What happens though when we close our eyes or just de-focus them and “think” about things? What Movies play out on the theater of our mind?
- Horror movies, sex, adventure, sci-fi flicks, love and romance ones, documentaries, news reels, drama, soap operas, commercials, police and detective cinemas, cowboy.
The range of
Movies we can play on the screen of our minds goes on and on. Yet whatever
plays governs our states, emotions, feelings, behaviors, skills,
world-views, perceptions, health, and life. It determines what’s on our
mind. Yet the higher levels determine more important things—like
why we watch what we do. We can even
step back from the Movies that we play to take control of the productions,
editing them, directing them, and even producing them. After all, it’s our
brain. It’s the theater of your mind.

- Can people be “figured out?”
- If so, how? How do we figure out people?
- Why do people think, feel, talk, and act the way they do?
Meta-Programs is a meta-domain of NLP which
addresses human perceptual filters. Recognizing and matching how a person
processes information, what he or she sorts for, enables us to more
effectively communicate, relate, motivate, etc.
Meta-Programs arise from meta-states. We now know that these sorting
distinctions arise as meta-states coalesce from mind into body.
Meta-Programs then are former meta-states that have moved from mind into
muscle to become our perceptual frames, the very way we “see” the world
gives us one way to think about the structure of personality, that is, how
we behavior.
Figuring Out People is an entire book on Meta-Programs. Here you have
at your finger tips the most exhaustive and cutting-edge work in the field
of the NLP Meta-Programs. It is like an encyclopedia of 51 of the key ways
that we sort information. This is an essential tool for anyone who works
with people, wants to diagnose how a person is functioning, etc.
Discover How—
- Meta-programs operate as our human software operating systems that run our brains at meta-levels.
- These governing programs determine how we think-emote and respond.
- New insights from Cognitive and Perceptual Psychology lead to new patterns.
- To identify and work with the meta-programs as you work with people in business, therapy, coaching, etc.
- Meta-Programs work and where they come from.
- How to sort out the 51 meta-programs listed here into five larger categories.
- To use meta-programs for design engineering in communication, decision-making, relating, etc.

Book Review of Figuring Out People by
Judith E. Pearson, Ph.D. first appearing in Anchor Point.
The seeming “magic” of what some people can do with their mind, emotions, words, and behaviors has a structure. That was the astonishing contribution that Bandler and Grinder offered in 1975 with their first two books that initiated the field of NLP. In The Structure of Magic Vol. I & II, they showed that the magic was in the structure of the experience and that it was “rule-governed” and therefore could be replicated.
And with that NLP began. Looking closely at the structure of how three therapeutic experts (Satir, Perls, and Erickson) performed therapeutic “magic” gave us the Meta-Model, a model of how language works in neurology to effect the construction of reality and therefore transformation.
Now, after 25 years, The Secrets of Magic
updates the original work of Bandler and Grinder and looks at the
Meta-Model afresh. This is a book about how language works in the human
body (neurology) and mind (linguistics) to create the marvelous effects
that it does (our programming). It adds 9 new distinctions to the model
from General Semantics and Cognitive Psychology. It presents the
Mind-Lines model as a way to use the Meta-Model conversationally to
reframe meaning.
”The most compelling book on NLP I’ve ever read.” “This update on the
Meta-Model will update all of the previous books, making them obsolete.
I consider this an absolutely essential book for anyone serious about
NLP.”
Communication Magic – revised and substantially expanded takes the
Meta-Model to new levels of significance. In the development of the
Meta-Model which lies at the heart of NLP, Dr. Hall demonstrates how
your life can be dramatically enriched by having complete control over
how you communicate using language. In a clear and logical manner, he
examines how language affects the mind-body system, how language can
perform magic-like feats in the nervous system, and how this magic can
empower us to take charge of our own lives.

This newest work introduces many new
Time-Lining patterns and processes, it integrates many valuable
contributions of General Semantics to the NLP model, and it explores “time”
from other perspectives than just using the metaphor of a “line.” It looks
at “time as a nominalization of a nominalization (a multiordinal term) and
so introduces 16 different kinds of “time.”
“This book is a must for anyone who wants to stay current in the field, and
especially for those who work with time and Time-Lines.”
($25.00 plus $10) This small and practical book has one
primary focus: developing the skills to access the resourceful state of
relaxation and to use it when you most need it. It represents an integration
of the relaxation skills and processes (breathing, stretching) from Yoga
along with some of the state management technology of NLP. The book is built around one single and
simple idea: Preparing to Positively Alter Your Life from the debilitating
effects of stress. To achieve that it presents a 7-Day Stress Reduction
Program using simple and effective tools. Debra Lederer brings to this book
many experience of experience in studying yoga and as a Yoga Trainer in the
New York City area. She is also a NLP Master Practitioner. Michael Hall
assists in this work by locating the processes within the context of NLP’s
state management skills.

"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind..." (Romans 12:2)
We know that Christian transformation arises from the cognitive-emotional alteration of "mind."
-
Yet how do we pull it off?
-
How does the "mind" work?
-
What processes inform us about assisting someone else in altering their mind-set?
In Patterns for "Renewing the Mind" Bodenhamer, D.Min. and Hall, Ph.D., take the cutting-edge model of NLP and show how this model about communication and human functioning correlates with the biblical text and fits with the presuppositions in the Judeo-Christian worldview. They show how this model provides very powerful change techniques for Christian counseling, teaching, and preaching.

The coaching revolution has
exploded and is now recognized as the newest methodology for translating
knowledge, principles, and information into actual practical skills to
create a measurable difference. With this revolution, coaches, managers,
supervisors, trainers, and CEOs need some practical tools for this field.
Coaching Conversations provides just that. Coaching has proven to be a
reliable tool for men and women at the top of their fields to take their
competence and expertise to the next level of mastery. Rather than repeat
material that’s in most coaching books, Coaching Conversations offers new
and cutting-edge tools from NLP, Cognitive-Behavioral psychology, and
Neuro-Semantics. It offers specific information about conversation as an
agent or tool for change. Coaching Conversations
also gives an insider’s view of the coaching experience. Unlike every book
about coaching, this book invites the reader to over-hear the conversation
and to get an up-close and person a front row view of the experience. For
the curious reader who wants to understand what’s so exciting about
coaching, Coaching Conversations provides debriefs and meta-analysis of the
process. Coaching Conversations answers the question, “What is the whole
coaching thing about?” by giving the reader a peek into a dozen kinds of
coaching conversations. Coaching Conversations is the first coaching book to
provide actual transcripts of coaching conversations that invite a reader
into the experience and provide descriptions about what’s going on in the
process for easy replication in numerous contexts. It demystifies the
elitism of coaching as both a movement and as a specialized technology and
makes its powerful methodologies accessible to anyone who wants to use it
professionally and personally. This book offers a quality exploration into a
wide variety of coaching conversations: Outcome, Resource, Matrix,
Possibility, Fierce, Narrative, Time-Line, Neuro-Logical Levels, Hero
Journey, Metaphorical, etc. This gives the professional coach, the new
coach, the manager, leader, or individual a wide variety of choices. Coaching Conversations
goes beyond the Change Models that have been around for the past 30 and 40
years as it presents a brand new cutting-edge cognitive-behavioral Change
Model, the Axes of Change. Doing this means this book presents the coaching
conversation as a dance and analyzes the actual conversations in terms of
the dance steps. The reader is then taken through the dance, step-by-step,
to coaching mastery. (Paperback $30.00 - plus $10 S & H in USA,
