N
Neuro Neuro stands for the Nervous System, the bulk of which is contained in the brain, which together with the spinal cord, makes up the Central Nervous System or CNS. This is the major control ystem in the body. Information from the environment, internal and external, are processed by sensory nerves. On receiving these signals the brain sends signals to the body to perform the apropriate response as dictated by our memory processes.
The signals are sent to the peripheral nervous sytem to take action. The Autonomic Nervous System or ANS increases and decreases certain activities in the body in order to produce and direct the apropriate amount of energy to wherever it is needed. The energing processor is known as the Sympathetic branch of the ANS, while the recovery ot=r relaxation processor i known as the Parasympathetic branch of the ANS.
Neuro Linguistic Neuro Linguistic is about the way the nervous system processes our communicatication and how our nervous sytem processesNLP is the study of excellence, which describes how Programming the language of our mind produces our behaviour, and allows us to model excellence and to reproduce that excellent behaviour.
Neurological Drivers Primary, subjective distinctions that are directly hard wired to the nervous system.
Nominalisation A word used as a noun but was derived from a verb or process word. Not a tangible item. Can be a verb or another process word that has been formed into an abstract noun. The test for a nominalisation... can it be placed in a wheelbarrow? The Meta Model process is to convert the noun back into the verb from which it came.
O
Olfactory (O) The representational system dealing with smell.
Outcome Orientation Knowing what you are trying to acheive from this course of action. Having a specific, sensory-based, desired result for the client. Having an end and an aim in mind.
Overlapping Moving from one Representational System to another Representational System.
Overwhelm This where sensory input overloads the ability to consciously process the information and the conscoius awareness can close down.
P
Pacing Gaining and maintaining rapport with another person over a period of time by joining them in their model of the world by Matching or Mirroring their external behaviour.
Parts Parts are a portion of the unconscious mind, often having conflicting beliefs and values that are different from the whole of the system.
Parts Integration A technique, which allows us to integrate parts at the unconscious level by assisting each one to traverse logical levels by chunking up and to go beyond the boundaries of each to find a higher level of intention and wholeness.
Pattern Interrupt Changing a person's state. Can be abrupt. See Break State.
Perceptual Position Describes our point of view in a specific situation: First Position is our own point of view. Second Position is usually someone else's point of view. Third position is the point of view of a dissociated observer-much like an overview or meta-position.
Personal Edit See Self Edit.
Phobia A severe, associated, unwanted response of fear regarding some person or event in the past.
Phonological Ambiguity: This occurs when there are two words which sound the same but have different meanings.
Physiology of Excellence: The posture and physiology that we have when in a state of excellence. When somebody displays excellence in something they will have a particular set of phyiology that you can model and utilise it in yourself and others.
Post-Hypnotic Suggestion: A form of anchor that responds to a cue from a suggestion given while in a "hypnotic trance" and acted upon afterwards.
Precision Model Derived by John Grinder from the Meta Model as a series of five pointers to greater understanding.
Predicates A Predicate is any part of a sentence except the subject. In NLP a predicate nearly always refer to Sensory Predicates and occasionally Spatial or Temporal Predicates.
Preferred Rep System (See Primary Rep Sysatem)
Primary Rep System This is our dominant sensory Representational System, this can be Visual, Auditory, Kinaesthetic, Olfactory, Gustatory or Auditory Digital (Self talk). This has found it's way into the teaching proffesions as Learning Styles and we will have one that is stronger then the others. To find our Primary Rep system, listen to the sensory predicates that a person uses.
