Last
week was the last in our series of tips on how to make your ideas “sticky”.
Today, we’re going to start exploring some of the stickiest ideas they are:
beliefs. In fact, beliefs are so sticky that people forget to remember that
they’re just ideas. In this article, I’m going to reveal the curious nature
of beliefs, & start giving you some ideas about how to shift them if you
want to.
I’ve
been editing the next Salad video release, a demonstration of Sleight of
Mouth, a set of conversational belief change patterns & tools. At the start,
I invite the participants to “Think of a belief that you’ve perceived
as having limited you until now.”
We’ve
all heard about so-called “limiting” beliefs. You may even have identified
some of your own. But when I was being trained by Chris Hall (NLP
Meta-Master Trainer & Ultimate Wordsmith) last year, she said something that
floored me. I was talking about a “limiting belief” I had been having
trouble with, & she asked: How have you been perceiving this as a
limitation until now?
She
explained to me that, in her opinion, there are no limiting beliefs; there
are just beliefs which we perceive as limiting. She went on to
remind me that, from an NLP perspective, every behaviour has a positive
intention, & all our processes can be viewed as resources in some context.
This was a bombshell. My so-called “limiting” beliefs were actually valuable
resources.
The
funny thing is, I’ve been doing reframing for years. I know that every
behaviour is useful in some context. But somehow, when it came to “limiting”
beliefs, I thought the rules were different. So it’s time to reclaim the
word! From now on, when you hear someone talk about “limiting” beliefs,
start to think in terms of “beliefs they’ve been perceiving as having
limited them until now”.
I know
this is a mouthful, but it carries with it some valuable presuppositions:
·
Beliefs are
perceptions
·
The idea of a
belief limiting someone is a perception
·
The belief
can be re-directed, to open up possibilities while remaining true to it’s
positive intention
·
Things are
going to be different from now on
I
often say that if a person’s having a battle with themselves, someone’s
going to lose, & it’s them. But when it comes to “limiting beliefs”,
I realised I’d been battling with myself on a variety of fronts.
It’s
time to stop battling.
Over
the weeks to come, we’re going to be exploring a variety of ideas for
helping you get more flexibility with your beliefs, & learn the tools for
doing belief-change with others.
If you
have some beliefs that you’ve been perceiving as having limited you until
now, then this would be a good time to write them down on paper. You can
refer back to the list in the weeks to come as we explore ways to make
changes & open up greater possibility.
1)
Make a list of beliefs you’ve been perceiving as limitations
until now.
These
typically take the form of “I can’t do x” or “I could never do y” etc. If
you have been having trouble identifying them, think of something you’d
really love to do, have or experience, then ask “How is it that I haven’t
got this yet?” You may find an “I can’t…” coming to the surface.
It’s a
really good idea to write these down on a sheet of paper or in a word
document, because this has some useful effects:
·
It starts
encoding these beliefs differently in your neurology (writing something uses
different mental maps to when it’s just rattling round in your head)
·
It
externalises them. Once you’ve written something down, you can perceive it
from a different perceptual position to when you’re just thinking about
them.
·
Patterns may
begin to emerge. Often, when you write beliefs down, you start to see
similarities between them.
2)
Ask yourself “What is it that all these beliefs have in
common?”
We
want to group the beliefs together. That way, making changes to one belief
will affect all of them. Cool huh?
I’m
going to be doing tons of belief-change work on my programme which start on
Friday June 6th (tomorrow),
“Authentic Attraction with NLP”.
This is for men only. There are only a few places & a few hours left
before that begins, so if you want to experience transformational belief
change for yourself, & take your experiences with women & with life in
general to the next level, book your place immediately
“Authentic Attraction with NLP”
or by calling the Salad booking hotline on 0845 650 1045.
Have a
great week,,

Your Search
For the Ultimate Collection of Hypnosis Resources Is Over...
Now, for a limited time, you
cann get the entire Salad library of
Hypnosis resources at a substantial discount and begin learning how
to be more influential with your language NOW.
When I
first came across NLP, I read about amazing things it was possible to do
with it hypnosis. When I went on training courses, I was to discover even
more cool stuff that I wanted to learn, and one of the things that I
found most fascinating (and useful) was hypnosis.
I was
surprised to learn the principles of hypnosis underpin much of NLP. I
was even more surprised to learn that many of the so-called presuppositions
of NLP had been based on the beliefs and behaviours of Milton Erickson, the
world's greatest hypnotherapist. I discovered that mastering the principles
of hypnotic communication was actually going to be key for me to have the
sort of success I wanted in my life.
Read on
and you'll realise the skills you can learn here aren't available anywhere
else...
Hypnosis
Involves Multi-Sensory Communication
If you've
attended a training course in hypnosis then you probably noticed that
language techniques are only part of the equation (an important part no
less). That is why we offer you The Secrets of Hypnosis Collection
with DVD Video alongside The Secrets of Hypnosis Collection
with either Audio CD or MP3 Audio versions.
The
Secrets of Hypnosis DVD set
is our Magnum Opus of
hypnosis training tools. You will
witness more than 20 live demonstrations & inductions (or more
than a hundred, if you count all the covert things you'll discover with
repeated viewings). What's more, the fact we used three-camera angles on the
Secrets of Hypnosis
DVD Set
means you will get to see all the visual information you need in order to
learn hypnotic communication thoroughly.
*******************************************************************
KEY SUCCESS FACTOR: The visual aspect is crucialfor
successful hypnotic communication. In their classic book Trance-formations, NLP Co-developers
Bandler & Grinder explain that hypnosis is highly visual - you
need to notice the changes taking place in the client, then feed those
changes back to them in your language. This relies on your being able to
notice what to notice! The DVDs have
been designed to maximise the visual data you get (eg. Breathing rate, eye
movements, skin colour changes, gestures etc...)
*******************************************************************
The Secrets of
Hypnosis
So now
I've decided to start passing on the secrets I've learned. The first step
was to create Ericksonian Hypnosis Cards TM to help people learn to use the
language patterns of hypnosis. The cards have been selling like hotcakes,
and have quickly gained a reputation as the world's leading resource for
learning hypnotic language. What I didn't anticipate is that I would be
inundated with requests for hypnosis training! The good news is, I spent
years learning to do this, so you can learn it quickly! the fast
track to hypnotic skill , which we recorded to produce The Secrets of
Hypnosis DVD
and audio sets .
By the time you finish watching this DVD , you will learn:
-
How hypnosis works:
what its benefits are, and when to use it (whether with yourself, with
individuals, or with entire groups of people!)

learn how!

hypnosis for yourself.

Including positive double-binds, negation, ordeals and lots of other
powerful techniques for getting people to go in a certain direction.
-
Pattern interrupts :
including the legendary handshake interrupt, as well as others that are
far more covert, but just as powerful
-
Hypnotic Metaphor :
You'll learn how to create powerful metaphors and use them to help
people develop solutions, to persuade and to influence, or even just to
clarify a point.
-
And tons more : I mean it. There is so much we're going to be
covering on this training that you're going to be completely blown away
by how much you've learned, and how much you are able to put into
practice.
