To conceptualize the model we can say such things as the map is not the territory or the menu is not the meal. We can never describe things fully to completely understand the experience. Some of the main concepts of the NLP language model include:

1. Each reality of the world is different from every person, and different through their differing perceptions. The NLP model attempts to recognize the fact that it is possible for individuals perceive the same reality in a variety of differing methods which give people the ability to change their thoughts.

2. Sensory Experience – Our internal systems translate sensory information according to our learnt and inherent patterns. This fact has two major implications.
- The automatic internal patterns that we have imbedded in our brains determines to a large extent what is most significant and ‘thus worthy of transformation’ into the sensory experience.
- The distinctions we make worthy of ‘experiencing’ are determined largely not by our environment but are simply the end product of subconscious.

3. Experience of experience – We have internal representational systems that determine largely how experiences in the outer world are stored internally. Conscious awareness according to George Miller is only able to be aware of 7+-2 (Seven plus minus two) of information per second (Check my previous article about Advantages of NLP System to learn more).

4. Language – From this we can see that slippages can occur since experience can never be portrayed accurately. From this we must understand that language is a rule governed language and therefore incomplete. Although language is of deep benefit, it can cause miscommunication through slippage points whereby language doesn’t accurately portray the experience.
