For starters it was beautiful weather on that liberation day, the first day of the class! And that continued to shine through as an inspirational warming light throughout the class. That extra (cosmic and/or comic) quality will follow through, I think, in what we do with NLP.
I recently gained more in-depth information on the Maya calendar and the energetic values of the days of the year. The class started on a red day (there are four colours, red, white, blue and yellow), the most successful day to start something (new).
The days with Bandler and La Valle also started on a red day. The first four days that you taught class, Joost, I experienced as being very pleasurable and educational. You explained all the basic techniques of the NLP method very clearly and lively. Getting started with varying groups of three was a practical pleasant exercise, which allowed us to flexibly and creatively apply the teaching material. I myself ended up on such a positive wavelength that gave me such an astounding amount of energy so much so that I could do with less sleep despite the intensity of the days. You gave the class with clear authority, but also with openness, a lot of humour and ease.
In an amazing way you know how to get people in touch with their own strength and you taught us how we could do that for others and for ourselves.
The content of the class and your way of teaching, which is in line with Bandler’s, felt like a homecoming on that first day at the Krasnapolski. After being in touch with people outside of our group I noticed that, thanks to everything we learned from you already, we had a considerable head start. The things I saw and learned there fell, as it were, in a soft place. Just like in your class I have gained tremendous insight into human functioning and especially into utilizing the surprisingly positive opportunities that are hidden in every problem! Before I started this class I had no idea that it would contain a key to “your unlimited self”! And by applying it also to “the unlimited other”!
The effect that it’s had on my immediate environment is tremendous!
The concluding days on the Enneagram types were very clarifying.
Luckily, I knew from reading your book what type I was and had had the shock of that ‘nasty’ discovery. Type 2, the Helper. Seen from my family background I suddenly realized that that was the only way to survive in all that misery. The Cinderella of the house, so to speak, until I got the glass slippers which made the steps I took more transparent and at the same time solved the past. The effect was like a kind of super rewind technique, or that is how it felt. From my own experience I can agree with you that the Enneagram is a good addition to NLP.
And so I can now better understand other people’s silly actions using Enneagram types, and by giving clear responses I can help them turn things around helping both the other person and myself. By making/keeping my circle of friends and contacts healthy, like I learned from you, I feel extremely vital and relieved. Or is it the other way around, because I am vital and relieved I am making my contacts healthy?!
After 12 years of being sick, and by trial and error, for me NLP has been a wonderful springboard to jumping back into society! With all the experience that I have gained from working in healthcare, I am now working in Spain as a coach for Dutch, English and French speaking people. Never before did I enjoy working so much as now with NLP!
