NLP External Auditory Representation System | NLP is Fun

People who prefer to use their hearing for internal Processing tend to indicate or even point towards their ears.
Their ears are attached and they are attached to their ears.
So much so that while listening their eyes will often shift from side to side.



As in Eye accessing cues going to Auditory Construct = Listen to (Right ) and Auditory Recall = Remembered Info (Left).
The sounds they experience are super important to them which means so are your words and Tonality.
So make sure you are following their own preferred style of communication by listening to when they breathe and speak at their own volume etc.

Their Primary Focus is in this area of processing, in order to understand and be understood faster is to use this Modality as a lead in your communication.

Also they have a quite dense way of communicating frequently in long winded explanations as opposed to direct short and sweet answers.

It could be said they enjoy the sound of their own words, on the outside too.
They also spend a great deal of time listening to their own words on the inside of their head.

If it seems they are inside more than Outside then they will be considered Internal Auditory Digital.
who are influenced by what is going on inside their head more than people who are Auditory and Externally Influenced.

External Auditory are very good at listening and they are looking for the whole story, an extremely detailed explanation, that answers all of their questions in your communication.

The NLP Communication Model 
They are interested in knowing how the whole process works and in what order they can expect it.
Then will do an internal Transderivational search (do you remember the NLP Communication Model ) which you will witness (if you are paying attention) In their accessing cues.

Frequently you will find their breathing responding to the Rhythm of the speakers tonality as they begin to process what they just heard.
This shows them "Trying it on"
If you want them to learn something new it is a good idea to play up to their hearing capabilities for them to be more "In tune" to what you are saying.

Remember if there is a great deal of noise competing with the Speaker, these listeners will become overwhelmed and distracted, so make sure you are in a place where they can hear you clearly.


You may already know that Auditory People are interested in Reading, Learning, Music, and Understanding new concepts.
They may always have a set of headphones on because sound quality means quality all the way around to them.
They are responsive in debates and have their own ideas with which they will want to compare new information to understand it perfectly.

Of course you will also use the Auditory Predicates to use their preferred words that describe their experience.You can re use the ones they have already picked if you like.

If you find that this reminds you of yourself, you can use this simple exercise to change the meaning in experiences you have had in the past that rubbed you the wrong way.
Once you get the hang of it you can use it every time because it is super easy to do.

Here is How to change the Movie Music

If you think about How a Movie Anchors you to the Music which heightens your viewing pleasure, you can do something similar in your own head.

1. Pick a Memory that you were extremely unhappy about.
a)Think about it, while noticing all images and sounds play it till then end as if it is a Movie.
b) Now Take Note of how you Feel after experiencing it all.

2. Pick a Song that is Upbeat (perhaps from a happy movie you liked) or your favorite Dance Tune, or a Hilarious Cartoon for example.
***Please note the new music has the power to change your state in a big way.
I like this one and the best part about it, is that I cannot keep still when I hear it.
Music that changes Physiology has a Massive amount of power for instant State change.
Remember pick the one you prefer.


 3.Now Crank it up at Top Volume so much so that You are feeling pretty Great and then, play the movie again all the way till the end of the song.

4. If you want to, do it as many times as you like, because I bet you your feelings will change each time.
a) Play it until you only have a connection to the Happy Tune
b) Turn the music off when you feel ready and rewind the movie to the beginning and notice how you feel
c) If that tune doesn't work, pick another tune one that you want to play with, maybe Rocky, (Gonna Fly now) which is another empowering favorite of mine.

NLP Eye Accessing Cues | NLP is Fun

Eye Accessing Cues describe a systemic process in which John Grinder and Richard Bandler discovered that people will move their eyes in a sequence of directions as they are accessing information.

This is especially useful to discover how a person is speaking thinking, and ultimately how they make decisions and put their strategies together.

Helpful to people who want to know their Truth such as in a court case
Helpful in Therapy to find out their internal processing style and internal sorting technique
Helpful in Coaching often for similar reasons
Helpful in Human resources to gain information on Strategy
Helpful in Sales for Buying Strategy
Helpful in negotiation and Influence for obvious reasons.

In fact it is useful in all communication.

It is noteworthy to say that you will find some people culturally or because of Brain hemisphere have reversed eye accessing cues and in this and every case simple calibrating will prove effective before learning strategies.

It was also noted that when using Sensory predicates the eye accessing cues would match too.
Below you can see a chart of how the information is processed.


It is a fun way to play around with NLP to ask questions that evoke responses and calibrate how the person you are speaking to accesses information.

1. What does your dogs bark sound like
2. What does your Mum look like
3. What did you do on your Birthday
4. Where are you Going on your Holiday
5. Say your Twelve times table
6. Who was president of USA in 1988

You can make your own fun lists this is just an example, the tip is to make sure they access different information to see how they are organized.

If you are having difficulty readying the eye movements choose much more specific questions and take your time to calibrate responses, your predicates are important too, to begin with keep it simple and continue to notice what you notice.

Everyone has a unique systemic processing style, some people almost hide their eyes and turn them down or shift sooooooo slightly it is barely noticeable.
In this case you will likely find they are using another signal to transmit this information, it can be the slightest muscle tone or head gestures even pay attention you will begin to notice more and more.

You can also Influence people in this way to by a Suggestion as in Milton model Language for Conversational Hypnosis or Waking Trance states.

"Do you remember a time when ....." and leave a space for the person you are speaking with to access that information.

Of course always make sure you have tons of rapport and that the person you are working with is comfortable.

Then note which side they shift too, this is also a great calibration technique if you cannot tell how they are organized.

Do you know this is used by government officials as part of a calibration system to track the Truth about what you are saying.

The trick is to practice while watching Tv or something, I often find it interesting to tun the sound down completely and watch a Panel like sports or news and notice the various ways that people are responding and communicating with each other.

The Whole picture is important to note in all communication, we are noticing if Body, Speech, breathing, Color, Rhythm, movement, eye patterns, Eye size, Muscle tone, posture, Tonality and so much more all line up to tell the same story.

We are looking most often for incongruence, this is a clue to investigate further.

In time you become really good at Calibrating peripherally and unconsciously.

A bit about the back office stuff:
Here is a Link from Robert Dilts's website telling us more about Neuro scientific research development in this Area

Brain Hemispheres and their Function:

The Brain is where we process our internal and external stimuli it is the processing hub so to speak.
The Cortex of each hemisphere of which there are 4 called Lobes.

The Frontal Lobe is considered our emotional Control center and where much of our Personality is processed. Tasks such as problem solving, memory, language, spontaneity, judgement, social and sexual Behavior, Impulses are stored here.
They are also especially vulnerable due to large space they take up in the front lobe of the brain.

The Parietal Lobe located on the back side of the brain has 2 functional regions:
Sensory and Perception
Integrating sensory input, mostly with the visual system.
This lobe functions to turns sensory input into an aligned perception which we call cognition, The second is to represent the world around us as a Spatial coordination center.
Abnormalities in body Image for example can originate here.

The Temporal Lobe located front side above the ear. highly functionality in the area of Memory processing of sensory information. All sensory input.
A damaged Temporal Lobe can cause loss of speech or language use and organization, lack of recognition in faces and loss of musical ability depending on where the damage is located.

Occipital Lobe located at the back of the head and the center of our Visual perception system, Disorders of the Occipital Lobe can cause Hallucinations and illusions as well as loss of Vision, Visual distance perception distortions, lack of color,
word blindness and loss of writing ability.
