NLP Training for the future

What is the length of days to use for the optimal NLP training?

In the old days 25 days or so was used to teach the skills and techniques of NLP, it was also stated and said that NLP was to be updated by newer techniques as they where developed.
A new training could be taught with 25% new material so that would be for many years.

Then in later years Mckenna/Breen and Bandler set a new revisition to NLP bringing the 7 day accelerated practitioner of NLP to the table.
of course there become an uproar of the NLP community saying that NLP could not be taught in 7 days.

Paul Mckenna wrote some bit of article where he proved to some agree that the skills taught from Mckenna/Breen was more effective that the individual was able to do things with the skills taught that a 20 day NLp practitioner from someone else could not do.
Knowing the what to do, does not equal being able to do the techniques taught with any degree of skill.

I am also saying here that 7 day is to short time to teach NLP with any kind of precision and knowledge of the techniques applied, it is possible to teach NLP in those days if the following conditions are meet, 10 people or so in class.
Its simply not possible to teach the skills with 400ppl in the class with any acurate skills being in consious awareness.
Its simply a to big of a task for anyone no matter how skilled teaching using unconsious installation patterns.

For me skills with proper applying with a lot of practice delivers what I call the baseline for an NLPér.

The example by for example Joseph Riggio in his mythoself program do teach in 19 days the basic mythoself facilitator program. It require 19 days.
Now, he wants people to be skilled and have enough experience doing the program with exquisite precision.

I am in favor of longer programs, provided the skills taught with experience are provided with practice of the same in the class.

The experience in itsel is not enough to have a skilled practitioner.
I seen people attaneding classes with bandler, being able to do things proving that sure enough unconsious installation do work, however the indvidual who did the work, suddenly stopped doing it since he became afraid of doing what he did beacuse he didnt know how he learned it.

Peoples beliefs and assumptions in how to learn and being able to do is more powerful than being able to do.

let say someone become skilled, for a few weeks he practice and are able to do things, then he stopps and when asked are saying, well I need to know more.
He dont need more skills or knowledge but his beliefs are telling him that to be able to become let say rich, you need to be able to do xxxx.

7 day NLP practitioner with 400ppl are a bad idea, its to short and quality is not there.
if it was with 10 or maybe 20 ppl I would say so much but going to an event having an expereince with unconsious installation might work for you well enough but the risk is, what about the belief you have that might be in the way?

How do people change thier beliefs about stuff just like that when they dont know its a belief there in the first place?
They dont.

To change a belief, you got to learn to see them plainly in what results they produce for you.
Its in actually kind of easy, as soon your trying to do something new, to achive a result and then stop doing that, whatever pops up in your consious mind is a reference to a belief.
if your saying, "I cant do that", that is a belief statement about something, what its about, and who cares?

To sort out stuff in your mind and body the beleifs you have, you got to define a result in the future that you want to achive.

Lets say, you want to have 20 million dollars.
is that impossible?
No, just ask Bill Gates or people who have that kind of money, its kind of easy to have it, the boys creating youtube.com did that, they created a website, found a value for alot of people and sold it for a lot of money.

However, do you want that badly enough?
Do you have the motivation and desire to fullfill that kind of bankaccount?
No, you dont.

Isnt it then a good idea to spend some time to elicit what you truly really want?
Notice here how your point of view shifts, now its not impossible or hard to get 20 million, now its all about defining the feelings of desire, motivation and fullfillment which are prerequisites to get there.

Every success are just that, a state of expereince of doing things to get where they want to be by being there already, sitting in that ferrari every day driving when its just an old crashed car but for you its red blood lusted ferrari.
Its called using your perception to see what you want instead of what you dont want.

Now, a lot of people come to an NLP training by 7 days, they cant do much but have a great experience, its not something you get automatically, you got to use skills, set yourself up to the practice of applying your skills.

Anchoring for example, just go into your supermarket, smile at the person behind the counter, say in a husky voice, hello there, I just love people who work here.
Now, when you do it right, they shift there state to a more let say, positive one, now you elicited a new state, and you at the same time anchored it to your husky voice.
easy isnt it?

Amplifying that state and leading to another you can use a slight handgesture and create a small packet practicing anchoring and at the same time making someone else feel good for no reason at all other than you practicing skills.
Then again, we are always doing that but most people do it backwards, they have a bad mood, and then elicit a bad state from someone else and then they wonder why thier life sucks?

To keep a state you got to be able to have the state going and improving over time, you then use and establish a contextual shift or in NLP terms a Ceq where how you feel(being at your best) is always improving.
How you do that is to use a swishpattern that was designed by Joseph Riggio.
It establish a belief that is "meta" to the feeling, and provide a subtle but important link between the action done (how you feel) and what your doing.
That is in essence a updating software outside contextual markers ie anchors.

Lets say, you establish an outcome, you want that car, or money or whatever, to get there,
what do you need to do?
Elicit the future state when you have got the outcome, and then ask yourself what are you doing next after getting that outcome?

if you do it that way, elicit the state and feeling getting the outcome and then what is going on after you shift contexts, you have got the outcome, and then you do something else, right?
This allow us to shift our attention to what we doing later and this is a shift in our context in our heads.

people who are successful are doing that, moving into the future, where they want to be, have that future state today, how it is having that future, now this creates a feeling for the person and also is the requirement for manifestations wehre this future is already made real.
They simply instead of doing as they do it in NLP are actually moving the about the outcome into a past reference memory.
and at the same time keeeping the future state in a present time frame.

How you know is that there is only one option, no hesitation or anything else, you know it in your bones its true and already happening for you since you have the expereince...with that.
Uisng the "NOT factor" you can elicit the future state and outcome and eliminating beliefs along the way that might stop you until you arrive at the one option, its just like this now.
