A new book edited by John Grinder and Frank Pucelik is about to be published. The book, called ‘Origins of NLP’ is made up of a series of personal accounts written by people who were present when NLP was in its earliest of days (circa 1971/72) before it even had a name, as well as contributions from people who joined the field as it was developing (circa 1976/78) into something much bigger. I have been lucky enough to see pre-publication copy of this b...
Altered states of consciousness have been utilised for centuries as a means of healing and creating change in individuals. Indigenous tribes used various dances and rituals to access trance like states.

In this case the process to relate becomes relationship and we treat how we relate with our partner as a static object. This month’s article is also on nominalisations and a key part of the relating process and that is attraction. In a r...
In the many years, I have practiced NLP and Hypnosis working as a change agent, the work I have undertaken in the field of health and healing stands out to me as being most significant in making a major contribution. Life changing is an understatement, when you facilitate a process of healing where the client’s prognosis is terminal, and yet with Hypnosis and NLP processes the person has a full recovery. Here are a few extracts, written directly by peo...
The Classic Code of NLP gave us a new way of thinking about change. Grinder et al brought about a revolution, change can be quick, process orientated and free of investigating the past.
