Three Things You Should Know About NLP

Creation of the Birds. Remedios Varo. 1953NLP is not

WHAT

you think

it’s HOW

you think!



  • There are those who have never heard of it.
  • There are those who tell me they haven’t heard of it for years, probably because so much of it has been integrated into other modalities, and it is now taken for granted, or otherwise invisible. Anchoring is an example of this.
  • There are those who imagine that it is only used by unscrupulous scam artists and sales people.
  • There are those who are confused about it because they have been taught that all deep seated problems can only be addressed by long term therapy or years on a meditation cushion.
  • There are those who have used it to help them with previously insoluble problems and now think that NLP is pure magic.
  • There are those who utilize elements of it daily so that it becomes an ongoing journey of personal discovery toward excellence and delight.

Imagination Awake!


Caitriona Reed and Michele Benzamin-MikiReplay of Imagination Awake Teleseminar

Transforming everything from the ground up – by eradicationg limiting beliefs, decisions,and negative habits and emotions.

Remember the story of the man who traveled the world seeking his fortune, which he finally discovered hidden behind his own hearth?

Or the story of the prisoner who treated the key to his cell as a holy object rather than testing it the door to his cell?

Stories give meaning to your life. How many are keeping you from living your passion and dream, and how many could support you?

Imagine! NLP Alchemy

NLP Certification TrainingImagine choosing, designing, and recreating your life as if it were a work of art and you were a master artist.

Imagine choosing:

  • how you want to communicate with others,
  • how you want to BE with other people,
  • how you want to feel about your day, your life, your self ..

all of it based on your own highest vision and values!

So that you’re not at the mercy of old stories, old tapes, stale reactions and emotions and self-defeating cynicism or fear ..  Is that too much to ask?

One of our FAVORITE things to do in the whole wide world, right up there along with

  • making art,
  • making food,
  • making love,
  • traveling,
  • spending time with loved ones,

is teaching our fourteen day NLP training intensives at Manzanita Village.

Truly!

“NLP” – might sound daunting technical, or downright weird but it has revolutionized everything we ever knew, (or thought we knew) enhancing our work as spiritual teachers, artists, hypnotherapists and above all simply as human beings.

What we’re saying is that this can be the foundation of your own work

  • with clients,
  • students
  • employees,
  • colleagues,
  • or anyone in your life

to utterly transform old patterns and limitations.

More importantly, it can be the key to YOU fully LIVING into your own highest vision and values!

It’s like FINALLY getting the users’ manual to your own life, your own brain, your own neurology.

I am describing this work as if it were a “something.” In fact it’s more like an attitude, supported by some very specific tools and skills. (about a hundred and forty of them) that we pack into two very int ensive weeks. These are tools that will allow you to run circles around most conventional coaching, consulting, and personal development work!

What you DON’T have to do:

  • You DO NOT have to take on a new belief system for this, except perhaps that you may realize that you are capable of a whole lot more than you once thought. (So you may just have to let go of some old limited beliefs about yourself)
  • You do not have to do, or be someone else, or give up what brings you most joy, unless on this journey to ever greater choice you discover possibilities for even deeper fulfillment and happiness.
  • You do not have to take on jargon although you may learn new ideas, new words, new possibilities, and an amazing new ability to get out of your own way at last!

This training is a BIG COMMITMENT (it’s fourteen days!) and although we have kept the cost very low and included food and accommodation in the price we realize it may take some consideration on your part.

So call and let us answer any questions you may have. 760-782-9223

We also have a special offer through the end of December

On Creativity and Fear

Introductory Remarks and Opening Exercise from a workshop by Michele Benzamin-Miki

What are you most afraid of? Loss? Disappointment? Rejection?
Being alone? Appearing foolish? Being misunderstood?

Fear shows up as anxiety, apprehension, panic, dread, worry, even depression. Sometime people get so used to it they forget it’s running everything they do.

Fear is also a messenger.
It tells you what you imagine you’re afraid of,
AND what you CAN DO when you’re not.

Mindfulness and Clearly Defined Outcomes

two kids on a fence.. if you don’t have a destination or a goal how will you ever arrive there? And, if you are so focused on your goals that you forget where you are, how will you know where to begin? To pursue your dreams, and to live fully in the present, that is the key ..

Telling Stories, Telling Lies

We learn through stories. Even hard facts must be transformed into metaphors, images, and stories for us to remember them. Children love stories because that’s how they learn to be in the world. We all love stories because of the new

There are two kinds of stories: stories that limit us, and stories that expand the boundaries of what we imagine is possible. Possibilities must be imagined before they can be realized. Possibilities come to us first as stories. Limitations are negative possibilities, and are imagined in the same way.possibilities they present to us.
