as:“ Interaction between two or more people in the form of actions, words and writings” whereas the later stands for“ communication taking place within our self”, as“ Intrapersonal communication is a communicator ' s internal use of language or thought. It can be useful to envision intrapersonal communication occurring in the mind of the individual in a model which contains a sender, receiver, and feedback loop”.
This intrapersonal communication, seem to hold the key to the lock of shaping our destiny. Words are the most powerful agents which perform this complex task of communication. Hence, everything boils down to the“ quality of the language” we use to communicate with our inner self known as subconscious mind. This seemingly simple but difficult process based on the“ coordinates of communication” has given rise to umpteen number healing modalities in the modern world. Neuro Linguistic Programming( NLP) is one of them which has gained wide popularity in the corporate circles due to its simple brain teasing communication techniques which are used to program our mind through linguistic patterns.
Once followed, this“ linguistic pattern” carves the way through the secrets of the potential of human subconscious mind. It is said that“ the secret of NLP success is not the content but the delivery”. The dialogue delivery essentially comprises of the instructions served to the person( patient) in a carefully crafted manner of words and a few other related modalities like tone, pitch, pace, pauses etc.
This holy nexus of word modalities create a resonating effect on the person’ s mind. The dialogue delivery through words in NLP has mutated into 20-25 processes, which, range from deleting the past traumatic memories to the present life management and the future projection. This“ three in one”( reshaping past, present and future) effect has the words as essential founding elements.
It is unfortunate that our students in the schools and colleges have been taught clumsily by“ synonyms” i. e. words having the same meanings. It is said that“ No two words having the same meaning”. The word“ admonish” and“ scold” don’ t have the same meaning whereas they find the place as synonyms in the thesaurus.
