Today’s article is on subliminal message programming. If you have missed the previous six parts on this NLP series, you can certainly go back and explore all of the ideas in NLP through these links: pattern interrupt, anchoring, eye accessing cues, chunking and neurological levels.

Defining Subliminal Message Programming

Subliminal Message ProgrammingSubliminal message programming is also known as positive statements, affirmations, or auto suggestions. This form of NLP messaging can be achieved through sound, images and feelings. In order for this form of subliminal message programming to work, these NLP cues must be embedded into the subconscious, which is the much deeper portion of the mind and something you don’t have a lot of control over.

Beginners Guide to NLP – Part 5 (Chunking as a NLP Strategy)

Chunking as a NLP strategy can be useful in many occasions. Have you ever been caught in a negotiation situation where both parties refused to give concessions? This is a common case in diplomacy where politicians try to outwit one another for a better deal.

More often than not, this sort of situation arises because opposing parties are debating and arguing at a level of thought that is similar in its nature. For example, when you choose to decide whether to eat out of not, an agreement might not be so easily reached if you and your children look specifically at the pros and cons of eating out only. Both sides will probably present good points for each case. When such situation occurs, chunking as a NLP strategy can be used to resolve it.

Beginners Guide to NLP – Part 4 (Eye Accessing Cues in NLP)

In introducing today’s part on Eye Accessing Cues in NLP, I would like to ask you to recall one of those interrogation scenes whereby a prisoner is been questioned about the truth. Have you witness one of those scenes? If you have, there will be a part where the focus shifts to the eyes of the prisoner. It is as if the eyes is hiding or telling something.

But it has become an acceptable truth that our eyes or rather, the movements of our eye balls does tell or hide something. This is the beauty of eye accessing cues in NLP. Where the eye balls move when a person thinks or talks, indicate a general mode of thinking. Let us explore further.

Beginners Guide to NLP – Part 2 (Pattern Interrupt in NLP)

With this post on Pattern Interrupt in NLP, we are finally getting started on this series on the Beginners’ Guide to NLP. The key to NLP is all about creating a shift in our emotional states. When we are able to shift from negative to positive emotional states, the decisions we make on any issues becomes better. That will result in better outcomes in our lives.

Pattern InterruptPattern interrupt is one of the most basic NLP skills available. If you examine your own lives, you would be able to single out some instances in your lives or those of your loves ones whereby this NLP skill has been subconsciously used.

The Needs of Our Souls for Inspired Living

Following from my previous post on Two Questions After Death that Will Change Your Life, I am sticking around the non-material and spiritual concept of inspired living today. Today, let us explore more aspects of making our souls sing for inspired living.

Defining Our Souls for Inspired Living

The word, “Soul” is commonly used to depict the disembodied spirit of a deceased person as defined in most dictionaries. For our discussion for inspired living, I would like to define the “Soul” as the emotional part of human nature; the seat of the feelings or sentiments. Understanding how these emotions and feelings provide the greatest clues to make our souls sing.

Why Does Richard Branson Inspire Me?

Richard BransonThe person that inspired me most today is Sir Richard Branson. I used to dislike him in my teens when he was all over the media pulling off stunts to ‘show off’ to the world. The one that I remembered most was one when he covered his genitals with a six pack of Virgin Cola in the early 90s when I first noticed it coming online at the supermarkets.

I thought what a ridiculous gimmick he was trying to get business. No class and no taste. The funny thing was, it worked and I actually bought some Virgin Cola to try. It was not too bad. But thanks to the dirty tricks of Coco Cola, Virgin Cola did not survive.

What are the Stages of Personal Development?

Lunch Talk that Led to Stages of Personal Development

Stages of Personal DevelopmentRecently, I had a rare insight into the stages of personal development when I had lunch with my colleagues. For someone like me, having lunch out with colleagues is a special occasion. I usually prefer not to indulge in the gossiping sessions over lunch with my colleagues. But this lunch proved to be something enlightening.

By then, most of my colleagues would have known about my recent wedding. I did not invite any colleagues because it was a small scale thing. But still words spread and the two of them having lunch with me took the opportunity to talk about it. I was delightfully surprised with the conversation that led to this post on stage of personal development.

Enlightened BeingAre you an enlightened being? Have your ever consider this question for yourself as you go on your personal development journey? Is there such a person in this world? History would say that there are many enlightened being in this world. Buddha, Gandhi, Mother Theresa, Jesus are just some of the obvious ones.

The Healing Embrace of Blogging

My Anger and Frustration before Blogging

I have not been myself since our wedding. After such a joyous occasion, one must definitely feel a high from it right? But that is furthest from the truth. In fact, my fuse had been shorter than ever. Perhaps it is due to the lack of time blogging while preparing for the wedding.

Last night my children cried themselves to sleep. When they finally fell asleep, I thought that peace would finally reign until the time I go to work early next morning. But shortly after waking up, my girl woke up crying again. Needless to say, it woke her brother up too, who started crying naturally. There go my plans for blogging.
