I'd be really interested to know about specific processes, which seem to be lacking in Steve's postings on beliefs. So, for example, when he talks about discovering your purpose, he provides a couple of specific exercises (including the well-known one about writing things down until one makes you cry).
What are some specific exercises people are using to install beliefs - for example, the belief that the Law of Attraction works? |
Hi
this is a very interesting question. There is a specific way to change beliefs using an NLP technique. Steve mentions in an article that he uses an NLP technique for belief change. In Richard Bandler's book "Using Your Brain For a Change" you can see a specific technique there. The pre-requisite is that you need to understand submodalities. It's not hard and contrary to what some people believe about changing beliefs...it works best if it's rapid! As Richard Bandler said brains learn quickly, they don't learn slowly. The NLP method is fast because it doesn't involve the long fight of trying to "argue the case" to alter the content of your belief. Trying to convince yourself into or out of things is slow. The NLP approach is more subtle than that - it involves altering the internal representations of the belief, the "machine code" brain representation, if you will. You invoke a picture of *how* the brain stores the belief and alter those parameters (ie sensory submodalities) instead. Leave aside the question of *what* the brain is storing and deal with the *how* for rapid results. The book is well worth a read.
