Experience happens via the senses. The five senses comprise the interface between our central nervous system and the external world. The NLP terms for the 5 senses are:
- Visual (sight)
- Auditory (hearing)
- Kinesthetic (touch, pressure, heat, balance, feelings)
- Olfactory (smell)
- Gustatory (taste)
There is also a sixth sense in NLP, which is:
- Auditory Digital (self-talk)
Our senses produce neurological events, some of which are encoded as memories (especially when mixed with strong emotions), and others discarded as incidental information not worthy of memory.
