Expanding Conscious Freewill

Being human is a rich and somewhat complicated experience of choices, emotions, opportunities, and results.

Our experience as human beings hold a blend of exciting and fulfilling possibilities. Yet, some people feel trapped in a loop of unwanted experiences; hooked in a loop of apparently baseless and useless patterns that render them hopeless; working harder through sheer willpower and with very little to show at the end.

How come it is this way for so many? 

Beneath the surface of conscious reasoning lies a complex and deeply ingrained system that is heavily driven by survival patterns. Each person has a distinctly structured system that shapes what experiences are and are not appropriate for them to have.

While some of the aspects shaping our life experience evolve through time, some pieces don’t have the same degree of plasticity, and many aspects that developed into learned survival associations tend to manifest as repeating experiences with an invisible cause. This can feel particularly troublesome for people that believe that they are, and must be, in control of their emotions, and that not doing so means they are weak or their is something wrong in them.

What can be done to have a more fulfilling and less constrained experience?

The notion that our reasoning mind must rule over our emotions has over 2,000-years. More inclusive approaches that recognize the body and mind as parts of a dynamic system that can effectively operate outside the constraints imposed by the sense of guilt and shame have evolved in the last 150 years.

At NLP-Yatá we assist our clients uncover the patterns driving their experience; and, without having to remember to be different, our clients develop greater appreciation and internal resources to reach and maintain a greater sense of alignment with themselves and the experiences they want to create.

Hey There,

I’m Álvaro, the founder of NLP-Yatá. I mostly work with artists, entrepreneurs, scholars, and small business owners that realize that sheer determination and willpower have not yielded the results they want and are seeking to deepen their understanding of their situation and expand their resources and opportunities.

Through our work, my clients develop a deeper understanding of their situation and an updated version of themselves, uncovering untapped resources that empower them to make decisions that are better aligned with their genuine values and goals.

Conscious Freewill: What Does It Mean?

By design, our choices always produce the best feeling available on our menu of options at the time. These options are shaped by how we filter and interpret information through connections we are mostly unaware of.

Freewill is our ability to make decisions and to act on them, while conscious Freewill takes this a step further.  Conscious Freewill includes having a greater degree of awareness of what we aim to achieve that goes beyond fulfilling a short-term urge. By paying attention to how these filters operate we can uncover the experiences we truly want to create; and when we exercise our conscious freewill, our actions are deliberately aligned with our principles and core values.

What is NLP

Neurolinguistic Programming or NLP is a behavioral perception toolbox that is well adapted for understanding and working with human experience. These tools are widely used for developing learning skills, improving performance in fields like sales and sports, and more recently in the sphere of executive coaching.

Developed in the mid-2010s by Dr. Carl Buchheit, Transformational NLP contains the entire conventional NLP toolbox and concepts of childhood development and family dynamics psychology, neurophysiological understandings of the development and operation of the human brain and nervous system, system dynamics insights, metaphysical views of the human experience, and quantum physics concepts of time, and cause and effect.

Through this multidisciplinary approach, the main focus of T-NLP is to appreciate and include all aspects of being human so people can integrate more fulfilling choices into their life experience.
