Hi Folks,
I just did a day, yes a mere day (a taster) of NLP. BTW, I've bought and not really read a couple of books in the past, and everyone present said strongly that they only really picked it up and got into it correctly by personal contact, working in groups and pairs, and able to ask questions. Though I suppose once you've done a bit of that you can return to books.
It was interesting, and without spending ages doing a complete search, was wondering how much of a presence NLP has on HP? Are there any key threads from whenever that anyone would suggest?
IN just now looking for NLP on HP, I was BTW very surprised to find it under "therapies"! IN the broadest sense imaginable I suppose it's a 'therapy', but largely wouldn't it be self-development - not so much correcting something that's wrong, but just as much taking a group or individual who's 'OK' and making them/him/her work even much better?

HI Venetian
Great questions - one of the things I really like about NLP is the breadth os use it has - as you mentioned it can be used in a therpeutic context - where the practitoner would use their NLP skills to discover the root of the problems for example, it can also be used in more of a coaching context which could be fixing and rmoving blockages and also assisting people to move to the next level - so increasing success already present....and it can be used in presenting, meetings and so much more
In my understanding NLP is like a manual for the brain - I feel we are given these really amazing things called a brain but not necessarily taught how to use it and how to use it to get the best out of ourselves - so yes it is for personal development and also for use with others in many contexts - in every context I woudl say
Hope this makes sense 😉
RE: NLP on HP
An off-shoot question of no practical interest: I have a psych degree and once could map the brain. Two of us present just didn't have time to ask, but were wondering, if the eye movements of NLP would correspond, or are known to, with areas of the brain (auditory, visual, etc). Well, I guess I can work that out for myself.

RE: NLP on HP
Hello V. You asked for threads on NLP. One member came to mind, who used to post quite a lot, but has not done so for about a year. Pity, that, I used to enjoy his posts.
If you take a look via this link, you'll find posts by Jonathan across the board. I believe the length of the red lines under the titles indicate the relevance, so probably the first few are the ones to go for.
[link= http://www.healthypages.net/forum/searchpro.asp?phrase=NLP&author=Jonathan&forumid=ALL&topicreply=both&message=both&timeframe=%3E&timefilter=0&language=single&top=300&criteria=AND&minRank=0&sortMethod=r&submitbutton=+OK ]http://www.healthypages.net/forum/searchpro.asp?phrase=NLP&author=Jonathan&forumid=ALL&topicreply=both&message=both&timeframe=%3E&timefilter=0&language=single&top=300&criteria=AND&minRank=0&sortMethod=r&submitbutton=+OK[/link]+
You'll also find some NLP in the Life Coaching forum, if you search there without specifying an author. However, in many threads the discussion was more on the lines of comparisons between NLP and Life Coaching, so possibly less likely to be what you want.
On a lighter note, when I first taught drumming, I was once driven nearly dotty by astudent who simply WOULD NOT look at my hands and copy me, but chose instead to stare out of the window. I then realised her way of learning the rhythm was totally auditory and yes, she did "get it" ... her way! 😀

PS: Sorry, the link has bent the thread out of shape! I don't know a way of making it shorter. [&o]
RE: NLP on HP
Thanks, Laura, the linkmaster,;)
Will certainly look that up.

RE: NLP on HP
Hi venetain - yes the eye accesing patterns link into the brain - so when we look up we are accesing the visual cortex of the brain 😉
RE: NLP on HP
Hi V,
I use some NLP techniques whilst treating people using EFT. It's very good for watching the client whilst they describe their issues.
Yes the eye accessing cues do relate to the areas of the brain for most people (there's an area of Spain where it doesn't seem the same as other people, don't know why that is?)
I also have a friend who uses NLP as a standalone therapy.
Love and Reiki Hugs
RE: NLP on HP
I heard that about spain - I wonder why that is 😉
RE: NLP on HP
How about online resources for learning NLP, or even discussing it? (When I say 'learning' I don't mean any expensive paid-for course as my interest is more casual than that right now.) Am simply interested in finding out / learning more. So far I have Laura's links (sounds the neat title for a webpage!) and books. Re books I actually had two on my shelves, unread, and am getting two more. I did get good advice on which, I'd say.

RE: NLP on HP
am happy to be part of a discussion 😉
RE: NLP on HP
Great. But it'll not be today I look up other links re NLP here, and I'll read a bit first too, see what I, in any case, have to discuss. But in particular, there's not much point until I've looked at existing threads! 😉
RE: NLP on HP
Laura the linkmaster ha ha ha LOL 😀
(I'd already typed this prior to logging in, but since it's in response to yours earlier re online learning, I'll post it anyway.)
I thought I'd have a quick look and see what businessballs had to offer on NLP, since I've previously found it an excellent resource. And lo, there's a free training introduction, NLP principles and techniques guide which may suit, or if too basic for you, try having a few words with my good friend Mr Google re online learning.
[link= http://www.businessballs.com/nlpneuro-linguisticprogramming.htm ]http://www.businessballs.com/nlpneuro-linguisticprogramming.htm[/link]
(Since you referred to them in another thread If you click on the "Click here" at the top of the page, you'll get to the acronyms with a warning as to some of the content but his descriptions of some of the origins and uses are truly tear-jerking, of the LOL variety. Seriously time-wasting and I didn't even get to the end of the A's!)
Also perhaps have a look at [link= http://www.saladltd.co.uk/index.html ]http://www.saladltd.co.uk/index.html[/link]
who has a very comprehensive links page to many NLP sites, and others.
A general comment: No offence is intended to any NLP HP'ers, past or present, by my selection of the earlier posts of just one member of HP he just popped into my head for the reasons already given.
Enjoy your reading! 🙂
L the L 😉
RE: NLP on HP
Thanks, Laura. Yep - thanks anyway, but I can see why the "free introduction" is - free. ;)Would anyone dare charge for a 1-page article? 😀
The books I have or will are over 400 pages, so I reckon books'll do. As best that can be done as an outsider. But again, we found yesterday that you can hardly really get into this without interaction with people.

Well, I did say itcould be toobasic for your requirements ... but it might be ideal for someone else who justwants a brief intro. You never know who's looking in! 🙂
Would you care to share your book list?
Laura.
