Thank you for coming to this page.
It’s really useful to know that there are two ‘models’ with understanding pain.
The biomechanics model says pain is a message of damage that comes from the body. It’s an output of the body to alert us there is damage. The bio-psycho-social model says that pain is generated in the brain. It is about protection from threat. It is experienced in the body because that is the only way we can experience it, however it’s about the brain’s perception of threat. Therefore, many factors (bio-psycho-social) are all at play when the brain decides whether to protect you through pain.
So, one model is ‘find it and fix it’ and the other, looks to why the brain is inaccurately protecting the person.
So far, you may have been taken down the ‘find it and fix it’ model of understanding. So, there is a big shift in thinking here. Success is high because you will finally be working on the drivers of pain.
Miriama came to the Lightning Process in 2019, after experiencing chronic pain in her foot for a year. She quickly came off all medication and started back into dancing, swimming and living life again.
Recently she attended the National Highland games and I enjoyed catching up with her and her parents.
It's so incredible. I feel so good... doing so well! And people said how great I looked... how happy... like the old Eryl. I said well this Eryl is even better!
Before learning and doing the Lightning Process 2 months ago, I was chronically tired staying in bed the whole day (not very ideal). I was feeling hopeless and all those other nasty thoughts that come with it. I had no job, I was getting sick constantly, I didn’t want to socialize with my friends or family. I was very stuck and I didn’t know how to get out. It was scary!
On the 4 August 2019 I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I have 11 lesions in my brain and 5 in my spine. It is random. In me it affected the left side of my body. One night my left side went numb. It lasted a week. I went to the doctor and was sent straight to hospital for tests. I spent a week in hospital. I was treated with steroids and bed bound for a month. My shock was complete!! My family were in disbelief and I ended up taking 4 weeks off work as a full time teacher.
I decided back in late November 2019 to do the Lightning Process. One of the first changes that we made was to change the name of the dramatic event to a silly word with no negative memories or associations. So from then on I didn’t talk about having had four strokes but rather that I had had four ”sausages” (my choice of word). However, for the sake of this document I will refer to them as mini-strokes
In the three days of doing the Lightning Process with Jenny, and over the weekend that followed, I made more positive change to my life than I’d done for many years. Even better, I knew I’d been equipped with skills to make my life what I wanted it to be. Everyone needs this training. There is no need to read any further – just book with Jenny and learn the techniques for yourself! But if you like a backstory, here’s mine…
