if that sounds good make sure you click that subscribe button right down here so
that you can get these videos on a regular basis I've been learning NLP for
the past seven years and I've immersed myself into it and then that time have
become an NLP teacher and an NLP coach what I've discovered is that there are
two models that really stand out in particular by the end of this video
you're going to know what I believe are the two most important NLP models now
I'm not suggesting that you only study these models these two models and no
other NLP models but you might want to focus on those these two particular
models put your attention on them make sure you don't overlook them also if
you're interested in some free training on one of these models that I'm going to
talk about you will find a link in the description below also in in the
comments to the to the top and I'll be doing this training in three parts next
week so you'll want to make sure you get in on this reserve your spot and I'll
talk a little bit more about this later in the video first of all I think is
really important to explain that NLP itself is a model a lot of people say
well what is NLP and I've answered that question in so many different ways but
one way to answer that question is that NLP is a model NOP is a model for
modeling or a model for learning but I like to still think of it as modeling
because a lot of time when a lot of times when people think of learning that
they think of memorization or just sitting in a classroom and NOP is not
that NLP is about the practical application and really practicing things
and so with NLP first started out as was a way to model how people do anything
but more specifically how does someone do something very
well how is it that two people who pretty much do the same thing for a
number of years maybe even use the same method don't have the same results one
person is much more successful than the other
well that points the direction internally what's going on inside of a
person what are they focusing on what are their thoughts how are those
thoughts structured this is where NLP was born in this idea of well what
really it makes the difference what really is the difference that makes a
difference is probably something internal and we can go in there sort it
so to speak and figure out what that is we experience life subjectively not ever
not no two people to experience life the same way so what NLP is it's about
understanding how we are creating that subjectivity within ourselves how are we
creating our unique experience and we can focus that even more on okay well if
somebody's successful or somebody's happy then how are they having that
unique subjective experience most of the techniques and processes that you find
in NLP were taken from models that were created so people wanted to figure out
how to be more persuasive how to be more influential how to build rapport quickly
they found a person who did these things well and then they modelled them how do
we how do we work through some of the hardest problems that we have there how
do we work through our limitations so the founders of NLP found therapists who
were really really good at doing that and then they created a model around it
so to summarize NOP is a model for modeling and over the course of years
that NLP was being developed they created techniques and processes
from these models and started teaching these techniques and these processes but
really the truth is is that that's not it NOP it's not not NLP it's just that
that's not what NLP is really all about and Opia is really all about modeling as
I mentioned I'm going to give you what I feel is the two most important and LP
models and I'll tell you why I believe that the first one is the metamodel
the meta model was the first NLP model ever created and it's a language based
model so why is it so important to learn the
metamodel especially if you want to really understand NLP and you want to
become really good at NLP basically the answers are in the metamodel it's a very
much overlooked model because it's the oldest and it's not a very sexy model
because it's a language based model and most NLP students they just gloss over
it a lot of times in an LP and an NLP practitioner training where the
metamodel is usually taught they spend maybe not even a whole day on that model
and so most people don't understand much about it they don't really know how to
practice it so they feel like okay well I've got it I learned the metamodel I
learned it in this training and I have a certification to prove it so therefore I
know it but know if you can use the metal model effectively and what I mean
effectively I mean on yourself and on others that's really the standard for
NLP are you effective using NLP on yourself and on others that's how you
know that you really have it words are an expression of how you think and
they're also a code of how you think so understanding your words and how your
coding your thoughts and coding your feelings encoding your your beliefs is
really really important to understanding them and then from understanding them
being able to free them so you want to free your thinking you want to free your
beliefs you want to free yourself from problems which are normally created in
thinking and that's what the metamodel does it does it by recognition of
language patterns and then once you recognize the language pattern you'll
have a way of you'll know how to challenge those patterns and when you
challenge those patterns you have to go deeper into yourself to access the
sensory based information that you've become disconnected from because the
language can do that we can stop accessing what the words literally mean
and get caught up in the concepts of the words and when that happens that's where
the traps are when you use the meta model it forces you to go deeper back
and can recapture that connection with sensory based information and it grounds
you it opens census in your eyes - what's actually
happening and what are the actual resources and solutions you have
available to you it holds the core of what NLP is all
about which is distortion deletion and generalization this is how we filter the
information we're receiving from the world around us this is how we're
representing or representing it internally and you can go really deep
with this model so if you only practice it once or you've only practiced it for
a week you're gonna need to do more than that
go much much deeper with it and your understanding of NLP will grow along
with this so a lot of people think well if I'm putting all this time and
attention on the metamodel I'm not learning these other things that I'd
like to be learning well you will learn those other things so much better when
you go deep with the mental model so hidden in the mental model and I only
say hidden because most people miss it I don't think it's really hidden it's
actually in plain sight but hidden in the mental model is the key to NLP the
next model I'm going to talk about is what I would call the key to life and
that is the self-concept model created by Steve andreas my mentor of many years
before he passed away the self-concept model is basically a model of how we
create our sense of self you can call that the ego you can call that my
self-image whatever you want it's also explains why self-esteem is so
mysterious and confidence is so mysterious like it seems to come and go
I'm not gonna get into the explanation of that right now because it's a it's an
in-depth explanation and actually this is the model that I'll be doing the free
training on next week so if you are interested in learning a lot more about
this model and and understanding those deeper explanations that I'm I'm itting
from this video you will want to get in on that training like I said the link is
right down here in the description below the self concept model when I
encountered it was something that I didn't know that I was looking for but
it was what I was looking for I was asking my teachers a lot of questions
and I wasn't getting satisfactory answers and then when I met Steve
andreas I asked him all the same questions and he goes oh
well I think this is what you want to know and it just so happened to change
my life and then became my life's work in my focus because it is so amazingly
powerful what you project around you when you think about the life that
you're living the world that you're living in whatever you think of as
reality it is a projection coming from yourself there is no way that that is
not happening and because that is happening it is your sense of self that
dictates the world you live in the reality that you're living the meaning
you make of it when you're able to go in there and make changes to your
self-concept this changes everything now the self-concept model is a little
bit more advanced but the great thing about it is you don't actually have to
know NLP in order to understand it now if you know NLP already and you practice
NLP already you'll have definitely of a leg up I mean it'll you already speak
the language so to speak it'll be a lot easier but you don't actually need to
know NLP in order to access this model and make it work and a lot of you will
think that it's complicated but it's actually not it's detailed there are a
lot of details to the model because we are complex people but I don't actually
think it's complicated I've been able to teach this model to people who had no
NLP background and they've been able to put it to good use right away and get
really effective results so those are the two models regardless if you're an
NLP beginner or you're NLP intermediate or advanced I highly recommend putting
your attention on these models I went back and studied the metamodel several
times even after years of doing NLP training and feeling like I really had
the model down I would go back and revisit it so wherever you are in your
NLP journey definitely put a lot of attention on the meta model and then
bring your attention to the self-concept model you will be happy you did it like
I said you don't need NLP training to to get it but it was amazing whenever I
encountered it because I already had a lot of NLP training I already knew NLP
very well but what I didn't understand is how Inoki really worked I understood
how to get results I understood how to be effective at it
I understood how to make it work for when I was using it on myself and how to
make it work well when I was using it with other people but I didn't quite
understand it and learning self concept was like sort of like ripping the roof
off the top of NLP and just looking downing into it and realizing oh okay I
get it now I understand how all of this works so it's those models are those
models really really well in practicing them and going deep with them will
absolutely change your life so if you're ready to take the self-concept model
even deeper make sure you sign up for that free training like I said if going
on next week depending on when you're watching this video it may I've already
