Rage at the Machine - or a Lesson from NLP training

Tommy and I had trained together from the first Practitioner Training with Paul McKenna, and on through the Masters' and Trainers' with McKenna, Richard Bandler and John LaValle, learning tricks of stage magic and the different magic of Milton Ericksson. We rediscovered each other years after first meeting on a shiatsu course. I had gone ahead with a shiatsu career while Tommy opted for part-time. Now we were both determined to complete an inspiring but difficult training, a particular challenge for me being the making of a video of my teaching as I had never before even held a camcorder in my hand.

One of the earliest conditions I offered colleagues at Practitioner training was 'Technophobia', the panic attack that set in when presented with any kind of problem with technology, from kettle to computer, lightbulb to lap-top. I would break out in sweat, my heart would hammer, my breath go into shallow bellows-mode and my mood swing from fear to rage. By the time I got to Trainer-training I had learned to take a step back, reassure my inner self that everything would be (probably) be OK (eventually) and the machinery was just being machinery and it really wasn't personal.

Tommy had none of these issues. He worked in IT and told stories of help-desk questions ("the computer says it doesn't recognise the printer even though its right in front of the screen") and had his own video camera.

We went our ways after the Trainer course, I to a winter beach holiday where en-route I bought the latest, state-of-the-art, mini-disc camcorder "that works with everything" enthused the duty-free salesperson. Except mac, I discovered when I got home, proudly noticing as I wrestled (kinesthetically) with wires, helplines (auditory) and knowledge-bases (visual) that instead of stamping on it I kept cool, calm and contemptuous. (Metal cut Wood, in shiatsu terms, and Earth controlled Water.) I even managed a wry smile reading the small print - operating system windows - at home instead of at the airport. My son benefitted: the camera proved valuable in his acting/directing studies.

A trip to Amazon led me to a second-hand Sony, underwritten by a customer's comment that a Belkin cable between it and a mac required no software. I was in business. I set up the tripod - bought with the first camera - and filmed myself teaching NLP to my first group of accommodating students. That video got me my Trainer Licence and since then I've made many more, about NLP, Shiatsu, Tai Chi and Chi Kung. People have even told me they've joined courses through being impressed by my Youtube collection.

I came across Tommy again at another event a year or so later. He was still in his IT job and "hadn't got round to doing the video yet," although still determined to change career to NLP.

There's another lesson in here somewhere, but maybe for another day.

November Newsletter

Air cools as nights draw in and thoughts turn like leaves to warmer times past or future, hopes and memories of good turns done, friendships lost and found, of magic childhood moments getting into warm ironed pyjamas in front of the fire...
A Taoist autumn is to let go the melancholy of season's change, grow courage to face winter, and smell the sunshine on those rare bright days that skymark this time. One such lit up the half-marathon when we gave shiatsu to the Capital runners: it was a real thrill to hear their appreciation on the radio. The week before we were at the Mind Body Soul exhibiting the art of gentle healing, meeting new people and making new friends.
And now, hooray for Amazon publishing three e-books: Taoist Medicine Wheel, Finding Spirit in Zen Shiatsu and Taoist 4Play Shiatsu Secrets for Love, that people can download for really a very small sum to read on (the beach?) their Kindles, iPhones, iPads, Androids, Blackberries ... when I first went to school we wrote on slates; paperbacks had just been invented, credit cards not even a tinkle in a banker's eye, and keys were made for locking. Now we can go anywhere in the world and spend money by tapping numbers on keypads - scary!
Talking of years, our Winter Gathering on 5th December will be a celebration of Kris's 70th and an occasion for remembrance, reconciliation and peace-making. We would love to see you there.

A Lesson from Listening

People do sometimes let themselves get into such a
state they stop believing themselves capable of anything. One client
had decided she was a thoroughly bad person because she had neglected her son, deserted her husband and alienated her whole family
when she was a heroin addict some fifteen years before. When she
told me this she spoke as if in a trance, eyes left in memories brought
into the present
“And now?” I asked.
“Well, I stopped using ten years ago.”
“Do you see your son?”
“Yes, we get along fine nowadays but I worry about him because of
what I did.”
“How is he?”
“Well he’s really healthy actually. And seems happy. And has a job
he likes and a lovely girlfriend. We get on really well.”
“What about your ex?”
“We’ve become friends. He doesn’t hold grudges.”
“Brothers? Sisters?”
“We’ve had our problems in the past but things are better now.”
“So tell me again, why, specifically, do you think you are a thoroughly
bad person?”
It was a habit she had formed, thinking about herself in that way. It
wasn’t rocket science to see it, not even therapy to help her see, just
commonsense, how she had wrapped herself in outdated thoughts.
She would never have worn outdated fashion.

Lessons from a NLPerson

What do you say, or how to lose friends and alienate people


They told me to 'mind my language' when I was a kid. "Why?"
"Because it upsets people, and that's not a nice thing to do."
As a grown-up doing NLP I learned the mysteries of rapport that took politesse oblige to a new level. I learned to say less and listen more, and found this useful in my work. In public speaking, a great tip from Paul McKenna taught me that its good practice to say nothing anyone can disagree with.
This advice sprang to mind some months ago when, at a seminar to recruit people for a self-development workshop, the speaker, an affable-seeming man, began to employ the device of mockery, gently mocking followers of a certain tradition for being robotic, mocking a man without a partner for being single with the words, we are mammals, and mammals have partners. (He didn't distinguish between dog-mammals who shag anyone including their parents, siblings and offspring, and polar bears who live in solitude except for the mating act.)
Now I thought to myself at the time, how does this speaker know how many robotic followers were sitting in his audience, and how many of those present were single, and would members of either group be flocking to his workshop?
Well, I guessed right, as I had the opportunity of meeting him again a few weeks later. I liked him as a person and I liked the ideas he was promoting and I thought a lot of people could benefit from his teachings.
He seemed sincere, open and friendly, and he tried really hard. So I broke my own rule of not offering help unless asked. I mentioned what I had noticed.
He defended his position, explaining he had not meant this, had really meant that, and he was sure people had not taken his words the wrong way.
"Did you get many takers from that seminar?" He shook his head.
I mentioned the NLP principles of rapport and McKenna's tip. He responded "I'm not an NLP geek."
The penny dropped - ignoring Paul's advice, I may have lost a potential friend and alienated that person.
Does this mean we should say nothing to anyone of what they should or should not do?
Is it that simple?
What do you think?

8-day Intensive NLP Practitioner Training

Healing NLP has two great benefits: you learn to Help Others (and to make a decent living at it if you so choose) AND you learn to sort your own stuff out. People do this training for one more often both these reasons. The truth is, NLP started as a healing therapy....mastering your mind, helping others do the same...our reflective approach sounds a deep chord of appreciation as we learn to use these incredibly powerful techniques, proven ways that really work, with care and understanding.

An NLP Practitioner is someone who has learnt how to use the principles and techniques of NLP to enhance their personal effectiveness and improve those same skills in others.

LEARN HOW TO

Master your emotions and run your own mind

Gain ‘instant confidence’ and motivation in a wide variety of situations

Access your unconscious learning ability at will

Use language with greater precision and elegance

Change unwanted behaviours in yourself and others

Remove unnecessary fears and phobias

Discover your true potential

Create better working and more satisfying emotional relationships

Diagnostic applications

Interesting Question

The Question
My primary interest is to move from mainstream education into private practice over
the next few years. Is your course suitable for someone with an educational rather than a health or therapy background?
The Answer
Thank you for your email and an interesting question. I hope my own experience is helpful for you as I myself came into private practice from an educational (and business) background. The NLP techniques have made a huge difference, especially in terms of understanding the precise meaning behind what people say, and helping them undertand this themselves.

I originally came into NLP because two of my students said I was teaching 'like NLP'. I decided to find out what I was doing. NLP is based on what successful people already do, but I found so much more than that. It filled the gaps, and interested me enough to go on to Practitioner, Master-Practitioner and eventually Licensed Trainer, an amazing journey. Now I teach what I have called 'Healing NLP,' to point up the difference between our more reflective approach and the rah-rah of the business model.

Of course I don't know your educational speciality nor the private practice it is your primary interest to move into but I do know that NLP's communication skills have helped many people help others. Because of its value in improving communication skills, I even insist on NLP Masters training for teachers!

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."

"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
