NLP will not get you much….If you have an money, buy a vowel before you spin again.

Never heard of NLP.
Hypnotism - yes they use it for mesmerizing people.

Potential is unlimited - could have the power to take over the world.

Neurolinguisting programming is all about changing your internal talk and your behavior. What it can do…the potential is enormous. From simply taking a phobia out of your mind in just 10 minutes to changing one's life in a substantial way, changing a poor man into a millionaire… all by using neurolinguistic programming.

Will share with you two experiences I came across while I was doing a course in NLP. One of the participants had a traumatic event in his life - his only brother was brutally murdered by antisocial gang. He always looked sad and not engaging in relationships. Any memory of this incident would shake his mind even after years of his brother's death. At the NLP course, he was guided to "walk through" the experience again and was made desensitized to that event in just half an hour! After that exercise, he could talk about the incident to others but not have that bad feelings that he had - of anger, sadness, and helplessness. Another experience shared by one of our course guides: He was a school teacher at the time he did the NLP course himself. He was finding it hard to make ends meet with his meagre income. One of the exercises in that course included writing down all our assets and dreams. The dreams he wrote were a house of his own and a costly car. After 4 years when he talked to us, he had a home of his own and he owned a costly car, both of which he could not even dream of 4 years ago.

I am just giving you examples of what NLP can do. It has to do with behaviour modification and living life to its full potential.

It is related to hypnotism in the sense that we use an altered state of consciousnes to get in touch with and communicate with our subconscious. This is not in the sense of the general idea of hypnotism done in a clinical setting. The theories and practice of NLP are simple and easy to understand for ordinary people. If you get trained you can use it for your own good, and you can use it to help others. The best way to learn NLP is to get in touch with a group in your city. Training sessions (10/20/30 -day) are happening across the world by renouned practitioners of NLP. Be sure you learn it from a senior practitioner and not from novices.
