An Introduction to the Lightning Process:
The Complete Strategy for Success,

REVIEW: The ECI Flyer,
Kieron Devlin, Sept/Oct 2007

.. Phil Parker’s The Lighting Process is on the crest of a wave of national and potentially international interest. Simply put, it is a very effective three-day training seminar using a mix of techniques from NLP, Hypnotherapy, Life Coaching and Osteopathy that helps people to take charge of their body-mind interaction and become unstuck. While it can be incredibly effective with things like peak performance, anxiety, and depression, where it is gaining media attention is in its apparent ability to suddenly turn around the lives of those who suffered for years either bed-ridden, suffering from various forms of fatigue syndrome with repeated illnesses, or having zero energy and fun in life.

... it is well overdue that Phil Parker has written this practical, simple guide to clear up where sceptics have pointed to ‘obfuscation’ and ‘mystification’. Parker emphasises that the process is not a treatment, but a ‘simple and elegant’ training. He very careful to avoid suggestion that the LP might be a cult. This should counter the tendency of people with M.E. to be weary, and hyper-wary, of any new fangled ‘cure’ that might mislead them once again.

There is a ‘Stretching Your Mind’ section at the beginning which has clear explanations, and mind expanding exercises, ‘designed to get you thinking about what’s possible in areas where nothing seems to change’. All is written in Parker’s trademark a no-nonsense, let’s-get-on-with-it style. Each chapter tackles a different areas the process can be applied to: Depression, Business & Peak Performance, Weight Issues, Anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Essential preliminaries are outlined in order to gear up to take the training.

.. the book is of huge value as a starting point. It is the only book on this subject and thus is required reading for those taking the seminar. I myself am now a practitioner and have learned a great deal and have a new understanding and appreciation of the power of mind-body interactions from listening to many ex-M.E. sufferers who have achieved amazing U-Turns in their lives. They now jump for joy as seen on the website www.lightningprocess.com. That is certainly remarkable enough, by any standards, but the process can have a galvanising effect, which works – this is no jest- like lightning, on anyone’s major issues, and that’s where I see its future is secure.

Curriculum and training modules INDEX

PHASE ONE : DISCOVERY

Beliefs
Discovering the positive and negative power of beliefs on our health and life.

Influence
a. Discovering which areas of our health and life we feel we can influence, and which areas we feel we have no say in
b. Discovering if there are new ways to approach these issues which give us more choice and more influence over our well being and future

Inner dialogue
Discovering how much of our inner dialogue is useful and how much is destructive and limits our health and future.

Body posture
Discovering how the way we use our bodies and carry ourselves influences how our body works and how we feel.

Expectations alter physiology
Discovering how much we create valuable or destructive expectations about what's about to happen next which directly prepare our body physically for those imagined events.

Responsibility vs. feelings of self-blame
Distinguishing the difference between being responsible for your health and wellbeing, and feeling that you are to blame for it.

PHASE TWO : CHANGE

• How to change any of the above that are keeping you stuck
• How to make complicated things simple
• How to dramatically change our perspective and focus when we need to

Why is the Lightning Process training program structured in this way?

The Phil Parker Lightning Process will train you to get your brain and body working together more effectively. Research shows that the brain and body learn best when these three criteria are met:

1. - new information is presented a number of times, in a number of different ways over a short time period

2. - an instant opportunity is provided to put the new learning’s into action

3. - feedback from an experienced source is available during this learning period to help students refine their understanding and application of the new materials

On day one you will learn the process, and start to use it immediately.
The other sessions are for fine tuning and to make sure you are getting the results that you want.

We have found that small group seminars (and when needed, one-to-one sessions) create the ideal environment to learn the process as well as get coaching both from the trainer and the group in how to use it to resolve your particular issues.

.. you will get to see the Lightning Process dozens of times from many different stand-points during your training, discovering through observation how others apply it to their own differing issues and what a flexible tool the Lightning Process can be in your life.

Fees: £ 780 Seminar fee per person. INDEX
(Can $1,485.00 on 2008-09-15)
From August, 2008 onwards, a certificate will be awarded at the completion of the training.

Fees become payable one month prior to your appointments to confirm your place on the course. Fees cannot be refunded in the event of a cancellation on your part. This is because we run small group training sessions with limited spaces. If you take up a space and then cancel, it is unlikely that we will be able to fill your place at short notice. (from the application Form, online.)

2008-09-xx Fees for Canada were raised to Can $2,000 per person.

Because the process success is entirely dependent on YOU making changes to the way YOU think, we find that the level of commitment you have to making sure you get the benefits of the process is the most important factor in making a rapid and lasting recovering- remember this is not a treatment, it's training, and the tools of the process are only powerful when they are used as taught.

My Story:
I personally recovered from 16 years of M.E. using The Lightning Process™ and now enjoy training others to recover their health and happiness using this process. ...

I found The Lightning Process™ when I had been ill with M.E. for sixteen years. For twelve of those years I was severely affected and bed-bound 24 hours a day. I had pain, sleep disturbances, was unable to walk at all, digestive problems, and the usual range of M.E. symptoms. I had tried almost every possible treatment, supplement and approach, to try to find a way back to health and a life. I had had a long period of psychotherapy which was an interesting journey but made no difference to my health whatsoever. I realise now that the problems started even earlier when I was much younger with irritable bowel syndrome. The M.E. itself started with viral menigititis. From then on I never fully recovered and eventually spiralled down into being bedbound. I had given up trying any new approaches to recover after so many cycles of disappointments, I had spent a LOT of money over the years and few lasting improvements. ...

After a long six-week wait for my appointment, I struggled to get to the course at Phil Parker's clinic in Crouch End, London for 10.00am. This was a BIG challenge as I felt particularly bad in the mornings and rarely functioned at all before midday. Three life-changing days later, I had been taught how I could influence my body and my symptoms, I had actually been shown the way to regain my health and energy. Those three days were an amazing journey. I proved to myself that it was working as I walked further than I had in 16 years, and suffered no symptoms afterwards except aching feet and muscles that weren't used to walking. This is the feeling which normally occurs after using a muscle which is functioning normally, but not yet accustomed to exercise. This is very different from the feeling in your muscles when you have M.E.

The following week I continued to make remarkable progress, I was sleeping well and waking at 8am, my body was functioning healthily, and what was truly wonderful was that, I was making it work; it wasn't luck or chance or someone else giving me a pill or a treatment; I was getting back in charge. At long last I had an explanation that made perfect sense, for all of the pain and symptoms that had imprisoned me over the years. I finally understood the basics of the science/biology behind the symptoms, the role of adrenaline, and how I had developed particular thought patterns in response to what was happening, even though I maintained a positive outlook throughout the illness. ...

I undertook the Practitioner Training with Phil Parker and I am now an Advanced (among the most experienced in the field) and fully licensed Lightning Process™ Trainer working near Watford, Hertfordshire. I have trained many people who were bedbound with severe M.E. who took their first steps walking on the first or second day, and then went on to do so much activity in their lives that their families, and doctors still can't believe it. I love hearing about the new achievments, the distances they walk, the shopping, (there is usually a lot of shopping), the friends they can now see and make, going back to their studies, work, getting married, having children, and what it means for their family to have them back, healthy and happy. ...

Saved from a living death. INDEX
By ESTHER RANTZEN
Daily Mail, Health, February 2007
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-434248/Saved-living-death.html

For 14 years, Esther Rantzen's daughter Emily had her life destroyed by ME. Trapped in a wheelchair, wasting away, she wanted to die. Now, thanks to radical "mind over matter" therapy, she's cured herself. ...

But the years of illness and disability have taught us both lessons we would rather not have learnt: about trying to keep real hope alive, keeping false hopes at bay and coping in a world that is all too often blind, deaf and uncaring towards disability.

My daughter's illness had crept up on us with a seemingly gentle gradualness. I would rather it had struck hard and quickly, then at least the medical world might have taken it seriously. ...

When I saw my once active, energetic daughter walking heavily upstairs, and struggling to get off a sofa, at first I put it down to teenage lethargy. Now I know better, I can date the onset of the fatigue. It was triggered by a brief bout of glandular fever in 1992 when Emily was 14 - a common enough illness in young people, but she never fully recovered. ...

At this point our GP referred her to a neurologist, thank heavens.
Had we been referred to a psychiatrist, as many ME patients are, I might have come under suspicion of abusing her, been diagnosed with Munchausen by Proxy, and told that I was deliberately causing my daughter's illness myself.

It may sound far-fetched, but I have met families to whom that has happened, and mothers who not only had the anxiety and distress of a child's illness to deal with but the hideous experience of having to defend themselves against accusations of abuse.

When a child's illness baffles the medical profession they sometimes look around for someone to blame, and mum is often the nearest and easiest target. I have campaigned on behalf of parents and children who suddenly found a care order slapped on their sick child. ...

But in spite of all her efforts, I watched the illness take over her body.
She became hypersensitive to light and noise so that she had to wear earplugs and sunglasses constantly, and we lined her curtains with blackout material.

She lost the capacity to walk upstairs, so we installed a stairlift.
When she was unable to walk at all, we got a wheelchair for her. In the end, she spent all day in bed, eyes shut, earplugs in. I used to come home from work and run to her room. She was sheet-white, and her limbs were cold.

Desperate to try and find a way to keep her positive about the body that had become her prison, I would massage her legs, which felt completely lifeless. ME is not officially a life-threatening illness, but this was a living death. ...

And because the illness had always been denied funding for research, the quacks had swept in. They wrote to us about a thousand different "infallible" cures: cold water baths; aloe vera drinks; oxygen at night; dowsing; feng shui; vitamin transfusions; magic crystals. ...

When I held her hands they were icy. As I watched the fatigue remorselessly overcome her, and she lay on the sofa each afternoon, and struggled to get up each morning, my heart sank like lead. I had seen all this before. Would we have to install the stairlift again and bring back the wheelchair?

Six months ago we heard about the Lightning Process from Jill Moss who founded the Association for Young People with ME (AYME) and had seen it work well with a member of her family.

As explained in Good Health last month, The Lightning Process is based on the theory that ME is an illness that affects the body's capacity to deal with adrenaline. This is the hormone the body releases when stressed - in people with ME the levels are abnormal, and they need to "train" their brain to normalise the body's response.

The first step is to tackle the thoughts that trigger the stress reaction - halfway through a negative thought they have to tell themselves to stop. This stops the stress response, and in theory creates new connections in the brain, stimulating the production of endorphins - feel-good brain chemicals.

... Emily, now 28, enrolled. It took three days.
On the day after Emily finished the course I went down to our kitchen and found she had got there before me. There was a sparkle in her eyes I hadn't seen since she was 14. I asked what had happened. "I've done the Lightning Process about 30 times since I got up," she told me.

I continued to watch her all morning.
Every few minutes she would talk to herself, coaching herself to withstand the fatigue.

It's a process that takes effort, and I understand that it doesn't work for everyone.

But with joy and relief I am now confident the Lightning Process has worked for Emily.
After six months she has started a job, working with children. She has a full, active social life. ...

In November 07 a wonderful woman called Gunvor Hals, well known in Norway from her work as a Television Presenter, found out about 'The Phil Parker Lightning Process™'. She attended one of my Seminars in Rickmansworth as an observer, and was impressed with the seminar. She realised that people in Norway would want and needed this training and that many were too ill to travel to the U.K. She decided someone should do something about this. And she did!

She asked me to come to Oslo in December 07 and train some people she knew with M.E. She offered her house as a suitable place for the training as there is plenty of comfort and room for at least two people who might need to lie down at the start of the seminar

At first we agreed on one group of six people but this soon turned into two groups of six. I was then asked back when the friends of the people on the course saw the rapid results from the training, they too wanted to get well and an opportunity to do the training without having to travel. I have since been back to Norway with Lightning Process™ seminars every month since then and I now often have people referred to me by their doctors and chiropractors.

Helping sufferers of ME-CFS INDEX
http://positivechangecanada.com/lightningprocess/mecfs/

Through over five years of research and working with clients with ME (myalgic encephalomyelitis) and CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome), Phil Parker discovered the underlying cause of these illnesses: an adrenaline loop - a continuous overproduction of adrenaline. ...

Adrenaline and cortisol are a good and normal response to short term stress, but long term production of them exhausts us, it affects our blood sugar and thyroid levels, it suppresses our immune system and makes us prone to illness and tiredness …

Our approach relies on an understanding that the body and the mind are interrelated and interact with each other.

We have used this training program to successfully help people get over all sorts of other physical conditions, like back pain, migraines, asthma etc, but that doesn't mean we consider those conditions to be all in the mind either.

It's also true for most people that attempting to recover from myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome using physical methods rarely succeeds.

The Phil Parker Lightning Process, however, has been very successful at changing the physical condition of ME and CFS sufferers rapidly and for the long term.

We would suggest that if what you are doing isn't working, then it's time to do something different.

The Phil Parker Lightning Process is a journey of discovery: discovering the unconscious damaging patterns that you are running, and which keep you stuck in the adrenaline loop; and learning a simple and highly effective way of completely breaking this cycle of fatigue and illness.
