Maybe the smell of freshly baked bread?
Or the sound of your mother’s voice?
Perhaps the sight of old friends?

Sometimes things happen that trigger us into feeling good – or even great. Yet sometimes things happen that “make us” feel bad. While it is great for us to take responsibility for how we feel it still affects us in our everyday life, doesn’t it?

While those things that happen to us (those sights, sounds and feelings – we call them “anchors” in NLP) might continue to impact us, you can learn how that happens, and to use that process to your advantage.

Join us for an evening with Master Practitioner of NLP Mikko Lehtinen, and explore how anchors are a natural way for our brains to work. Then you might be able to setup your anchors so you are triggered into feeling good more and more often, and maybe to experiment with collapsing some old anchors that have been getting in your way

Anchoring with Mikko Lehtinen
Friday, 4 May, from 7pm in Central Shanghai

What comes to mind when you think about “broccoli”?

A green vegetable? Healthy eating? Maybe one time that your mother forced you to eat it before leaving the table? Nothing at all?

When I discovered that broccoli is one of the healthiest vegetables we can eat, I had a problem: I didn’t like it! As one comedian phrased it, “Broccoli’s a side dish, folks. Always was, always will be, OK!”

I wanted to like broccoli. To crave it the way that I craved chocolate. But there just didn’t seem to be any way to change it. Until I discovered submodalities.

Through exploring submodalities, I discovered that the way that I thought of broccoli was very different from the way I thought of chocolate. And that by changing those submodalities, I could change the way I felt… so much so that I came to love broccoli, and still do today!

What are submodalities? I’m glad you asked! Submodalities are the attributes of our internal representations. If you could imagine an imagine, maybe of someone or something you like, you might notice: Is the imagine in colour? Is the image straight ahead or off to the side? How large is the image?

Beyond broccoli, I used submodalities to change how much sugar I wanted to have in my coffee. How I felt about memories. Even how I felt about people – just imagine if the person that used to annoy you and get in your way could suddenly be someone you felt neutral about? With submodalities, I helped a young woman put traumatic experiences and painful memories into the past instead where they belong, instead of continually getting in the way.

With submodalities, you can powerfully and directly change how you think and feel about almost anything. They’ve been around since the early days of NLP, with Richard Bandler being particularly well-known for using them.

We are going to explore how submodalities affect us, and some simple ways that you can change use them to create changes immediately.

Monday 22 August from 7pm in Central Shanghai

Wednesday, 23 March, from 7pm at 13 Factories, Guangzhou.

Following the success of the session in December “Asking Powerful Questions” we will dig a little deeper this month by looking into what happens when we communicate. We will explore the process that takes the information we want to share and the results we actually create, looking specifically at what is communication and what are some of the steps we can take to start improving our communication immediately.

This session will be presented by the China NLP Society South China Organizer John Dorris.

Valentine’s Day is a ritual of romance. An opportunity each year for lovers – and lovers-to-be – to appreciate each other and the relationship that they share.

Relationships are the theme for this session of China NLP. Join experienced NLP Trainer, Daniel Smith, as we explore how NLP can enrich and expand our relationships, particularly with respect to:

• Rituals: How we can use existing traditions (like Valentine’s Day) to make our relationships better, and how we can create new ones so that we can anchor each other to wonderful feelings.
• Framing: What is a relationship for? Is it for security? Is it for fun? Is it for a feeling of success? By becoming more clear about the purpose of a relationship or conversation you can become more congruent and aligned in your daily actions.
• Love strategies: What needs to happen for you to feel loved? For some people it might be a special few words, though for someone else, words might mean nothing. But we can learn about our own love strategies and those of our loved ones, so that we can feel more love,  more often.
