What people say
Ross
Ross sent me this email just over a year after he did the Lightning Process with me:
"I feel compelled to write you a message of heartfelt thanks for the amazing gift you've given me. One year later and I am still stunned that such an incredible thing exists.
Not only did I get the best result I could have imagined from the seminar - a complete turn around in my health in a matter of days - but have also gained an unbelievably effective way to get what I want from life.
Several times now I have been in real trouble, and you have never failed to get me back on track, with compassion, belief in me, and mastery of the process. I dread to think what might have happened if you hadn't, the whole course of my future life could have been very different.
As I continue to develop my skills in using the lightning process I am able to make quantum leaps of wellbeing, and am finding so much joy in being able to manifest whatever internal resources I dream up for myself. I'm feeling vibrant, powerful, peaceful, confident, exuberant, playful and more in tune with my true sense of self than I've been since I was a child.
I can't thank you enough for what is the most valuable, life-changing thing I have ever been gifted."

“When I was considering the lightning process…. it's a tough decision when you have no idea what is going to work for you, so I'm sharing what I wish I had known last year. I was quite ill at the time and I thought that if it could be sorted within 3 short days then surely everyone would know about it and be doing it. But I was desperate, and a friend of mine knew someone who said that it had changed their life, so I started the course hoping that it might make some kind of difference.
The process combines a number of different techniques, some of them I knew about, others that were new.
I found that the science behind the process made sense to me, and that I could identify changes in myself very quickly. For me, this helped my motivation to use and apply the tools of the process. The speed of change can be almost scary sometimes.
I left the course at the end of day 3 supercharged and if anything a little bit hyper - but like any training, it only works if you practice it and I'm a normal human being. I had up and downs, times when I didn't bother, times when I called Hilary terrified that it wasn't working for me. Each conversation ended with me completing the process successfully and realising that I was walking old paths - which was very normal.
This was the true gift of the lightning process for me - being kind to myself, understanding why I was ill, and how to get better, but that nobody consciously chooses to do this to themselves.
It gave me tools that I can use when I experience an old trigger I hadn't realised was there, and it was the first thing that really worked for me.
It's impossible to put into words how different my life is today- but most people wouldn't notice anything really significant. I'm not leaping tall buildings in a single bound, I haven't become a brain surgeon or moved to Tibet to become a Buddhist monk (although I do meditate and I never could before).
The difference is on the inside. I'm learning that clever trick I always thought was out of reach for me - how to feel positive about life, know that there are bad times, that horrible experiences happen, but also know that they end and life is good.
I'm sorry if I've rambled a bit, I think that's because I find it hard to put into words what the lightning process does without it sounding too good to be true.
For me, it's no exaggeration to say that the lightning process probably saved my life.”

Steffan also recently sent me this updated summary of everything he has done since the Lightning Process, and some photos:
Steffan’s Lightning Process Story
"I did the Lightning Process (LP) in May 2014 for my moderate M.E (CFS) which I had suffered with for around 6 years. I was resigned to fact that I would probably never work enough to afford a house and I would never have the energy required to have children.
Biggest Achievements
-Being on top form for my own wedding. The day could not have gone better.
-Succeeding in securing two jobs during the last year, both physically demanding. Both more hours than I have worked per week during the 6 years.
-Going for walks measured in miles rather than meters.
-Achieving all goals in my pre LP form listing “ideally I would like to…” including finally starting a band. Finishing building arcade machine in time for wedding reception and stag party. Joining gym and attending it (even on a work evening), running around field near home (never done before).
- Making new remix 27,554 views and counting on youtube. Recording singing and guitar in recording studio, always wanted to do.

- Homeowner since June 2016.
- Father since September 2016!"

"Before attending the Lightning Process course, I had been feeling unwell for about 2 years. I would experience extreme fatigue for no obvious reason, digestion problems leading to nausea and surges of adrenaline when I really didn't need them. I'd learnt to live with the symptoms but only by strictly limiting what I did. It was only when I heard someone else tell me that I wasn't fit enough to do something that I decided to go on the Lightning Process course. A family friend who had been ill for 10 years had attended the course with Hilary, had immediately started to feel better and recommended the course to me.
Hilary was brilliant with me, clearly explaining the principles of the course whilst gently exploring issues that I needed to address. There was nothing about the course that was inconsistent with my Christian faith and I was able to relax and enjoy the prospect of feeling better. Putting into practice what I'd learnt, I immediately started to notice a difference in how I felt and now I have none of the symptoms that were a blight on my life beforehand."

"I did the Lightning Process course with Hilary after having been ill for 11 ½ years. Life was very frustrating even though I paced myself and rested a lot. I had to reduce my working hours from 37 to 16 and was still frequently off sick for weeks at a time. I had to limit my activities extremely carefully and often spent hours in bed recovering.
I then heard about two people who were much more badly affected than me who had done the LP with extremely positive results. I contacted both people and heard their individual stories. It made a real difference to be able to talk to two genuine people whom I could trust and hear their experiences of doing the course and the effect on their lives.
I contacted Hilary who was very easy to talk to. Hilary took a lot of time to answer my questions and to make sure that I was ready to do the course.
It really has given me a new lease of life and I never have to think about my energy levels now. I can enjoy everyday things like going for a walk, having coffee with friends, going out in the evening (the list is endless), without feeling ill afterwards.
I was very apprehensive about spending three days away on the course. However, I am so pleased that I did and have since recommended Hilary to a number of friends with very positive results
I have very much appreciated Hilary’s professional, committed and caring approach before, during and after the course. I have been in contact a number of times since, and have benefitted from her advice on how to apply the LP in a number of different situations."

"My story is one of 15 years of chronic ill health that resulted in loss of job and loss of home. So here I am, 4 weeks after completing the lightning process .... I have moved on. I have a life of energy, happiness and joy: I feel fantastic. There is so much to do, so much to see, and I can choose – where do I start?
Thank you Hilary, thank you Phil. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have given me my life back, you have given my husband his wife back and my children their mother. I have re-found myself, and I like what I see. I have just been to a wedding where I danced until midnight, drove people home and got into bed at 1.45am. Before the lightning process this would not have been possible. Now anything is possible."

"Before I did the Lightning Process with Hilary I didn't feel confident about most things. For example I didn't like ordering drinks, taking things back to shops, or going to things on my own. I had learned ways to cope but it felt like a big deal to think of doing any of these things. I used to worry about things that weren't worth worrying about, and now I don't. On the second day of the course I ordered a drink at a gig and didn't even think about it, I just did it. Before I would have asked someone else or worried about it for a long time. By the third day I was struggling to find something that I was no longer confident about! I was feeling positive 99% of the time. A week later I had sat on my own in the Colston Hall, feeling confident and enjoying it, and I had arrived earlier than my friend at a cafe and felt fine about it. Five months later I feel just as confident and these things come naturally now.
Now I don't even need to think about my confidence or do the Process on it, because my confidence is so much better. After doing the LP I am more relaxed, calm, positive and confident, chilled out. I am like everybody else! The experience was brilliant and life changing, I do the things I want to do effortlessly now."

"I did the LP to help with confidence around relationships with men, weight loss, stress, and a compulsive habit.
I had had a compulsive habit of skin checking for 30 years which was so much in the background that I didn't even think to mention it before the LP. It changed overnight between the first and second day of the LP, 90% disappearing, and if it ever recurs now I can spot and stop it quickly.
I used to be very insecure and negative around men and relationships and to think that men would never look at me. I now feel radically different in my confidence. I expect a different reaction so I see a different reaction. I now I realise that men are interested and I am attractive and that a relationship would be possible. I feel that my world view has changed about this.
I also have a generally happier outlook on life. I am starting to do sculpture again after a 14 year break, and generally focussing more on what I really want. I can use the LP to give myself energy and a sense of wellbeing now if I feel rundown and lethargic.
I also used the LP to change my habits around food and exercise. I am now able to focus using the LP on what I really do want and the long term rather than immediate gratification.
This has made it very clear why I needed to change my habits and aided my weight loss.
The LP has given me insights into different sides of my personality, and allowed me to reshape my world view."

“For the 1st time ever I have been offered the precious gift of being truly kind to myself, in thought, word and deed. Working with Hilary is simply a joy.”
