I gave the Lightning Process everything I had but unfortunately it didn’t work for me.

Because I signed a contract saying I would not disclose the process to anyone else, I cannot go into too much detail here. The Lightning Process is a simple ‘procedure’ that one completes every time they don’t feel ‘well’. So you might be walking down the street and you feel unwanted symptoms, so you stop and do the procedure. This is basically designed to snap you out of whatever unhelpful habit you had unconsciously perfected. The Process re-trains your mind to stop going down that negative path. It has similarities to Neuro Linguistic Programming.

I had read various success stories and really believed that this could be the solution for me. My trainer was Ian Cleary from Australia. He was always very helpful when I was struggling to make any headway and I couldn’t have asked for a better trainer.

Part of the theory is that constant negative thoughts and poor decision making over-stimulate the adrenal glands and eventually creates chronic symptoms. This made sense to me at the time and I’m recovering now (4 years later) because I’ve learnt how to not react to situations I used to react to. It’s basically a behavioral change that I didn’t even know I needed. Or I did realise I had to change but didn’t know how. And it’s very easy once you know how. So a completely different method is working for me and I would say 100% of people would get some benefit from this knowledge.

Back to the LP. When you decide to start doing the process, you have to commit to doing it every time you don’t feel well, so I had to do it all day which was pretty full on. I was continually doing it for most of the day, perhaps a hundred times and this is not unheard of. I gave it 100% but I actually started to get even more mentally exhausted to the point where I was starting to really suffer and deteriorate. The intense concentration was mentally breaking me down so I felt I had no other option but to stop.

This was very disappointing so after a week or two off and chatting to Ian about where I could be going wrong, I decided to give it another go but the same thing happened. After a third time a few weeks later I decided that it probably wasn’t going to work for me at this stage.

It amazed me that some people that were in wheel chairs did the process and then could go travelling around the world or do whatever else they wanted to do. I wondered why I couldn’t make any progress and came to the conclusion that I was too exhausted for my engine to get ‘jump started’. I was ‘four lows’ according to the metabolic hair tests which meant my tissue mineral levels were extremely low. I understood that these levels usually took months to increase so any other program that was known as a relative ‘quick fix’, probably wasn’t going to be that effective. I also think that the initial virus I got, damaged my nervous system or brain because my mental ability and stamina decreased. The concentration required was too much.

So for me, I had to do it the long and difficult way. The upside is that I am learning a lot about myself. There is no way I would have become much wiser and self-aware if the Lightning Process had worked for me. For whatever reasons, I feel that I needed to do what I am currently doing. I’m glad it turned out like this. The two programs could not be more opposite.

I would like to hear from anyone else who had experience with the Lightening Process.
