Every expression is a
process of conditioning our mind. If we practice speaking kindly then mind
becomes resourceful automatically and so any past conditioning for pain or
punishment is dissolved and we become automatically a positive person.

REPRESENTATIONAL SYSTEM
NLP says
we do not experience the world directly, rather it happens through our
senses.
Our senses are the doorways of our perception.
Senses are the modes with which we cognize the world.
All we know of the world we know through our senses.
Senses represent the world to us & so 5 senses are called REPRESENTATIONAL

We have
five main sensory modalities.

When we think, or process information internally, we “re-present” the
information in terms of the sensory systems – our representational
systems.
They are our only contact with the “outside world. In NLP we refer to these as the main
