I often get asked why I teach time line therapy®, hypnosis, and NLP certification trainings together. Can't I just do one? Is one sufficient? Is there additional benefit to doing them all? The answer to all these questions is yes. Let me first break down the relationship between hypnosis, NLP, and Time Line therapy®.

One could say that the origins of all three of these transformational disciplines began with trance work (now known as hypnosis). Hypnosis as been around since the days of early Egyptians. People used many methods for inducing trance (or mesmerism) including drumming, chanting, various musical instruments, and even slow, intentional hand movements. Trance, which has been called many things over the millennia, is simply a deep state of relaxation, with focused state of concentration which allows an increased state of awareness. From this state many things are possible. For example, many use this state to gain deeper connection with themselves, to travel to deeper levels of consciousness, and to gain new insights into their own feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and experiences. You may have heard of Transcendental Meditation. This is inducing a trance in oneself. Hypnosis is simply another relatively structured way to achieve this trance state usually assisted by a trained professional and utilized for therapy and healing in most cases. There are many styles and methodologies to hypnosis, and while with meditation and self-hypnosis, it could take weeks to months to transform oneself, the highly trained hypnotherapist can help their client create powerful change in just a few sessions.

Now, let's talk about NLP. NLP (which stands for neurolinguistic programming) is the study of how language impacts our brain… what we think, feel and do… and how that influences our behaviors. NLP takes the theoretical research of linguistics, cognitive and behavioral science, neuropsychology, neuroscience, and the psychology of language and teaches practical effective techniques and tools on how to apply theory into daily application in all areas of life. Additionally, some of its techniques evolved out of and incorporate the use of hypnotic language patterns to affect deeper and longer-lasting change in a person. This is the reason Neurolinguistic programming is so effective. It's also why it is so difficult to study itself in research because much of the techniques come from applying the combined research of multiple disciplines that surround an aspect of the brain with which we have not developed the technology to measure effectively consistently (like specific thoughts linked to behavior).

 Ever since I launched the Mind Re-Mapping Academy, people have been asking me what exactly is mind remapping.

When I talk about mind remapping, I mean reprogramming our minds from the root (from the unconscious level) to be in its more empowering state. It's about getting to the source of our thoughts, feelings, and actions. All of this is based on NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), which is a set of processes and tools to change and nourish the mindset.

What's important to understand is that in the way our mind works, there's something underneath the evident, and that's the unconscious mind which is the one that truly runs our body, everyday actions, and decisions. The unconscious mind is full of things and images we've picked up over the years and don't even realize. We start from childhood and pile on various evidence, while our conscious mind focuses only in the present. The downside is that we take decisions conditioned by what the unconscious mind tells us.
