It can be quite minor in appearance – a simple medical procedure or car accident – but intense in its effect. Many of us experience trauma at some point in our lives. Fortunately, many of us process trauma like other life events over time, and move on successfully. Some of us have longer lasting effects, however….recurrence of traumatic material affecting our daily lives and causing us to avoid places or people, hyperarousal leading to ongoing sensitivity to possible threat and regular excessive startle response compared to other people, periodic hypoarousal or collapse into faints or restless sleep…the good news is that there are an increasing number of techniques which offset these traumatic residues, allowing the brain and the body to consign the trauma to history where it belongs. A key element of all of them is successful engagement of the right cerebral hemisphere, the part of our brain that deals with sensation and images and sounds. Interestingly, Lightning Process does just this, so although it is not yet considered as a post-traumatic technique, I would not be surprised if that changed. LP allows us to harness all that is best in ourselves, and trauma recovery is surely part of what is best in human beings. Won’t it be great if more people can recover from early trauma and live life to the full, untrammelled by those old unfinished experiences? Live, laugh, love – I saw these words on a pretty Swiss dish towel. Yes, most of us want just that!

Then I might stop and choose how I want to feel next, as I architect my own role in this Christmas, taking a balanced and healthy perspective and making use of the Lightning Process. Happy Christmas tide to one and all, with the gift of the Present being available to all of us. Deep breath – lovely, free, oxygen! All the very best to you here now.

So if I start imbuing my life with excellent states by using Lightning Process today, I will affect those brand new cells and in a month, they will have settled into a new position in my brain where they can continue influencing me into a life I love. If I use Lightning Process every day for 100 days, I will have over a million new LIL brain cells….howzat! And of course, all my existing brain cells have a degree of plasticity and responsiveness, so they will be taking on lovely life states as well…so it is not surprising people can make the dramatic changes they do make with LP. Amazing!

They migrate through the brain finding where repairs are needed and adapting to the relevant cell type, becoming fully functional in only 30 days. If I have been du^ing stress, I will have killed off some hippocampal cells, so these cells will need to be replaced. I am now planning to d^u lots of calm balance for the next 30 days so I generate extra calm balance in my brain and in all its connections – pleasant and helpful prospect, and probably great for my health. PS if you don’t know about d^u – check it out on www.duing.org or get the book from Amazon: D^u – Unlock your full potential with a word.

It has been sustained and dramatically improved over the five years. To celebrate, I gave myself a few days in London, staying at the lovely Caledonian Club, and caught up with old friends. I had dinner with one former partner of mine from my corporate days, whom I hadn’t seen for a long time.  He said he was so glad to see me back to my old self. Me too!

These skills are exceptional and it is sheer delight to pass them on to other people so that they too rediscover the joy in life.  Two more graduates this week, my first to learn the Lightning Process in the calm splendour of the Club’s Oval Room – an appropriate place for people to discover a new way of living which honours themselves fully and enables them to do whatever they choose with panache and pleasure.  And here’s to my next 5 years!
