:Seeing Red" - The Rainbow Machine by Andrew T. Austin

30 years ago, Maxine Sitkowski abandoned a career in fashion design to study Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), a controversial type of therapy involving hypnosis. In this episode, Maxine argues that hypnosis is not a magic act but rather a natural part of our everyday experience. And she demonstrates — on me — how easy and familiar a hypnotic experience can be.

This conversation covers the book "Frogs into Princes: Neuro Linguistic Programming" by Richard Bandler and John Grinder, published in 1979. It features reviews praising the book as groundbreaking and transformative for understanding human behavior and communication. The text introduces Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) as a powerful, explicit model for creating rapid and lasting personal change, emphasizing its focus on modeling effective behaviors rather than traditional psychological theories. The authors challenge readers to engage with the material experientially, suggesting that NLP offers practical, content-free communication patterns to achieve specific behavioral outcomes, including curing phobias, overcoming learning disabilities, and eliminating unwanted habits. Ultimately, the excerpts highlight NLP's potential for "generative change," enabling individuals to develop new capabilities and enrich their lives, moving beyond a remedial approach to problems.

Frogs into Princes - Neuro Linguistic Programming

This discussion covers the book "The Structure of Magic, Language and Therapy," by Richard Bandler and John Grinder, critically examines the historical reluctance of behavioral sciences, particularly psychiatry, to embrace rigorous theoretical frameworks, instead relying on various evasive maneuvers. It argues that effective psychotherapy, often perceived as "magic," possesses an underlying structure that can be systematically understood and learned, much like language. Drawing heavily on concepts from transformational grammar, the book introduces a "Meta-model" for therapeutic intervention, focusing on how clients' linguistic "Surface Structures" can be analyzed to reveal underlying "Deep Structures" and how processes like generalization, deletion, and distortion impoverish their models of the world. The text presents specific linguistic techniques and challenges therapists can use to help clients enrich their internal models, thereby expanding their choices and improving their lives, emphasizing that all human behavior, like language, is rule-governed.

The Structure of Magic Volume 1 - Language and Therapy

 This discussion covers the book"The Structure of Magic Volume 2," by Richard Bandler and John Grinder (https://amzn.to/45IvZgL) explores advanced concepts in psychotherapy, building upon its first volume by detailing representational systems—visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and digital (language)—that individuals use to model and communicate their experiences. The authors, Bandler and Grinder, introduce the concept of incongruity in communication, where a person's verbal and non-verbal messages conflict, and propose therapeutic tactics to address these internal conflicts. They examine "fuzzy functions" or "semantic ill-formedness," explaining how distorted connections between sensory input and internal representation can limit an individual's choices and contribute to distress. Finally, the book extends these principles to family therapy, offering a formal notation system for understanding and intervening in family dynamics and highlighting the "pairing principle" as a key factor in how relationships form based on complementary communication patterns.

This discussion examines Robert Dilts book, "Sleight of Mouth II" (https://amzn.to/4npc1hm) and explores various techniques and principles associated with "Sleight of Mouth," a methodology primarily derived from Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), which focuses on influencing beliefs and perceptions through language. The excerpts introduce concepts like chunking (lateral, up, and down), using analogies and counter-examples to reframe situations, and the importance of outcome frames over problem frames. It discusses how individuals construct their "reality strategy" and highlights the impact of beliefs on behavior, drawing upon insights from figures like David Hume and Francis Bacon's "Idols of the Mind." The writing also illustrates the application of these linguistic patterns through historical examples, including the Socratic Method and the communication styles of influential leaders like Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr.

Sleight of Mouth Volume II

 This discussion covers the book, "Changing Belief Systems With NLP" by Robert Dilts, (https://amzn.to/44EM4Tz) explores how Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) can be used to understand and modify limiting beliefs. The text emphasizes that beliefs operate on a different, deeper logical level than behaviors or capabilities, making them difficult to change through simple arguments or conscious effort. Instead, Dilts introduces techniques like reimprinting, which involve identifying the origin of a belief on a time line, addressing the positive intention behind problematic behaviors, and integrating new resources across different perceptual positions and logical levels. The document highlights the importance of recognizing conflicting identities and understanding how sub-modalities—the qualities of sensory experiences—can be manipulated to shift the meaning and impact of a belief, ultimately aiming for greater congruency and personal effectiveness.

The Secrets To A Successful 2016

http://www.liberationinmind.com/instant-relaxation-anchor/ The aim of this hypnotherapy session is to condition the feelings of relaxation and calmness to a specific action. So at some point outside of this session, when you do that same action, it instantly brings back the feelings of relaxation and calmness. 

This is called an anchor in neurolinguistic programming NLP. An anchor is a technique where you condition a sensory stimulus to a positive feeling. In this case we are going to condition touching your right thumb and right index finger together to the feelings of relaxation and calmness. 

It does take practise to condition this. And the more you practise this, the stronger the effect becomes for you.

Many professional sports people, or people who need to be in a peak performance state of mind, use anchors to help them achieve their best performance. 

There are many different forms of anchors. In this session, we are conditioning an anchor specifically for relaxation and calmness.

In addition to anchors, there are other ways of becoming instantly relaxed and calm.  These are available for free on the website - http://www.liberationinmind.com/instant-relaxation-anchor/ 

If you enjoy this session, I would be grateful if you could share it with someone who might also benefit from it. 

Thank you.

Take care,

Paul
