News from Healing NLP Institute

Congratulations to Joe Allen, Nuno Antunes, Susie Arbon, Suzannah Czajlik, Giulia Goracci, Lindsey Horton, Siobhan Kierans, Mary O'Donnell and Miguel Toribio-Mateus on completing the NLP Practitioner Training.
The next Practitioner Training is in April 2010 with bookings already so if you think this might be the way for you visit our web site. The recent course filled up quickly as people realise NLP is not just about business, sales and manipulation but began as a healing therapy as can work for yourself and help others. Counts towards CPD and boosting brain-power, great for diagnosis - what are they really saying?!

Shall we trance?

I'm always curious about what and why people choose to learn. Sometimes its obvious - a desire to help others, or better control of your life, to find grounding and balance, managing energy, losing unwanted fears, phobias, toxic emotions, reactions to stress. One thing struck me: we all love to learn! For me, teaching is learning, sharing knowledge and experiences, helping make a difference.
Learning something new is like travelling to places you've never been, seeing new sights, hearing new sounds, smelling new smells, tasting new tastes. Its the journey, its the destination, its the guidebook. And its the challenge, too, isn't it? The excitement of being a student again, not quite knowing what's going to happen, but knowing it will be something new, that opens new doors or closes the old on a past behind us, where it belongs. Our future takes just a step to begin!
Shall we trance?
Preparing for the next practitioner training I once again find myself intensely interested in how our brain works. How we can make sudden, lasting change in the way we think really captured my attention when I first trained in NLP with Paul McKenna, and has kept me fascinated since. I realised I don't have to be a word-famous magician or hypnotist to show others how they can control habits or cope with unnecessary fear and phobias. The process does it, small steps to giant leaps, simple techniques that master emotions, gain confidence, change unwanted behaviours, power up motivation. What my NLP students have said about how the process has helped them makes me feel a sense of gratitude to Paul, for showing how to help others become the best they can be.

Originally teaching NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) for complementary healthcare practitioners, student feedback over the years made me realise many more benefits from improvement in powers of observation public speaking, group facilitation. interview situations (whichever side of the desk) especially nowadays with so much re-thinking of career and job-satisfaction.
For many students English was their second language and you hear their command improve with precision and elegance. All of us reap the benefits of how to make yourself understood (very good for avoiding misunderstanding), or understand why people don't always understand!

How interesting to learn something new in a strictly come trancing way - its all the same, really, trance, hypnotism, meditation, relaxation - the special words and phrases that work to help others and yourself make a difference. I'm running an 8-day intensive NLP Practitioner Training in the Summer break,24th to 31st August, Monday to Monday, 9am to 6pm. Its intensive, its effective. Click to learn more and see the video. Works too for CPD.

Healing NLP London Free Talk and Demonstration

I demonstrated Visual Squash, at the first NLP free Talk and Demo, with a commentary on what I was doing. It was interesting because the subject was not at all bothered by my turning away to talk to the audience between-times.
Her major problem was "Everything", including panic at work, depression, moodiness, smoking, over-eating, inability to complete a training course, lack of money and relationship problems.
This was a perfect opportunity to demonstrate how to elicit 'Desired' and 'Problem' states from a mass of information and went down well with the good crowd who had turned up. We chunked down to a desire to manage her stress in the workplace when having to learn complex new processes in a very short time.
The technique was effective and I'm looking forward to hearing her report when she goes back to work. Meanwhile, here's her next-day feedback (short version!):
"Amazing healing NLP and it was so calming. I feel I can do anything from now on, deal with any situation well, express and allow love for me and for other people. Kris demonstrated the wonderful techniques of helping people find their strong and loving selves,while at the same time helping me be at peace and love the journey I am on."

I'm running a Practitioner Training 24th to 31st August at Healing NLP @ Zen School of Shiatsu, 1st Floor 68 Great Eastern Street, London EC2A 3JT. Learn all about it with a click here.

"Under the Waterfall"
People have told me this has been helpful to cool down and calm their energy on very hot days, in close conditions, or when feeling over-excited, dizzy or nauseous:
Imagine yourself sitting under a waterfall, your feet on cool wet grass
Close your eyes and lift your face to the water, imagine feeling it splash cool on your face
Spread your hands to the water, let it splash cool on your hands
Sit upright and let the water flow down, all over the crown of your head and cooling down, over all your skin, down to your feet on the cool wet grass,
and then
Imagine feeling the water pour down, into the crown of your head and cooling down, all under your skin, down to your feet on the cool wet grass,
and then
Let the water cascade down, through the crown of your head and cooling down, gushing down through the centre of your being, down to your feet on the cool wet grass,
and then
repeat three times
