It has been a long while since I posted. I found myself drawn away from my blog by a myriad array of self-development practices.

For almost 2 years I have wanted to take NLP practitioner training. I had studied many, many audio tapes and books, but I really wanted the experience of practicing with willing partners.

So last October I started an NLP Practitioner Training with nlpca.com, Tim Hallbom was my primary instructor. After 6 months of one 3 day weekend every month, I finally have my NLP practitioner certificate.

Some of the benefits I got from the program include:

1. I have an effective model of subjective experience. With a willing, open minded subject I can now catalyze major shifts in peoples perceptions, habits and illnesses. I didn’t really expect to be able to improve my powers of keen observation and subtle suggestion as effectively as I did.

2. I am much more aware of subtle modes of communication. This has changed my tai-chi, I now feel my Qi more strongly and directly. Best of all, my push hands is more sensitive, rooted, powerful and subtle.

3. I understand what motivates me in major areas of my life, and how to change them.

4. I now have a personal vision of building transformational communities online.

5. I have built really strong bonds with my class mates, I care about them in a ways which were totally unexpected for me.

5. I feel like my life has shifted in a fundamental way. My opportunities are limitless, my motivation is renewed, I feel centered and happy for most of every day.

Next Steps? I will be continuing with my Master Practitioner Training, 3 more months where we will focus on re-imprinting, language patterns and other advanced topics.
