Recovery from Long Covid and Transformed Way of Being
/When I first heard of the Lightning Process (LP), I already had some appreciation of the mind-body connection but didn't think that it was relevant for helping with the long-covid symptoms I was experiencing.
After listening to some of the LP recovery stories, I knew that it was worth a try even if I didn't understand it completely. I was not getting any useful information from my doctor or seeing any improvements from the seemingly endless interventions that I was hearing about through my own research on the internet.
I began the 3-day seminar series with 3 other participants and Amanda Ashely as our facilitator. At the end of day 2, when I was reviewing the material and working on some exercises, I had an "aha" moment. It became obvious to me that everything the process was based on and everywhere Amanda was guiding us was about leaving behind negativity and choosing positivity. Once I was looking through this lens, it was transformative. I started laughing. It felt like a year's worth of laughing was coming out. I couldn't stop.
I stopped making comparisons to my pre-COVID self and stopped focusing on my symptoms. Instead, I started looking for positive change each day. I began curating what I wanted that change to look like. I learned to look forward to and be more in each moment. Using the LP has helped me travel the road to recovery and also helped transform my way of being in life.
Thank you Amanda and Phil!
