What is the world of Neuro-Semantics?

Neuro-Semantics is actualizing your highest and best. It is making real your highest meanings and visions, and it is implementing your best values and ethics.

Neuro-Semantics is a field wherein we model the essential structure of experiences using positive psychology models that focus on accessing the best resources and the highest meanings.

As such, Neuro-Semantics is about performance—performing your highest meanings so that what you know you can do. It is about meanings—adding the most robust meanings to your life to make things more meaningful and significant.

Neuro-Semantics is Winning the Inner Game

to Achieve Peak Performance in the Outer Game

Your inner games are your semantics. Your inner game is your inner matrix of meaning frames. Your layers upon layers of meanings make up your inner world. Your outer games is your neurology. Here you actualize your inner meanings. First, you make meaning, then you perform that meaning via your actions.

All of this raises key Neuro-Semantic questions:

• If every behavior and response is the performance of a meaning, what meanings are you performing? What is the quality of that performance? Do you like what you are actualizing or would you like to transform what you are creating?

• If, as a meaning-maker, you create your Matrix, what is the quality of meanings that you are now living? Are there any new or higher meanings that you would like to perform? How meaningful is your life?

• How well are you translating your highest meanings into everyday actions as you close your Knowing-Doing gap?

• How self-actualized are you today and how much more potential are you ready to release?

Neuro-Semantics is Unleashing ever-higher Potentialities

Neuro-Semantics focuses centrally on the skills and processes for unleashing your potentials by mobilizing your best resources. If you are interested in becoming more resourceful, running your own brain, taking charge of your own life, and actualizing all of your latent potentials, the models and patterns of Neuro-Semantics are designed as tools and processes to achieve that.

• Models for understanding the nature of our minds, emotions, and bodies.
  
  
• Patterns for developing greater competence, self-confidence, resourcefulness, and success in careers, health and fitness, and relationships.
  
  
• Trainings, coaching, and consulting for living more mindfully and intentionally in adapting to an ever-changing world.
  
  
• Self-actualization of your best visions and values as you create the richest and most robust meanings for living a meaningful life.

The term "Neuro-Semantic"

Semantics refers to all of the meanings you create as a meaning-maker. What are your meanings about yourself, others, life, your career, health, wealth, relationships, etc.? Are they significant and robust? Are they exciting and enlivening? What meanings are you seeking to actualize in life? What meanings have you actualized? How well do the meanings that you are living serve you? How ecological are they?

Neurology (neuro-) refers to your body, physiology, and states. It is in and through your neurology that you feel, experience, and perform your meanings. What do you perform? What semantic reactions do you experience emotionally and as your skills? Do they reflect your best ideas and meanings? Or is there a big gap between what you know and what you do? Neuro-Semantics focuses on closing the Knowing-Doing gap.

The International Neuro-Semantic Community

Neuro-Semantics has now spread around the world into over 40 countries inspiring people with a Vision about modeling excellence and unleashing human potentials.

Before we work with others, we are first committed to the principle of apply to self. We first access our own resourceful and mastery states so we can walk our own talk. Embodying our meanings empowers us to be congruent and authentic in working with others. We first win at our own inner game and then take our performances to new levels of excellence and productivity in our outer game. If we can do that for ourselves, we’re much more prepared in assisting others.

Coaching in Neuro-Semantics is called Meta-Coaching. Training, Certification, and license as a Meta-Coach comes from graduating from the Meta-Coach Training System developed by Hall and Duval. For more about this see www.meta-coaching.org and www.meta-coachfoundation.org.

Training in Neuro-Semantics is conduced by Licensed Neuro-Semantic Trainers which comes from graduating from the NSTT (Neuro-Semantic Trainers’ Training). Licensed trainers are listed on www.neuro-semantics-trainings.com along with the International Scheduled of events and many, many articles on Neuro-Semantics.

Self-Actualization in Neuro-Semantics is described as unleashing potentials and the Neuro-Semantic models for self-actualizing has launched a new movement in achieving human potential. See www.self-actualizing.org and www.neuro-semantics-trainings.com for the list of Self-Actualization Institutes of Neuro-Semantics.

Materials on Neuro-Semantics include more than 3,000 pages of articles on this website, the equivalent of 7 or more books. Other books can be purchased via Neuro-Semantic Publications, Crown House Publications, etc.

Neurons is our free International Egroup. an excellent place to post questions about Neuro-Semantics, explore applications of Meta-States, and share stories of using the many Neuro-Semantics models. Sign up by clicking the button at the top right of this page.

The models come from the field of the Cognitive_Behavioral sciences, from Developmental Psychology, the neuro_sciences, General |Semantics, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), cognitive linguistics, cybernetics, and system dynamics. As such, Neuro-Semantics is an inter-disciplinary field. The first and core model of Neuro-Semantics is the Meta_States model developed in 1994 by L. Michael Hall, Ph.D. As a newer development of NLP, Neuro-Semantics has added a new level of professional ethics and taken NLP to new levels.
