Just as Neuro-Linguistic Programming exemplifies excellence in performance, so the new science of NPI exemplifies excellence in health. Health is positive. It comes naturally as the direct result of how we think and feel. It is a state of being. To try to separate body and mind in health and illness is like trying to separate the salt from the sea water with a knife. Mind and body are constantly influencing each other towards health or illness. NPI teaches that bodies do not get ill – people do.
