META-NLP would not be meta if it wasn’t for the Meta-States model. This model was introduced to the field of NLP in 1994 by Dr. Michael Hall. While he discovered the model researching Resilience and whilst presenting it to the NLP Conference in Sept of 1994. Most noteworthy for Meta-States, the International Association of NLP Trainers awarded their “most significant contribution to the field of NLP” in 1995 to Michael. Hence in the Meta-NLP Practitioner course, you will learn how Meta-states work and how to use them effectively. In our internationally certified Self Leadership (Module 2) you learn the full 14 genius meta-state patterns that sets you off on a learning journey for a higher quality of life!
State as a mind-body phenomenon
And as we began modeling the structure of subjective experience, we start with neuro-linguistic states, that is, states of mind, body, and emotion. These mind-body or neuro-linguistic states summarize what we mean by “experience.”
What mechanisms drive these states?
Thoughts (mental representations, ideas, meanings, etc.) as processed and embodied in our nervous system. So together, mind-and-physiology/neurology create our “states”. When our consciousness goes out to some reference outside of us (a person, event, or thing), we experience a primary state.
Most of all something new and wonderful and magical begins to happen when our thoughts-and-feelings come back to reference themselves, now we have a meta-state.
What is a meta-state?
In a meta-state, our awareness reflects back onto itself. We call this self- reflexive consciousness. Thinking-about-thinking generates thoughts-feelings at higher logical levels so that we experience states-about-states. Rather than referring to something “out there” in the world, Meta-States refer to something about (@) some previous thought, emotion, concept, understanding, etc. Alfred Korzybski(1933) talked about meta-states as “abstractions about abstractions” or a second-order abstraction.
Therefore to model human excellence we have to “go meta” (Bateson) and recognize the meta-levels as they play in the systemic nature of consciousness (i.e. it operates reflexively and recursively).
Finally, to learn the art of using Meta-States join us in the fun filled internationally certified Meta-NLP Practitioner, where you learn the skill of Meta-States to International Benchmark Standards amongst other high quality communication skills not offered anywhere else
