Finding your purpose and discovering real meaning to your existence is not for everyone. Yet it is a question more and more people who want to live meaningfully and follow their bliss are asking.

In his very famous and moving book ‘Man’s Search For Meaning’ Viktor Frankl discussed how he found meaning in life while in a prison camp in World War 2. Finding real meaning and purpose in your life, your relationships and work is really the pathway to bliss. it is not always so easy, it does take work and dedication.

Here is a short message from the Dalai Lama on finding purpose and meaning in your life. Compassion and warm heartedness are key aspects. I also add being true to yourself and acknowledging the most painful and beautiful truths.

Recently the NHS has announced that over 100 staff are likely to be made redundant in yet another exercise in job, staffing and service cuts. All of the redundancies are being said to be voluntary. A very similar offer was made towards the end of the 1980’s when a market crash, an old oil war scuffle and a trade bubble burst.

The people that took the offer of a ‘golden handshake’ were the people who thrived on change and took the opportunity to do something different with their lives. The people who stayed behind were the people who sought security, the least creative and the people that companies really could do without.

The concept is to balance the internal and external worlds so that neither one dominates so in equal measures a person leads a harmonious and balanced life. Think about this as doing some thinking as well as taking some exercise. Pretty simple right!

It can be …

It is simple, this is Yoga! Yoga IS a spiritual practice. Meditations to exercise the Mind as well as Physical activities to exercise the body.

Remember one of the so called operational Presuppositions of NLP is ‘Mind and Body Are One System’.

The seeming majority of NLP trainings will tend Strongly to works with mental and cognitive Elements of change yet not pay enough attention Towards the physical development aspects of change.

Yet this still is only half the story. This is about much more than learning mental and physical controls and Disciplines. This is about what happens to a persons Psyche as a function of having the ability to run the Brain and Body in unaccustomed and new ways.

Practically all current NLP training tends not to acknowledge let alone develop any aspects of Practitioners honest spiritual exploration and growth.

Clearly this was not always the case. Both Bandler and Grinder were hugely influenced By the work of the Mystic Carlos Castaneda. They Did in my opinion attempt to integrate spiritual Disciplines and practice in the early NLP trainings. Looking at the co-creators now there is to me clearly a very strong bias on the internal worlds from Bandler and a very stron bias from Grinder on the external experiences.

Now like UK schools, many ’spiritual’ concepts have Been forgotten, swept under the carpet or Let go in some attempt to gain credibility, get recognition appease governments, seduce would be practitioners, Create ‘professional’ bodies, tap into management Institutes or educational institutions.

The ongoing and current NLP Evolution, I believe Will see an emphasis on honest spiritual development For NLP Practitioners, and just as much a moving away From the ‘trendy’ tic box, academically accredited Nonsense for NLP Practitioner certification that surely Will do to to real NLP education what the GCSE system and bureaucratic government did to hopes of serious Creativity and independent thinking practice.

NLP, like spiritual practice is not for everyone Yet those who do choose to practice NLP in earnest Will surely benefit from additional spiritual practice Intended to balance the psyche as a result of having The ability to run the Brain and Body in new and unaccustomed ways. NLP Evolution … … …

Over the past two weekends I have had the pleasure of signing the qualification certificates for two groups of NLP Practitioners and one group of NLP Master Practitioners here in Newcastle. The final day includes a presentation from the students that sums up their experiences and learnings over the past ten month NLP Practitioner or the past six month NLP Master Practitioner and NLP Practitioner.

The form of the presentation to demonstrate their NLP learnings and experiences is up to the presenters. I have been absolutely delighted with the effort, work and sheer skill that goes into these presentation and applaud the exquisite use of humour.

One NLP Practitioner group gave me this certificate.

Heartfelt thanks you all!

Two important developments in Newcastle Hypnosis Study and Practice Group for this coming June.

First the topic and second the June date.

The topic for explorations and practice is Thought Provoking Dialogue. Thought Provoking Dialogue is the creation of Phil Jeremiah who recently ran an excellent two day Thought Provoking Dialogue workshop in Newcastle, sponsored by Nigel Hetherington. Thought Provoking Dialogue according to research is incredibly effective, fun, caring and totally client focused.

Phil studied extensively with Frank Farrelly the creator of provocative therapy and Phil has updated this approach for the 21st Century. Thought Provoking Dialogue is the latest cutting edge development in the use of humour in coaching, therapy, mentoring and helping people make positive changes in their lives.

The practice evening will include demonstrations and plenty of practice time, focusing on specific Thought Provoking Dialogue patterns

We normally meet on the first Wednesday of the month. This June, The Trance Cafe will be on the 24th June which is the last Thursday of the month. This is because I am running a Hypnotherapy Diploma training in Alaska at the start of the June.

Guilt can be one of the most disabling and crippling emotions a human being can feel.

The feeling of Guilt is related to a persons actions or inactions and is primarily about values and how they are transgressed. Guilt is about your own values and can be public or private knowledge.

It is interesting that most people who are experiencing guilt are acknowledging certain values yet the question here is who’s values have been transgressed? Are they honestly your own values or are they ones you have accumulated from society, your parents or what you think you should do?

When a person experiences Guilt, there is a very strong likely hood that an even higher level value, often unconscious, has been honoured and the feeling of Guilt comes from more conscious values. Guilt can honestly serve as a sign post, a marker of how to respond differently in the future when there are similar circumstances as to the experience that created the feeling of Guilt.

There is a story from the current Dalia Lama about when he once told an old monk that was desiring to embark on some higher level esoteric practice and he remarked casually that it would be difficult and perhaps would be better undertaken by someone younger perhaps in the mid teens. What transpired was that old monk committed suicide to start again in another life. Can you imagine the ‘Guilt’ that came from this casual comment ‘resulting’ in a suicide? How do you go about transforming such a feeling and moving onwards with a real life?

This Trance Cafe is a methodology for transforming Guilt into a learning and way of being in the future.

NLP : Breaking The Chains And Then On To Freedom

NLP has been know as “The New Technology Of Achievement.” So why is it that many NLP Practitioners and Master Practitioners are still often a bit unhappy or not living their dreams fully?

This months practice group will be an exploration into remembering and realising the kinds of experiences that are really worth while and important to you. This will be done with due regard to personal and general ecology … and … at the same time … an invitation to re-discover the parts of you that can dare to dream.

All of the really successful people I know have two things in common – no matter what they say these days.

They are dreamers, they have created and are living their dream through dreaming and work … and quite often hard work.

“Its Kind of Fun To Do The Impossible” – Walt Disney

“Those Who Do Not Dare To Dream, Sleep Most Of The Day” – Loesje

An evening of practice and experience that is ideal for therapists, coaches and people helpers who want new tools and techniques that are guaranteed to work to change lives.

At the NLP Cafe on February 17th in St Oswald’s Teaching Centre, Gosforth, Nigel Hetherington will be exploring how applied NLP can help you dissolve the attitudes, beliefs and conditioning that stops most people having the experiences that they really want. And more importantly to stop worrying about failure and what other people think and concentrate on what you really, really want.
