Sometime people as me, “What is the relationship with firewalking and NLP?”  In a formal sense there is no relationship.   But tradition says that when Tony Robins asked is NLP mentor, “What is next to learn?” that Grinder replied, “Firewalking!”.  And of course we know the rest of the story.   Tony Robins moved from NLP training to firewalking completing a successful journey that focused not only on intellectual growth and problem solving but to a whole new level of helping people achieve their greatest dreams I all aspects of life.

The ICBCH is happy to announce it has teamed up with the Firewalking Institute of Research and Education to offer a Professional Life Coaching Certification and NLP Practitioner Certification this September 14-17 in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.

Richard Nongard, a frequent guest speaker at F.I.R.E and the president of the ICBCH (International Certification Board of Clinical Hypnotherapists) will be the featured instructor.   This course is designed to prepare you to offer life-coach services in both individual and group environments, and apply these skills to both individual transformation and in executive leadership settings.

This four-day even will combine classroom learning with hands on applications and self-discovery.  The F.I.R.E. staff will also provide opportunities to challenge limiting beliefs through teaching participants how to walk on glass, fire, and accomplish many other feats of endurance and power.

Participants will come from all over the world to attend this event, and will leave with dual certification in both Professional Life-Coaching and as a Professional NLP Practitioner.   For more information contact the ICBCH and Richard Nongard at www.SubliminalScience.com or at (800) 390-9536

When would I use NLP communication skills?

If you have anything to do with teaching, hypnosis, magic, entertainment, sales, counseling, therapy, advertising, writing or medicine – in other words, if you want to convey important information or persuade someone to listen carefully and follow your advice – you want to learn and use NLP communication skills. Neuro-linguistic programming techniques are designed to help you build faster, stronger rapport with people (help them to feel comfortable and like you), and to refine the words you use and how you say them so that they have a greater positive impact on the listener.

If you want to close the sale, focus attention, increase learning and retention, influence understanding or simply be heard by friends and family, learning how to use NLP skills can help.

What exactly will I learn in a good NLP Certification Training Class?

A good NLP program will teach you not only how to interact more effectively with others, but also how to make lasting positive changes within yourself. Personal growth is a never-ending challenge for most of us, but these simple processes can rapidly reduce the struggle and help you achieve amazing results both personally and professionally.

A quality NLP certification training course will teach you all about things called: NLP Presuppositions, State Change and State Management, Calibrations, Submodalities, Representational Systems and Learning Styles, Meta Model, Frames and Reframes, Incongruity, Swish Patterns, Timeline Work, Eye Patterns, Related Therapies, the Fast-Phobia Cure, Anchoring, Metaphysical NLP strategies, and many other concepts, skills, techniques and tools for your own personal development and professional practice.

How can I become Certified in NLP?

If you complete an NLP certification training program by studying all the coursework and successfully passing the exam or quiz, you will be presented with a certificate of achievement and earn credentials such as CPNLP – a Certified Practitioner of NLP – which you can use after your name on websites, business cards and other correspondence.

One of the most popular NLP certification training courses is the Complete NLP and Life Coaching program offered through the ICBCH. This combined program offers dual certification – in both NLP communication skills and life coaching practice – together as one course, for one price.

The added benefit of this specific program is that you will learn not only how to use the specific skills of NLP, but also how you can put them into another profitable career practice, in addition to your existing personal and professional uses.

The practice of NLP is not regulated by any state or national governing board. NLP skills are used by life coaches, sales people, professional counselors, marriage and family therapists, clinical hypnotists, entertainers, college professors, politicians, public relations specialists, relationship coaches, and everyday Regular Joes.

If you or a client has a fear of flying, or any other phobia, you might want to try this NLP exercise called the “Fast Phobia Cure.”

For many, this will completely and totally alleviate the fear, but only if you actually spend some time going through the process outlined in your mind.

The process of the fast phobia cure involves replaying the visual memory of fear of flying (or other fear) – but in entirely different ways than a person usually does. This method disrupts the painful way fears are remembered and enables the person’s mind to re-code flying in a way that does not bother them. It is faster and more effective than older forms of traditional talk therapy, and this process is extremely beneficial for people who have a good ability to visualize.

Lets start:

Close your eyes and relax. Picture in your mind the inside of your favorite movie theater. Glance around the theater and notice that you have the whole place to yourself. Visualize the décor, and what the seats are like.

See the large screen up front, the rows of empty comfortable chairs, and the exit signs.

Look back for a moment to where the projection booth is up on the rear wall.

Now find your favorite seat in the theater, and settle into it. Take in the sights, sounds and smells of the theater. Feel the seat and floor underneath you.

Now up on the movie screen you can see a black and white still photo of yourself — a snapshot — a single picture of you – taken just before you have the phobic or traumatic experience that the movie is going to play in a few minutes.

Soon, the screen is going to show a black and white movie about you. This movie will have no sound; like a poor quality home video, it may flicker a bit.

Now that you are comfortable in the seat, watching the still black and white picture of yourself, before the movie starts, let your “mind” drift up into the projection booth where you can control the movie, while the physical “you” person remains relaxing in the theater seat.

Float your mind up to the projection booth now.

Look around the booth, and note the details of the walls, and the frame around the window, and the large reels of film on the projector, and see the long beam of dusty white light streaming towards the movie screen.

Look down and see the person sitting in their favorite seat watching the screen, waiting for the movie to start.

Now, push the button and start the projector. See the person down in the theater seat, and watch as they now see the scratchy black and white snapshot turn into a scratchy black-and-white movie, of you going through your experience in which you used to have a phobic response, as it begins to play on the screen.

If the move gets too intense for that person, you can adjust the projector to show only every third frame or so.

The movie starts at a time shortly before the fearful event – and plays on through the event – and then continues on to a time well after the event – then fades out.

As you watch the person in the seat, see that person watch the movie start up again – and play through past the event as before – but this time it stops on the final frame, well past the event, and freezes as a still image of you, after the event.

Now, float yourself from the projection booth down into the movie itself.

See the movie scene now through your own eyes. Notice that the movie now becomes fully dimensional – with full color, sound, texture, depth and so on.

Now quickly, play the film backwards, this time in color. The people move backwards, the sound plays backwards, with you in the movie, also moving backwards. Rewind it all the way back to the beginning. Good.

Now play the movie forwards, in color, with sound, with you in it.

Explore how you feel dealing with that situation in which you used to experience the phobic response. Are you more relaxed? In control? Secure with your surroundings?

Experience your new response of peace, calm and satisfaction. That’s it. Good.

Now, if you feel it would be helpful, you can play the movie backwards again. But this time, allow yourself to hear to funniest, most ludicrous background music you can imagine – something from a circus act or a disco nightclub, maybe.

Now, play the movie of your old phobic experience backwards, but with the silly music. Run it all the way back to the beginning. Excellent. Now relax.

What is an NLP Swish Pattern?

People often “see” (think) uncomfortable or distressing mental pictures, which may increase stress and anxiety levels, and PTSD sufferers can actually become paralyzed (emotionally and physically) by the images in their head.

A “swish pattern” is a special yet very simple and effective technique for helping clients to instantly replace a negative visual image with a positive image, with the goal to reduce anxiety and create emotional stability, or to seek and maintain calmness and manage stress during times of confusion.

How Does a Swish Pattern Work?

The Swish Pattern is a short 5-part exercise, that works along the lines of the basic “when you’re depressed, draw a happy picture – and take it out and look at it when you’re feeling down” concept from therapy.

The following is a brief explanation of the demonstration exercise:

1) Think of an event or pattern of behavior that you associate with being negative, distressing, uncomfortable or unhappy.

2) Close your eyes, and imagine an image or picture that is Opposite of the distressing concept, in as much detail as possible. Black and white to color, harsh to soft, violent to calm, ugly to pretty, etc.

3) Open your eyes. Now think: What triggers the negative images? Is it an emotion, a place, a sound?

4) Close your eyes again, and point (physically and in your mind) to the lower left hand corner of your mental vision range. Your old negative, distressing image is currently filling the screen, while the new positive image is hiding under your finger in the lower left hand corner, the size of a postage stamp.

Now, take your finger and swoosh-slide it up, over and across. As you do, the new positive image grows and expands and ultimately covers and replaces the old negative image completely.

5) Open your eyes, but continue thinking for a few seconds about the new positive image, and let the change to calming peace overtake you.

In the future, if you begin to feel uncomfortable or distressed, simply close your eyes and use your finger to swish your happy, stress-free image over the negative image, effectively wiping it out of existence, bringing calm, peaceful feelings to the forefront of your mind.

What is a Primary Representational System?

A Primary Representational System, or PRS, is essentially your personal learning style and situational response approach, meaning how you best absorb information and/or respond to an event. There are three different Styles: Auditory (hearing), Visual (seeing), and Kinesthetic (feeling). Obviously most everyone experiences all three styles to one degree or another, but we generally have a stronger response in one area over the other two, and this is our “primary” system.

How Do You Determine Your Personal Primary Representational System?

There are a couple of different tools available to help you determine your (or your client’s) PRS. One of the most popular is the “Nongard Assessment of Primary Representational Systems,” which is a 10 question multiple-choice self-response quiz. The way it works is this: A question or statement is presented about a situation, and three choices are offered. One choice reflects a visual response, one reflects an auditory response, and the third presents a kinesthetic or feelings-based response. You simply read the question and select the option that most closely represents how you are most likely to react if you were in the described situation.

For example, consider this Question:

When you spell a new or difficult word, do you:
___ a.) Visualize it on a blackboard.
___ b.) Sound it out.
___ c.) Start writing it out.

And this one:

If you buy an assemble-it-yourself project, what do you do:
___ a.) Look at the picture on the box.
___ b.) Read the directions out loud.
___ c.) Just start building and complete it by trial
and error.

As you can see, in the above response choices for both questions the (a) answers are visually oriented, the (b) answers are auditory focused, and the (c) answers are kinesthetic in nature. Selected responses will vary from question to question and person to person, and while most people will select some answers from all three categories, generally the greatest number of responses will be in a single category, thus determining the individual’s Primary Representational System.

For instance, if they have 8 (a) visual responses and 1 response each in auditory and kinesthetic, their PRS is Visual. If they have 6 (b) auditory responses, 3 (a) visual responses and 1 (c) kinesthetic response, their PRS is Auditory.

Why is Identifying a Primary Representational System Helpful?

If you practice NLP techniques (neuro-linguistic programming), life coaching, hypnotherapy or counseling, knowing your (and your client’s) PRS can help make learning (and teaching) new information easier. If you know from assessment that a specific client’s learning style is more visual, you can take care to supplement your presentation of information to them via actual pictures (or graphs, charts, written text), and/or to describe situations or information more visually, so they can “see it in their mind.”

If they are more auditory, it might be helpful to speak directions or instructions aloud to them, rather than just handing them a paper to read to themselves. Subtle background music is often helpful when studying or concentrating, as is learning by listening to audio-books or other recorded information.

If the client is primarily kinesthetic, it can be helpful to describe concepts in relation to emotions, or to present hands-on projects. Often, the more intense the experience is, either emotionally or physically, the greater impact it will have on their comprehension and retention.

Where Can I Find a Primary Representational System Assessment Tool?

Assessment of primary representational systems is quick and easy, and can make a substantial difference in the comprehension and retention of new ideas. The “Nongard Assessment of Primary Representational Systems” quiz by Richard K. Nongard, LMFT/CCH is included in the Complete NLP Practitioner and Life Coaching Certification Training Program, and is also available as a free download at www.SubliminalScience.com.
