Is it essential to get your point across to a variety of people?

Would your results improve if you could trigger motivation?

Hypnosis is a peaceful, pleasant state of total relaxation and heightened awareness. It is the process of allowing yourself access to the abilities of the unconscious mind. The unconscious is the most dominant part of your mind. It is nature's complex computer that stores every feeling, event and idea you have ever heard, seen or felt in your entire life.

The unconscious acts the way it has been programmed to act, just like a computer does. Unfortunately much of this programming occurred before we were old enough to choose between ideas that were helpful, and those that were not. Hypnosis is the key to the mind. As you enter the hypnotic state your senses become more acute, your concentration becomes more focused on the positive changes that you want, and your unconscious mind becomes more open to suggestions.

Hypnotherapy can make positive changes in the physical response and mental and emotional attitude, and change ingrained habits. Hypnotherapy is not dangerous. You yourself naturally engage your unconscious mind every day. Hypnosis does not cause you to lose control; you cannot be made to say or do anything against your will or better judgement. Hypnosis is not a unconscious sleep state. You will be able to speak to answer questions and to recall events that you may have forgotten by your conscious mind. You will remember everything you see or think whilst in Hypnosis.

(NLP) Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Life Coaching NLP based are based on the principle that all behaviour has structure, and this structure can be identified learned and adapted to create positive outcomes. This is a methodology for modelling excellence and is a highly effective way of creating change and achieving goals. NLP explores the relationships between the way we think (Neuro), the way we communicate (Linguistic) and our patterns of behaviour (Programming). It was created by John Grinder and Richard Bandler in the early 1970's, and these NLP processes have been continually refined and updated ever since.

 NLP is first and foremost is about taking action. It is the structure of subjective experience and a model of communication. NLP allows you to unlock and use your mind's potential, allowing you to change your mind and keep this change. Andrew Nelson has trained with Richard Bandler and Paul Mckenna and is certificated to practice NLP.

Master your emotions, change your mind - and keep the change. In a variety of situations you can gain confidence and motivation, banishing unwanted behaviours and waving goodbye to fears and phobias. Learn how the greats communicate. Find your true potential. Have better relationships

Hi Andrew



Here's an interesting new article that I think

you will enjoy and find useful. Included is a

very cool NLP technique, so read on!



All the best, Colin





"The Half-Second Rule"

by Colin G Smith

http://www.NLPToolBox.com/special_reports/hsr.htm



The mind learns fast. A very powerful way to view life is to

experience everything as a learning experience. I think it

was Dr. Richard Bandler (co-creator of NLP) who first made

me realise that Phobias are in fact a learned response. The

mind of the Phobic has learned to associate a stimulus (eg a

Wasp) to a response (eg Panic!)



The more you ponder this idea the more profound you will

realise the implications.



And here's the deal. Does a person develop a phobia of wasps

over time? You know, do they see a wasp one day and then the

next week they see another and decide they don't like them

and get more and more afraid of them?



No. Phobias are 'learned' very, very fast. Out of

consciousness, in less than half a second!



They have an intense emotional response which becomes

associated/anchored to the stimulus in such a way that that

state is AUTOMATICALLY triggered whenever they

see/hear/feel/smell/taste the stimulus again!



This is incredible! The persons mind will from then on

automatically go into a very altered state, within half a

second of experiencing the stimulus.



Now I think you'd agree, phobias aren't exactly useful,

right?



But, what if you could use that same Stimulus/Response

mechanism to create automatic states of Joy, Ecstasy, Fun

and Bliss.



Would that be useful to you in any area of you life? ;)





Now for sure they are many other ways of creating effective

change. Some methods use different concepts and are slower

to implement. With this article I wanted to introduce you

to the half-second rule concepts because they are less well

known than other "change-technologies" and they lend

themselves well to generating more fun because they are

playful by design.



The following technique is a really fascinating NLP tool

because it makes great use of your unconscious resources.

I only discovered it recently and was surprised to learn

that many 'NLP veterans' didn't know about it either!



Merging Metaphors

(Adapted from a technique called 'Spinning Icons' developed

by Joe Munshaw and Nelson Zink.)



1. Select a problem state.



2. As you think about your problem state what visual image

comes to mind? Notice where it is located in space.



3. Break your current state: eg) Remember you phone number

backwards or look up and notice the patterns on the ceiling.

Now think about the desired resource state (or outcome, or

goal) you would like instead. Notice how you represent this

as a visual image. Pay attention to where it is located in

space.



4. Now allow your mind to turn the first picture (problem

state) into a metaphorical symbol or icon. Keep it in the

same location in space. (This visual metaphor could be quite

complex or it may be as simple as a colour. Just trust your

unconscious.)



TOP TIP: It can be useful to ask yourself, "What is this

problem state like?" This often allows a metaphorical

representation to arise.



5. Do the same thing with the desired resource state you

selected in step 3, making sure to place the new metaphor

symbol in the same location in space as the original image.



6. Now see the two metaphor symbols at the same time

noticing their locations in space. Next slowly rotate them

around each other. Keep rotating them around each other and

do so faster and faster. Do this spinning for about 10

seconds allowing the rotation to be so fast that you can no

longer track the images and you may even feel a little

confused.



7. Now allow the images to merge together, that's right. And

push this merged image out in front of you where you can

view it easily. Describe the new image briefly, quickly

moving to step 8.



8. Immediately begin telling WHATEVER story comes to mind.

Just allow yourself to start telling a story. It doesn't

matter what it is. It could be a real memory, a story or

just simply made up ramblings. The point being is that this

process taps into your vast unconscious resources.



9. Now ask yourself, "How is this story relevant to my

problem/challenge?" or "How can this story help resolve my

problem?" (This step can help to give you conscious insight

into how the previous steps have made some useful changes.)





Isn't that a great technique! You know it's got that

magical spirit of curious wonder to it hasn't it?



So I wonder how else could you use a tool like that to

add more magical sparkles to your life?

"The Ultimate Truth in Persuasion"

Copyright: Colin G Smith

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

OK, so you want to improve your persuasion power right?

Why? What's your intention?

As you know your intent directs the flow of energy in your
interactions with others. So doesn't it just make sense to
have in mind a really clear and strong intent before you
engage in your powerful persuasion mission.

If you were to think about the person(s) you want to
persuade what comes to mind in regards to the benefits they
will gain from your persuasion?

Of course your 'persuasive pitch' will be received much more
receptively if your intent is strongly biased to their
benefits.

So stepping into their shoes what benefits can you perceive
from their angle and looking at the situation as if you were
watching a movie what other ideas come to mind?

Having some idea of what the other person(s) want and
keeping that positive intention nice and strong in mind when
interacting with the person(s) will automatically create a
'good vibe' between you, thus creating that well known
fundamental persuasion skill - Rapport!

Now in your interaction with the other party you would
increase your persuasion parlance greatly by asking well
focused questions. Basically you want to ask questions that
get the other person to open up so that you can discover one
of the very powerful motivators-to-action in humans known as
'values.'

This is another aspect of the very fascinating way in which
the human mind works because you find yourself becoming
increasingly curious about people's values as your
persuasion power increases, doesn't it.

Now an important point to remember in this curious adventure
is when you have got them talking: You Shut Up! AND Listen!

Isn't that cool, you just sit there and listen as they give
you loads of high quality information that you can then use
to powerfully persuade and guide them!

By paying attention you will notice that people use certain
words which have a lot of emotional value for them
personally. You could call these words their personal trance
words.

Let me give you an example to clarify what we are talking
about. Let's say you are helping someone make a change in
their life. Now presuming the person has asked you to help
them you can make the change process happen even more
smoothly by asking them certain questions

So during conversation with this person you could ask them,
"Why exactly do you want to make this change?" And, "What
would having made this change, give you?" And also you could
ask, "Why is that important to you?"

As you ask these questions you will notice that they have to
access deeper parts of their minds. So by paying attention
and listening carefully you will discover some of their
personal trance words.

Some possible examples of their personal trance words might
be: inner peace, better energy, assertiveness. Keep in mind
the important fact that these words could have a deep and
powerful feeling associated with them in their internal
experience.

Now what do you suppose would happen if you were to then
describe and incorporate those wonderful personal trance
words into your persuasive change 'pitch'?

That's right, they would be much more likely to go along
with your persuasive intervention because you are using
words which stimulate powerful feelings inside them for the
changes that they really want!

So just what is 'the ultimate truth in persuasion'? Well the
fact is in the art of persuasion, or indeed anything, there
are many ways of doing things, many perspectives,
techniques, methods and tools. The point being, by using it
and paying attention to feedback, will it get you the
results you want?
