Thinking Clearly - when you need it the most

A young woman of 15 years who had a major problem with anxiety!  She is a pianist having performed in front of audiences since a very early age.  However, she always hated performing and suffered major anxiety attacks before every single performance.

This anxiety was also a big problem for any type of ‘performance’ and was becoming a serious issue with her attending interviews while looking for work.  Her mother told me that the night before a recent interview she was in tears, was having trouble breathing properly, and was a complete mess and unable to think straight

This by the way, is a fine example of the Flight/Fight response, where under stress the brain basically shuts down three quarters of its functions (the whole of the right hemisphere and the front of the left hemisphere of the brain), in order to pump blood to the extremities in preparation for confronting/fighting or for running away.  This is a normal common stress response and in today’s society is becoming a daily occurrence so that unfortunately it then affects people’s abilities to think clearly, make decisions, and learn anything new, it affects your memory and interferes in carrying out even simple tasks.  It has become such a daily occurrence that people often no longer recognize it as an issue.

To get back to the interview, she couldn’t think straight, couldn’t answer questions properly and felt like she had failed miserably.  Two weeks later she had another interview, but between these times I treated her for anxiety / panic and she went home, expressing that the treatment seemed a bit strange, but ok.

Her mum told the story that that evening she and her other daughter went into her bedroom to offer advice and encouragement in order to help her over the tears and anxiety.  She was quite calm and told them both clearly that she didn’t need any help as she wasn’t anxious in the least – as if she didn’t know what all the fuss was about.  She performed extremely well during the interview meeting and answering all the questions with clarity and confidence.  Her mum thinks that her daughter actually didn’t realize just how different she was from one interview to the next.

The success of Neuro-Training is that the person often doesn’t realize that some behaviours ‘just change’ and the pain, anguish, negativity, lack of confidence, whatever it is, seems to just disappear. The change is easy and comfortable and IMMEDIATE, although awareness of those changes may not become apparent to the individual until after a situation has occurred that they now respond differently too; or when they are questioned; or until they think it through.  Good stuff eh?

Anxiety (and Phobias)?


It’s a strange word but unfortunately the symptoms are just plain unpleasant.
·      Racing heart and sometimes palpitations
·      Feeling short of breath or rapid breathing
·      Difficulty facing crowds/going out in public/or a specific phobia (fear of germs?)
·      Worrying for no particular reason
·      Difficulty falling asleep or waking in the middle of the night worrying
·      Dry mouth
·      Sharp chest pains that come and go
·      Numbness or tingling around the mouth or fingertips, etc

A client who suffered many symptoms of anxiety (some not listed here), dreaded going on any longish trip, whether it was to visit friends in another state, or a holiday.  These things are all positive and happy events... right?  They should be, but for her were saturated by anxiety and stress.

She knew that leading up to the actual trip she’d suffer anxiety and did not enjoy the actual trip either, whether it was flying, coach or train.  On arrival, she knew she’d then experience 3-4 days of stomach upsets of the worst kind that totally interfered with those days, spending much of the time in and out of toilets!!  Then she’d have to travel back and go through exactly the same symptoms again on arrival home.

Since having a session with Neuro-Training and Kinesiology (read about this on the website), she no longer suffers this at all. AT ALL! She now has her life back and can look forward to travel, visiting and holidays with total enjoyment of the whole experiences as they should be.

An added bonus is that this particular client used to suffer bad dreams several times a week and approximately monthly nightmares for as long as she can remember (since a very young child).  These have also disappeared and from what she explained about these, they were particularly nasty and unbelievably frightening.

You no longer have to suffer from this debilitating situation or condition – you certainly can avoid the use of drugs to manage it!  You get your life back (how many times have clients said just that)!

Bully.... or Bullied?


Abuse by any other name...

I’ve always hated the thought of bullying, still do, but after an interesting conversation with a recent client it made me think.  I’ve been on the receiving end of mental and emotional abuse, which in some ways is more difficult to deal with than physical abuse.  Why? Because often it is SO well hidden from view and the person doing that type of abuse is extremely clever at camouflage.  They often present as really friendly, jovial ‘nice to know’ people and everyone NOT on the receiving end thinks they are just charming and often seemingly generous.

A seemingly innocent compliment often contains an insult or a cutting remark, with the compliment hiding the real impact of the barb.  You are so aware of the flattery they get away with the well hidden insult.  Before long the barbs are far more prevalent and still sounding faintly like a compliment that you feel petty pointing it out.  Too late!  You are now hooked and accepting what will soon develop into full emotional and mental control that is very hard to come back from.  After all, you’ve never said anything before, so why start complaining now?  It is truly insidious it is so subtle.  Their control over your developing feelings of being in the wrong all the time is exactly where they want you to be.

You end up feeling very confused, beaten down, guilty and full of despair and you’re really not sure how this came about.  There seems no way out of the situation.  Even to think of trying to explain what is happening to anyone seems impossible, because after all, how do you describe it?  You know it will just sound like sour grapes on your part, also you realise you really should be able to manage this yourself, it seems almost silly. Bullies are extremely masterful at finding your vulnerabilities or your pride in something you care about.  They manage to make you feel inadequate, incompetent, weak, unworthy, unimportant and pathetic.

I’ve come to realise though, just why these people are so very masterful and brilliant in their abilities to do this to others.  It’s because they UNDERSTAND what those feelings are all about!  In order not to feel them themselves, they pull others down that are close to them, step on them and squash them in order to make them feel bigger and stronger and more important.  In other words, THEY are the ones that need sympathy and understanding.  They are the ones who are inadequate and have extremely low self-esteem – not you. 

Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to help them to see this, as their self-defence is SO strong they believe fully what they have created for themselves.  After all, anything you believe, is true!  So the saying goes.  They believe they are fine thank you very much and nothing is wrong with them.  Deep, deep inside though they are scared to death that they will be found out, so they lash out to those who are close in order to hide what is really going on inside.  They deserve pity really, as they will probably never (be able to) change. Whereas the bullied can and often do find help to overcome their abuse and rediscover their own strengths again.  I did, and so do countless others.

So pity the bullies as they are stuck in the cages of their own making and believe strongly that everything is just fine in their world.  Move on, grow your life and live it.  Surround yourself with beautiful souls who care about you.

If you need help to recuperate from any forms of abuse, to enable you to better grow into your future and leave the old scars behind, then Neuro-Training can and does help enormously, easily and quickly without having to revisit old and often painful memories.  Go to Brilliant Living to find out more, or contact us direct.

Burning Pain

I’ve had a 59 year old client recently, who has a number of chronic health conditions that she’s had for years.  She has tried many different modalities and some have given her a modicum of relief, others no relief at all.  One of her main issues is muscle weakness and pain.  Her muscles are so weak that she finds if she ‘forces’ herself to lift a full glass of water, later her whole arm can experience muscle pain.  Consequently, she tells me that at times she can’t even open the fridge door.


She has been coming to see me now for a few Neuro-Training sessions and each time reports a small but positive change for the better.  I find I have to go very slowly indeed, as her tolerance level is very low, even though the sessions themselves are very gentle and not arduous at all.  To begin with she was very concerned that I wouldn’t be able to even use her arm for long without causing her distress the following day.  This proved not to be a concern and she has tolerated the gentle movements we do in Kinesiology easily. 

As usual, at the next session, I asked if she had noticed any changes or not. Her response was “very good for two weeks. I improved fantastically, I was really happy, positive and walking around more than usual” - she was excited to experience these things.  There was a large ‘but’ looming and she said “then everything went bad after that”. When questioned what might have happened at that time, she told me she had had another, different type of treatment (involving some form of electrical energy that goes through the body).  According to her it reversed all the good progress and she was left with excruciating burning pain in her left hand that kept her awake at nights.

Neuro-Training involves many modalities depending on the client’s requirements at the time, one of which can be working with meridians (energy).  One particular process during her session, required to improve the flow of energy between two meridians (one location in the hand and the other on the foot) on both sides of the body.  This was only a small part of the whole treatment.  She told me afterwards that immediately following the meridian work, the burning pain in her left hand disappeared.  She had noticed it go, but didn’t say anything at the time in case it ‘didn’t last’ or was just her imagination.  It did last and has not come back again since.  We were both so pleased at this complete eradication of her pain.


She has since decided that she will not be going back to that particular type of treatment again as she is now getting more progress with NTK than she has with any other type of treatment so far.  She still has a way to go, but with NTK you can find that a particular session will make a sudden and positive change that has a domino effect on many other worrying symptoms that (over time), just disappear.  (For instance, defusing anxiety and the client finds a sudden increase in energy - more on that in another blog!)  So I believe she will be turning a corner soon and will be on the up-slope to better health, strength and energy.

For now, if you are silently suffering with any form of pain, mental, emotional, physical or spiritual, then NTK may be able to help you.  Check out our website on Brilliant Living Solutions and give us a call - right NOW!
