Check out the very cool introduction before you get to the raft of information !
Until the 19th century and the beginning of the Women’s Suffrage movement, traditional gender definitions prevailed. But as women gradually claimed their share of political power, they were not content with the classic male-work-rational-strong vs. female-home-emotional-weak dichotomy that dominated — and of course they shouldn’t have been.
Men resisted the movement until they could do so no longer. As women took steps to define their own gender roles, men missed the opportunity to do the same. We were left with a confused, ragtag concept of what it means to be a man, defined not by ourselves, but rather by contrasting ideals from two sources — liberated women and posterity.But most modern men defy these narrow stereotypes, taking pieces of each.
A post-hypnotic re-induction cue is simply a post-hypnotic suggestion to enter trance at a later time at some pre-arranged signal. This can save you from having to go through a lengthier induction process. A post-hypnotic re-induction may be what is happening when you see a stage hypnotist snap his fingers or say a word and have his subjects immediately go into trance. The subjects were first hypnotized and then given the cue. After that time they respond to the cue. An example would be “And when I look you directly in the eyes and snap my fingers like this (snap fingers) you’ll instantaneously go to this level of trance or deeper.”
NLP seems to be some seriously powerful stuff and is also one of the techniques that Derren Brown will use to perform his magic.
In the 1970s, Richard Bandler and John Grinder set out to answer the questions: ‘how do wildly successful people create their success?’ and ‘can these methods of success be replicated?’.
They studied the best therapists of their time, and through observation, testing and trail and error, codified what they found into sets of prinicples and techniques. When they taught and used these strategies and found that they could reproduce the success these therapists had, they knew they were on to something.
Now more than 30 years later, the results of their work has been built on and refined through the new art and science of achievement known as Neuro-Linguistic Programming, or NLP. And the beliefs that they found these master therapists and achievers had in common to produce the results they did were codified into the master beliefs for success; the NLP presuppositions.
