What is Neuro Linguistic Programming?

Basically, NLP focuses on 'what works' through careful observation of reality. It is a very practical approach based on constant testing and gathering of tangible evidence about what is happening. NLP grew from modelling how successful people think and do the things they do. Because people are complex, NLP codified this research into a structured approach to simplify the complexity. NLP teaches these positive behaviours that create desired results through simple and practical techniques.

NLP originated in the 1970's at University of Santa Cruz, when Richard Bandler and John Grinder led a group of highly talented graduate students to explore all aspects of human behaviour. Together they collected, collated and coded their discoveries and insights from studying 'star performers' who excelled in their fields of knowledge. So NLP incorporates ideas and techniques from many different disciplines: behavioural psychology, gestalt therapy, family therapy, hypnotherapy, linguistics, anthropology, martial arts, dance and many other fields.

NLP theory and techniques currently provide the most complete set of coaching tools for the professional arena: in depth skills for communication, management of teams, managing upwards, increasing authenticity, credibility, confidence, motivation, influence and gravitas, entrepreneurial skills, strategic planning

What does that name mean?

A good analogy is that if the brain works like a computer, then NLP is like the 'operating guide' for making the best use of your mind.
Neuro refers to how the neurology of the brain processes information through the 5 primary senses and how that creates responses in the body.
Linguistic means both the words and non-verbal communication you use to make meaning of everyday experience through pictures, sounds, feelings, tastes and smells.
Programming explains how your neurology has been programmed since birth, and how you can change it to be more compatible with what you want.

Why do so many people train in NLP?

Neuro Linguistic Programming provides the most comprehensive set of skills, theory and technology for learning how to transform your own life as well as how to coach and empower others. People all over the world have come to recognise the value and power of learning NLP because it moves beyond remedial change (focusing on the problem), to more 'generative' change (empowering you to find the solution). A unique aspect of NLP is that it can be done 'content free'. Because NLP focuses on the structure of how you think rather than the story, deep and profound changes can be made without delving into detailed history.

Where can NLP training be used?

Many people incorporate NLP skills into improving the work they do - business, education, law, therapy, health, even sports. Some people use it to develop a new aspect to their career, while others use it for their own personal development. NLP can be used to solve practically any personal or professional communication problem. NLP is essential training for learning how to be in control of internal states, being more positive, confident, motivated, decisive and convincing.

How is it taught?

A good NLP training is carefully designed to make it easy and fun to learn the skills through a mixture of lecture and participation in exercises. The emphasis is on 'learning by doing' - special interactions that demonstrate the processes that run human behaviour. As you experience each concept for yourself, you also learn practical ways to use it for yourself and others. Practical Miracles trainings also specialize in assisting people to increase their Emotional Intelligence.

What is EQ – Emotional Intelligence?

Classic IQ tests measure only one aspect of human intelligence, and provide poor indication of a person’s success in life. In contrast, high levels of EQ or EI, virtually guarantee the kind of interactions with other people that result in successful lives. The 5 basic elements of EQ are: increasing your self awareness, being able to regulate and manage your emotions, knowing how to motivate yourself, have empathy with others, and having the social skills to negotiate, persuade and manage emotions in your relationships.

What is EFT?

Emotional Freedom Technique basically uses a simple tapping procedure to interrupt unwanted emotions and beliefs. Tapping on the end points of the acupuncture system (mainly on the face and hands) apparently releases neurotransmitters in the brain which affect the thought process. Combined with specific questions to unearth deep seated or unconscious beliefs, this incredibly fast and effective tool can create miraculous change in minutes. EFT is included on many of the Practical Miracles trainings.

What is Compassionate Coaching?

Arielle coined the phrase to describe Coaching that seeks to maintain alignment with your higher purpose in life. Some people drive themselves to burnout chasing after goals and beat themselves up in the process. Often this leads to health problems. What if pushing yourself to the limits is not always required? What if you didn’t have to be so hard on yourself? What if you could stop judging yourself when your results seem less than perfect?

Compassionate Coaching teaches how to empower yourself and achieve results with ease. Wouldn’t you like to create the kind of magnetic attraction that compels your positive outcomes to just happen effortlessly? Wouldn’t you like to wake up every morning feeling full of excitement and anticipation? What if treating yourself with compassion actually worked better to achieve results and success?
