[color=blue]I'm smiling as I write this.
From my perspective (opinion), there's no debate about whether NLP works.
Does the name Pavlov ring a bell? His [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Pavlov]dogs[/url] proved that even animals respond to auditory programming.
It was the discovery of the "conditioned reflex".
Our linguistic programming includes awareness of subtle variations... the speaker's facial expression, the inflection they use, even the emotional state of the listener.
It allows us to hear someone say "Oh, God!" and understand whether the cause is anguish, pleasure, or a reference to deity.
And that understanding influences choices we make and actions we take.
It's important to understand that neural linguistic programming is as individual as a fingerprint. And it's much, much more than "programming" that I (as a hypnotist) "do" to someone.
And even if you don't understand this long, long explanation, don't you wonder why I bothered saying anything about smiling at the start of this posting?[/color]
