I have fallen in love…

Popping Friendship Flower

Popping Friendship Flower

This snotty nosed dusty little boy held the flower bud in his fingers and pressed it. It popped. “Friend—popping means friend”, his mother explained in a stuttering of English but mostly Malayalam. “Krishna is your friend—we are all friends” Amazing what we can understand through the non verbal behaviour. Love transcends words. And love is what I feel so very powerfully here. And love is what I will bring back with me to the UK and to France, New Zealand and Australia and wherever else I may be this year and in the future. India thrives on love. It is given generously and received graciously. I have fallen in love with India in the deepest possible way and I am humbled by the beauty of the nature of the fisher folk who have welcomed us into their community this winter. Krishna's little sister rushed to the tree and pulled bunches of the flowers… popping them all… we are indeed their friends and they ours… riches beyond measure …

Please forgive us—My Kerala Experience
by Mark Ridley

As I sat on the plane to Kochi on New Year’s Eve I castigated myself for agreeing to attend the NLP Intensive. I had left my family at home enduring the worst winter for the best part of forty years, I had an in-tray that had grown exponentially over the Christmas holiday and, to cap it all, I was feeling unwell. Twelve days of enforced smiles and positive thinking loomed large; and as if to add insult to injury I was aware that the glass of red wine I was holding in my hand would be my last in a while. An alcohol-free, vegetarian hotel—what had I been thinking? …Keep reading

NLP for Bikers who Give Lifts!
by Richard Rudman

I’d never seen the Indian ocean so still before, as flat as the ‘proverbial’ mill pond. I feel relaxed and contented swimming in the warm water. I chuckle to myself as I hear Swami Gi voice saying ‘My buttocks are relaxed’. My whole body is relaxed. It’s 8.30 in the sunshine and we’ve just finished our morning yoga on the beach.

“I’m going to head back and rent a motor bike” Tristram said as he turned to swim ashore.
“You’re not bunking off our last day on the NLP course are you?” I asked.
“No, just renting a bike to get around on” he replied

Then my stillness was disturbed as the idea sparked and grew in my stomach. I’d never taken a day off school before. Never ‘thrown a sicky’ at work. I’d always thought that it must be amazing to travel though India on a motor bike. Now here was my chance to try it for a day.… Keep reading

Getting to street kids
before the streets get to them
by Rebecca Klug

A man called David happened to be passing through Mumbai on his way home to the UK. He'd been in Australia on business and decided to stop off there for a couple of days. He was excited and fascinated by the colours, sounds and experiences that India presented to him, but like so many other visitors to the subcontinent, saddened by the poverty he saw all around.… Keep reading

Harry Key

Harry Key—Bollywood Star

I’m getting smeared with green slime by Miss Australia-India, and I’m wondering: How is this relevant to NLP? I’ve become fond of Sue’s belief that everything is a metaphor, so I’m on set desperately trying to figure out how I can possibly integrate my current situation with the five main things I need to get said in under 1000 purposefully chosen and hand-typed words of varying relevance.

Now that you’re comfortably caressing my second paragraph with your attractive and evidently effective eyes, indulge yourself in my awkward introduction: I’m Harry Key – Bollywood actor cum Provocateur (I’m in India where they staunchly stand by the classical usage of that word). I’m on a film set after breaking my own rule: Never let your decisions rest on a need for money. Last time I did that I ended up in a terrible infomercial that is still playing worldwide. Luckily (for me not you) it’s affording me some writing time.

I came and did Sue’s Kerala Intensive in December, and it is changing my life (I usually abhor clichéd sentiments, but here it fits). Sue’s faith in other people’s potential for greatness, and her ability to actuate that greatness is really inspiring me, so now I’m a Provocative voice coach!…Keep reading

Some of you have been to the SOS childrens home in Kerala and know the amazing work that is being done there for homeless children. Of the several hundred there there are over 20 who do not have a sponsor (someone to help with their education and medical fees and more than anything someone to write to them and visit if possible). If you are interested and would like to know more contact me

NLP Practice Group

A group of people from the NLP Train the Trainer in India in January met recently to discuss setting up a new NLP Practice Group for those in the Hampshire, Surrey, Bucks, Berks area. Everyone agreed this would be a good idea – even Rebecca who had travelled all the way from Welshpool for the evening! – the second meeting will take place late April in the South Reading area – details will go on the email soon. To find out more and to add your name to the mail list, please do contact June_May@btinternet.com.
