Matching
A technique for creating rapport. To create rapport you match someone's physiology. This means if someone crosses their arms you cross your arms. If they raise their right arm you raise your right arm. This communicates to them unconsciously, "I'm like you, you can like me", therefore creating rapport.

Metaphor
Metaphors communicate with the unconscious mind whilst keeping the conscious mind busy with the "story". Metaphors can be used for enabling people to gain a deeper understanding of your point or even to assist people in making changes in their thinking at the unconscious level. Metaphors can be used one-to-one in therapy, coaching, management or sales and with groups in presentations.

Meta Programmes
Meta Programmes are one of the filters we use to delete, distort and generalise incoming information. When you know someone's Meta Programmes you can accurately predict how they will respond to information presented to them in a particular way, certain situations and scenarios. Meta Programmes can be elicited conversationally in 8 minutes or less and have tremendous use in sales, management, recruitment, team building and relationships.

Milton Model
Hypnotic language patterns modeled from Milton Erickson. Using these language patterns enables you to induce trance conversationally one-on-one or with groups. The Milton Model enables you to communicate with someone's unconscious mind whilst keeping his or her conscious mind busy. Because the language patterns are artfully vague they also cause the listener to go inside and fit what you are saying to their model of the world. Therefore using Milton Model patterns increases rapport and unconscious acceptance of your message.

Mirroring
A technique for creating and increasing rapport. Since 55% of our communication is in our physiology we can communicate likeness to someone by mirroring their physiology. Mirroring means adopting the mirror image of someone's physiology i.e. when someone raises their right arm you'd raise your left arm.

Mismatching
Mismatching someone's physiology would cause you to lose rapport with that person.
Modeling
Modeling was the process by which NLP was created. Bandler and Grinder modeled predominantly three models of excellence; Milton Erickson, Virginia Satir and Fritz Perls. They modeled their physiology, thought patterns and the way they structured their language. When Bandler and Grinder adopted the same physiology, thought patterns and language as the models of excellence they got the same results as the experts they had modeled. The output of the modeling projects was a collection of techniques which we now call NLP.
