This is a great little article about the power of swapping just two words in your speech or thoughts:
changing BUT for AND
and replacing HAVE TO with WANT TO

A client's video and blog of his life after the Lightning Process
Take a look at this video, made by a client who did the Lightning Process course one and a half years ago.
He has also written a blog all about his experiences at the time and everything that he has been able to do since:
A Celebration!
The Bristol and Bath Lightning Process Team have a
big Celebration coming up on Wednesday 27th January and we are very excited about
it! We have invited everybody that has done the Lightning Process with us in
the past to get together, meet each other, and to celebrate their achievements
and the amazing changes they have made in their lives. We will also be eating,
drinking, and generally have a bit of a party, in a delightful venue in Bristol.
Phil Parker,
the designer of the Lightning Process, will be coming down from London to join
in the festivities and meet everyone. Those of you who are coming, if you have one of his books and want him to sign it, bring it along. Otherwise, we will have some books for sale.
We will also
be celebrating the launch of our Bristol and Bath Lightning Process Head Office Team.

New Year and a new Bristol and Bath Team
Happy New Year! What are you planning to do in 2016 to live your life the way you want to? What changes do you want to introduce? What do you need to let go of? And what do you want to bring in or have more of?
My new year's resolution is to return to blogging, which I neglected in 2015 as I got on with the rest of life. So here we are!
There is another exciting new development for my work with the Lightning Process in 2016: four of us in Bristol and Bath have got together to create the new Phil Parker Bristol and Bath Team. We are going to be working closely with Phil and with each other to offer Lightning Process courses in the Bristol and Bath area. In addition, we will be offering free introductory talks every couple of months, Refresher courses for graduates of the Lightning Process, and other fun and interesting things! To find out more, visit our new website, www.lightningprocessbristol.com.

Author Lucy Robinson learns the Lightning Process
Best-selling author Lucy Robinson has written an article which appeared in Stylist magazine on April 1st. For the full article go to:
http://www.stylist.co.uk/home/i-choose-happy-because-its-so-much-better-than-the-alternative-one-writer-on-how-a-devastating-illness-changed-her-outlook#image-rotator-1
She says:
"It’s beyond the scope of this article to explain how the Lightning Process works but the basic fact is this: it taught me how to influence physical problems over which I thought I was powerless. .....
Some of us can influence our mental and physical states naturally, and others simply can’t. I was one of the latter. But all I needed to become someone who can were some simple yet powerful tools, and those were exactly what I got. Equipped thus, I flew. I haven’t looked back. ......
I chose happy. And I’m going to keep on choosing happy, every day, because it’s so much better than any of the alternatives. I learned the hard way how precious my life is and I don’t intend to squander that gift one single day more. "

A saying from Lao Tzu
A client who has just done the Lightning Process sent me this, written by Lao Tzu:
Watch your thoughts;
They become words.
Watch your words;
They become actions.
Watch your actions;
They become habits.
Watch your habits;
They become character.
Watch your character;
It becomes your destiny.
Watch your thoughts;
They become words.
Watch your words;
They become actions.
Watch your actions;
They become habits.
Watch your habits;
They become character.
Watch your character;
It becomes your destiny.

Horizon programme on placebos
A fascinating Horizon programme on placebos is now available on Youtube to watch:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKG1lgI4zIk
It says: "Ultimately it is about the link between our minds and our bodies. Whether it is fear or hope, our thoughts and expectations can trigger chemical reactions that change our bodies."
One of the most fascinating bits for me was that even when people were told that they were getting a placebo pill, 62% of people still got adequate relief from Irritable Bowel Syndrome, while only 30% got adequate relief from no pill at all. And the symptoms came back when they finished the pills, even thought they knew they were placebo pills!
It also looks at the use of hypnosis to create responses in the body: pain relief in a wisdom tooth extraction. Horizon suggests that this shows it is possible to access the body's natural healing mechanisms through the words a practitioner chooses and how those words are used, as well as through placebo pills or operations.
