This is for all lovers of NLP and especially for those who are ready to step into the next dimension and notch up what you already do so well.. to the next level..This is about the MythoSelf ® body of work.. and it is about you and your relationship with NLP.
What did you especially love about NLP when you were training and even now...I know there were a lot of things that really juiced me up as I went through the Prac, Master Prac and Trainers Training. And, looking back I realise that I've found something far more powerful.. something that has accelerated my NLP skills beyond what I thought possible and in the process I've discarded the things that don't work.....
Who am I to make these statements?
Well first of all, I’ve done a lot of NLP training. Not only did I train with PPD, Robbins and Bandler and nearly all his associates, but I attended and assisted on several times nearly every McKenna Breen Bandler NLP and associated training over a period of four years including Prac, Mater Prac, Trainers Training, DHE, Business Practitioners, Remote Viewing and Bio Energy Healing modelling. and Neuro Hypnotic Repatterning. I've given a workshop at and attended every ANLP conference twice a year from 1995 until 2004.
In 1998 I founded what was probably the largest NLP events group in the world [NLPlay] and for several years I hosted monthly events in London with some of the best NLP trainers in the world. John LaValle referred to me as the 'wild woman of NLP'.
I’m a licensed trainer of NLP although I don’t train NLP any more and I’m also a licensed and certified MythoSelf ® facilitator and Associate MythoSelf ® trainer. And it is about this body of work
For those of you who are reading this article somewhere other than my site or via my newsletter, I’m Peta Heskell commonly known as The Flirt Coach. I’ve written four books one of which, Flirt Coach was referred to in a review as ‘one of the best introductions to NLP ever’.
I can remember the first time I encountered NLP and how I came to book up on my first NLP training back in 1994. It was a magical experience for me, a dipping of my toes into the lake of possibility and it served me well.
I ran my first NLP course not long after I finished my Trainers Training with Bandler. It was called NLP Skills for IT Trainers via a company called Happy Computers. I’d been putting all the skills hot off the press into action back at work where I was a Microsoft Software trainer.
Huge Success using NLP
And I knew that I wanted to teach this stuff to others. So I quit my job and set up the Flirting Academy and created a course called The Flirting Weekend, which was largely based on NLP. It attracted huge amounts of media attention and the course has been running successfully for seven years. I’ve also worked with private clients since 1997.
I've noticed absolutely that the way I run my training course, what I write in my books and the way I work with clients has changed immensely moving slowly away from being heavily NLP-based to being much more MythoSelf ® based. The MythoSelf Process is the body of work that was created and is still being evolved by Dr Joseph Riggio Ph.D. And yet there are still elements of NLP that I love and adore.
And when I look back on what I loved then, it’s interesting how it’s all been incorporated into what I use now... and it’s even more interesting how I’ve just dropped those things that aren’t effective because I’m only interested in what works.
-
I liked at first the ability to feel good at will and generate it in others
-
I liked the idea of getting rid of the voices in my head
-
I liked being able to use sound to generate states and create anchors
-
I liked discovering how powerful language is both in the way I use it on myself and how I use it with others.
-
I loved learning how easy it is to ‘hypnotise’ others...
-
I loved that I could reframe things to see them from another viewpoint... and…
-
I loved being able to stand in the future and see myself having achieved something I desired... as if it were already done.
-
I liked being able to generate states in people just by how I use my voice... and…
-
I loved the idea of being able to help people let go of stuff that wasn’t useful and become free…
For me NLP was about freedom… My learnings helped me become free and I’m sure you have something you love about NLP, some thing or things that stood out for you... that are in a way...for you.. NLP at its best…
Beyond NLP - enhancing your skills
Maybe you got excited when you learned about eye accessing and how the eyes moved in different directions according to the kind of process going on in the brain.
If that’s the case, and you take a MythoSelf ® facilitators course, you’ll be amazed at the importance of different kinds of eye accessing cues beyond and outside of VAKOG awareness locations. You will learn to calibrate repetitive individual locational eye access and to use it to literally reset the system. This skill goes way beyond the uses NLP trainings offer in relation to eye accessing cues.
Maybe you were fascinated by the idea that people all operate in patterned ways and that they give away on the outside all the secrets of what’s making them tick on the inside.
If you had a kind of ‘wow’ experience when you discovered how some people move away from things while others move towards or how some like lots of detail and others paint big pictures... then, when you start training in MythoSelf ® work what you’ll discover about language patterns and how to use them will blow your mind. And even if you don’t fall for that language pattern, isn’t it fun to just notice them as well as being able to unearth and play with and modulate what really makes people tick.
Because a MythoSelf ® facilitator aims to uncover and recognise patterns in the first few lines of conversation and subsequently be able to work inside someone’s patterns, shifting them and installing new patterns using cutting edge hypnotic language whilst drinking a cup of coffee and carrying on what seems like an ordinary conversation. And that’s not all. You begin to see the complexities of people’s patterns and realise how dangerous it is to label people.
What takes the MythoSelf® work beyond NLP is that Joseph Riggio teaches you how to work in the moment, assessing what comes up and going with it… in a way I never learned how to do, even in the NLP Trainers Training.
If you loved the idea that people could shift and being in the presence of that was a great experience and you want to be able to generate that in everyone you meet, the MythoSelf ® work will transform your NLP skills of ‘rapport’ into the ability to be utterly flexible and to shift your energy in a trice whilst still remaining absolutely rooted to who you are..
It will extend your ability to help people generate not just states, but a life that really works. If you want to help people, this is the difference between the way a first year surgical intern might operate despite several years of training compared to worlds most skilled and experienced surgeons. The MythoSelf ® work is about taking your skills to the next level...
Why you'll never need to anchor yourself again..
Chances are you’ve sometimes wondered how you can continue to do this work when you get off track and NLP doesn’t work when you do it on yourself.
In my personal experience, the MythoSelf ® work doesn’t just offer a way of being able to re-centre yourself instantly it generates a grounding in you that’s natural and this is just the beginning.. People who have undergone this training begin to build up huge resilience until resilience becomes built in.
This work will strengthen the core of your groundedness to the point that you will be more able to generate and maintain the energetic space between you and the client where great work gets done. Once you experience THIS facility you’ll never need to anchor yourself again!
If you’ve ever said to a client ‘think of a time when you were X’ and come up against a brick wall or even worse had them get into a bad state because they can’t find a time, you can relax because those days are over.
A MythoSelf ® facilitator is trained to utilise conversation to generate states that are both generalised [not labelled by the facilitator as confidence or joy or whatever] and they are excitatory. and they get to name them themselves. Meanwhile the brain is generating immune boosting hormones... and the body is shifting into a positive and aligned physiology naturally.
"What’s great about NLP and how the MythoSelf ® enhances it" - an evening with Peta Heskell
This will be the topic of a talk that I’m giving at the Richmond NLP group on October 25th.
Give your clients the gift of themselves at their best
We don’t begin with a client until this is in place and we learn ways of doing it that make it easy and simple…and effective and permanent. AND the client gets to take away the blueprint for the sequence of how they do this so that they can re-activate the movements and thus the cells that hold the neurological blueprint for their excitatory state. This is NOT by the way the same as excited.
No more playing with pictures
And of course there’s this whole picture thing in NLP I’m pretty way out and nothing phases me, but I realised how challenging it was to do the work with a client in public and still do some of the outlandish things I learned in my NLP trainings.
What happens now is that as I work with a client using the MythoSelf ® process there just isn’t any need for that. Once they get the generalised desired state, it becomes the starting point. They get to the deepest sense of themselves at their best begin from there..
My clients don’t need to generate or remember their fucked up pictures and re-colour, size and organise them to feel better about their problems.
They generate a state inside from which it’s almost impossible to make shitty pictures or say nasty things to themselves. Like that the things that used to limit them seem to dissolve. Their neurology is incapable of maintaining the states of limitation.
I think it’s great that people don’t have to spend more time than is necessary making meaning of life's events by calling them 'problems' and that instead of treating the symptoms of the tumour, we dissolve it instead… by creating a place where it’s impossible to grow..
The MythoSelf (r) work goes beyond NLP in many ways. And it has enhanced and energised the NLP skills that for me are still exciting and precious. I gratefully acknowledge that it was through my awareness of NLP that I found the life I have now…
and it has served me well.
NLP from soulmate to soul friend
I was with one of my partners for 15 years. During that time we were soulmates. And then I moved on. And now I look back and can see how this relationship was part of my maturing and emerging. And as I am now he is not the one for me any more, yet he has become a soulfriend. Someone I’ll love for ever even when I meet the next soulmate in my life
NLP is my soulfriend. It was once a soulmate and I was once a naïve newbie but now I’m not... and I’ve fled the nest... I have taken with me many awarenesses and skills and now as I am evolving I have found a new 'soulmate' that is not just teaching me great skills and helping to shape me as a human becoming but it is also synergising my unique skills into magic that only I can perform…
THAT is worth its weight in stardust…
Find out how you can enhance your NLP skills as a MythoSelf ® facilitator
No more 'problems'
A facilitator using the MythoSelf ® process can shift a client out of sensing and conceptualising events into 'problems'. Instead the client has access to a neurology and physiological presence that is beyond the concept of 'problems'. It is a form where they are only aware of what’s possible.
Sayonara Goal Setting a la NLP
Many years ago I gave a presentation at the London NLP group on goal setting with the NLP Positive Outcomes model. Anyone who’s studied NLP will get that this was the designer goal setting method of its day.
And in its day the telegraph was considered a miracle... now many of us are thinking ‘maybe the Startrek beam-me-up-Scotty transporter system isn’t so far fetched as it once seemed.’
The girl I used as the demo subject went away and bought a flat in three weeks, 8 weeks earlier than she’d planned in her goal setting. She was well impressed and so was I. And yet, despite this succes the last thing in the world I’d do now is to get someone to set goals, positive outcomes or anything like that, using that method. Why? Because it doesn’t work. It gets fucked up. Stuff happens. And all the things you think you’ve accounted for are to no avail because the one expected event happens and knocks it out of alignment.
It’s much harder to recover when you set yourself up like this. The MythoSelf ® work can be used to orient a client towards their unique potential in the future. They develop a sense of something so magnificent that it’s indefinable, and yet it’s like a powerful magnet pulling them.
With this set up, people free themselves up to notice FOR the data that’s out there and begin to make intuitive decisions sometimes taking steps that seem crazy.
And beyond that the Exquisite Performance Coaching ® model that was developed by Joseph Riggio is second to none in helping people get what they want. If this stuff can be labelled then it's designer coaching n action.
It's in your body and so are you..
And then there’s the body... If you’re a bodyworker or you get that the somatic stuff is important in some way, the MythoSelf training offers a whole set of somatic skills based on the work of Feldenkrais, Hanna certain martial arts as well as some cutting edge new material created by Joseph. The Dance of the Elements- tm is a form that is unique to the MythoSelf work and it is entirely body based. It generates energy shifts at a very deep cellular level and if this is what you want to achieve with your clients, the Dance of the Elements tm work will add a fourth dimension to your NLP skills..
How the MythoSelf ® has worked for me
When I look back on the books I've written in order from 2000 to 2004 and compare the influences I realise that I have initially based much of what I wrote on NLP information. 'Flirt Coach' put out NLP skills in a simple format to thousands. And when I consider the latest book Secrets of Attraction [which I am publishing in audi-book format next year] Joseph Riggio and the MythoSelf ® work have become my major influence simply because IMO it works better. It enhances and utilises the best of NLP. It goes beyond NLP. It is simply the best I’ve found.
I’m doing powerful deep level work with my clients in just three sessions. I’m not sending them away with a few tricks to use and I’m not fixing them and I’m not doing changework. My clients leave their first session with a sense of generative shifting and a sense of awe because they’ve had a glimpse of their own possibility. For some it’s even like ‘growing pains’... as they begin to mature into their natural form. And a lot of this work is done at the somatic level rather than in their heads.
The MythoSelf ® work permeates the physiology and neurology deeper and further than any other personal development method I’ve encountered.
When I see what happens even introducing watered down MythoSelf concepts on my Pulling Power weekend, it's exciting to read the responses to the 'what was most powerful for you' question in the feedback forms.
Nearly everyone has something positive to say about 'the bit where I learned how to be at my best'. And quite a few of those people have gone on to do the Mytho 2 facilitators course and are now booking onto the new MythoSelf ® trainings that I am running and many more are signing up as private clients. They get results in a short space of time and it's natural that they should want more..because this stuff works.
There is so about the MythoSelf ® that excites me and I know that Joseph Riggio really is beyond the cutting edge, out there in the future looking for what's next and developing and updating the model faster than I can sometimes keep up.
These are just a few of the positive attractors that made it easy to for me to leave behind some of the NLP ‘techniques’ I had been using and embrace what works even better.
Into the future with the MythoSelf ® work
And I'll remind you of the telegraph thing and how we're in beam-me-up times now.
So if you want to go where only a few have boldly gone before, bringing your NLP skills to the arena...and you are flexible enough to be OK with having a few illusions shattered and able to take on new cutting edge thinking..then you may be the kind of person to join the SS MythoSelf ® as we voyage beyond NLP, into the MythoSphere... sailing over the edges of what we know, to the unknown…in search of new knowings and forging new pathways to personal enlightenment…
MythoSelf® is probably the best personal 'enlightenment' system I’ve encountered to date… and under the auspices of Joseph Riggio evolving... into what's next
I wrote this because someone asked me what I’d say about the MythoSelf ® work to an NLPer. What began as two paragraphs has become piece of writing. I trust you are as inspired as I was to put this out there..and that you too are excited about the possibility of taking your NLP skills to the next level...Maybe I'll see you in the Mythosphere..
