NLP is great stuff, but paraliminals are NLP. It's all intergrated.
NLP as I see it is just modeling. Everything else is an application of modeling. So if you mean you want to learn the strategies that have come as a result of model to better yourself, go right ahead. Discover the difference that makes the difference, and use it to learn and grow.
Paralimials will help you along that path, wherever it leads. If you learn NLP and apply it, applying being rather important, you will see good thing happen in your life. But why not use Paraliminals as well? It's all good stuff.
