Neurolinguistic Programming

I really do not have any idea what Neuro-linguistic Programming(NLP) is all about and what I had in mind is it have something to do with brain(because of the word neuro) and language(lingusitic).So I just guessed that the session will be on how to structure your language by using brains. Or the other way round. lol

It was completely an alien word to most of us I think. The trainer, Mr Faizal Kamal, looks like a motivator to me. Well, I bet NLP requires more than one day session to really get us 'digest' and understand the whole concept. What we actually did on that day was mostly psychological activities.

The best part is that there is a test to know what kind of a person you are, whether you are an audio person, visual or kinesthetic person.

Interestingly, I was selected to volunteer in front for Mr Faizal wanted to show us how people can use mind to connect with other people. Two of us had to close our minds and relaxed, and our physiological have to be perfectly the same way(Other two girls were asked to make sure of it). I have to try to 'feel' and 'connects' to Ain's mind,to connects to what she was feeling(she was told to recall a memory that involves either happiness or sadness). I was trying so hard (I think) although I don't have any idea how to do it, I just sat tring to be calm as hard as I can, but actually I was getting quite nervous what will happened. I kept answering that I can't guess what Ain was feeling. I heard Mr Faizal then asked Ain to try to project the feelings harder. Then, my closed eyelids were moving uncontrollably. It was unbelievable that later my eyes were teary. I was unsure why it happened, I guessed maybe because I closed my eyes and tried hard enough to control my eyes not to move. When Mr Faizal asked again, I just said I still can't. Mr faizal cut the session off and asked me again loudly what Ain was thinking about.
At this point, I just guessed that the memory Ain was thinking is a sad one. And surprisingly it is true! I saw Ain's eyes were teary too after being asked by Mr Faizal whether my guess us true or not. On my way to my seat, I could not help but tears were rolling down my cheeks.

I still could not register myself to what had happened. I asked a sister what it might be about. She make sense when she relates NLP to intuition. How mothers can actually felt the same emotion although they are farther apart from their children. Or how a twins can had the same food poisoning symptoms although there are worlds apart and did not eat the same dish. Bizarre but it happened. Only Allah knows better.
