Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is defined as the study of the structure of subjective experience and what can be calculated from that and is predicated upon the belief that all behavior has structure. NLP premise is that the words we use reflect an inner, subconscious perception of our problems. If these words are inaccurate and still we are using them continuously then some underlying problems may occur. Our attitudes are self-fulfilling prophecy.
Neuro refers to the brain and neural network that feeds into the brain. Neurons or nerve cells are the working units used by the nervous. System to send, receives, and store signals that add up to information.
Linguistics refers to the content, both verbal and non-verbal.
Programming is the way the content or signal is manipulated to convert it into useful information.
So in this way it becomes neuro linguistics programming as a whole.
We react in a manner as our feelings and experiences affect the external stimuli. For an example, I m scared of dogs, as I had a dog bite in my childhood. But other person likes the dog very much, they live with them. For them it is a pet for me it is a wild animal. So people react differently as their feelings react to external stimuli. So the signals that are transmitted by the brain were different because of the perception of two different people.
How does Neuro Linguistic Programming works
NLP uses the attitude and self image towards the illness to heal it up. We never stop praying to god for our welfare. Because hope is the thing we have and no one can snatch it from us. When people loose hope their inner ability and fighting power goes on decreasing. For example people suffering from diseases like cancer or aids looses their hope of living. They got shattered. If made them aware about there internal abilities and capabilities, then they would start seeing thing in a new manner. NLP helps to do so. It heals up the person internally.
Assumptions that works
NLP makes assumptions or presumptions that are the beliefs a person will find useful in effecting changes to them and to the world.
Some of them are:-
• You cannot fail to communicate.
• Having choice is better than having no choice at all
• If you aren’t getting the response you want, try something different.
• Communication is more than what you are saying.
• Every behavior is useful in some context
• There is no such thing as failure. There is only feedback
• If someone can do something, anyone can learn it.
