In NLP a state is word describing the sum total of how we feel, our mood and our physiology.

Some states are very simple and have common every day names such as: angry, loving, dissappointed. Other states can be complex combinations of feelings and moods that may have no name but are very familiar to us.

Many people think that their state is something they are stuck with, in reality they are easy to change and choose. States and state management is a fundamental part of NLP.

In the next NLP Café meeting on May 20th we will explore getting in and out of states. In the first part of this practice group we will use a process to tease apart unresourceful states so that they are easier to change. In second part we will work on creating tailor made states for use on any occasion.

Join Andy Hunt and Nigel Hetherington to get in, and out of, a bit of a state at St Oswald’s Hospice Training Centre, Gosforth, Newcastle on Tuesday May 20th between 7pm & 9pm.

People like you or me, have, in our life time, our own personal history, had experiences that for want of a other words have been traumatic, painful or negatively emotionally charged. This is part of the rich tapestry of life and often labelled as Trauma, Grief, Guilt, Shame, PTSD and other kinds of problematic responses to past events.

Usually the intensity of the experience fades in time and we are OK. But other times there are one, two or a few memories that just seem to pop up and surface and whoom all the unwanted emotional energy is there. Its painful, unpleasant and unwanted.

What would it be like if you can learn a simple and brief NLP process to resolve these types of painful emotional imprints? How useful will it be for you to clear up your own undesirable responses to your own personal history events? What sort of benefits can you imagine when this process is in your tool bag?

Steve and Connirae Andreas developed NLP Eye Movement Integration on 1989. Additionally there will be a further addition ‘Lazy-Eights’ which Andrew T Austin demonstrated while we attended his excellent IEMT training.

Come along for two hours of well structured and
applied NLP Practice

7-9pm Tuesday 15th April at St Oswalds Coleman Teaching Centre

There are several emotions that we feel in response to ourselves, self-respect, self-appreciation, self-esteem etc. These feelings and beliefs about ourselves are taken on board during childhood and early life experiences.

In this month’s NLP Cafe we will use two processes to explore and develop positive ’self states’. First using the positive resources of mentors to access these states and develop them in ourselves. Then Guardian Angel process to introduce these states into our past, present and future timelines.

This is a complementary experience to last month’s NLP Cafe workshop using the submodality work of Steve Andreas.

7pm - 9pm Tuesday 18th March at St Oswald’s Hospice Teaching Centre

Introduction to NLP

Perhaps you have seen Paul McKenna demonstrating some NLP on television, maybe you’ve read about NLP in a book or magazine, it could be that someone you know has shown you some. You know NLP seems kind of interesting and it looks like it could be very useful but it’s difficult to make sense of it from what you’ve experienced so far.

You could have heard all sorts of claims for it. That it’s a way of developing advanced communicating skills, influencing people, achieving your goals, managing individuals and groups, avoiding the things that you don’t want and getting much more of what you do and so on. But you are not yet ready to invest in a full NLP Practitioner training to verify these claims for yourself but you would like to know more NLP.

When people are feeling great, on-top of the world, self satisfying, self belief and self-aligned, they might well be described as having high self esteem.

Watch the introduction here on YouTube 

On the other hand, when people are feeling down, unhappy with their lot, under preforming and perhaps even miserable, they can be described as having low self esteem.

We all use this somewhat ubiquitous term of ‘self esteem‘ term but …

• what specifically is self esteem?

• How is self esteem created? and

• How can you get more of it?

On February, using structures from Steve Andreas excellent program of Transforming Yourself, nigel hetherington will demonstrate the structure of self esteem and how you can go about transforming your own and other peoples self esteem to create responsive, durable and above all honest foundations of the person who you want to be.

Once you know the structure, just imagine what you will be able to do once, you will necessarily be able to :

• Recognise and transform blocks into higher self esteem

• Increase both your own and others self esteem

• Transform mistakes into powerful and directive learnings

• Have processes that you can self apply to change now and become who you want to be

Do you take criticism personally?

Do you take in negative comments and brood over them?

Would you like to be able to respond to criticism more resourcefully learn from the experience and let it go?

Fortunately NLP has modelled the thought processes of people who are able to respond resourcefully to criticism. This process is easily learned and once learned it’s automatic.

In January’s NLP Café you can learn how to respond resourcefully to criticism. The meeting is on Wednesday 16th January* between 7pm-9pm. The cost is £10.

*Not January 9th as previously advertised.

Do you want to know more about Neuro Linguistic Programming?

Have you read a few books, watched Paul McKenna on TV and wondered what NLP is all about? If you are used to finding out about things by reading it can be a little difficult to ‘get’ NLP.

Unfortunately learning NLP from a book is like learning to ride a bicycle from a book, reading and riding are two very different things.

Fortunately my friend and colleague Nigel Hetherington and I are running a one day introductions to NLP where you can try out NLP for size without breaking the bank.

The workshop is on Saturday 10th November from 9:30 to 5:30. They take place at St Oswald’s Hospice in Newcastle. It is a snip at just £45 for the day.

How to create a brilliant future - Time Lines for Future Successes

Our next session on 12th December is Time Lines for Future Successes and will centre about how you can heavily influence your future to make it more, much more, of the way you want it to be. This is a recently developed and well tested process for use in the real world!

We will explore how you can realistically set and attain you outcomes over the next 12 months and calibrate these expectations with your unconscious responses.

The process is one you can use with either yourself or clients. This process utilises your unconscious mind so ecology is and ‘realistically achievable’ is built into this process.

The demonstrated process will build on classical Time Lines, my own version of New Code NLP and some very simple yet powerful additions which I was introduced to by Christina Hall on a recent training I took with her.

A basic knowledge of NLP is required for the session.

If you book on-line for this session it’s even better value at just £9.00
