simple refinement to a very basic NLP technique that can change everything
stay tuned in here with NLP gym and i'm here with Mark Andreas and we're going
to talk about aligning perceptual positions but before we do that if you

these videos on a regular basis
today's training was pretty awesome would you have about it yeah it went
great
yeah I was yesterday was so good i was like this was at the end is that is good
as it's going to get it i had my profound change and transformation or
was gonna continue today and i would have to say I was not disappointed
yeah and continue to get really strong and very powerful and I was so surprised
that something as simple as a lot aligning realigning perceptual positions
really made such a huge difference
yeah so for some participants that not to that was the most powerful part of
the training so far so what can you tell me about that or you know how did your
mother come about finding out those distinctions and how important they are
tell us more about your experience teaching that yeah so basically if you
have basic NLP training we know about the basic perceptual positions of myself
position or observer physician or taking other position setting in somebody
else's shoes and so with the lining perceptual positions we discover that
often when we think we're in one of those positions self position i'm not
actually fully accessing that experience that there's maybe some element of
association like a push my feelings off to the side or I'm not fully associated
into my experience of self and so the aligning process is about having a full
access to self position a full access to these other positions well yeah
absolutely and whatever I was doing it I was thinking you know this is not going
to really make a difference in this what I was working with what really surprised
me was that I had when I did that I wasn't surprised about the observer
position
when I went into the observer position which you're not supposed to be invested
in any other perceptual position you're more just detached in observing I wasn't
surprised that i still was feeling like I was partially and kind of getting
first musician and you said you made the analogy of like being one foot on the
dock and one foot on the boat and that's exactly how I felt so I wasn't getting
too much good information there so the alignment was very useful in that I
think the surprising thing for me was when I was in first position I didn't
think there was any alignment that was needed but then I realized that my voice
and the other person's voice was coming out of my chest and then whenever I put
the voice back in my voice back in my throat and mouth and the other person's
voice back in their throat and mouth it was suddenly like I I felt embodied and
I felt like the difficult feelings that I was dealing with that person suddenly
became my own but at the same time I was sort of big enough to be able to hold
those difficult feelings and it was ok yeah i was so profound to experience
that night going back to that metaphor you know if I have both my feet in a
boat that can be a useful position to be in if I've got both my food on land and
walk around and I kind of think if I got one foot in the boat one foot on land
it's an unstable position and often we find if we actually check in our
experience you know our experience of being in that observer is like work sort
of we're not really fully in that neutral place right and we're still kind
of getting hooked in and tucked into one side of the experience so we're not
really able to see it from that objective perspective and get all the
benefits of of the resources from that perspective
yeah and likewise from herself position or other position right edit it really
surprised me i did not expect that such a small refinement would seem like a
small refined small shift it just really made all the difference you know
so if you're not quite sure what we're talking about its win whatever position
you're taking whether that's your own position someone else's position or
observer position it's actually making sure that you're seeing from your own
eyes hearing from your actual years and if you're feeling something that is
coming from your body or that's coming from you and it's so funny because like
now that I think about it there were so many times where I've done this exercise
and yeah my I was seeing it from a different angle and not from actually
little my eyes are our was hearing things coming out of my body or hearing
things coming from a different direction and they're just kind of that's an
indication that something's not right or not aligned totally unless we ask these
questions mostly we don't notice it is unconscious you know experience but once
we ask these questions are a number of people in the training that go yeah I
thought it was looking from from my own eyes and the experience but when you ask
me the question i noticed that was actually as if i was perceiving the
situation a little bit off to the side from where i actually was or a few
people made some comments like that once we started attending to your experience
in this way and these finer distinctions you start noticing
oh it's not actually aligned as a line is I thought it was right even when
we're experiencing life like I'm standing here now and I'm obviously
don't like a first position if sometimes we do sort of skew the are I cider or
change we're hearing from and I think we maybe we do that because we're not
completely invested in right now we're not completely present or maybe we're
experiencing something we don't exactly like so we sort of halfway disassociate
yeah because right after we did that I felt like showing my body and I felt
show president actually felt kind of like a flow state
yeah well that's a great place to leave it i think that that you know it's a
whole different angle of getting to this place real presence
you know in the body kind of experience vice versa coming really an objective
observer and being able to be cleanly and each of those positions wonderful
workshop quarter information it's been really incredible we just got rewrap the
second day today we got one more day to go and I'm thinking it might get I've
already got my money's worth at this point i got my money's worth in the
first day so this goes any deeper and there's even more to this and I don't
know it's gonna blow my mind why it's already blocked from tomorrow's a big
way so we'll see what happens
