0 Shall We Trance

I'm always curious about what and why people choose to learn. Sometimes its obvious - a desire to help others, or better control of your life, to find grounding and balance, managing energy, losing unwanted fears, phobias, toxic emotions, reactions to stress. One thing struck me: we all love to learn! For me, teaching is learning, sharing knowledge and experiences, helping make a difference.

Learning something new is like travelling to places you've never been, seeing new sights, hearing new sounds, smelling new smells, tasting new tastes. Its the journey, its the destination, its the guidebook. And its the challenge, too, isn't it? The excitement of being a student again, not quite knowing what's going to happen, but knowing it will be something new, that opens new doors or closes the old on a past behind us, where it belongs. Our future takes just a step to begin!

SHALL WE TRANCE?

Preparing for the next practitioner training I once again find myself intensely interested in how our brain works. How we can make sudden, lasting change in the way we think really captured my attention when I first trained in NLP with Paul McKenna, and has kept me fascinated since. I realised I don't have to be a word-famous magician or hypnotist to show others how they can control habits or cope with unnecessary fear and phobias. The process does it, small steps to giant leaps, simple techniques that master emotions, gain confidence, change unwanted behaviours, power up motivation. What my NLP students have said about how the process has helped them makes me feel a sense of gratitude to Paul, for showing how to help others become the best they can be.

Originally teaching NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) for complementary healthcare practitioners, student feedback over the years made me realise many more benefits from improvement in powers of observation public speaking, group facilitation. interview situations (whichever side of the desk) especially nowadays with so much re-thinking of career and job-satisfaction.

For many students English was their second language and you hear their command improve with precision and elegance. All of us reap the benefits of how to make yourself understood (very good for avoiding misunderstanding), or understand why people don't always understand!

How interesting to learn something new in a strictly come trancing way - its all the same, really, trance, hypnotism, meditation, relaxation - the special words and phrases that work to help others and yourself make a difference. I'm running an 8-day intensive NLP Practitioner Training in the Summer break,24th to 31st August, Monday to Monday, 9am to 6pm. Its intensive, its effective. Click to learn more and see the video. Works too for CPD.
