Simply NLP

From young, I have been leading a simple life and I enjoy being simple.

And NLP is teaching us just that...........simple.

It is simpler to stay happy and enjoy all moments in life than to be haunted by sadness.
It is simpler to make full use of our Gift than not to use and hide them.
It is simpler to do things right than to undo the wrongs.

A wise man has simple solutions and a wiser man has ONE simpler solution.

And NLP is teaching us just that...........simple.

After going through the simple NLP course, I gain knowledge on how to get back to our simple senses. And we are simply getting back our simplicity in life.

And NLP is teaching us just that...........simple.

Happiness is simple.
Successes are simple.

And now I have found another Gift........just a SIMPLE gift.

There is just one simple rule in life; and is just to follow these simple rules.

Life is simply simple, so why look for alternatives?

The fan blows off the soup box...........

Do we need to simplify this message?

The Soup Factory


This soup factory recently received numerous complaints about buyers getting some boxes without the soup inside. Thus the 6 team members assembled in a meeting to discuss for a solution. We shall call these 6 members, Mr Red, Mr Black, Mr Green, Mr Yellow, Mr White and Mr Blue respectively.

Each contributed their effort. Finally Mr Green suggested of inventing a machine with an x-ray camera so that when these soup boxes passed though the conveyor belt, the camera could detect all empty boxes. Mr Yellow loved this idea and was saying they could even sell this machine if it was successful. Mr Red had the gut to believe this could work well. However, Mr Black thought it would not succeed as there were no similar machine in the market and by past experience, it should not work well. Mr White volunteered to gather all information and researches. So Mr Blue, did the planning and make sure the whole process went smoothly.

Some 2 years later, the machine was neatly placed beside the conveyer belt and was smartly detecting every empty box that passed through.

Complaints dropped to ZERO.

The floor cleaner Mr SP came into the room and was surprised to see a new machine in the room. ‘Hey, that’s a great machine, what's it for?’

“This machine is our latest invention and cost us 17 millions to put all the parts together.” Mr Green said proudly, “and I am the one who invented it !”

Mr SP inspected the machine closely, “great, but what is it for?”

Mr Yellow said, “Well, to reduce the chance for those soup boxes passing through the finishing line empty.”

Mr SP went around the conveyer belt, “huh, 17 million dollars for this machine?". He saw a standing fan at the corner of the room took it and placed it next to the belt. When the fan started blowing, some empty boxes began to blow off the belt.

“Ah huh, aren't the problem solved and just need a simple solution?’ SP pronounced.

Can we simplify this story?

Script for Elman-Banyan Rapid Hypnotic Induction

Get your client/subject in a comfortable position. Ask them if they would like to do hypnosis with you. Ask for permission to touch your client’s arm or hand.

“Take a look at my hand. Take a nice deep breath and hold it. Now let it out and let your eyes close.”

“Now, take your attention to your eye lids. You can relax your eyelids so much they just won’t work. Once you are sure that you have done that, hold onto that relaxation. Now, check them to make sure they won’t work. Good; stop testing and go deeper relaxed. Now, send that feeling of relaxation down through your body, from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet.”

“Now, I’m going to do a check to make sure you have understood and have followed my instructions. In a moment, I am going to lift your hand and drop it. Don’t help me lift it. Just let it be limp and relaxed. Let me do all of the lifting (Pick it up about 2 inches and drop it.) Good. Go deeper.”

“Human beings do better with practice, so let’s do that one more time and you will find that you can go even deeper. Take your attention to your eyelids and hold onto that relaxation. One more time, test them to make sure that they won’t work. Good; stop testing and go deeper. Now, send that entire body, from the top of your hand to the tips of your toes, as if you meant to go ten times deeper.”

“One more time…. Take your attention to your eyelids and just like before, test them to make sure they won’t work. Good; stop testing and go deeper relaxed. Now, send that feeling down across your body as if you mean to go two times deeper.”

“Now, let’s relax your mind. Really allow your mind to relax, like your body is relaxed. In a moment, I’m going to have you slowly and softly begin to count, starting with the number one. After each number, let your mind double its relaxation. After a few numbers, it doesn’t take long, you will be able to relax your mind so nicely that the numbers will fade away to nothing, nothing, nothing, and disappear. Want that – and you can have it very easily. When the numbers are gone, raise your right index finger to let me know how well you are doing.”

“Being…(Your client says, “One” Touch her on the shoulder and say...) Softer…
(Your client says, “Two”) Good. Slower.
(Your client says, “Three”) Now, double your mental relaxation
(Your client says, “Four”) Now, let them begin to fade away as you relax your mind.(Your client says, “Five”) Double your mental relaxation – fading away to nothing, nothing, nothing.
(When numbers are gone, say, “Good;go deeper.”)

“In a moment I’m going to count from one to five; with each number that I count, allow yourself to relax so much with each number that by the time I get to five, you will be as if you have doubled your relaxation.
One… Relaxation is beginning to double.
Two… Relaxation is doubling more and more.
Three… Relaxation is doubling throughout your entire body.
Four… Your Relaxation has almost doubled.
Five… The Relaxation has completely doubled from the top of your head to the tips of your toes.”
