The live online course is a neuro-physiological training programme that helps you to discover what has been keeping you stuck and teaches you how to influence your overall health and well-being using the science of the brain body connection.

You will learn to be your own coach and leave with in-depth knowledge and powerful tools that include gentle movement, innovative meditation-like techniques and mental exercises. You will have all you need to know in order to switch on and strengthen the neural pathways that are helpful to you and promote healthier physiology. With practice you will run these automatically and switch off pathways that are not good for you.

The Lightning Process® was developed in the 1990s by Dr Phil Parker. Even then, it was years ahead of the curve; a pioneering concept and training. As Phil has continued to refine it, it remains at the cutting edge of coaching techniques and helps to awaken people to the power they hold to influence their brain and body. Over the past 25 years over 75,000 people have done the Lightning Process® and nearly all say that it greatly improved their lives and would recommend it to others.

How does it work?

Phil’s extensive knowledge of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), coaching and his background in osteopathy informed the design of the Lightning Process®. The training focuses on how to bring your body back to natural equilibrium and use the power of neuroplasticity to forge new neural pathways that will be more helpful for long-term health and happiness. 

The fight or flight response is central to this or what we call the physical emergency response (PER). This is how our body evolved to ensure our survival in the wild when it perceives a threat. When activated it floods our bodies with chemicals and hormones to help you to fight or run away. This is fantastic news for the unique but quite rare scenarios that would probably last a few seconds like encountering a tiger. We get into difficulty when this ‘switch’ is flipped too often and for too long. Chronic long-term arousal of this emergency system re-wires our nerve pathways and constant production of those hormones drastically depletes our bodily systems - the ones responsible for our healing, digestion, sleep and clear thinking. Illness, viruses, accidents, work stresses, relationships, finances can all create this emergency response in the body.

The Lightning Process® is such a powerful tool because it can be applied to so many different issues and it teaches you to recognise when that emergency response is active and how to quieten it and in doing so, return your body to its natural balanced state.

Neuroplasticity

This is a fascinating phenomenon where our brains have the ability to change and respond based on how we use them. The more we do something the stronger that neural pathway becomes and our brain starts to do that automatically. It’s always working in the background so with the right direction, lasting change can happen really quickly. We will work to harness that power and re-wire your brain to automatically operate in ways that will generate profound boosts to health and well-being.
