What is NLP?
NLP stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programming. It is a scientific way of effecting change in a person using the power of language and our thinking process. It is a behavioral technology and an approach to communication and personal development created by Richard Bandler and John Grinder, they came up with the concept in the United States in the year 1970 through a process of modeling. Richard Bandler started with observing people and recognizing patterns of behaviour. NLP was born through the process of recording and documenting the behavior patterns. According to NLP there is a connection between our neurological processes, language and behaviour. Our experiences form our behaviour and attitude which can be changed using language to achieve specific goals in life. It has also been used to treat phobias, depression, mental illnesses, myopia, allergies, common cold and learning disorders.
NLP uses communication and power of the subconscious mind and is taught in almost all developed countries as a system and inner transformation . It is also used to heal psychological problems, induce states of success, change behavioural patterns and more. The language that we use to talk to others and to ourselves affects our behaviour and our understanding of life.
