NLP Jedi Mind Tricks Stories

You came looking for NLP Jedi Mind Tricks stories. Here is one I will share with you.

A few years back, while going through my NLP Practitioner certification, I was still struggling to master NLP and understand how to structure my conversation and interrupt patterns. I was still under the spell of NLP and thought that it was the end all be all of everything. And while I discovered later that it was yet another tool that I could leverage to accomplish what I needed to get done, I experienced a little episode that just showed the power of what I had at hand.

One night, while leaving the NLP Practitioner training at some 11pm hours of the night, I was breezing through Wisconsin in-roads at top speed. The organic farm I stayed at was about 30-40 minutes away from the training center. Needless to say, I was eager to get to sleep and I was coasting away at over 75 mph.

Eventually, the famous blue and red lights started flashing in my rear-view mirror. A cop. S@&t!

Suddenly, an idea flashed through my mind.

The cop got out of his car and came to my window. As soon as he said: “Good evening…” I looked back in his eyes and said with the biggest smile in the world: “Good evening officer!!!! It’s so great to see you!!!!”

Immediately, you could see his eyes start spinning as his brain went into massive confusion. Pattern interrupt at its best.

He said: “You know you’re doing 75mph in a zone where the limit is 55mph?”

I replied: “Officer, I’m totally wrong about what I’m doing and I know everybody gives you such a hard time about what you do. You’re so right. Thank you for making sure Wisconsin roads are safe. I absolutely deserve this ticket.”

Now, he was really confused.

He asked: “Why are you so happy?”

I said: “Sir, I’m going through a personal excellence course right now that’s helping me discover incredible qualities in myself that I didn’t know about before. And I guess that’s why I’m a little overexcited about my driving. But that’s no excuse. I am compromising the safety here and you can write me up.”

He looked at me and said: “You know what… I’ll just let you go with a warning. But be a little more careful.”

I said: “You bet, officer. Thank you so much and have a good night!”

That’s what a beginner can do when trained properly in NLP. Massive pattern interrupt. Massive confusion.

And here’s the best part: no deception whatsoever.

You see, when you learn NLP with integrity, there’s no need for sneaky, covert, deceptive tactics. You just stand right in the open and get what you want.
