Russell Stubbs – Lightning Process Advanced Practitioner gives an overview of the Lightning Process training programme.

The Lightning Process is beneficial for many conditions.

I will refer to the condition of CFS – Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in the following article. However, the same principals apply equally to M.E. – Myalgic Encephomyalitis, F.M. – Fibromyalgia and P.V.F.S. – Post Viral fatigue Syndrome. The training is also relevant to other health conditions that benefit from a positive influence on the immune system.

What triggers the onset of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

There are a number of different triggers for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Sufferers can develop the condition after contracting a bacterial infection or virus. For some, the trigger can be linked to a build up of stress or one specific traumatic incident. Vaccinations, operations, toxins, injuries, etc. can also cause the condition to develop.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome can persist for years.

Irrespective of how the condition starts, a common pathway appears to form. The condition then persists, sometimes for years or decades. During this time sufferers typically seek help from conventional and alternative medical practitioners. Many treatment approaches result in limited or short-term success and the search for a cure continues.

How does the stress response play a part in this condition?

All of the current research into Chronic Fatigue Syndrome indicates a sustained stress response. Some approaches aim at treating the condition by alleviating specific symptoms. Others attempt to instruct sufferers in techniques they can use to best manage their energy. The key point is being missed by these approaches. Long term recovery is unlikely until the stress response can be reduced and bought back into balance.

The Lightning Process – a discovery process

The Lightning Process is a training programme that takes part in small groups over a three day period. On day one, participants go through a discovery process. This is in order to uncover unconscious patterns that drive the stress response. These patterns include common behaviors, thought processes, beliefs and expectations. These play a key role in maintaining the condition although they were not the original cause.

Are these patterns unique to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

These patterns are not only found within this condition, but are common traits to most humans. They become a problem when out of balance, which in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, appears to be a common pattern. As part of the course we also identify the affects on physiology of a sustained stress response. Most bodily systems are adversely affected when the stress response is activated over the long term.

How can we change these patterns using Lightning Process?

After discovering the powerful link between mind and body, participants are then taught how to use this connection to positively influence health. Through using specific body movements and a set of targeted questions participants learn to change these destructive patterns from moment-to-moment. When used consistently it becomes possible to collapse the cycle of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

How can we utilize neural plasticity using the Lightning Process?

The brain has the ability to adapt and change according to experience, this is called “neural plasticity”. The Lightning Process becomes an effective tool for harnessing this brain function. With the right training and consistent application it is possible to literally re-form pathways in the brain. By uncovering damaging responses and then changing them from moment-to-moment this becomes an effective way of positively influencing health and well-being.

Is the Lightning Process something everyone can use?

Unfortunately the Lightning Process is not for everyone. It is not a treatment or therapy, it is a training programme and as such it is vital that the participant is ready and willing to make the necessary changes. It is also a requirement that the participant is committed to doing the work that can be challenging. The results can be quite remarkable for those people who are ready and committed. Every year thousands of people use the Lightning Process training to help turn their health and lives around.
