The coaching technique that I use is trademarked as Multi Level Neuroprocessing (MLNP) and it harnesses the power of the nervous system to bring about powerful, permanent change. Information in the nervous system travels from the brain to the body (top down), and from the body to the brain (bottom up).
MLNP is a behavioural change process integrating top-down and bottom-up methods.
MLNP is grounded, bottom-up, being aware of what is going on in the body (somatic mindfulness). The body is our connection to reality.
MLNP also uses top-down inquiry to help dissolve the fixed, narrow ideas about others and the world that limit our life.
At the intersection of these two processes: the awareness of the body’s reactions simultaneously with awareness of emotional responses and thoughts, the client makes meaning of their internal world.
In an MLNP session a client will not have only a mental experience, nor only a bodily awareness; he will experience the coming together of
- the body’s direct sensory and emotional responses to internal and external events,
- the mind’s attention to and synthesis of the information gathered by the senses, and
- the level of congruence between these channels of experience and their integration to form the awareness of a particular state of being, a situation, or a problem.
