I left [job] to follow my vision, Lee :) There is so much I want to do and create, not just for myself, but also for/with the amazing people that I have the opportunity to share life with. Now's the time. I never want to look back on my life and wish that I had the courage or time to do this or that. I do... and the time is now.
Brain States has changed everything for me - I cannot tell you that enough, it seems. I'm ME, but better and it's the best feeling in the world. I will forever be a BST advocate. There are so many people around my mom and me who are in awe about all the change that's taken place within us and most of them are so supportive, intrigued and wanting to visit BST; some are simply afraid of it all and have turned away. That is all right... hard to swallow and understand sometimes, but we all drive our realities and lives - I just refuse to let fear invade mine anymore! So, OFF WITH THEIR HEADS! I mean... OFF TO MY LIFE! (hee hee hee)

To Lee, Peter, Mindy & John: This is only a short note to say "Thank You" for helping me to change my life. I cannot stop talking about all of you & how blessed I am to have gotten to know all of you during the course of my training. If it was only the fact that I now sleep so soundly & wake up refreshed & ready for the day, that would be sufficient. However, everyday I recognize & live a better life simply because I know that I can. Recently I needed to have a root canal performed & I have carried such fear of dental procedures since I was about 10 years old. I have always needed relaxation drugs to get me through even the easiest visits to the dentist. I had the dentist prescribe the usual valium, but as the day got closer I realized there was no anxiety, no fear & I didn't fill the prescription. I went into that "root canal procedure" confident, sat down in the chair & went through 2 1/2 hours of drilling & filling. Afterwards, I did not even need a tylenol for pain & slept like a baby that night. No other explanation than I believed I could do it & I believed that because of my brain training. So, thank you all for helping me to regain that trust in self.

Hi! Just want to thank you so much for what you are doing and for what you have done for me! After I left on Friday, I decided to remain "med free" until I felt that I noticed (or someone else lovingly told me) that I needed to return to the Adderall. I felt so balanced, focused, calm and present that I didn't want to mess it up! I am happy to report that I am on day 11 and haven't resorted to taking the Adderall. Jim says that he loves the focus, the balance and the "lack of crisis and cramming too much into one day" that he experienced since my return. The funny thing is that I still am "me"!!! Only better!

Life is hell, but golf game isn't. Thought I'd bring you up to date with what's happening with my golf game. There must be a long term residual effect from your program. We haven't seen each other for a few months, but my golf game continues to improve. If memory serves me, when we started my handicap was arount a 12. Think it got down to about a 9 at the end of the year.

Currently, as of 4/1 it's at an 8.3, and I expect it to be under an 8 when the new ones come out in May. Hitting the ball great off the tee. Irons are better than they were, and putting has significantly improved. Not missing many short ones, and it's not unusual for me to make at least one or two 20 footers in a round. I think I've only been over 81 twice in about the last 12-15 rounds.

I've noticed that I seem to get "in the zone" more often and stay there longer. About 3 weeks ago, I had a 34 (2under) on the front 9 at Palm Valley. Then of course I started thinking about the score rather than the next shot and immediately shot a 42 on the back. Still, 76 ain't bad.

My sleep is good, all in all better than since I was in my teens. I go to sleep fairly quickly, can nap on a plane, that sort of thing. I still wake up in the middle of the night, but at worst can take a tranquilizer and go back to sleep. Still haven't taken a sleeping pill in several weeks. Oh, and my blood pressure on Friday - without a pill - was 124 over 90. Maybe a little high on the low end, but certainly not at the upper. With the pill, in July (before my sessions), it was something like 115 over 70. Definetly better than before I started my sessions!

I was experiencing a lot of trouble with peri-menopausal insomnia - and was treating it on an almost habitual basis with sleeping pills. I wanted to get away from making the pills a habit - and discontinued them. It was very difficult. I would do all the "right" things... no caffeine after 3PM, to to bed the same time each night, exhausted, in the dark, comfortable room temperature - and I would just lay there every night. It became critical when I missed 3 entire nights of sleep...and then saw Lee at the office. I was fatigued, headachy and red-eyed. Lee offered to facilitate a short session (10 -15 minutes), and that night I was able to sleep! The following week I did another session (20-30 minutes) - with exceptional results! I am now having much more success falling asleep and use my meds only as a last resort.
