Thanks Damon! I like to approach the representational system from the point that we are all and think it is important to learn and experience from and with them. Long did I thought I am primarily visual but I am actually more kinesthetic; I am visual on the surface and as of this I often start from there before I really 'land'. Kinesthetic is where it really makes the difference. And interestingly auditative is the one that triggers the most getting out of a resourceful state.
Thank you Damon for bringing great clarity to this rather fundamental concept especially the section around being kinesthetic in an emotional and evaluative way. In essence meaning that we are all kinesthetic. That can still lead to confusion and it is so easy if operating without a proper explanation which you have done. Thank you sooo much. D
I'm getting a better understanding of learning about NLP watching all these videos! But I'm feeling scattered. 😕 I'd like to start with a real basic introduction.
I just started my NLP studies, and I am so glad I found your channel to go over what I learned in the course ☺️ Oh, I think I use visuals a lot because I would usually say: long story short? what is your point ( hurry on 🙄) 😂😂 But I realized doing exercises that I like when I practice to “feel things” and give myself time to think. I feel calmer and I make wiser decisions. Indeed, balance is the key!
I'm glad you found my channel too. We all use visuals. Except for rare cases of rare disorders we store and retrieve information from all five senses. Sometimes people tend to lean on one sense more than the rest, but we all use all of them. The phrases you mentioned like "long story short" don't have sensory predicates so they are neutral when it comes how you represent that information. In other words, there's nothing visual about that statement. It could be represented auditorily as well. Be careful with feelings or the kinesthetic representation. There is kinesthetic evaluative/emotional, which everyone does. And there is kinesthetic perceptual, which is tactile sensations and proprioception. Many people think they're kinesthetic because they refer to their emotional/evaluative feelings, but that's not what being kinesthetic means because in that regard, everyone is kinesthetic. We're always evaluating and feeling emotions in order to make decisions.
As always ..... this was really good information and I so resonate with your perspectives. Thanks Damon! I have been trying to use Rep systems to be able to guage a prospect’s primary rep, guess it takes quite a bit of practice. Quite a lot of what you mentioned can surely be useful even when we are on a phone call, and mirror/ match tonality, pace etc? Probably may apply to the online zoom calls we’ve now started having in place of face to face meetings. It would be awesome if you could do a video on the same subject - just focused on telephonic / online meeting scenarios. Thanks again for all that you bring out for us 😊🙏
Thank you. Meeting online, if you can see the person works exactly the same way as it does when you meet in person. If you can't see them as in being on the phone with voice only, You have to really focus on their voice. Slow, breathy talking usually means accessing feelings. Fast, nasal or high pitch tone usually means visual. Melodic and resonate usually means auditory.
We all use all of them. Most of us are well integrated, though we will tend to lean on one more than the others in most contexts. It's unfortunate though when people take their first NLP course they're quick to identify themselves as one and they're constantly trying to judge others for which one they are. Bad idea.
I had never heard of any of this until I watched Charisma on Demand's video on "How to be Popular as an Introvert"!! They completely blew my mind open!! Now I'm watching this to learn more~ :D
OMG!!!!!!!!! I'm often VERY Kinesthetic!! XD But I'm also Auditory & Visual~ Maybe 40% Kinesthetic, 30% Auditory, 30% Visual~ In social situations? I'm often looking down & to the right... Unless I'm teaching. When I'm teaching? I'm more Auditory & Visual.
Everyone is kinesthetic. Make sure you're differentiating kinesthetic evaluative from kinesthetic perceptual. Everyone is kinesthetic emotional/evaluative.
@@DamonCart Will do! I've a lot to learn, but I thoroughly understand that we all use all the different forms at various times. I'll continue to learn~ I'm studying to become a counselor and I feel this information will better help me to assist others in understanding themselves. I want to get the info right, not work off of partial or complete misunderstandings!
Helpful as always. Curious. Though I'm sure it's well balanced, what would you consider your personal primary system? Or maybe the one you were more prone to use before you grew in NLP?
Glad you found it helpful. I thought I was very visual before I started learning NLP but as I learned it I also discovered I was very kinesthetic at times and also very auditory digital (talk to myself). I would say I was probably auditory the least and that has remained so up until just recently; ever since I started learning another language. Learning another language will definitely enhance your auditory processing.
@@DamonCart So fascinating! I'm incredibly visual with a high auditory. I often watch videos and listen to podcasts on 1.5 or 2x because it otherwise feels too slow for me! I have to really try hard to work on the kinesthetic (which has been greatly helped by my learning and now teaching yoga on the side). I could see how learning another language would be very helpful for auditory processing growth for sure! Thanks!
@@DamonCart I saw references to it being a 5th representational system and wondered how it fitted in. Most things I read only mention the standard four.
@@andrejburke Some of us talk to ourselves more than others. We usually have a different way of categorizing sounds like music from our own internal dialogue. When we talk to ourselves we typically become disassociated which can be useful but often isn't. When we hesitate, in other words, we're often talking to ourselves. Like I mentioned this can be very useful at the right time and it can create problems when not used at the right time.
Nice talk, thanks. When I talk to someone, I have the tendency to close my eyes. I do this so I can hear more, but at the same time to visualize what the other person is saying. Does that show visual or auditory representation?
I find when someone is telling me something, l have to close my eyes to imagine it in picture so if l was chatting to you,we could end up chatting to each other with our eyes shut!!
As I mention in the video we usually do a combination rather than just one. Often there will be one we use as an indicator and one for primary processing. For example you may use visual to indicate or make sensory meaning of what the person is saying and at the same time you may use auditory to fully understand what the person is saying (processing).
Hi Damon. Thank you for this video. How can we work to be more balanced? I lean more on the kinesthetic side and can feel insecure when I am with someone more visual who is able to speak and process information much more quickly.
@@DamonCart I FEEL like I need things to go through my body before I really know how to respond. I like to make my space (smell, lighting, colors) conducive to work/study. I also think I like speaking with people more than reading, because I like that physical connection.
@@creativeexplorationswithka7667 it sounds like you're already balancing. Lighting and colors is visual, not kinesthetic. Speaking to people is auditory, not kinesthetic. I think you're doing it and not realizing it.
Hi Damon, great video. Any suggestions on how to make rep systems more conscious and vivid? ...For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils. -W. Wordsworth
Hi, I have a question in regards of Autism and ADHD, many times there could be a hyper sensitivity with certain sounds and textures, due to the condition itself yet as you are saying in this videos it could be indicative of the personal traits , how can you read that ? so that you can communicate better ? thank you for your videos they are very helpful.

@@DamonCart i work in insurance, ask any top dogs to give you their true thoughts on it they can tell you its bs, but companies still push the course anyways because its mandatory to do so just like how high school still teach us crap that are useless in society lol.
@@loucipher7782 I had an insurance agency for 11 years. How does insurance have anything to do with your conclusion that NLP is bs? The "top dogs" told you? That certainly clears it up now doesn't it. Well I didn't turn to top dogs. I know from experience.
NLP can be used to manipulate depending on a person's intention using it. Example: I could use a flower to manipulate a girl to like me even though my intention is to dump her the day after we sleep with each other. She might say, 'Hey, that flower was BS.' No, at the same time I can give my wife of 22 years a flower for Valentine’s day to sincerely express my affection for her. In short, NLP is the flower. It depends on the intention of the person using it.

Yes you will find some wonderful resources the more you tap into underused representational systems.
The way you described the way a person who is kinaesthetic speaks slow, that describes me.

True - I need to consciously practice this more 🤔
