A review of a seminar event with Richard Bandler.

Well there I was with some 100 people listening to the man talking and doing is latest work in the land of Scotland. Edinburgh is a wonderful town, old and worn. The seminar arranged by www.meta-nlp.co.uk was an introduction to NHR in 2 days. Anyone that has been to a Bandler seminar knows how he uses stories, examples and language to make things drop inside that skull that runs the bus. Well I was the last time In London at the Trainer Training (98) that he did with McKenna-Breen and he has evolved once again into new techniques and applications and has created and designed new wonderful ways of making changes. In the 2 years he has making it more simple and easier to make change and has in this seminar at least a different chunk size in his presuppositions and language of stories. I commented to my friend and colleague from Sweden that he does this a lot more smoothly than ever before and people was making a lot of learning and change easier and more comfortable than ever before.

What is the benefit from a seminar in NHR?

Bandler has taking a route that gets into the deep trance of making change and how to using the energy to transfer knowledge and skills in an effortless manner. Bandler is well known to install skills in an unconscious algorithm “all goes in rhythm” and to make people feel good for no reason at all. This seminar gets you into the states and how to use anchoring to make change before you ever get to feel bad. You will have the ability to make change in how you process memory and how you go around making behaviour shifts in your day-to-day life.

If we compare NHR to NLP and DHE.

NLP is to make observations of peoples behaviours building models and DHE is to build tools to make the brain have more fun. NHR is to make change using some principals from time, memory processing, feelings and language. I have with this found a way of making a very interesting change pattern in the Swedish language and since the skill in NHR is to use hypnosis, that is to use language to make change and your body. I could describe in detail what you get from that seminar but then again who would understand how to do it?
Not many and therefore if you like to get the skills to use your body to make change in yourself and others take an NHR training.

Bandler himself seems to get better and better in his health and have gained a few pounds again but seems to be healthier as it is at this moment. Paula his wife as he said he been married to for the last 27 years are getting better from a disease that was very dangerous for her. As there was some psychologist there, Bandler did some nice reframe on the “Sickman Fraud” and many don’t know that Fraud was one of the first ones that described energy between humans.

Face it, if you project bad or good feelings to someone then the person shouldn’t feel anything if not something was transferred to them, right?

And they do.

As Bandler put it language is communication and it is all hypnosis, this is how language works.

Many are talking what’s new in this NHR and what is new to DHE and the trick is to get people to feel good for no reason, if you have that skill then the rest follows with language.

To make this planet a better place go first and feel good and then figure out how to make others feel good. One skill we did learn was to notice a trance state and to induce trance states with our bodies and using that tool to shift the problems that the person had and make that change stick. Now when I was talking to one of the assistants she said that Bandler did put in the US in his NHR training the first day a practitioner training. Yes you did read it right, one day and practitioner skill format.

Nothing remarkable with that, using the skills of applying NLP for teaching it makes it easier to put more material together in a shorter time and at the same time get it more comfortable to learn to use the skills.

Now this isn’t done the conscious way even though he do give more conscious material nowadays than he have done before. Some people listen and hear what he says some don’t.

How could you pack more material in and get it practical?

When Richard did put up the 7-day practitioner course most people said that it wasn’t possible to do it in that few days. Today we could do the same amount in 1 day or so.

Now most peoples beliefs cant take that it is to fast and how do we learn that much in 1 day when we did use 20 days earlier?

It is all based in the new energy formats that Bandler has developed the last few years. In the NHR seminar he walked us trough acupuncture, religion, Cabbala, voodoo, remote viewing, and lot of other energy stuff. He didn’t say it was that, this is a review remember?

I personally have used skills learned from DHE to do a lot of bodywork and have tested in seminar formats to teach skills using formats from energy models. And all I can say is that it works and people can get the skills and use them fast.

Many new to his work do take notes and read them later, well the trick isn’t to write down in a Bandler seminar it is to experience the states, get the knowledge into the unconscious and up again and usable for the conscious mind to work with and that is very hard if taking notes.

Anyway the first day we did one exercise and he talked a lot about anchoring and installed how to do hypnosis with pattern interrupt with handshake. I did work with a guy that hadn’t done any hypnosis in his life (right ;) and he did it very well. The second day he did talk about the state you are in when doing hypnosis and change. Since this is an intro to NHR Bandler demonstrate more what he teaches and what you will have to do after a seminar like this, is to go out and practice a lot and test things out.

For instance he did show a psychologist how to make a change with some problem in 10 seconds. He didn’t tell her how he did it though ;)
Since the system that NLP works with is to know HOW to do something.

One more thing that happen was that a woman had been to a therapist to get her dreams analysed and since the therapist was going to analyse the dreams she needed to put them down on paper. The funny thing is that she was told from the therapist that she didn’t paint well enough so the dreams weren’t good enough for the therapist to analyse. Well this is the first time I have seen Bandler laughing is ass off in how stupid some therapist can be.

I personally have been seeing clients where they have been told that they have to live with their problems or that there isn’t anything to do about the problems they have. So know she had to go to an art school to learn how to paint before the therapist could analyse her dreams?

Silly very silly.

NHR is an adventure into how to make change using your body and energy to make change using the principals from time, memory, feelings, language with anchoring and state.

Its fun, easy and a new way of making faster than ever change.

It is also a journey of making beliefs fit where you want them.

The place was excellent and plenty of assistants to take care of any needs. A well-organized seminar from meta-nlp. It seems likely that Bandler will be back with a longer program in NHR.
