Cristina and Deb,
I have success working with religious people when I switch into the mode of helping them to focus in on the coaching aspect of the NLP training.
I usually ask if it’s part of their religious/spiritual path to help individuals in the same way that Jesus has helped them. If they say yes, then I open up the conversation in the direction of them learning tools to help others who may or may not ever encounter having a spiritual awakening through the Lord/Jesus/God. (I use as many religious words as I know to respect their MOW)
Then if they’re open to hearing more I let them know that there are many people in this world who are suffering because of their negative emotions and limiting beliefs. From what I know about God, God doesn’t judge if I’m helping someone through their emotional healing via NLP, TLT, or Hypnosis. God doesn’t judge if I’m helping someone no matter their race, religion, age, or gender. Some people may never walk into a house of God to seek help. But what if you could help all of God’s children who needed help and wanted it and do it with a set of tools that work for anyone regardless of their spiritual beliefs. Would that be aligned with your spiritual purpose/path, yes or no?
I have had most success with that type of talk track. Many people realize that the God they follow doesn’t discriminate against humanity.
People who are suffering need help and if these tools can help, how do they know God didn’t put them on YOUR path to show them the way through your NLP Coaching training.
