NLP Strategies - Representational Systems

1. Each representational system can best represent the aspect of the world that it responds to directly. Many people get into trouble by representing experience with the wrong representational system.
2. Digital descriptions are always secondary experience so they contain less information than the primary experience which they describe.
3. Auditory digital is valuable as a filing system:
   • To keep track of experience.
   • To categorize experience.
   • To plan and set direction.
   • To summarize.
   • To make a running commentary on raw data.
   • To draw conclusions.
   • To make sense of things.
4. Auditory tonal can add emphasis and help flesh out raw data.
5. Visual can represent an enormous amount of data simultaneously and instantaneously.
6. Auditory processing is sequential and takes longer than visual processing which is simultaneous.
7. The kinesthetic system has more inertia and duration than the visual and auditory systems.
8. When making decisions it is difficult to fully represent possibilities using only sounds, words or feelings. The visual system is helpful, because it enables one to simultaneously picture different options and make comparisons between them.
9. Kinesthetic tactile and proprioceptive sensations help provide raw data.
10. Kinesthetic Meta is the primary way people evaluate experience.
11. Congruent feelings are perceptual feelings of events, involving direct tactile and proprioceptive sensations. They are purely perceptual or sensory experiences without evaluations.
12. Meta-feelings are evaluative feelings about events in response to criteria, and usually have a positive or negative value. They are what we usually call emotions or feeling states. Meta-feelings may be created through past anchoring of experiences and/or beliefs.
