Hi everyone
Welcome to the recovery pages of my website. If you have arrived here then your are probably looking for information about how the lightning process and other techniques have created amazing positive changes in people's lives. I have seen many people apply their training to great effect - in all sorts of areas of their lives, moving forward from very diabilitating health conditions like fibromyalgia, M.E. and related conditions and other issues such as anxiety and depression accompanying chronic illness, and digestive problems.
Stories of recovery were a inspiration to me as I worked hard to find a way to recover my own health. I have taken more than 200 people through the Lightning Process now and below are just a few of the many wonderful stories of that I have received from my clients who I have trained to to recover from their issues.
I have also links for the experiences of Austin Healey, Emily Rantzen and Strictly Come Dancing choreographer Chris Marques, whose stories have been featured in the National UK Press, and links to videos of people who have recovered using the process.
Best Wishes
Jenny

The following recovery stories related to people with diagnoses of M.E. Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and a range of other issues. The Lightning Process regards M.E., Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Post Viral Syndrome as the same condition and we refer to all of these as M.E. Many people with health conditions including M.E. will have noticed how their issues are not precisely the same as anyone else's. So we recommend that you use the stories not to find an identical case to yours (as there won't be one) but to get a sense of the range of cases that have successful recovered using the process - you don't have to be as ill, less ill or more ill than the people in the stories to get the same results. Over the years we have found the Lightning Process to be helpful with a whole range of issues. It's such a powerful process it helps people pretty much anywhere where they feel "stuck" in there lives - from physical health disorders like M.E. and M.S. to other things like anxiety, guilt depression or low self esteem. Many of our clients have made huge changes that they would have thought were not possible before doing the Lightning Process. A recovery from M.E & CFS to many people suffering with M.E & CFS sounds like a hopeless dream. However the Lightning Process has helped many people who's lives have been blighted by it discover that it is possible to recover from M.E & CFS and it's within their power to get

Just wanted to give you a quick update on Guy's progress. It's a month since we did the lightning process and the change in Guy is amazing. He is attending full time school as well as having a social life!
We have just returned from the gym following Guy's first session with a personal trainer who worked him very hard. On Sunday he played his first rugby match, last week he went to the sixth form ball, arrived home at one in the morning and got up for school the next day. The week before he went on a geography field trip to London and France, early mornings and late nights all week and arrived home in the same state as all the others who went.
The list of what he has done in the last four weeks is endless, thank you again for giving Guy his old life back, it's lovely to see him enjoying everything again.
Best wishes

I would like to thank you for your help in my return to health. I have been affect by ME for over 18 years, with some periods of years where I have been house bound. However, with your help and the lightning process I have just completed a year back to work, without a single day off sick. I now go dancing several nights every week and I have complete the Cumbria Way, a 70 mile long distance walk through the hills of the Lake District. I have no doubt that I could not have achieved this without the lightning process and would heartily recommend it, and you, to
anyone who is interested.
Thanks again

I am doing really well: on Saturday I went for a walk through the parks, thinking I would get a bus home but after a refreshing cup of tea in the park cafe and plenty of doing the process I walked back home again, about 2.5 miles in total! I haven't walked that far in 23 years.
Yesterday I went to church first thing and felt full of life. I was quietly but confidently assertive with someone who needed it - never would have happened before - and went out with Bob in the afternoon to an art show in the Botanical Gardens which involved lots of walking and practicing the lightning process. And Bob didn't bring the car to the gate for me at the end! Last night I went to church again to a welcome service for a new minister. I find I am discovering yet more limiting habits I never knew I had/did and I'm using the process to deal with them. So it's onwards and upwards to a life I love and deserve. God bless you Jennie. Allyson. (Sept 2008 1 week after the lightning process).

Carina's history (from her mother). Carina got Mononucleosis in October 2005. She was 12 year and 3 months old. We did not understand because she was not so sick. So she was doing all the things she was used to do. (She was an active girl). But she was not good and I took her to a doctor in the beginning of December 05. Then she collapsed at school and was so sick. She was home for a month, before she tried to go back to school.In the beginning she lost energy and her head was not good. She had lots of pain, missed most of school (7 classes) and stayed on the sofa at home for 5-7 hours each day. I read about a girl with ME in jan.06 and said "This is the same as my daughter feels" .Then began the struggles to be heard and get some help for my daughter. We went from doctor to doctor. And test and more tests and even more test again. She got her diagnose of ME in june 06.
The next year she tried some alternative treatment but nothing worked and she got sicker and sicker. She was mostly in bed since june 07. From august to october she got school at home, 1 hour 3 days a week. Then she become to ill, even for that. From february 08 she was totally isolated in bed in her room. Dark and quiet. She had so much pain all the time, especially in her head and heart. She felt that she had no life, just pain and no energy.

I believed in the Lightning Process, and the process made me healthy! It was my life hardest struggle and very hard work, but I DID IT! It is so fantastic and I feel so good! Already the first day of the LP seminar I got so much better! I ate with the table at first time in 1 year. And I was up out of bed, walking around in the house and just felt so good! And I sleep all night at first time in many years. It was so great. The second day I got even better. I showered, cut my hair, change my room, and met my dad and my best friend Malin. It was fantastic! I and Malin took a walk outside in the lovely kinder garden, and it was so amazing to see the world again after so many months! It was so wonderful! After finishing the LP seminar my goodness just continued, and I got better and better! Now I am feeling that I am myself again, healthy and good. My dreams have come true.
This summer I have been doing so much fun: I have met people and my friends, been shopping many times, swimming, walking a lot every day, exercising, cooking, listening to music, singing and dancing! This is so fantastic! I am so glad that I took the LP seminar and I am so thankful for Jenny Gilmore who taught me how to do it! So thank you Jenny. And thank you Phil Parker for making this very good process. I have got my life back! Carina (August 2008)

I'm sorry that I haven't written to you sooner! Mostly, it is because I've been so busy enjoying myself and doing lots of the things I have not been able to do at all, or in more than small doses, before the Lightning Process course. I have done so much since I saw you last, it's fantastic!
The first weekend after the course I travelled down south to my mother in law, to meet my husband and the rest of his family. I went on the train by myself with only a HUGE suitcase as company, and walked the distance between stations in London without assistance - which felt fabulous! I was socialising almost every waking minute of the next couple of days, and still had energy to spare. For instance, on the Saturday we went shopping for hours (walking so much that I got blisters on my feet!), then I (I repeat: I) made food for everybody for the barbeque we had in the late afternoon, before my husband and I met some friends in a pub, where we stayed until one am. The next day I felt fine, and we had a lovely time with the family before we went to the airport. At the check in desk I was very, very pleased to decline the pre-booked wheel chair. My husband and I must have been the only ones who were happy to hear that the flight was delayed for a couple of hours - it gave us more time to explore the tax free shops!
One of the first days back home I went for a long walk, longer than I have walked in nearly three years. Seeing familiar places for the first time in such a long time made me feel so happy I that almost wanted to cry! It was well worth the muscle ache and sore feet (a natural consequence of physical exertion of this stature for any extremely unfit person like myself).
I have bought a public transport monthly pass, but next month I will save myself the money, as I hardly ever use it. I walk almost everywhere! I have bought myself one of those shopping trolleys that old ladies - and lots of young and rather trendy people here in the city, I've noticed - have, and there are now hardly any limits to where I can go and the amount of shopping I can bring with me (to my husband's despair, ha-ha!).
This weekend we had a big party at ours to celebrate Norway's National Day. I did find myself doing stress in the two days prior to this party, and I was also doing difficulty in applying the process in the midst of the cleaning, baking, and flag decorating. The evening before the big day I felt worse than I have felt since doing the LP course. I then managed to do a proper STOP, and cancelled my plans to spend the evening with a friend in order to have a lazy night on my own (as my husband was out watching football with his mates). I felt good the morning after, no abnormal pains or fatigue. Lots of people came to the party, and by using the process I managed to get out of the pit every time I found myself doing stress. I ended up having a fantastic time! The party began at two pm and the last guests didn't leave until after eleven pm, and I still felt great!!!
I have been doing IBS for more than four years, and for the last three I have had to follow a very strict diet. Since learning the process I have been a little bit less firm on my regime, but I have still mostly avoided the things I have been intolerant to for so long. But at our party I had a little bit of everything: cake, chocolate and a glass of champagne. It tasted fantastic!! But I have been doing a sore and bloated tummy since then. Considering how much stress I was doing the days before the party, this is not really surprising. I will let my tummy heal, then ensure that I am doing well before I again try to introduce food I have not tolerated, and then only one item from my no-list at the time…
I have not taken any vitamins, magnesium or B12 injections since the course, and I still feel better than I have in years.
I received the quarterly magazine from Action for ME, but didn't even open the envelope. Instead I called them and thanked them for their support over the past few years, told them about my recovery due to the Lightning Process, and cancelled my membership. That felt really good.
I do get aches and pains if I do a lot more than I have done in ages, but these are very different to the sensations I have had during my illness. It is hard to describe without going to much into pit-language, but it really is not the same type of discomfort. The tremors and cramps are almost completely gone, for instance. And now I know that when I've done a lot, the muscles will recover, the blisters will heal, and I will feel fine the next day.
I do still get myself into the pit, and sometimes I do difficulty in using the process. But I am getting better at being nice to myself and continue to work on staying out of the pit, instead of doing the opposite. I now know that I am recovering. Staying ill is no longer an option, as I know how to be well.
Apart from the actual steps of the process itself, to me the most valuable knowledge I got from the course was the knowledge that I can do a lot - even work up a sweat, walk until my feet ache, read until my eyes are sore, if I feel like it - and STILL FEEL GREAT AFTERWARDS. Knowing that it is normal to feel tired when I have done something strenous, that I will feel good again as soon as I have given my body a chance to recover - just like any healthy person does when having tired themselves out - means so much to me. The fear of 'overdoing' things has been replaced with a growing confidence that I can do whatever I feel like doing.
My friends and family are so pleased for me, they say it's like having the old Vencka back. I have had several comments that I even sound different when I speak on the phone!
Thank you again for teaching me the process!! Vencka

My progress is still amazing. I was out with friends until 1 a.m. last night. I am back volunteering at the cat homing centre and have started re-claiming my garden! all in 4 weeks of doing the Lightning Process. It is truly a miracle after 10 years of M.E to know that I have control of my well- being now and can live a life I love. I have found the CD invaluable in re-in forcing what I learned in the training and know that I have a tool to use for the rest of my life.
I can't thank you enough and Phil for developing the programme. You have given me something remarkable - the gift of a new life. Janet

Hello Jenny.
I fell ill with pneumonia in 1996 and did not fully recover. I was diagnosed with ME in 2005.I have tried so many treatments; massage,mineral bath, meditation, diet and so on; spending a lot of money. Thank you for the revolutionary tools of LP! It has changed and is still changes my life.Sidsel (June 2008)
********************************
You can't help but want to change your life as a suffer of ME but knowing how to do that and having the confidence to try some thing new when all else has failed in the past, that's the tricky bit.
I went on the Lightning Process website following Jenny's article in the York Press and a light switched on for me. Here was something that has worked for others so why not for me! It is understandable that you might have reservations especially when you look at the Lightning Process website, it doesn't give much away…..but what went through my mind was - I am no different to any other ME sufferer, our symptoms may vary but we are all the same struggling to get by, if it has worked for them whatever it is it will work for me!
Attending the training course was straight forward, it was intense but strangely enjoyable and with my determination that I was going to be open minded and learn everything I could from Jenny it was no surprise that after the first afternoons session I was already feeling better. This is exactly what others had experienced and as I have already said I am no different to them! By the end of the course the feelings I had were indescribable because I hadn't felt them before, a new me, I felt lighter in that a weight had been lifted from me, I was cheerier and felt that I could do anything I wanted too, I just had to make that choice! Two months on am I still the same, symptom free, absolutely! In 6 months will I be the same, definitely. Jenny has changed my life- having had ME since childhood but remaining undiagnosed until 2004 life is just beginning for me. I am no longer muddling through and getting by. I am doing what I want to do when I want to do it and enjoying more of life!
Thank you Jenny and all the very best to anyone reading this about to embark on their own journey to choose to change their life! It is worth every penny! Hayley (York Spring 2008)

I attended a lightning process training course at the end of January 2008, I admit that during the seminar I had a few doubts as to what i had signed up for but after leaving the seminar I started to apply the principles of the process. it is now May 14th 2008 and I now feel almost as good as I did before I began to suffer from M.E 14 years ago, I do not rest in the afternoons, I can walk long distances and can drive long distances as well without suffering, I can potter round the garden weeding and clearing up for hours on end.
I just get on with things now without having to agonize over whether it will make me feel ill, I also feel a lot calmer and more at peace with myself - the trick is to continue to apply the process if you get the slightest niggle of you old way of thinking. Before I was stuck in a dreadful limbo, - I hadn't had any joy from the NHS M.E services or any other conventional help but now I feel things are looking up. Julie (Sheffield)
********************************
The Lightning Process has dramatically changed my life. As far back as I can remember I have felt anxious about all aspects of my life, even the smallest thing would bring about a feeling of panic. Would there be a hold up on the bypass which would prevent me getting to a meeting on time. Would the hospital car park be full making me late for a Physiotherapy appointment - this was a worry, a notice in the Dept stated that if an appointment was missed they would refuse further treatment and I would be required to see my GP for a new referral. A more serious issue for me was visiting the Dentist. This filled me with dread for days before I went, and that was only for a check-up! I used to go to the door of the Dental Suite and think, I don't have to do this, I can go home. Fortunately common sense prevailed, and though shivering with fright I knew this visit could not be avoided.
Then I had the opportunity to do the Lightning Process. The training over three days was intensive and there was much work for me to do. I was ably guided by Jenny Gilmore, an excellent trainer, and after the first day, there were already changes for the better. After three days it seemed almost unbelievable that I had gained the ability to be in control of my life, to feel totally unconcerned about what lay ahead - so there was a traffic snarl up - so what, I would get there eventually. The hospital car park did one day present me with a challenge, no spaces, no time, but I did make it... by driving a over a stretch of pavement! I need to add that I am disabled with Rheumatoid Arthritis with a limit of fifty yards walking ability.
The levels of pain associated with Rheumatoid Arthritis are minimised since the Lightning Process, I think because the stress levels in my body are so reduced. And certainly I visit the Dentist now without fear. I actually found myself smiling last time!
I continue to do LP, but now, it has become mostly automatic in that merely by thinking of the issue, I can induce a feeling of confidence about anything I wish to achieve. It is a great feeling, a happy feeling.
Thank you Jenny for your expert training and follow up advice. The Lightning Process is a very powerful tool, and is one that I can thoroughly recommend. AG (who did the Lightning Process in August 2007

I had 3 sessions of NLP in Nov 07 with Jenny. I had no ides of what would happen in these sessions. I asked Jenny for help to lose weight in particular to help me stop eating biscuits/cakes etc and stop me from entering my kitchen cupboard. After just one session i was amazed to find I had no interest in even going into the cupboard.Could not believe I had no interest in icecream or chocolate either. IT WAS AMAZING! Sara
