Hypnosis has been around for a very long time. It has been used throughout the centuries for a myriad of things. It can cure phobias, change behaviours, eliminate negative feelings and install new beliefs. Hypnosis is a truly powerful toll for change. However, when it is combined with NLP it becomes a mind tool of unlimited possibilities!

NLP is an abbreviation of Neuro-linguistic Programming. NLP was co-founded by Richard Bandler and linguist John Grinder in the 1970s. The two men based their system on the extremely successful psychotherapists Virginia Satir, Milton H. Erickson and Fritz Perls. It was the intention of Bandler and Grinder to develop a system that modeled these psychotherapists in order to create a psychological tool that would lead to immediate and dramatic change in human behavior by giving a person more choice in their reactions to events, situations and people. The two men were very successful in their attempts.

NLP was designed to lead to an increase in choice and flexibility when confronted with situations that in the past caused only one reaction. Due to your past conditioning you are programed to react in automatic ways. Phobias are a great example of this. If you think of someone who has a fear of spiders and imagine their reaction if they were to find one crawling up their body towards their face you will get the idea!

NLP is a complex model that would be impossible to fully explain in this article. However, for the purposes of creating self-change there are some areas which are easily explained and are very relevant. When these techniques are combined with the power of hypnosis there is no change that you cannot create in your life.

NLP offers a great many different tools for conditioning behaviours, thoughts, actions and reactions.

Neuro-linguistic Programming wwas designed to give you more freedom of choice. It encorporates the use of lanugage, body gestures and voice to tone to create lasting real change in your behaviours and reactions. Through reframing NLP can be used to challenge irrational or faulty beliefs. Through the use of anchoring you can literally anchor the beliefs, actions or feelings you chose to certain behaviors, thoughts or situations. This type of anchoring can be used for anything. For example through a simple anchoring exercise like the one below you can create massive change in your life by altering how you think, feel and react in situations.

Recall a memory that was very pleasant. The best memory you have that makes you feel great. Now recall the memory as best you can until you evoke all those special feelings you felt at the time. When you have this picture in your head and are feeling really great press the first finger and thumb of your right hand together. Perform this exercise three times a day and within a few days you will be able to press your finger and thumb together and immediately feel the rush of positive emotions. You can now have those positive feelings anytime you want regardless of what is going on in your immediate environment. You can create a permanent anchor by performing this exercise for three weeks. This will create a lasting permanent anchor. However, if for some reason in the future you no longer which to have the anchor all you have to do is acnhor in some other behaviour to the gesture instead.
