What is NLP? A brief intoduction to this Mind Enhancment Wonder!

What Is Hemispheric Integration™?
Hemispheric Integration is the science of how the brain codes experience. Your perceptions affect all your communication and behavior. It affects how you learn, how you experience the world around you and how you respond to it. It is key to reaching goals and achieving excellence. This revolutionary breakthrough in whole-brain thinking allows participants to clearly access the information stored in both hemispheres of the brain, facilitating healing and creating strategies for effectiveness. The clarity and simplicity of these processes make Hemispheric Integration a very effective tool for change. We have led people from all walks of life through these processes, bringing about tremendous personal growth and amazing professional changes.

What Is NLP?
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is the study of human excellence. It asks the question, "What works, and how can it work even better?" By analyzing the specific behaviors and internal thinking processes of individuals who consistently demonstrate excellence in a given area, those strategies can be identified down to very fine details. Once this has been accomplished, the proven strategies can be used by others to accomplish the same level of excellence. The same concept holds true for professional goals, interpersonal relationships, and a person's self-esteem.
Behaviors are relatively easy to identify. The exciting and challenging task is to precisely elicit internal thinking processes, beliefs, and motivations. This task becomes even more challenging because very often, those who are top performers are not consciously aware of their internal thinking patterns that lead to their success.
In the early 1970's, Richard Bandler, John Grinder, Robert Ditts, Judith Delozier, Leslie Cameron-Bandler and others discovered ways to access and identify specific and reliable templates that elicit internal mental processes, language patterns, and behavioral characteristics of successful people. This was the beginning of Neuro-Linguistic Programming.
“Neuro” represents the internal workings of the brain, “Linguistic” refers to how language influences our experience, both internally and in communication with others, and “Programming” is how to install effective strategies into our own life.

NLP and Hemispheric Integration have many applications for creating effective and lasting change, from individuals at a personal level, all the way up to and including global politics, and health. As with any field of technology, NLP and Hemispheric Integration have specific terminology to represent concepts and principles of interest to the field. Throughout this site, much of the "jargon" used in the field of NLP has either been translated into user-friendly language, or explained as it is presented.
