THINKING PATTERNS...

"WHAT YOU THINK IS WHAT YOU ARE"

The knowledge of Thinking Patterns and the ability to control these patterns can make a large difference in our communication with others.The representations of various events in our brain by various people and the usage of these representations,ideas,memories vary from person to person.This we call our Individual Representation Systems.
NLP assumes that internal mental processes such as problem solving, memory, and language consist of visual, auditory, kinesthetic (and possibly olfactory and gustatory) representations (often shortened to VAK or VAKOG) that are engaged when people think about problems, tasks or activities, or engage in them.
NLP techniques generally aim to change behavior through modifying the internal representations, examining the way a person represents a problem and by building desirable representations of alternative outcomes or goals. In addition, Bandler and Grinder claimed that the representational system use could be tracked using eye movements, gestures, breathing, sensory predicates and other cues in order to improve rapport and social influence.
