"I am so impressed with just how significantly 'different' I feel after what seems like such a small amount of time...

"A couple of times now before my sessions I have been VERY busy & hectic & have thought 'oh this is going to be quite a task to calm myself down in only 15 minutes'. But sure enough - about half way through meditating I can feel my whole body just slowing right down. And then by the time I finish, I feel quite, quite different from when I started - very impressive - and surprisingly simple, too ."

"I've noticed that since committing to this practice an inner peace or calm has taken place. No longer am I stressed out, and my ability to function at work as well as in martial arts training has greatly improved. I've also noticed an immense sense of appreciation for things such as nature and communicating with others. Thanks a lot!"

"I enjoy every meditation session. I feel less stressed, more balanced, less anxious, more able to focus and happier. Neck pain and headaches are highly reduced, even disappear during and after meditation. And I keep up with it, even look forward to every session, which never worked for me with [another form of meditation]."

"I completed session 6 this morning... It is strange how natural the feeling is. I don't feel any need to control life or others around me in order to maintain this peace...it is naturally occurring. I love that.

"Last night was a very stressful night on the job (I work as a field service engineer repairing complex machines). I was there with another engineer to do a simple maintenance procedure and when we were almost finished, faults started popping up everywhere and it looked like the machine would be down for the next day (it is a medical machine and therefore patients wouldn't get their treatment the next day....bad) so there was a lot of stress involved. My coworker was responding with a great deal of stress and anger while I was very calm and...well, happy. Later on he told me that he was really glad I was there because I was a calming influence on him. He said he had a lot of stress and anger issues to deal with...I did realize then that our calmness and happiness is very obvious to those without it and that tells me a lot about how I have been affected in the past 3 days.

"I have always been very calm and easy going on the outside, but on the inside I have had lots of stress that doesn't have an outlet...except through music and writing. Now I can't wait till next week and the week after because I know that the meditation has changed me for life."

"NSR has been very beneficial. I have certainly reaped the rewards of the practice. It reignited a spark of creativity that had lain dormant (or was suppressed by stress).

"Meditation has improved my ability to see contrast, subtle differences, a sharper perception of reality. This in turn has allowed me to identify opportunities for new methods, new products and practices. From a creative energy perspective it makes me feel 15 years younger.

"I can literally pinpoint the period the level to which I have been reenergised to--as a young engineer I was recognised as being very creative. It is amazing really. But--I am sure you are aware of these types of experiences :) .

"My biggest struggle is consistency in meditation and life style. Perhaps it goes hand in hand with the lifestyle in Ireland. But I think I am getting there. Certainly life is a vast improvement on pre NSR."

"So many fantastic things have happened as a result of meditating everyday. I only wish I could convince my friends and family what a wonderful experience it is and how much it has changed my entire outlook on living (and I have only been meditating since January! [four months]). For the first time in my life I feel like each year will be better than the last, every experience more beautiful.

"I used to have a lot of social anxiety, I now can talk and interact with people much more easily. I am more open.

"I am a lot more self assured and confident.

"I used to suffer weekly bouts of extreme depression, something that has now completely vanished.

"I used to feel anxious and unsure of my future, I still feel this sometimes, but for the most part I have a sense that I just need to keep pushing forward and that I will get where I want to be.

"I have always been a very creative person, and I now find that I am more easygoing towards my projects. There is not much of the old frenetic energy I used to feel, which makes creating things more fun.

"I used to be very critical and am daily becoming more positive about everything.

"Overall, I feel more optimistic and have more conviction than doubt in my creative practice. There are days, and even weeks that I feel more like my old self but for the most part everything seems like it's getting better. In essence, I just don't take everything as seriously as I used to. It's like the effortlessness of meditation is becoming a part of how I live every day.

"How I wish someone had introduced me to this form of meditation as a teenager."

"I just wanted to share a positive post about my improvement in my favourite sport Badminton. I've been practicing NSR since March 2007 and it has had a profound effect on all areas of my life, including my presence at my local Badminton club. I am not a very social person but I have noticed the effects first hand being one of the dominant players there. Both socially and in a way scientifically my calm and now more powerful self has made an impact on the whole badminton club experience for everyone. Due to my talent and clearly apparent development at club through NSR and of course regular exercise, I feel important to this small community of players. Members are pushing themselves harder and I feel profoundly significant that I am pushing them up further... In a quiet way I feel like a representative because I am having an influence, which people find curious, in a good way!"

"I started the program just under one month ago, and I was convinced after 2 days that something different was going on here. I'd meditated before, and gotten good results at times, but never had hit that level where real transcendant energy was accessed. In the first session I got to that place, realized I'd never been there before, and laughed out loud as my mind stayed easily focused in a non-thought space and new energy just coursed through me. I just couldn't believe how easy it all was. Then after a few weeks I began to notice the effects in my daily life. It really has made the process of life fun--I can more easily place things in perspective in real time and act accordingly, rather than react from an emotional surface level to life's problems. Life hasn't changed, but the way I live it definitely has. I read in one of these testimonials that NSR made the person feel 'lighter'--I can't think of a better description of how I feel as I go about my day.

"I can only hope more people will take advantage of this--it's very exciting to think of all the problems in people's lives that NSR could make real progress in solving. Also, I'm very interested in the program aimed at children--the pressures children face all the way through college pile huge amounts of stress on them. Equipped with NSR as a coping and relaxation method, they could have a huge advantage going through their formative years, understanding themselves and their world better, and just being happier all around. Thank you so much for this!"

"I just wanted to take a minute and THANK you so much, your program has changed our lives. We (Michael and I) meditate faithfully twice daily. We did not realize how much stress we carried with us unknowingly. We have recommended your program to several friends."

"I've been doing NSR meditation for 6 months now, and have found it very beneficial. Not only did it help to lower my BP along with lifestyle changes, but my attitude is so much better. There are days that I can't wait to get into my meditation, to get rid of stuff. I had been searching for this for many years. Thanks for putting NSR out there for everyone to benefit from."

"Even though I am on day 3 of this technique, I have already felt very calm and relaxed. I am not physically reacting in an anxious or frustrated way to people around me. It's early days but I believe this technique could be the winning ticket for me. I already have a great life but I knew I needed something to help repair the damage of old habits to allow me to fully open my heart and feel the love of my life
. . .
"A week down the line and the affects are still good. I have felt physicaly calm and cool. I lost my bank card and had a minor accident in my car last week but I felt fine, I actually laughed a bit! The baby and expectations at home have not got on top of me......Yes, things are still going well.

"Thank you for making the program so accessible to the masses. I hope to implement the technique to some of the special needs students I teach."

"Just a few things I've noticed since starting the NSR technique a few weeks back --

"For one, on doing the brief periodic inventories I've watched my total score go from the 50s, to the 30s, and now to the 20s by the end of my 3rd week. Wow! I feel SO much less stress now than when I started. Thank you.

"I've noticed, too, that I felt pretty 'stuck' mentally (probably from all of the accumulated stress and anxiety) for years; over the past couple of weeks I feel like my mind has awakened again, and I'm reading much more than I have in years, and find myself interested in many different subjects (I always have been, but simply haven't had the energy to pursue them for some time -- now, I do).

"I'm also finding myself becoming more discriminating in terms of what I allow into my head (i.e., what I watch on TV, if at all) and my body (I think I'm on the brink of giving up both coffee and cigarettes ... if I needed stress reduction before, I'll CERTAINLY need it when I try that, LOL).

"I continue to be amazed at the changes/benefits. Again, Wow! Thanks."

"Just have to say that even though I have only been practicing the NSR technique for approximately a week so far I have seen HUGE benefits in my work life.

"Previously I had been stressed to the max with my work duties to the point that I was practically having panic attacks on a daily basis and of course those only decreased my ability to cope with the stressors I was under. Now I am able to get through my day with drastically less stress than I was feeling before. Nothing at work itself has changed, but I am just coping better and dealing with it instead of feeling like it is too much and wanting to simply run away from it all. Hope it continues. B*) Thanks!"

"Last night I tried to explain to my wife how I feek now. 'Lighter' was the first word that came to mind. I feel lighter.

"I also feel as if I've somehow taken a brush and scrubbed my brain. My thoughts are much more clear. It's truly amazing. I have fibromyalgia and 'brain fog' has bothered me more than the pain but for the first time in years brain fog isn't a big issue.

"Thank you, sincerely, for making NSR available. It is changing the quality of my life."

"There are great moments of peace and love to all, I have none of the character issues that I used to have in the past in regards to judging others. I have good relations now with people that used to push my buttons and send me off in to some preprogrammed behavior, this has obviously been a very good change for me."

"I want to thank you SO much for your absoutely wonderful NSR manual and audio.

"My very first session, after about 15 mintues I found a space of bliss--Right before this I was feeling a lot of pain and some very dark thoughts and memories were coming up...along with intense tightness and pain in my shoulders and upper back. Then, spontaneously, I imagined myself picking up that pain as a layer (pain, thought, judgment) and looking under it--When I did this I imagined and felt a light come out from under the pain and I felt it as joy and bliss--This is when the tears came and the bliss came--the tears just poured out and I smiled and smiled. How wonderful--:)

"I am so thankful to have found NSR---I have always wanted to formally learn TM [Transcendental Meditation®], but it is just so expensive that I was turned off-------Now, after finding NSR, I feel as if I am finally waking up and getting my power back--and so simply :) And, I feel strongly inspired to continue the practice, learn from your forum and someday share it with others. I am so utterly grateful and look forward to future contact.

"I must also say that my amazing results are continuing- Remember my telling you that I had a sort of vision my first session of lifting my bind mind as a layer and that being my release point where I felt awareness----saw light? Well, it seems the visions, so far, always preceed the release for me--I have done 4 sessions and with each, a vision and then a release. The last time it was simply my arm/hand pushing away a raft and it gliding out onto still water----drifting away, then a wash of peace, blissful emptiness. I am amazed that after everything I have tried to realize that all the methods were, I believe way too complicated-- -Or maybe it is that the student is just now ready. I feel I understand more than I can even express in words and I trust that intuition. What a gift!"

"I am truly amazed at how something so elegant and simple to do can be so deeply healing. I feel "in touch" within myself in ways that I remember but haven't experienced for a long long time. I look forward to my time doing the technique [early morning before I swim] and in the evening before dinner. My mind starts to do the mantra without my effort, then my body relaxes and I get this sense of energy pulsing through me along with this humming/buzzing sound sensation like cicadas and katydids in the heat of summer in the midwest. I think it is my brain singing to me.

"I am sleeping more deeply and seem to have more energy as well. In addition, my anger and frustration at daily events in my life has lessened by about 80%. I take things more in stride, am more calm, and lighter with a sense of perspective and humor about things. When I am in the middle of a busy day, I know I will have that time for me when I get home. It is very deeply nourishing and healing. And, this is just the second week so I can only imagine how much it will improve as time goes on. I am so glad I took the chance and ordered the CD and the book. It is really really helping me."

[About one year later] "Feel the same now as I did then...only more so."
