Body NLP fuses more than 5 processes including Feldenkrais body work, muscle strengthening, energy work, massage, Neuro Linguistic Programming and Movement Sensing Training. It has been developed from a sound understanding of the anatomy, physiology and movement theories of the soma, in combination with the programming and language pattern theories of NLP. The three applications of Body NLP are preventive, therapeutic, & performance

1. Preventive

When we stand, walk, and interact with others, and ourself, we give clues to our relationship with the World. Our movement behaviour reflects our emotional state, and our identity. During childhood and beyond, humans move through life transferring from exploring to existing in a self created pattern. We live in World's of our own making. The potentially, easy, free, flexible, organic, creative explorations of childhood, can soon give way to fixed ideas, and rigid mechanical action as folk conform to society. Habituation while useful, can in later life manifest as dysfunction, causing breakdown in either body or mind. In the body this can manifest as ill health, disease and pain. In the mind we can feel anxious, depressed, confused, unhappy. Body NLP can be used preventively to intervene revealing potential areas of breakdown through rediscovering, retraining, and coaching individuality and creativity. Through subtle movement sequences, positioning, massage, and energy work the body can be kept healthy.

If breakdown, or damage has begun to develop within our behaviour, it is imperative to take action to prevent long term pain, and reduction of function. However, change takes time, awareness and commitment. Reflex activity is fast, awareness needs us to slow down. We need to understand our core habits, because habits tend to recur. Habits are easy, and safe. We have powerful reason to hold on to a habits. New skills have to be exercised regularly to keep them fresh. Degeneration and breakdown are caused through a combination of poor integration, and lack of resiliance. Soft tissues are not designed for long term stresses, we have bone tissue for load bearing. Poor loading of bone in combination with habitual movement faults leads to wear and tear. Poor emotional loading to physical or emotional disruption. Body NLP movement sensing classes and 1:1 bodywork combined with NLP approaches train more healthy patterns often long forgotten. Time spent in regenerative processes, learning to give and receive through massage, to express outself through art and flow.

To function as a victim of life, just bumping from day to day, is existence. Simply sitting on the riverbank of life watching it pass by, feeling as if its happening to you. To know where we want to go, and explore how to achieve our goals, is performance. You may have to change, and learn to model, discover the dedication and values you need to develop as a winner. You may need to explore your identity, beliefs, values, and how these changes will impact on others. Sometimes our past, can get in the way. Often the very harder we strive the more difficult the elusive obvious becomes. Body NLP helps break down the barriers which appear to make life impossible. By rediscovering our somatic self we can rediscover our soul. We can chose to perform authentically. Body NLP can be used in industry, the corporate sector, andon a personal level to develop our own performance individually and within the team.
