FAQ

Ener­getic NLP is a syn­thesis of NLP and sev­eral ener­getic sys­tems. It uses the core con­cepts and pre­sup­po­si­tions of NLP and applies them to ener­getic work. It is a dance: some­times you may be mostly doing NLP, some­times mostly ener­getic work. But your ener­getic work is always influ­enced by a the con­cepts of NLP; and your NLP work is influ­enced by ener­getic prin­ci­ples.
For example: most energy sys­tems try to teach you their ver­sion of “The Truth.” They tell you, “This is how it is.” In Ener­getic NLP we say, just as in NLP, that these are models of reality, not “The Truth.” This keeps you from being locked into the lim­i­ta­tions of any one system. This allows you keep learning, growing, and devel­oping.

Physi­cists say that energy is the very fabric of every­thing in the uni­verse, that is part of the basic struc­ture of every­thing. Einstein’s famous equa­tion, E=mc² demon­strated that matter and energy were inter­change­able. Energy forms the basic building blocks of all we know, whether it is as phys­ical as steel or as ethe­real as an emo­tion or a belief. It is in every­thing, including our bodies and spirit. Energy is best under­stood by expe­ri­encing and exploring it, not by putting it into words.

It was written about as long as 5000 years ago. At least 97 cul­tures have 97 dif­ferent words for the human energy field. The con­cept is found not only in the Eastern reli­gions such as Hin­duism and Bud­dhism; but in Chris­tianity and Judaism as well.  It is the basis of acupunc­ture and many of the mar­tial arts. Reli­gious paint­ings from many cul­tures depicted saints with halos of light around their heads.

It’s very likely that they are absorbing your energy.  Many of us uncon­sciously give nur­turing energy to our clients, friends, family, and loved ones.  The problem is that it depletes us.  You lose access to your own energy.
In Ener­getic NLP you learn to how to retrieve your energy from them, and replace it with uni­versal energies.

It is not nec­es­sary to be an NLP Prac­ti­tioner to attend this pro­gramme, and a knowl­edge of NLP will accel­erate your learning.

Back in 1983, I started studying both NLP and ener­getic sys­tems. At first I used them sep­a­rately — in fact, I thought it was “cheating” to use ener­getic tech­niques to aug­ment my NLP work. In late 1984, I started to inte­grate the two systems.

Some ener­gies are like food: they can be digested and used by you. The energy of another human being, on the other hand, is indi­vid­u­al­ized to the person it came from.
When someone receives a heart trans­plant, they need to take very, very strong drugs to over­come the dif­fer­ences between their body and the other person\‘s body. Their own body’s nat­ural reac­tion is to do battle with some­thing that was orig­i­nally part of another person. In the same way, other people’s ener­gies in your energy field will battle with your nat­ural ener­gies. They cause prob­lems that you can’t solve, because they are the other person’s prob­lems. All of us take on energy from our par­ents, loved ones, and other family mem­bers. Many of us, espe­cially people in the helping pro­fes­sions, tend to take on energy from our clients and even from strangers.
It doesn\‘t mean the energy is “bad” (it is helpful to not judge it) it just means their energy doesn’t agree with you.

Yes, yes, yes — anyone can do it. You do not have to be able to see or feel energy. In the course of the work you will most likely develop the ability to do so, but you don’t have to be able to do it.
The truth is, you have felt energy before, you just didn’t think of it that way.
Think of a time when you were feeling fine, and then were around a group of people who were angry, upset, or depressed? How did it make you feel? Think of places where you felt uncom­fort­able: it might be a crowded car on the tube, or a place that has tense or unhappy people in it. You prob­ably can remember places or people that when you are there you feel uncom­fort­able or headachy or just don\‘t like it. Some­thing about the energy is both­ering you,
Think of people that when you around them you tend to good. (Even if you don’t know them or even speak with them).
Are there places you go that make you feel good? Cer­tain people that it feels better after they come into a room? Often that is out in nature; it might be in a place of wor­ship; it might be in a par­tic­ular room in your home or a par­tic­ular spot in your garden &mdash all you know is that when you are there you feel good. The first time I went to the city of Bath, I noticed that at cer­tain loca­tions in and around Bath I felt really good for no apparent reason.
By telling people they have prob­lems from other people’s energy, isn’t that giving them a neg­a­tive uncon­scious sug­ges­tion?
Many people started studying NLP because they were con­cerned about some “problem” in their life. Con­cern about your present and future well being is a good reason to start studying Ener­getic NLP. In NLP, we learn to help people with the skill of cre­ating pos­i­tive com­pelling futures — and we also help them with the skill of cre­ating neg­a­tive com­pelling futures (see the book, Know How, for a great dis­cus­sion on this). Those of you who are in danger from absorbing other people’s ener­gies are in danger whether you are warned about it or not. The dif­fer­ence that makes a dif­fer­ence is that now you have the oppor­tu­nity to do some­thing about it!
