Sleight of Mouth is a set of language patterns developed by Robert Dilts when working with the co-creators of NLP, Richard Bandler and John Grinder. Having just completed a week-end workshop run by the charming Doug O'Brien, hosted by Trance-Forming NLP's Nick Kemp, I thought it would be fun to show you what can be done. It is not actually necessary, nor even desirable to run all 16 language patterns into one sentence, but I thought it would be fun to do so, and also good practice for me in stacking the patterns - something which can be very powerful in any situation where you want to increase your capacity to influence outcomes. You can use these patterns in sales, management, teaching and training, hypnotherapy and any interaction where you want to maintain rapport and prompt change. |

| Apparently the prefix 'para' can mean two almost opposing things. Have you ever wondered what would happen if your past opposed your future? Have you ever wondered whether your living room is actually alive? The answers to these and many more intriguing problems are hinted at, glossed over, and neatly circumvented in this week's story of a latter day love Goddess. |

| Who are you when you are at your very best? And how do you do it? Is it just an accident, or do you have a secret formula for stepping into that other, fully functioning, amazing 'you', achieving everything you ever dreamt of? |

| Are you living a life you don't really mind or mining the life you really want to live? There are rich seams to be mined if you are willing to pick up the shovel and start digging. And having a sense of well being while you are being the real you deep down in the well of your total being, means staying in tune with what matters and paying attention to the life you already have whilst building the life you really want. And if you want to know what it really means, forget about meantones and read on. |

| Change can be easy or you can make it difficult. If you want to make it really difficult, just sit around and lodge a few complaints before having a really good moan about everything and everyone. If you can't even be bothered to moan, you could go for a bodge. But sooner or later, it comes down to what Robert Dilts calls logical levels: six different levels at which you can intervene to achieve whatever it is you want to achieve. |

| The ID-entity crisis is looming. If politicans get their way, your libIDinous self may soon be openly scrutinised and recorded by faceless officals at the Home office, at airports and everytime you try to launder some dodgy money. But help is at hand! The alternative is the HBT ID card. This miraculous card enables you to give healthy room to your most basic drives and instincts, free from guilt and safe in the knowledge there wherever you E-go, we will E-go with you. |

| Superpositioning allows for the possibility of solutions before you have thought of the problem. The logic of this exercise is that problems are illusory and that positive action precludes any negative aspects of our history and simply utilises the best of our resources and experience. |

| We all baulk the system from time ot time. The Chinese long held an attitude that whatever entity seized control and held onto it was, de facto, the legitimate, universally ordained power. And of course Trotsky, amongst others, declared 'permanent revoluion'. So when organisations shift from serving their members and begin to focus on their own organisational intersts, perhaps it is time to raise the banners and storm the winter palace. |

| Have you ever wondered whether there is another you, existing somewhere else, experiencing what you experience, but in a different space/time-frame? Possibly not, but the laws of quantum mechanics suggest that a sub-atomic particle can actually be in two places at once. And if we can just work out how to sit very, very still and not interact with anything at all, we could, theoretically, discover that other part of ourselves which already knows what the answer is, before we have had time to work out the question. |

| Raising your game is always worthwhile. When was the last time you put your heart and soul into a different approach? Taking risks, opening up to new experiences and keeping you ear to the ground always pays off in the long run. You don't have to be razor sharp to realise that a little risk can open up a whole new world of opportunity. After all, no-one ever achieved anything hiding under the duvet. |
