    They should have called it Chronic EXHAUSTION Syndrome. It ain’t just simple fatigue. They did us no justice calling it fatigue.
  • @npc328
    It’s so rare to actually see someone put specifics like this in a free video - kudos on doing this!!

    Hi I am currently working with Jay and I made huge improvements. From bedbound 24/7 unable to go 10 steps to the bathroom (when I had my first call with him I couldnt even hold my head for more than 2 minutes) to right now chilling after 3 hours long photoshoot in a hotel room planning to go to pick up some food for the editing (I am a photographer), currently on 2-3k steps a day. I am still recovering and experiencing ups and downs but I just all want to let you know that Jay is an amazing, kind, smart and gentle guide. His programm is great but his leading is the best. He really wants you fully better. Especially at the beginning when you feel like there is no end of the suffering he is bringing so much energy and light. 🌟🌟🌟
  • Hi! 20 yrs ago, I was a former NCAA athlete. Trained and moved fast with intensity to live life to the fullest . I was racing my bike. Band winning offen. Fittest I’d ever been at age 35. Winning races and almost literally one day I woke up and it literally felt like I had just gone to bed after riding 100 miles. Back then, CF was almost laughed at by doctors. Most not recognizing CF but my tiders and symptoms showed it. I went from massive diet changes, exercise adjustments and slow retreat from things I loved to do. I was raising two healthy boys at the same time so- no time to really stop. It was brutal! I remember wishing I had thyroid dysfunction or Hashimotos so at least it was acknowledged. I stumbled on th is program… but I in my own way, found the process, meditation and understood my mental state and wickedly high cortisol levels that were self induced. So happy to see this now for people today! The process is a learning process for the future- after this CF resolves. Bless you all!

    Raelan, I can’t begin to tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time to make these videos.
  • @HollyFurgason
    There is a small percentage of people with a condition called aphantasia who can't visualize. We literally see only black when we try to visualize and most of us are born with it. All is not lost though when it comes to brain training. If you can't visualize, you can still think about, imagine or feel during brain training sessions. I overcame anxiety and now I'm working on overcoming long COVID without literal visualization.
  • @cccampbell5095
    Wow! Thank you…I’ve been sick now for over 14 years—essentially my sons entire life, and I’m a single parent. 😢 I’m not even through the whole video yet and I know this is the answer I’ve been praying for. Thank you (crying tears of joy). ❤️🙏🦋

    I first met Jason when I was training as a Lightning Process Practitioner. He recovered with The Lightning Process and had trained as a Practitioner the year before me and was mentoring new students in London, including me. I wish him well now he is using the techniques he learned in his LP training to practice independently. Six years later I am still an LP Practitioner and am so happy that we are able to help people get well with Long Covid now.
  • @earthcanary
    There were no recovery stories when I became ill (decades ago); these are amazing stories and so inspiring! also: I visualize swimming in warm, healing ocean waters! Beach!💛 What a great interview and i am experiencing genuine healing! Thank you both!
  • @Ronzo777
    Appreciate this. This info is usually hidden behind a large paywall, and surrounded with filler. Fair play to Jason for sharing this info freely to help those who need it! :)
  • I remember laying down for meditation during my worst months, and many times I would get back up and feel lighter, like my body was literally stronger. Visualization works
  • @8draupadi
    I listened to the video and it was so promising, so I booked a free consultation with Jason and hoped he can help. A lot of reminders came daily before day - its ok. Also, he arrived with a lot of late, it also can happen. But he was unfriendly, and after telling my story he said he thinks I am not ready (maybe financially he means?) and without empathy and any explanation, he cut the conversation and said goodbye. Sent some book recommendations without any further steps (general books that everyone knows in these topics) but he should know that with this condition it could not be a solution to read for hours. It was an embarrassing and unpleasant situation - especially when someone really feels that this is the last hope and goes there with high expectations after a video like this. Hey, we are human beings with feelings and emotions and we should be respectful with others, not just chasing money. Thank you for reading.
  • @Bachconcertos
    I suffered constant abuse at jobs bullying etc and my body finally broke down.
  • @kyeager8455
    This video brought me to tears with renewed hope to reverse all these terrible things I've been dealing with. I was only diagnosed last year and only had the effects for the past few years but I'm so thankful this popped up because now I know I can beat it!!
  • @judyprm
    This sounds like cognitive behavioural therapy, which I can see would work. You get so caught up in feeling ill, the hopeless of it that you are in a constant state of stress. You feel so lonely as everyone else gets on with their lives, which exacerbates everything. So I can see that to pull yourself out of the negativity and the stressed state of your body recovery could happen. Thanks for the ray of hope.
  • @IxMAGlCxl
    Today is a new year, new opportunities and it will be better than the last. It will be my 4th yr with severe ME/CFS and Ill be joining a brain retraining program this month. My hope is ill comment again this yr to let you know I'm fully recovered. Let's Go 2023!!!! Thanks for all the vids.
  • Love seeing other people healing using these tools! This is my FAVORITE topic! <3
  • @sergiorrwodz
