What is NLP

According to Dr. Richard Bandler, the Creator of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) :

"NLP is an ATTITUDE ............ the sense of curiosity and adventure & a desire to learn; to find out what kind of communication influences people...... "

"NLP is a METHODOLOGY............to explore and understand the structure of people's behaviour so that it can be modeled, learned, taught and changed (re-programmed)...... "

"NLP has evolved as an INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY............ enabling the practitioner to organize information and perception in ways that allow them to achieve results that were once inconceivable...... "

No matter what we are trying to learn or do, there is one thing in common : reliance on a particular piece of equipment – your BRAIN. The study of the Mind has always been a fascinating venture. It is often said that we were born with the most amazing computer in the Universe – the Human Brain. The only problem is, nobody gave us an instruction manual on how to work it. Now with NLP, Neuro Linguistic Programming, we have our first handbook for realizing the potential of our mind.

l   Neuro :refers to our neurology. We perceive the world through our 5 senses :  Visual(pictures), Auditory(sounds), Kinesthetic(feelings), Olfactory(smells), Gustatory(tastes) as well as our subconscious mind.

l   Linguistic : refers to our verbal and non-verbal communication with others and ourselves.

l   Programming :refers to our habitual behaviours, strategies and thinking patterns. Through a series of NLP skills, we can upgrade our mind's programmes; just like upgrading the computer's software.
