NLP AND BARDON
Changing Personality with sensory modalities in modern NLP and the work of Franz Bardon.
The right use of sensory modality can be a very powerful one. We think the founder of NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) half-opened a door to a new world. If we open the door completely we can discover a new reality. This is what happens if we put together NLP and Franz Bardon. One of the presuppositions of NLP is that everything is happening in our mind and is represented through our senses.
FRANZ BARDON AND THE SENSORY MODALITIES
The use of sensory modality is a breakthrough in psychology, but we can find very interesting parallels with Franz Bardon.
Franz Bardon wrote many books on occult subjects. The first, Initiation in Hermetics, bring a student to the secrets of elements. This book describes a way of operating based on four elements. These four elements are held in direct connection with the sensorial modalities and many exercises are derived from them. We have put all these exercises in action and we have found incredible results.
It is possible to help a person to change his personality through these re-equilibrating processes. We think that put together these two approaches could be dynamite and we have ourselves found new interesting dimensions. We can also find guidelines on new ways of doing self-hypnosis.
CAUTION: The books of Franz Bardon are not so easy to read for newcomers. In the future, we will probably create a Mailing List in which we will put some constructive ideas for linking together the two concepts.

 

INTERNAL ALCHEMY
Secrets of Internal Alchemy - From East to West
The internal Alchemy techniques are a series of process to self-development. These techniques were often hidden but can now be rediscovered. In NLP we have some techniques that deal with internal alchemy, such as the anchoring processes for stimulating so called kinaesthetic responses. But the most advanced are the Tao Yoga techniques that can bring self-healing, rejuvenate the body and stimulate the whole personality. We can now find a very interesting parallel between the processes of Internal Alchemy developed by Tao Yoga and the work of Franz Bardon. It is a more advanced step beyond the use of simple sensorial modalities. With Internal Alchemy, we access the personality core, fusing the elements.
Franz Bardon, a western expert of kabbalah (a series of techniques for personal and spiritual development) developed some techniques that can be strictly linked to oriental techniques. We have discovered them and applied them with great results.

 

ENNEAGRAM & NLP
Enneagram Personality and NLP
The enneagram is an ancient technique for self-development that can be very useful in communication. The symbol for the eneagramm is a circle with 9 points, symbolising the 9 types. In short, with the Enneagram we get to 9 types of personality. Examining the diagram, we found two very useful expansions for the system: the first with NLP, the enneagram helps us to be more precise in understanding a persons' stragegies. The choice of strategy is in fact strongly influenced by the so-called ennea type. In a few moments we can look at a person, discover, through appropriate questioning, his type and at the same time we have discovered his strategy.
The second connection is with chinese elements and types of personalities. Both can be linked together in a unique framework.
The importance in having more than just a system for examining the personality is
1) the possibility to be more precise
2) the possibility to communicate at the same level given by the context

 

Enneagram, NLP and job selection
Enneagram and NLP can be complementary in job selection. Through NLP we can question our candidate, while through the enneagram we can understand his direction in life. If he is what we are searching for, OK, otherwise we can look for another person.

 

ENNEAGRAM & HYPNOSIS
For the hypnotist, it can be very useful to understand the ennea type of the person he is working with. With this knowledge he can operate faster and in a more effective manner. With enneagram, it is, for instance, possible to adapt oneself to the complementary position and create a trance in a nicer and faster way.
1) understand type
2) adopting the complementary position

 

Mantras and self-hypnosis
With Mantra we can easily put our subconscious to work. The work of Franz Bardon relating to Kabbalah can be a wonderful source of western mantras. If we apply this method we will begin to see changes from the first moments. In general continuous repetition held in a subconscious way (i.e. without thinking while you pronounce the mantra) acts very fast. Within 15 minutes we can already have a change in our mantra. A general knowledge of western hypnotic principles can enhance the use of mantras.

 

Layer of the mind
Layer of the mind is an expression for indicating different levels of analysis of the mind.
1 layer: sensorial systems and chinese tantiens
2 layer: chinese elements
3 layer: meridians
4 layer: chakras and sephirot of the kabbalah.
In our courses we investigate all these different layers.
