NLP practitioners are great Storytellers, we engage people via stories that help others change their own internal experience.
Frequently through people imagining themselves in better situations which begins the process of change.

This is Important for everyone who has a desire to succeed.

The Representative systems give us exceptional juice to access Gestalts, bundles of sensory information which make quick work out of having a person connect to an experience and change how they are processing it to create the feeling they are feeling.

Not only That, it gives a sense of experience like it is really happening as you amplify the Representation systems..

From time to time people may tell us "I cannot make pictures", hear sounds, smell etc... has that ever happened to you ?

Or maybe you have been working on a pattern and felt unable to access intensity in a rep system you are less familiar with.
