NLP has been defined in many different ways and a Google search will bring up thousands of entries. I'd like to share with everyone my definition of NLP. You see… at some time in your life, you probably bought a car or some piece of equipment that was complex enough for the manufacturer to give you a manual to help you understand how to operate it. Some of us read the manual, some don't.Well, now, here you are, today in this lifetime. Having been born into this beautiful body with your amazing brain and nervous system, and no one handed you a manual of how it works and how to operate it!To me NLP is the manual (the understanding) of how your mind works and also help you to change and retrain or reprogram your mind.At its heart, NLP is only a process of modelling. NLP will look at any problem with the question: How do you do it? (the depression, the anxiety, the feeling of being stuck, etc.) Once you can understand the structure of the problem (how it is made up and what it is made of) you can begin changing the structure of the old problem and it will begin to change and disappear. There are NLP techniques for everything: Marketing, Parenting, whatever. NLP itself is simply a process of learning to understand yourself – uncovering how you do what you do. And you can become the best of who you really are.Steve Andreas writes this amazing definition: "First there was psychoanalysis, analysing the mind. Then there was psychotherapy, in which one person treats or "therapizes" another. NLP can also be used in this way, but primarily NLP is about psycho-education, teaching someone how to use their mind, so that people can use it with themselves, as more of a personal practice, rather than a therapy.
