NLP works because it follows a structured process. Period!
So people have been wondering what is the base of NLP and my coaches have been saying people to go back to fundamentals - The input channels through which we receive information about the world around us - Visual, auditory, Kinesthetic. (Commonly known as VAK) (Smell and taste are, apparently less utilized for gaining information of human behavior). (VAKOG - All Five)
Some useful information which will uplift your curiosity as you read the below points and see the short powerful and useful video!
- A child is born with senses and develop awareness in the world. Also model the environment to see/hear/feel the world differently in its own way.
- Five Senses - VISUAL-AUDITORY-KINESTHETIC-OLFACTORY-GUSTATORY - Gates of information
- We use all five senses. Generally speaking, a person has one dominant sense to receive information in most of the places, however as per my experience there could be changes as per the context.
- There are people who are aware and have practiced sensory acuity and using all in great combination.
Why do I need to know which Sense do I use more?
- Did you ever notice that your child doesn't behave you want?
- Do you have conflicts with your partner often?
- Do you think your colleague/superior doesn't understand you?
- Do you think that you people are always talking about you?
- Do you think that they are always looking at you?
- Do you think they are not so good?
- Do you think that there is something missing in your relationship?
- Do you like to have more fun in your life?
Then you can go ahead and read some more useful information below to explore yourself!
How to be aware?
- Example - Think about the last vacation you had and what's the first thing which comes to you about it? Is it the feeling of touch, the amazing experience while doing something (Kinesthetic), Is it the talks and laughter (Auditory) you had or Is it the scenic beauty which reflect to you first (Kinesthetic)!
- Notice what happens to you whenever you receive information and create a perception in your mind for anything in your life. (This is only one of the ways)
- Do you create decision because it looks good (Visual) or do you like a person by the way he/she talks (auditory) or do you sense the feeling by being in the experience or by doing (Kinesthetic) it?
- Visual dominance individuals collect information through pictures, colors, size, shape, the way it looks etc.
- Auditory dominance individual collect information through hearing, sound, tonality, frequency, position, modulation, rate of speech of sound etc.
- Kinesthetic dominance individual collect information through doing, touch, sense of understanding, soft or hard, etc.
- When you collect multiple experiences and start becoming aware which sense you are using more, you can have more fun with it now.
- The idea is not to be worry about - oh I am highly visual or oh you are not auditory or oh my god I am highly Kinesthetic. The idea is
- Become aware
- Expand other senses ( If you are Visual, start being more auditory and Kinesthetic, If you are auditory, start using V & K etc) (More curious to know, You can see/hear the video to know more about the how of it)
- Use all for the best experience in life and
- Match senses with other individuals to build rapport
- The results will surprise you that this is the only reason, may be your spouse/friend/colleague/parent/partner doesn't understand few things; as you both are using different dominant sense !
- We need to be aware that if I am using X more, can I create more choices to use Y and Z more as well.
So let's create more choices in the world to create new reality!
More feeds on Senses sooner!
