Stepping Stones to a New Experience

When using NLP Techniques, or NLP patterns, we are building a bridge from old thoughts, states, feelings, beliefs, or behaviors to new ones. Or in other words, a we are building a bridge from where we are to the place we want to be. In NLP Jargon, we say moving from a Present State to a Desired State, or PS -> DS.

NLP techniques or patterns are simply documented and tested strategies that move us and our neurology along in a stepwise manner in a positive direction. The NLP bridgework that we do happens inside our neurology, as old habits and ways of thinking and feeling are diminished, in favor of new neurological patterns. These new patterns are then reinforced or strengthened until they become habituated.

In the engineering world, no two bridges are exactly alike. Good engineering requires a rigorous study of the terrain, and the load that the bridge must ultimately carry. Real human change engineering is also required when building neurological bridges that will carry the load they must in the future that we want to create.

Fortunately, the NLP forefathers have left a wake of NLP patterns as templates that have stood the test of time, and are freely available, and new patterns are being modeled all the time by creative NLPers.

We are always adding NLP techniques, patterns and strategies that you can freely use. Credit will be given whenever possible to those who have modeled these patterns originally, but we take liberty, (and so can you) of changing those patterns as needed to get the best results.

Please make sure to comment on the patterns as you read and use them. We want to know how they work in your practice!
