Elisa and Lightning Process

Sharing an update from Elisa who did the Lightning Process in 2014 and has gone on to achieve so much! She is keen to inspire others with her experience! What brilliant success she has made of her life, using the Lightning Process tools! 

Hi Heather,

Apologies for the delay but here is my testimonial below. Sorry it’s a bit long but it’s hard to summarise the full effects of the Lightning Process! 🙂

‘The fact that I am writing a testimonial for the Lightning Process is a true reflection on how significant and life chanElisaging it has been for me. I have suffered many long periods of chronic fatigue in my life since I got Glandular Fever at 14 years old. Since then, I was so susceptible to viruses and infections all the time, severely impacting my quality of life. In 2012, at 30 years old I was in the prime of my life; an international business woman, national league hockey player, wild party animal! I was living the dream. So to be crippled with ME for months at this time of my life just wasn’t right. I had to do something about it.

Over the years, I had tried pretty much all I could think of or find. So much medication, so many referrals to specialists, but nothing could make this crippling condition go away or prevent it from coming back. I always lived in fear that if I got ill, it would turn into chronic fatigue again.

Then one day in February 2013, by a series of co-incidental events that seemed too spooky to ignore, I came across the Lightning Process and felt compelled to read into it. Through Google I found Heather’s website. No word of a lie, by the time I read through all the information on her website, I was already feeling better! I showed my family the website and asked my mother to take me to one of Heather’s talks (as I didn’t have the energy and strength to drive), so we could meet her and see if the course was actually genuine and find out more about it. We loved it. The talk was so informative and I couldn’t wait to get on the seminar!

By the time I had got to the seminar with Heather, having read the Lightning Process book a few times, I had gotten my life back on track and was feeling energised and exercising again! It was amazing. But I knew I needed the seminar to get closure on the past, find out what the tools were exactly, and also see how it could help me with my self confidence as I always struggled with this, particularly at work. I had no idea it would completely turn my life around like it did! The information I learnt, and the tools you gain, are invaluable. Instantly, I was back on form and back to a life full of fun and energy. My mindset and approaches to challenges and situations in life completely changed for the better. This has all become a natural way of life now, and the Lightning Process principles are always there in the back of my mind, guiding me. My immune system is getting stronger and stronger. I get ill less frequently and if I do, it doesn’t last long at all!

One year on, I have met the man of my dreams and we are now engaged. I have moved houses, renovated a property, purchasing another, am back playing hockey, and doing lots of physical activity including gruelling mud obstacle races! All thanks to Heather and the Lightning Process and how they have taught me to turn my life around. It will stay with me forever now. And Heather is always on hand for any advice and support. It makes such a big difference, knowing you have the person who helped you turn your life around, there always happy to talk and help. Thank you Heather!’

 

Lightning Process and Mountaineering

/0 Comments/in /by

I had an email sometime ago now, from someone who used Lightning Process tools to climb mountains in a new way for him… and to deal with a personal challenge while up on the mountain… I thought it was beautifully expressed and a very interesting story.

Dear Heather,

I just want to tell you a little bit about my success applying the lightning process to achieve what I want.

Last weekend I went to the highest mountains in Norway together with groups of friends and colleagues. Since November last year I think I have had a remarkable recovery in my physical health.. In November I was skiing usually about 3 km or so, and I did enjoy that a lot. Already in December I was able to ski up to 10 km, and then the rest of the day I was usually very satisfied and relaxed. In March I was able to go skiing for up to 4 hours! And now I didn’t feel any fatigue at all! I was just energised and feeling good!

And now last weekend I went to the highest mountains in Norway with very experienced fit athletes. It was more than 3 1/2 years since I was in the big mountains with my old mountain friends, so it was a remarkable experience just to go up there again knowing that I could participate and go skiing like I used to do several years ago!

The first day we were heading for a peak that was around 2100 m above sea level. These are very steep mountains but nevertheless we headed straight forward towards the peak. For the first hour or so I was doing more than moderate pain in my leg because the kind of equipment to be used for these trips are very heavy and the resistance is considerable for the whole body. But I just kept calm and used the process to do comfort, calm and joy, and gradually I did not do any pain anymore or very little! Truly amazing!

After about four hours who reached the peak and the view was more impressive than I could imagine 🙂 I was the last to arrive on the peak, I knew I could have been among the first , but I wanted to go my own flow and rhythm, so I was happy about being the last! Probably for the first time in my life 🙂 I realised that it is not about reaching the peak, but how you reach the peak, how you enjoy the journey – in a new way. We then skied down on the other side of the mountain through a narrow valley and finally reached our cabin after about seven hours! For me it was strange that some other very fit athletes were much less energetic than myself as we arrived the cabin and the following hours. I did not want to compare myself with any others, but it was really striking in that I was doing much more energy than many of the others.

The day after I went for a three-hour trip just to relax a bit and enjoy the mountains on my own. It is strange in the mountains because what seems like one-hour often turn out to be two or three hours. .
The third day we headed for another big mountain where we had to climb from 1000 m above sea level to 2000 m above sea level. I had some problems with my ski equipment so the others in my group were walking faster than me, but I told them that it was okay and that I would catch up with them later.

Then after a few hours I was approaching the peak again and this time it was very steep but I did not mind because I was expecting a plateau on top of the mountain. I didn’t see anyone from my group but I didn’t mind because I was just looking forward to the beautiful scenery and to have a nice cup of coffee on the top of the plateau. However, as I made my final baby steps to the top climbing the last 200 m almost straight up , I was very surprised. There was no plateau. There was almost nothing, only a very narrow 30 cm edge of snow and rocks, some places much less, and then just an abyss! Here I was on the top of the world, at least on the top of the Norwegian roof. What should I do? This was definitely the time to do the process as I was heading clearly towards the pit, and I could not afford that as you can easily imagine. I did a very focused stop and instead of looking down which was not necessary because I knew what was expecting me if looking down, I was looking up. I enjoyed immensely the beautiful mountains and used this image to facilitate a very focused choice towards the life I love. And in a very short time I was remarkably calm and comfort. This was truly lightning process magic for real! I used the process whenever I needed it as I headed towards the edge to find my way back to an area where it was possible to put on my skis, and then cruised down safely to the valley and our this base camp. I am very happy that I used the process in such a powerful way in this critical situation. It is possible that I could have made my way down to the valley again without using the process, but that would have been much less elegant and much more difficult.

On the train back home I was feeling very good, I was having a feeling that I could do anything, and I was very grateful that I had managed to do what was necessary to find my way back to base camp.Thank you very much for having introduced me to the lightning process, I am very grateful for what I have achieved applying the process since the seminar in Oslo last year.
