Lindsay’s ME/CFS Journey

Lindsay wrote three times after completing the Energy Excellence Course: at two weeks, six weeks, and six months. From Ireland, she describes cycling, belly dancing, returning to work, and what shifted when she stopped waiting for her energy to come back on its own.

Before the course

Lindsay was living with post-viral fatigue and initial uncertainty about whether a course could help someone who had already read everything on the topic.

Two Weeks After the Energy Excellence Course

Hi Amir,

Returning home to Ireland I had plenty of opportunity to practice what I learned on the Energy Excellence Course. As you know, I was previously an anxious flyer, but I was able to board my plane without any kind of medication (2 major companies are now without my sponsorship!).

The flight became quite turbulent and through using the technique I was able to be completely calm and relaxed. Other passengers were quite upset as I would have been in the past. I even counselled one frequent flyer who is not normally afraid, this is amazing to me.

The day after I came home, I worked in my garden for half an hour and was able to stop without any perfectionism. I then cycled 7 miles in total to and from the next town (very slowly).

“My energy is steadily increasing and I have even joined a belly dancing class and have found myself laughing and singing to myself a lot.”

I am going to be able to go back to work within the next few weeks. I feel calm about it due to what I have learned. I know that whatever happens I will never allow my life to become so unbalanced again.

I have found that I am reacting more positively to every kind of situation and not allowing others to steal my energy or to set me off. Friends and family notice a big change in me too.

The whole experience of having post-viral fatigue taught me a lot and allowed me to re-evaluate what is important in my life. Your course consolidated that knowledge and gave me the extra tools I needed to avoid going there again in the future.

I thought I knew everything about post-viral fatigue and the effects of the adrenal glands which meant I was not sure if the course would help me. I did know 70% of what you taught me already except the final essential information which would help me improve my physiology and stop any future setbacks.

So I would say to anyone else who has read all the books on Adrenal Fatigue etc, if you are not getting better, go on the Energy Excellence Course if you possibly can. For me it has been truly life-changing despite my initial uncertainty.

I know I have a very good future ahead of me and I intend to live it fully!

Thank you.
Lindsay

Six Weeks After the Energy Excellence Course

I am so happy to tell you about my experience with Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome following a really nasty couple of virus infections. For a long time I truly didn’t know how my life would turn out, so if anyone out there who has PVFS or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or M.E., I would encourage them to find out more about this course.

I am lucky as I was perhaps not as ill as some people can become from this genuinely awful condition, but I was really quite ill enough believe me. I am so glad that I got the information about Amir’s Energy Excellence Course before it could develop further. I so want others to know about how they can help themselves to recover with a bit of learning, insight and open-mindedness.

Having learned how my body responds in certain situations and how to look after myself properly especially if I have a virus etc has been life-changing. It sounds like common sense but not all of our bodies are made the same and we all need to learn and re-learn how to look after ourselves. Not only that but we need to put it into practice and that takes a bit of hard work at first, but it is well worth it.

“My energy levels are great now. I have been able to return to my job which I am delighted about.”

I am also making sure to enjoy more fun and stimulating activities to outside work to keep my life balanced. I am regularly attending Bellydancing and I cycle almost everywhere, I also practice my yoga 2–3 times a week which I used to enjoy before I was ill. I love working in my garden which I had really missed.

I feel so much happier and calm. I also look so much better, according to others! My specialist did not recognise me recently and is delighted that I have attended the course as the results are self-evident.

I do have to be careful to remember what I learned on the course and to be my authentic self at all times. I find it is coming so naturally that I genuinely do not worry about it.

I live for the moment now and try not to worry about the future or about things that do not matter.

I believe that this course is very beneficial if you apply all that you learn. It’s given me back so much energy, and I’m living life to the full.

Many thanks again Amir,
Lindsay

Six Months After the Energy Excellence Course

Hi Amir

Everything is great, I’m not saying that I have not fallen off the wagon because I had 1 major shaker and 1 minor and its an ongoing process, get it haha.

Enclosed photo of my first bellydancing display (2nd from left)! My first mosaic, I am doing a class for work :) and making a table featuring my achievements, you can maybe see Alice in Wonderland doing the ‘process’ whilst pouring tea, it helps to be a little bit crazy.

Things are ok in my career, with my new attitude the future is not certain. But hey, we only have today anyways :)

I was excited to take part in my first audition for a prestigious health arts company where I got to mime, sing, dance and act like a clown in front of 20 strangers! Even though I was not chosen this marked a great step for me and already has opened doors to me.

“I was out on my bicycle on Friday and I just felt so alive, so vibrant and free, cycling 20 odd miles around an area where I sat in my car wondering if I would ever get better ten months ago!”

I do still need to take care not to overdo it and I am keeping that in check.

I am so grateful that I had this inside of me and you helped me to set those adrenaline dragons free. The dragon is still around but it mostly lies in front of the fire, its bark is worse than its bite these days.

Thanks for recovering from M.E. so you could help others. Energy Excellence is truly self help, you gave us the tools to help ourselves.

I am calm about Christmas and neither excited nor sad which is a nice place to be, but I intend to enjoy it moment by moment and if there is a moment which I don’t like, I know there is another one coming right along.

Best wishes for winter and Christmas, I am off to sunny Portugal for a deserved recharge, rebalance and much anticipated laughter and friendship. That’s the key to life!

Lindsay came in uncertain, she’d read everything and wasn’t sure a course could add anything new. The free mini-course is a good way to judge that for yourself.
