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! " Vencka who used the Lightning Process for M.E. with Jenny Gilmore
What is it? The Lightning Process is a new and unique 3-day training. It includes elements of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), osteopathy, self hypnosis and life coaching and was devised by Osteopath, Hypnotherapist and Master NLP Practitioner Phil Parker.
The Lightning Process is not a therapy it is a training programme. During the instructor will train you step by step as to how the process works, and support you in learning how to apply it.
Who does it help? The lightning process is an extraordinary programme:
a. for predominantly physical conditions such as M.E. and chronic pain.
b. for conditions benfiting from positive influences on the immune system for example Multiple Sclerosis - M.S.
c. for conditions that are primarily psychological, such as depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder (O.C.D.)
d. to enhance peak performance in business and sports.
In fact, over the years the Lightning Process has been found to be a powerful tool for people in a wide range of issues. This includes:
Business success issues, Peak performance issues, Low self-esteem,Self-doubt and self-hatred, Fear of failure, Guilt, anxiety & panic attacks, Stress & struggle, Depression, Overwhelmedness, Procrastination, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Addiction, Smoking, Insomnia, Chronic Fatigue, M.E. (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis)/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, MS, Chronic Pain
and other issues like:
Happiness, Relationships, Discovering what you really want , Interview performance, Confidence, Sleep
How does the Lightning Process work? The Lightning Process works to teaches the brain and body to work together. An important component is the Lightning Process's technique of combining particular body movements and postures with a set of precisely targeted questions.
Participants in the Lightning Process go through a 3 day step-by-step programme:
Performed by Dr. Vegard Bruun Wyller MD PhD at the Division of Paediatrics, Rikshospitalet University Hospital, Oslo, Norway.Dr. Bruun Wyller, considered to be one of Norway's leading experts on ME, says:
Recent research on CFS pathophysiology has revealed alterations of cardiovascular regulation and thermoregulation, characterized by enhanced sympathetic nervous activity and increased secretion of epinephrine. These findings indicate a state of permanent distress response - sustained arousal - in CFS patients. Based upon our findings, we have formulated a theory of sustained arousal in CFS, which seems to correspond quite neatly to the theoretical considerations underlying the Lightning Process.
Day one
Exploration of factors that are preventing individuals from getting what they want.
(For M.E seminars this includes an in-depth discussion of the complex physiology of the condition, and especially considers the role of the endrocrine, nervous system and immune system in the maintenance of the condition.)
Training in the key steps of the process, tailored to individual needs and abilities. This includes the series of body movements, postures and core questions to stimulate new neurological pathways.
As the brain has the ability to create new pathways rapidly, the changes can be achieved very quickly.
Days two and three
Further training to change old established neurological pathways and create and stabilise new more effective ones.
Training is either one to one or as part of a small group on 3 consecutive days and includes a follow-up appointment:
Days one and two: 2 - 4 hours training
Day three: 1 hour training (one to one session) or 2 - 4 hours (if in a group)
Follow up appointment, one-week later: 20 - 60 minutes by phone or face-to-face depending on what is needed.
Training is specifically tailored to an individual's needs and abilities, and the trainee is supported throughout the seminar and afterwards as required. Normally training is part of a small group, or one to one depending on needs.

Researcher, D. Bulijevac, PhD, a neurologist with the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, reports that researchers found that periods of stress doubled the risk of MS patients developing new symptoms, or a more severe form of their existing symptoms. He speculated that this is probably because chronic stress weakens the immune system. British Medical Journal, 2003.
In 2003 Bob Coghill of the Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, North Carolina tested pain tolerence in volunteers and then asked them to rate their pain on a scale of 1 - 10 and by MRI brain scan and found stark differences in sensitivity to pain "Once the signal arrives, the cerebral cortex interprets and colours the information based on prior experience, emotion and expectation, and that's when the differences kick in,".New Scientist 23 June 2003, Journal reference: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1430684100)

Why is the lightning process structured like this?
Research shows that the brain and body learn best when:
· New information is presented a number of times, in a number of different ways over a short time period
· There is an instant opportunity provided to put the new learning into action
· There is feedback from an experienced source available during this learning period to help students refine their understanding and application of the new materials.

"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. "Allyson. For more testimonials. click here
