Since going through brain training I no longer have a desire for drugs or alcohol. The thought of them makes me sick!”
Kristen E.,
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)
E.M.,
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 abount 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.
David H.,
Still having some trouble sleeping, but I know that will come. Now golf - THAT is amazing - I had 80 today - my lowest score ever! Putted everything in the hole - was quite fun!
HH,
You have given my son and I a new lease on life. I was afraid of my own child and you helped him to deflate his anger and gain control over his actions. My own training helped me see the potential of my life instead of focusing on the negative. Incredible!
XX,
is a world class swimmer and manager of over 150 people in a financial institution. After training for 5 sessions, she was able to beat her 30-year best time record, and two days later completed a business plan in hours that would have taken her months to complete previously.. "Within the first 5 sessions, I was able to beat my own 30-year best record! The training has given me a whole new perspective."
JS,
"The intensive has helped me in many ways... I've given up my addiction to adrenaline. Can you imagine not being late to every appointment, not speeding in rush-hour traffic, and not guzzling six cups of coffee a day? Today I'm relaxed and in control of my time and my life."
SK,
"How do I begin to thank you for giving me back my life?"
S.K. told us: "I have been depressed, in one form or another, for most of my adult life. Years of therapy and antidepressant use have helped at various times, but the underlying feelings of hopelessness and helplessness never really went away. I came to Brain State Technologies as a last resort. My marriage was crumbling and my children avoided telling me anything they thought would upset me. I felt that I lived my life walking on egg shells.
After the first session, I was feeling more hopeful than I could ever remember feeling. Family and friends started commenting that I seemed different.... I smiled more. After the 7th session I was thinking clearly, focusing on my writing and interacting with my family in a new and healthy way. My husband and I are working at reestablishing the marriage we once had.
Thank you for giving me a fresh start."
J.B.,
I have to admit...when I first came to your office I was embarrassed to open up to the person doing my assessment. But I have to say, everyone was just GREAT! No one ever judged me or made me feel inferior because I had these problems (ADD & obsessive compulsive). I felt so relaxed! And the results speak for themselves... I've been off ALL my medications for over 3 months!
THANK YOU!!!!
P.L. and B.F,
Both changed their creative expression capabilities to gain positions of confidence and strength in the art world.
PW,
P.W. is a consultant who needed organization, sales capability, and clients. After brain training, his sales increased significantly as did his proficiency. Clients now benefit from his additional insights, and business has grown to the point where he has found it necessary to add staff. His golf game has also improved.
