The Lightning Process - the Missing Tool in the Tool Box

Life before the Lightning Process with Amanda…ahhh (big sigh). A time I often reflect on, but do not stay long. What seems so distant and far behind. It was a time I have now left in the past, and I do not plan on going back.

I have always thought of myself as an overall positive person. Overall hopeful, overall joyful. But as life happened and you add a traumatic experience or two, I found myself feeling a little less than positive. I may have shown up with a smile on my face to all my family and friends, but inside I was lost, anxious, and did NOT want to be smiling. But the funny thing about the LP, and talking with Amanda, I figured out a smile isn’t really a smile if my whole body and mind isn’t smiling as well.

I had grown up with anxiety and had some anxious bouts that ebbed and flowed. I had no idea how to control it or fix it, I just thought it happened to me and there was nothing I could do about it. Before starting the LP, I had considered getting help from good ol’ modern medicine and thought about trying anxiety medication. However, I just knew that the idea of taking a pill, using a band aid, wasn’t going to be the right fit. I needed to dig deep, find the root of this anxiety, and dig it out myself. That is when I turned to the LP.

Finding the Lightning Process was like finding the missing tool in my toolbox.

Something many people close to me know, is that when I was a little girl, I would squeal at the top of my lungs. When I was happy, excited, overjoyed, and full of energy (which was a lot). And then, there was a period of my life, and I mean a long period, where I stopped squealing entirely. I had lost my squeal. When I squeal, I know I am truly happy. I can feel my soul is aligned and I am exactly where I need to be – in my headspace and in my heart. Since ending the LP and with the help of Amanda, I am ecstatic to say I have gotten my squeal back.

The opportunity to work with Amanda through the LP seminars, and after completing the training, has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Every day I think about being a rubber duck, resilient through every wave life brings. I am joyful, happy, and life seems a whole lot easier. The anxious bouts? Nowhere to be seen. The positive changes my body and mind have made amaze me every day and I could not have done this without Amanda.
