“Before the LP I was mostly homebound. Today I am enjoying life!”

/

A client wrote recently with an update on her progress:

I have continued to do things that I love since getting back to Seattle! We have had friends over to dinner, I've gone out to lunch with friends, I've attended dance competitions and baseball games, and a special music competition my daughter was asked to play the clarinet in.  What fun!  This is such a wonderful change because before the LP I was mostly homebound.  Today I am enjoying life!

My friends and other people we know have noticed how much better I look!  They comment on the light in my eyes and that my face does not seem stressed out!  I've talked about how the Lightning Process has helped so much.  My counselor that I see every other week and I have talked about what a difference it has made in my life.

I am so thankful to have the tools to live the life I love!

"As for CRPS? ...What CRPS?!"

/

Before I did the Lightning Process — even though I had experienced a great deal of progress in my battle with CRPS through treatments at the Neurologic Relief Center in Fayetteville, AR —  I did not feel anywhere near ready to proclaim victory. I had a lot of doubts about my ability to hold off the monster that is CRPS, and did not feel confident or complete in my own power against something which had previously stripped me of all sense of control over my body, my mind, and my life.

The tools I learned during the three-day training were life-changing for me.

"The Lightning Process Gave Me My Life Back from Fibromyalgia, CFS and CRPS"

Hello, my name is Julie. I'm 48 years old, and from 1985 through July, 29, 2017 I was invisible. I know that you are probably thinking that I've gone completely round the bend, but please hear me out. I was a master of the Art of Becoming Invisible. I have been banged into many a time by people who said they didn't see me - and I'd be walking straight toward them! I could walk through a crowded room undetected and many a time I have startled someone by "appearing out of the blue." One of the most common things that people would say to me was, "Oh, I didn't see you." Once again I'd be right in front of them!

"Life is, at Last, the Life I Want to Lead"

/

Here I was in my mid 50s and not having a good time of it. Life seemed to be running me. I heard of the Lightning Process from a girl from Australia, who had a lot of success with and stated that it had changed her life. Now that sounded like exactly what I needed.

I had been stuck in the 'fight or flight' response for too many years to count. This had taken its toll on my mind and body, with a whole myriad of symptoms, one of which was Chronic Fatigue, as well as chronic pain, anxiety and stress, just to mention a few.

Out of the Wheelchair and Back on the Motorcycle

/

After three cracked vertebrae and an unsuccessful surgery, Tom Smith was told by his doctors that there was 'nothing to be done' and he should expect to spend the rest of his life in pain and in a wheelchair.  Not willing to accept this outcome, and inspired by his niece who had used the Lightning Process to recover from 30 years of CFS, Tom came to Portland from Indiana barely able to walk or stand for more than a few minutes. One of his dearest wishes was to ride his motorcycle again...

Pictures tell a thousand words.  

A happy mom was so delighted with her daughter's recovery from CFS that she sent this exuberant photo just 2/12 weeks after Sarah completed the Lightning Process. Later she sent a video of a fun-filled vacation, saying:

"Couldn't have had this amazing experience without the Lightning Process and you!!"

Vibrant health, energy, and vitality

/

For over 30 years, before I did the Lightning Process training in 2016, I had many chronic issues -- fatigue, sinus infections, colds, depression, anxiety, aches, pains and so on. I consulted with many doctors and tried numerous treatments, some of which were helpful for a short time, but nothing really worked to restore my health on a permanent basis. Sound familiar?

Since I did the LP training, my health and life have truly transformed. I now experience vibrant health, energy, and vitality, as well as remarkable resilience, on a consistent basis. I can do all the things I want to do and can handle anything that comes my way.

Recently, I have had several experiences that would have adversely affected my health in the past (i.e., my mother was in hospice and died, my home was remodeled, and I spent three weeks traveling in Europe). Now I take them all in stride and continue to feel well and enjoy life.

I highly recommend the Lightning Process training and follow-up coaching with Amanda. She is a fabulous trainer and coach. If you are ready to try something new that is truly revolutionary and transformational, and which has actually worked for many people, then the Lightning Process is for you.

Debilitating Pain to "Now I Don't Even Think About It"

/

Before I did the Lightning Process I was experiencing headaches and severe neck pain, 8/9 out of 10 every day (and I have a high pain threshold) which was completely defining my life. I'd tried so many things -- including physical therapy, and wearing a mouth brace 24/7 for a year -- and nothing seemed to be working.  I was a mess, withdrawing socially and feeling so discouraged.

I'd known about the Lightning Process for a while and one day I just knew I was ready to do it. 'When the student is ready, the teacher appears.'

CRPS to "I Can Do Anything I Want!"

CRPS to "I Can Do Anything I Want!"

The Lightning Process was the best thing I ever did.  Before I did the seminar in the fall of 2014 I'd had CRPS in my leg for over a year, diagnosed by a CRPS specialist at Massachusetts General Hospital. The lightest touch felt ungodly, like nothing I'd ever felt before. If you'd touched my foot with a feather I'd have wanted to punch you, the pain was that intense. I understand why this is called the suicide disease, and for a while I felt suicidal.

From Depression and Dis-ease to Joyfully Embracing Life

/

I now understand that how I think affects my health, my happiness and the world around me, many times in unconscious and unintentional ways.  After many years of abuse, clinical depression, addiction, and finally cancer, the Lightning Process has given me all the tools I need to fully embrace wellness instead of dis-ease.  I see the world, people, places and things differently, as a whole system, eagerly striving to provide for my every need, if only I’ll get out of the way.  I joyfully embrace the unfolding miracle of this life that I love.

From Chronic Migraines to Living Life

/

It has been a year and half since I completed the Lightning Process with Amanda - it has been a literal life-saver for me. I am 30 and had been suffering from chronic migraines for over 18 years and gone through the ringer; countless tests, dozens of medications, diets, biofeedback, having my bite restructured, massage, pain clinics, Botox, acupuncture and hypnotherapy (EMDR/brain spotting) to name a few.  Very little gave me any relief. I felt exhausted, sad and hopeless. In the Spring of 2015 I finally took medical leave from work, they had gotten so bad, and this is when I heard about the Lightning Process from a family friend.  

One of the biggest reasons the LP worked for me was the realization that I could control what was going on in my body, that I was not helpless. I had a lot more power than I realized. It seems simple but it was monumental for me. There is no pill or treatment that a doctor could give to me. After so many years of pain, I did not realize how badly I had spiraled into this sad, negative, unhappy person, even though I could put on a front at work or with friends. I had so many negative associations.

I cannot even begin to describe how my perspective has changed now... about everything, not just my headaches. I am significantly happier at work, have stronger relationships with my family and friends, and find joy in the little things again. The mindset shift has been HUGE! In my case, I really did need the 3 full day seminar to truly get the content down. But it is the best money I have ever spent. Hands down. I have my life back and every single person around me can see and feel the difference. Every. Single. Person.

I had been out on medical leave for 3.5 months before I did the seminar, taking heavy pain medications, not sleeping well and staying inside all day, every day. Three days after completing the seminar I went on vacation with my family and was outside all day taking walks, kayaking, biking, golfing, etc. I have so much more energy. Two weeks after the seminar I was back at work. Now a year and half has passed and I am still doing great. I am off all headache medications. Most days are pain free, but when a headache manages to sneak up on me, I can handle it with confidence and grace. They rarely last more than a day and are nothing a little self love and the LP can't handle. Now they are a mere blip on my radar, a slight inconvenience.

I am forever thankful for the LP. And Amanda! She is an absolute gem. I cannot imagine going through this process with anyone else. Amanda is incredible- she is extremely supportive, encouraging and knowledgable. It was not hard to open up to her and I continue to have follow-up sessions - partially to ensure I'm staying on track, but mostly because I truly enjoy her company.    

I tell anyone and everyone I know about the LP. If you are on the fence, I encourage you to take the leap. I did, and I have never looked back!

A Father's Perspective

This beautiful note was sent by Lauren's father, a physician in Portland, Oregon:

I cannot put into words what a wonderful thing you have done for our daughter, Lauren. Prior to seeing you she had not had 3 or 4 good days in a month, let alone in a row, for years. She was unable to do the things she loved, reliably participate in family activities, hang out with friends, or work anywhere near to her ability - I could go on. She is transformed. She is happier, healthier, fitter, working hard, having fun, working out - I could go on here as well. You have enabled her to get her life back after more than a decade of mostly failed attempts, dozens of medications and countless interactions of every imaginable type. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are a blessing and we will never forget what you have done.

I Realized I Had the Key to My Own Happiness

/

Thank you to the Lightning Process (LP), for my life is more of my own now than ever before. The Lightning Process gave me insight and provided me the ability to take my life into my own hands. To show up in the world how I wanted to be showing up. And it helped me realize I had the key to my own happiness the entire time. I am grateful for this process, as it has become a pivotal turning point in my life. I'm thankful for Amanda's patience to work with me and her ability to support me along the journey. You can tell she deeply cares for each individual and is invested in each person's unique journey. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking to have an everlasting positive change in their life.

Chronic Fatigue to a Vibrant Life

Chronic Fatigue to a Vibrant Life

I went from being a full-time worker while completing a Master's Degree, to spending two and a half years nearly housebound with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Many days, getting dressed was an exhausting struggle not worth the effort. Often I thought, "This is ridiculous, surely I can…" ...climb these stairs at a normal speed. ...have this phone conversation. ...read this paragraph.  But usually I couldn't.

And often I thought, "Oh, my God I'm never going to be able to do anything again!"

Anxiety and Panic Attacks to Confidence and Joy

/

A number of years ago I lost control of my basic well-being and experienced extreme levels of anxiety about some work issues that led to terrifying and immobilizing panic attacks.  In some desperation I decided to try the Lightning Process which I am very happy to say has significantly and positively changed the arc of my happiness, power, confidence and joy.  Amanda is a highly skilled, passionate and empathetic practitioner who manifests the power of this amazingly simple way of cultivating life-affirming positivity.

Paradigm Shifts and Joy

/

I have worked as a mental health therapist since 1986. I have also been a client at various times in my life. So, in thinking about doing some therapy for myself I was delighted and grateful to begin NLP work with Amanda Ashley. She has extraordinary skills as a therapist. We all know therapists that we say are "born" to do this work.  Well this could not be more true of Amanda. She holds genuine respect for the client, while challenging with kindness and humor. And I TRUST HER!

I Used the Lightning Process Throughout My Entire Labor

A client just sent me this wonderful note: 

I have been meaning to write to you …first time I have sat down at the computer since Jaxen was born. I wanted to tell you that I used the Lightning Process throughout my entire labor. This was physically and emotionally the hardest situation I have been through and my OB and midwife were astonished that I was able to push out Jaxen at almost 12 pounds (without medication!)

The Lightning Process Works

/

Working with Amanda for three full days learning the Lightning Process was an absolute pleasure. She naturally took things at a pace that allowed me to really soak in the information, and she also has an incredible sense of humor which made it fun. The Lightning Process works. Period. And I would recommend it to anyone looking for a natural way to change old unsuccessful patterns in their life.
