How things can change...

I received some great updates from some clients in the last 2 days, a lovely example of one is below, from someone I trained this summer 2013 at her home as she couldn't leave the house and had been ill for many, many years, unable to see family, or have visitors at all. She was just too unwell with serious CFS/ME and it was too much for her. She hadn't been outside her house for a long long time.
She has given permission for me to use the email although for her privacy I have changed her name and some details :

Hi Heather,

I hope everything is good with you? I have had an amazing month! We actually went away for a night recently and had such a lovely time we have booked to go back for two nights for my birthday! A lovely old stately home with rooms in the gardens you can stay with dogs and lovely grounds for dog walking, I will attach a photo of Molly and I walking in the grounds and you will see how things have changed since you came to see me in June!

We also went for our first three course meal on Sunday as part of our extended celebrations! The weekend before that we met my family for lunch, the first time we have all been together for eight years!

I remember I spoke to you before about wanting to cut out my morning break/rest but not quite managing it, well I cut it out a few weeks ago and have adjusted brilliantly, just one to go in the afternoon now! My parents have now taken away my shower and sink chairs too which were just hanging around the house before, it was lovely to see them go!

I have been meeting lots of people on my dog walks with Molly and am noticing that I'm starting to integrate more things into my day. I can't tell you how dramatically my life has changed since you came to see me in June and I know it will keep doing so. I am always so grateful to you - you were definitely the practitioner for me!

This weekend I am going to go to a shopping centre for the first time as I want to look at the laptops and buy some walking boots! I am also going to to go to the cinema for the first time too!

Take care.

Love 
Bella Xx

To receive these sorts of email always gets me feeling SO happy! I know how bad it can be to have an awful illness like CFS/ME as I had it for so many years myself. Every person who gets well is a victory against a cruel, misunderstood illness! It was great working with Bella as she really did what she needed to do, followed the process perfectly and got herself out of the spiral of illness!She is now reaping the rewards!

Free talks about the Lightning Process

I've teamed up with another local practitioner called Elizabeth, to give some free talks to promote more awareness in Hertfordshire of 'The Lightning Process' and what it can help people achieve.

It's fun to work with someone else and we are both looking forward to our first talk on Wednesday 30 Jan at the 'Holiday Inn' in Hemel Hempstead. More information about this and the other talks on my website www.definitivechange.co.uk

I had a lovely update email from Gina in December, she took the Lightning Process course with me in 2011 for her ME/CFS which had forced her into an early retirement and had prevented her doing exercise or having much enjoyment from life at all. That changed straight after the course...

Hi Heather,
Thank you for keeping in touch!  I've been meaning to let you know that I'm now doing tennis lessons and Spanish lessons as well as my part time job. 
Tennis is a big deal for me: I'd got seriously put off (was doing being put off!) by bad teaching at school and I believed that I was and would always be rubbish at tennis. So I'd avoided tennis as much as I could. Then I was playing with some children and I thought, well I play better than a five year old! So I did some LP and although I don't love tennis like I did diving, I'm getting better and will become a competent player. Neil is very happy because he adores tennis!
And I'm loving learning Spanish! I've always enjoyed learning languages and we have a very good teacher which makes it so much easier.
Work is challenging but I remember that feeling challenged by it is my choice! And I'm doing a lot less stress. I told one of my colleagues that I'd decided not to stress about something and she said, "You can't just decide not to be stressed." I told her, "Yes, I can!" It's all good!
I'm also writing a novel in November as I do most years, and on Saturday Neil and I are going to be spending a day at Somerset House where there is an ice rink. 
If you want to use any of this in encouraging other people, please feel free. The LP really does work as long as you actually do it. I am so glad that I went on that three day course because it really did change my life.

With very warmest wishes,
Gina
