Potter movie Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince.

My biggest complaint is that the colours are dark and dingy, and there isn't enough LIGHT in this movie - practically as well as metaphorically.

Every NLP practitioner KNOWS from day 1 of their NLP training that ...

NLP Submodalities Sepia Experience

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 01:38:46 +0100

Amazing - I had a personal experience a few days ago of creating an event which I knew at the time would CHANGE a lot of things. As I walked away from this event I noticed that a whole group of past events were changing color as I was walking - the memories were turning to SEPIA!

The Hypno-Sleep Spiral

Thu, 23 Apr 2009 18:35:33 +0100

Now for something really useful, extremely neat and quite delightful in every way - the hypno-sleep spiral.

This is a very, very cool pattern to help someone get to sleep at night by entering into consecutively deeper and deeper trance states, ending up with hypno-sleep that turns into natural sleep by itself; but there's a lot more to this self hypnosis pattern than meets the eyes.

NLP Take On Practice & Drill

Thu, 23 Apr 2009 18:15:56 +0100

When you tell people to "practice NLP" or anything, for that matter (and I tell people this often!), I wonder what internal representations they are making, or what they think I mean by "practice".

What do you think that word means?

Quantum TimeLine - The Guardian Angel

Wed, 22 Apr 2009 19:20:51 +0100

As we are working our way through the various new websites, I came across an article containing a really interesting version of an old favourite NLP TimeLine pattern - The Guardian Angel.

Mad Metaphor & Science - An NLPers Rant

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 10:18:02 +0100

I've been watching a TV program about astrophysics and I am being driven INSANE by their appalling misuse of metaphor.

Here is an example of "mad metaphor in science" - see if you get this ...
