In this NLP blog, we are going to talk about the power of the mind body connection.
Don’t tell the pharmacy companies, but NLP could improve your health!
Most people have heard about the mind-body connection, however how many people have really experienced it.
As a quick experiment, try this out.
Ask someone to stand up and hold one of their arms out straight to the side. Tell them you are going to try to push their arm down and they have to resist. Before you do this, ask them to think about someone they really like and keep thinking about that person as they resist you.
Then get them to relax their arms and once more put their arm out to the side. Now ask them to think about someone they really dislike and try to resist you as you push their arm down.
Which was more difficult? Pushing down the arm when the person was thinking about the person they dislike, or the person they like?
For most people when they think about someone they dislike, the arm becomes easier to push down.
Whatever we think about has an effect on our physiology. That is a powerful learning for many people on an NLP training. When we are thinking about things we do not like, we have more tension in our bodies and even different chemicals produced internally. When we do not like something and we have more tension in our bodies, it will drain energy more quickly.
When people learn NLP they learn to be more in control of their emotions. Of course, even an NLP Master Practitioner will not just turn off emotions with the click of a finger – when things happen we all respond emotionally. But if we are left with emotions for too long, it is useful to be able to do something about them – that is where NLP can help – the things people learn on an NLP training will have a major influence on the mind-body connection.
So learning NLP could make you healthier and also happier!
We have an NLP training starting in June – join us and experience change at the deepest level!
