Kinesthetic Representational System

The representational systems of NLP include the kinesthetic system, or feelings.

When we talk about kinesthetic in NLP we include any feelings, both sensory (touch, weight, temperature, balance etc) as well as emotional (happiness, sadness, confidence fear etc).

We include both sensory and emotional feelings in the same category as we believe that the two are closely linked. What we mean by this is that we know we are feeling confident because, well because of how we feel.

So confidence has a particular set of sensory feelings associated with it. As does fear, as does happiness or sadness.

When we realize the truth of this, we can begin to change our emotional state by changing the way we feel on a sensory level.
