Overcoming Chronic Pain and Severe Brain Fog Through Neural Feedback Optimization

My life before 40 Years of Zen I felt really stuck. I felt like I didn't understand my brain and almost like my brain was working against me at times. I had a lot of chronic pain, a lot of severe brain fog, severe anxiety. And I just felt these huge blocks that were in my way and was in so much conflict because I knew that there were so many things I wanted to pursue. Sue, but I just felt like I just couldn't get through to them. The catalyst or the thing that got me to jump into 40 Years of Zen, and I keep saying that I cannonballed into the deep end. Very willingly, because not really knowing a lot about it, but just knowing that it's focused on the brain. And the last year, I've had health issues that have really been around my nervous system and my neurology and my brain, and just all these things I just didn't understand. So when I found out that it was all around neural feedback that was helping to optimize the brain and make it more efficient, it just clicked, because I felt like my brain is just not quite working right. And I know it's brilliant, I know it's beautiful, but I feel like I'm just not tapping into it. So when I found out that it was so focused on the brain I was all in. Literally cannonballed into the deep end. What I most appreciated about the program was how well taken care of I was and the other participants. I felt like we were so accommodated. Every need was already thought of or it was served if we needed something on the fly. I have a lot of chronic pain that physically makes me very uncomfortable, and the staff was always catering to every need I had. And it felt really great to know that I could put it out there without burdening anyone. But also that they were so eager to help me get the most out of this experience. And they were so compassionate helping me adjust. I had to move in several different positions in the pods because it was hard to sit that long, but they were always so accommodating. From the tech to the facilitator to the chef, everyone was really eager to help me, to accommodate me and make sure that I was really comfortable knowing how much work that I was putting into this. And all of us were. So what has changed since I did the program is a huge decrease in anxiety. And my brain fog is almost nonexistent. But the brain fog has decreased so much that before I couldn't really read. I couldn't focus long enough to read a book. And every day since I've been back, I've been reading like crazy. And that feels incredible. And my pain has decreased, but also it's very dependent. The way that I feel like this will propel my life forward. The understanding that I have everything I need within me. The experience helped me tap into parts that I didn't know that I had. Where I could be overcoming pain, I could shift quickly through emotions. And I think that's going to really help me navigate life. I would recommend 40 Years of Zen to others because I feel like it is absolutely transformational. It shifts everything. I came out feeling truly changed. I am changed. And though it requires more work moving forward the tools that I have now are really going to help me do the things that I want to. And I feel like anyone that is really curious about how to optimize their brain, their body, how to be more efficient, just how to just understand themselves in general, better. I think anyone can benefit from it. And it doesn't have to be that you subscribe to a religion or a spiritual practice or anything like that. Like anyone from any walk of life can do this work. And I believe it will really help. And it really is a beautiful, warm place to do some really heavy work. It's the hardest thing I've ever done. But it was so easy, given that I had the proper support. So, so much love and so much gratitude to the entire staff that was there. Hi. My name is Becca Johnson, and I am from Enumclaw, Washington.
