WHAT IS NEURO-SEMANTICS?

 

 

"Neuro-Semantics: Taking NLP to a higher level

professionally and ethically."

L. Michael Hall, 1996 Original Vision Statement

 

 

Several people have seen the advertisements for the new book,
Neuro-Semantics: Actualizing Meaning and Performance and while they also saw
the chapter titles, they wanted to know a little more about what is in the
book, so with this Neurons Meta Reflection and perhaps a few more, I'll put
some of what's in the book here.  The following is from Chapter 1.

 

Chapter 1

Everyday someone asks me, "What is Neuro-Semantics?"  And every time I'm
asked, I am tempted to look at my watch to see how much time I have to
answer that question.  I could easily and quickly say, "It's your neurology
and your meanings; it's your embodied meanings that comprise your life and
that create what for you makes sense in life."  And while that is true, it
is also superficial.  Neuro-Semantics is so much more.

Neuro-Semantics is the exploration of meaning (semantics) and how we humans,
as meaning-makers, make meaning.  Exploring the structure of meaning and how
we construct, construe, and interpret the events of life endowing them with
meaning, Neuro-Semantics focuses on expanding the ability to detect meaning
frames, the processes of meaning-making, quality controlling meanings,
enriching limiting meaning, suspending dis-empowering meanings, and taking
charge of one's meaning-making instinct.  So Neuro-Semantics, as a
mind-body-emotion discipline, refers to how we human beings create,
experience, and transform meaning within their bodies as performances
(actions, skills, gestures, etc.).

 

Neuro-Semantics goes beyond merely exploring meaning, it enables the skills
of meaning-making.  It especially enables the processes of identifying
meaningful possibilities that represent your highest visions and values in
life and actualizing those potentials in your best performance in everyday
life to achieve your highest goals and dreams.

 

           Neuro-Semantics is a practical set of processes for unleashing
your highest and best and actualizing them so that your life is richly
meaningful and significant.  In this unleashing, there is an unleashing from
the things that limit, interfere, and sabotage your best and an unleashing
to your dreams of a highly productive and meaningful life.  We call this
unleashing process-self-actualization.

 

Neuro-Semantics is a communication model for exploring how the body (neuro-,
the nervous system, physiology, neurology) gets programmed by the use of
language (linguistics, symbols), and meaning (semantics).  NLP focuses on
the linear and horizontal tracking of the processes of the mind.  NLP
focuses on the how of human behavior.  Its central question is, "How do you
do that behavior?"  Neuro-Semantics adds another distinction-the why of
behavior (its meaning).  From a higher level of mind, meaning  drives
behavior.  There are many hidden meta (Greek for "above and about") levels
of thought and meaning within the structure of subjective experience.

 

Neuro-Semantics is a positive, strength-based psychology designed to model
the highest and best in human nature so we can transfer it to our everyday
lives.  The tag-line of Neuro-Semantics, Actualizing Excellence, identifies
that we primarily model expertise and best practices.  We are able to do
this because every experience has a structure.  Sometimes we also model
dysfunctional experiences to understand how diminishing experiences work.
Knowing how an experience works enables us to be able to transform it for
higher purposes.

Neuro-Semantics is an expression of the positive psychology that Maslow and
Rogers pioneered (Humanistic, Self-Actualization Psychology) that gave birth
to NLP and dozens of other strength-based psychologies.  In recovering its
original NLP history, Neuro-Semantics is rediscovering the health-based
philosophy that focuses on the further reaches of human nature.

 

There you have it!  Six paragraphs that define and map out Neuro-Semantics.
And I'm sure that with these descriptions, you now have many more questions
about Neuro-Semantics.  To answer those questions, I will identify the
essential variables within Neuro-Semantics and then I'll set out a list of
the fundamental premises that govern our activity as Neuro-Semanticists.
