Hello and welcome to this 12 NLP Presuppositions Meditation.
My name is Vasyl Karamanov and I will be guiding you through this intermediate level meditation.
I call this an intermediate level meditation because it requires quite a bit of focused visualization.
NLP is simply the science of excellence,
The lost user manual of the brain.
And there are 12 principles which are called the 12 NLP Presuppositions which when listened to with an open mindset and understood can greatly foster an abundance of self-awareness,
Confidence,
Patience,
And even emotional intelligence.
Now as we start this meditation,
I invite you to be in a distraction-free environment,
Sitting with your spine straight for the best focus possible.
And with that said,
Begin by taking in deep,
Slow breaths in and out.
With every breath in,
Breathing in opportunity and breathing out any resistance.
That's right,
Continue to take a few more deep breaths in,
Deep inhales,
Deep exhales.
With each breath,
Now imagine a gentle wave of relaxation washing over you,
Guiding you inward into a journey of self-discovery,
Growth,
And powerful transformation.
Principle number one,
The map is not the territory.
Visualize yourself in a vast and diverse landscape filled with intricate details,
Textures,
And colors.
In your hand,
You hold a map of this landscape,
A mere representation of the territory you are in.
Recognize that your map is an abstraction,
Not reality itself.
And that everyone holds their unique map based on their beliefs,
Values,
And experiences.
As you navigate life,
Remember to be open to different perspectives.
Acknowledging that others may have different maps from your own.
Embrace the wisdom that lies in the differences and use this understanding to create a more compassionate and empathetic world.
Take a deep breath in,
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Number two,
Experience has a structure.
Imagine your life experiences as an intricate puzzle,
With each memory and event forming a unique piece.
As you look at this puzzle,
Notice how the pieces fit together,
Creating patterns and connections that shape your perception of the world.
Understand that by changing and adapting these patterns,
You can transform your thoughts,
Feelings,
And behaviors,
Leading to a more empowering and fulfilling life.
As you continue on your journey,
Remain open to new experiences and be willing to re-evaluate the structure of your puzzle to create a richer,
More vibrant picture of your life.
Take a deep breath in,
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Number three,
Mind and body are interconnected.
Visualize a beautiful and intricately woven tapestry,
Where each thread represents the connection between your mind and body.
Observe how your thoughts and emotions impact your physical state,
While your body's sensations influence your mental well-being.
Embrace the idea that to achieve optimal health and happiness,
It is essential to nurture and care for both your mind and body.
Take a moment to assess your current mental and physical state,
And commit to cultivating practices that support harmony and balance between these two vital aspects of yourself.
Take a deep breath in,
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Number four,
Choice is better than no choice.
Envision yourself standing at a crossroads with multiple paths stretching out before you.
Each path represents a choice,
An opportunity for growth,
Learning,
And self-discovery.
Acknowledge the power and freedom that comes with having choices,
And understand that the more options you have,
The more empowered you are to create the life that you desire.
As you move through life,
Continue to seek out new opportunities and cultivate a mindset of curiosity and exploration,
Knowing that the more choices you have,
The more possibilities you can embrace.
That's right,
Take a deep breath in,
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Number five,
People have all the resources they need to succeed.
Picture a vast treasure chest within you,
Filled with an abundance of internal resources,
Skills,
Talents,
Knowledge,
And resilience.
Trust that you possess everything you need to overcome challenges and achieve success.
When faced with obstacles,
Remember to tap into this inner wealth,
Knowing that you have the power to grow,
Learn,
And adapt.
Encourage others to recognize their treasure chest as well,
Fostering an environment of mutual support,
Collaboration,
And empowerment.
Take a deep breath in,
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Number six,
People make the best choices available to them.
Visualize yourself and others as travelers on a long and winding road,
Each on your unique journey through life.
Acknowledge that at every turn,
You and your fellow travelers make choices based on your current understanding,
Resources,
And experiences.
Recognize that at times,
These choices may seem inadequate or even misguided,
But they represent the best options available at that moment.
Extend compassion and understanding to yourself and others,
Remembering that everyone is on their path of growth and learning,
And that each choice offers an opportunity for greater self-awareness and personal development.
Take a deep breath in,
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Number seven,
Every behavior has a positive intention.
Picture a beautiful garden where each action,
Thought,
And emotion plants a seed.
As you walk through this garden,
Observe how even the most challenging behaviors have roots in positive intentions.
Understand that behind every action,
There lies an underlying need or desire to meet a specific goal or to protect oneself from harm.
As you encounter difficult behaviors in yourself and others,
Strive to uncover the hidden positive intention and use this understanding to foster empathy,
Compassion,
And growth.
By shifting your focus to the core intention,
You can find more effective and harmonious ways to meet those needs while cultivating a more nurturing and supportive environment for all.
Take a deep breath in,
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
The meaning of communication is the response you get.
Imagine yourself in a dynamic conversation,
Fully engaged with the other person.
Recognize that communication is a two-way street where the meaning of your message is not solely determined by your words or intentions,
But also by the response you receive.
Embrace the idea that effective communication requires flexibility and adaptation.
Being willing to adjust your approach to ensure your message is truly understood.
As you interact with others,
Practice active listening and pay close attention to verbal and nonverbal cues,
Refining your communication skills and fostering deeper connections with those around you.
Take a deep breath in,
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
There is no failure,
Only feedback.
Visualize yourself walking along a path lined with stepping stone,
Each representing a learning experience.
As you step from one stone to the next,
Acknowledge that every situation,
Whether perceived as successful or failure,
Offers valuable lessons and insights.
Embrace the idea that there is no such thing as failure,
Only feedback that helps you learn,
Grow and evolve on your journey.
By adopting this mindset,
You cultivate resilience in a growth mindset,
Enabling you to face challenges with courage and curiosity,
Always seeking the wisdom hidden within each experience.
Take a deep breath in,
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
10.
The Law of Requisite Variety Picture yourself as a chameleon,
Able to adapt and respond to a wide range of environments and situations.
Embrace the idea that flexibility,
Adaptability and resourcefulness empower you to navigate life's challenges and achieve your desired outcome.
Recognize that the more versatile you are,
The better equipped you are to handle the complexity and uncertainty of life.
As you encounter new situations,
Commit to developing a diverse set of skills and strategies that enable you to thrive in any circumstance,
Fostering resilience and a deep sense of self-efficacy.
Take a deep breath in,
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
11.
People Work Perfectly Visualize a world where every individual operates based on their unique programming,
Shaped by their experiences,
Beliefs and values.
Recognize that everyone functions to the best of their ability given their current understanding and circumstances.
Extend empathy and understanding to yourself and others,
Acknowledging that each person is on their path of growth and learning.
By adopting this mindset,
You foster a more compassionate and supportive environment where everyone is encouraged to grow,
Evolve and reach their fullest potential.
Take a deep breath in,
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
12.
All Procedures Should Increase Wholeness Imagine your life is a beautiful interconnected web where each strand represents a thought,
Emotion or action.
Acknowledge that every aspect of your life contributes to your overall well-being and sense of wholeness.
As you move through your journey,
Strive to cultivate thoughts,
Emotions and actions that promote healing,
Growth and self-discovery.
Recognize that each choice you make has the power to either enhance or detract from your overall sense of wholeness.
By facing on practices and habits that nurture your mind,
Body and spirit,
You create a life of balance,
Harmony and deep fulfillment.
Take a deep breath in,
Breathe in,
Breathe out.

Perceptions and beliefs.

I went pretty deep and my conscious mind was drifting towards the latter half. I was able to recognize that I've already learned a good number of these in other forms through therapy and many other places. So that was wonderful validation! I hope my subconscious caught the rest. Lol
