These free NLP techniques provide the foundation for working with other people using NLP or Hypnosis. As in many areas of life, practice makes perfect.

Eventually you will find that you are able to use these techniques automatically.
NLP Modeling, whilst at the heart of NLP, seems to be a skill that many NLP practitioners don’t really have a good grasp of.
Sensory acuity is probably the most impressive skill to demonstrate and is a skill that is central to NLP.
Language Patterns are central to working with clients and for all NLP persuasion techniques.
Use the five senses to improve the effect of your communications and increase your rapport.

In NLP, Eye Accessing cues are one of the more controversial subjects - simply because for every NLP practitioner who believes they are a useful tool, there is someone who doesn't believe they work at all.
Anchoring is the most powerful way to control someones state. Learn various techniques to build and anchor powerful states.
Rapport is simply about increasing the number of similarities between yourself and a client to allow them to relax and feel that you are like them. So how do you achieve this?
To get to the heart of any problem you have to ask the right questions - the Meta Model gives you the structure to achieve this.
The Milton Model is the basis for most of the NLP Language patterns. I complied the following articles using my notes from McKenna Breens NLP Practitioner and NLP Master Practitioner courses. These NLP language patterns will provide the foundation for all your hypnotic language skills.
Richard Bandler's method of teaching these language patterns is a mixture of installation and writing out pages of examples. Work with these patterns every day and they become an automatic part of your natural language.
The Milton Model is often considered to be the opposite of the meta-model. This is because the meta-model is designed to take a clients vague language and ask questions to move to a more concrete description and move the client towards a solution, whereas the milton model is based around using vague language to enhance the hypnotic process.
Nominalizations, Unspecified Verbs, Unspecified Referential Indexes and Deletions
Linkage / Casual Modeling, Lost Performatives and Mind Reading

Beliefs underlay many issues that people have. To attempt to resolve an issue such as social phobia or motivation without dealing with the beliefs related to that problem is foolhardy. The following NLP exercises can be used when dealing with any issue to create the right belief structure before working on the issue directly. By destroying any limiting beliefs and generating a few positive ones, many issues will be much easier to resolve.
Create new beliefs to generate more options and greater flexibility in your life.
Take the negative beliefs you hold about yourself and destroy them.
It's important to understand these exercises before working through them. Most of these exercises are based upon submodalities and build on the areas covered in the NLP Submodalities - Change your Reality Lesson.
