Enhancing Your Mood with Simple NLP Techniques
Last night, I attended the year-end party hosted by HypnoticCafe, and I was once again surprised by the sheer number of enthusiastic learners. The gathering was not so much a raucous drinking party as it was an intense exchange of information about each other’s secret techniques, creating a rich and meaningful experience. I am sincerely grateful for the opportunity.
One of the most discussed topics was how easily we can control our mood using NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) techniques. The method that stood out to me the most was the “mood improvement technique using eye movement.” This technique stems from the observation that when people recall a happy moment from the past, their gaze naturally shifts upward and slightly to the left, at about a 30-degree angle. This particular direction of the gaze acts as a key to unlocking those happy memories. In other words, even when you’re feeling down, simply shifting your gaze in that direction can help you feel better. This is the power of NLP.
To explain more specifically, you should first recall the happiest moment you’ve experienced in the past and check where your eyes naturally move during that memory. Then, the next time you feel down or need to boost your mood, you should intentionally direct your gaze toward the pre-identified direction. By doing so, you can significantly lift your spirits. This simple technique allows you to take control of your emotions and improve your mood with minimal effort. It’s a handy trick that anyone can apply in their daily lives.
One thing to note: it is often difficult to vividly recall happy memories when you’re already feeling down. Therefore, it is highly recommended to practice this technique while you’re in a good mood so that you’ll be prepared when you actually need it.
There are also some misconceptions about where the eyes should look when recalling the past or predicting the future. Some people still believe that when you look to the left, you’re accessing past memories, and when you look to the right, you’re imagining future events. This notion was popularized around 20 years ago by NLP co-founders Richard Bandler and John Grinder. However, recent advancements in neuroscience suggest that this idea is outdated. According to the latest findings, eye movement direction varies significantly from person to person, and there is no definitive relationship between eye direction and recalling the past or predicting the future.
Techniques evolve rapidly, and what may have been widely accepted in the past can be revised or replaced by new knowledge. The field of hypnosis and NLP is no exception. As we continue to explore the mind and its complex mechanisms, we must remain open to new discoveries. Hypnosis Creator Tamura, as part of HypnoticCafe, believes in the importance of continually learning and adapting to these advancements, ensuring that the most effective and up-to-date techniques are utilized.
So the next time you’re feeling down, try the NLP eye movement technique. Look upward and to the left, recall your happiest memory, and you might just find your mood improving in a matter of moments. The mind is a powerful tool, and with the right techniques, it’s possible to harness its full potential.
