We are grateful to the people who share their stories with you here, and hope their experiences give you an idea of how Reset® is helping people around the world, and how it might also benefit you and your loved ones.
Heart & Mind ● I have a new-found confidence. Small things don't knock me off balance anymore. ● My head is quiet and my feelings are stable for the first time in my life. ● My life is no longer dictated by the past. ● I worry less about relationships. ● My irritation is gone, and my mood swings too. ● My Mind was always the boss. Now I'm living from the heart, and I love it! ● I feel grateful for things I used to take for granted. ● That nagging sense of anxiety and frustration has disappeared. ● I've finally let go of all that anger. ● With Reset® I can switch my feelings instantly. Gloomy days alone are a thing of the past! ● I felt happy from the very first session! ● People at work have changed. The office is full of smiles. I've buried the hatchet with some of my colleagues, and we all get on really well now. ● I see that, when my body is at ease, my mind is open and flexible. And I get what you mean when you say: ‘world peace begins with inner peace’.
● I went traveling for the first time in years, and was surprised to find myself feeling good, having fun, and deeply touched by the sight of the mountains. I found myself quietly thinking: ‘You'll be OK’.
● Since starting Reset®, I feel more able to accept all that's happened to me in life. I’ve always thought of myself as a victim, but now I'm more able to understand the other people involved and forgive them. I find myself thinking ‘It’s OK, because I’m happy now’ - and I’m really surprised by this new me who thinks like that!
● Thanks to Reset®, I find myself staying calm and stable in situations that would once have triggered me into panic. As I continue using Reset®, I seem to be developing the ability to feel my emotions and stay in control of them, rather than feeling my emotions and them controlling me.
Body ● Contracted back muscles have relaxed, and my head now sits directly above my core. ● My migraines and tinnitus ceased on the first session. It's like living in a different world! ● Hernia-related pain has decreased. In the train home, I even stood without needing to hold onto anything. Since starting Reset® my bowel movements have been easier too. ● I felt immediate changes after Reset®. My hip movements were flexible and pain-free, and my blood pressure has returned to normal range. ● Chronic shoulder pain ceased in just one session. I couldn’t believe it! ● I feel centered now, with a nice, solid core. Even if my posture collapses, my body self-corrects. The layers of fascia below my skin have renewed plasticity and aren’t as tight as they used to be. I don’t get tired like I used to either. ● Simple and effective, Reset® is an ideal rehabilitation tool after whiplash, injuries, and fractures. ● I’m free from knee pain for the first time in 10 years! ● Reset® improves my circulation. I feel warm now even in winter! ● I no longer get headaches or dizziness, which means I'm much more able to get on with my day.
● I have bunions, so my weight tends to put pressure on my outer-foot when I stand. Since starting Reset®, this has shifted to the arch of the inner-foot, and I can now feel my inner thigh muscles work when I stand. My pelvis, which used to feel wide open, now feels more natural, and I also feel strength in my stomach area and core.
● For a 30-minute session, I was surprised to experience so many changes! After the earthquake, I had numbness and pain between my neck and arms that didn’t get better, even after acupuncture and treatment at the orthopedic clinic. So I was really surprised when the pain cleared-up after Reset®. This is something I’ll definitely continue!
● My neck and shoulders are no longer tight, and my whole body feels warm. As I walked down the stairs at the station, I could see that my body was stable and stepping with confidence. I felt like I did as a child, descending the stairs with light-footed balance and grace.
Sleep ● Since I started Reset®, my Body and Mind are really relaxed. I sleep soundly at night and wake-up deeply refreshed. ● I no longer need pills or alcohol to help me sleep. ● My sleep is much deeper. Even if I only get a few hours a night, I don’t feel tired the next day. ● This is the first time since the earthquake that I’ve slept until morning without waking up in the night. ● I sleep deeply and wake-up feeling fully recharged for the day ahead. ● Working night-shifts left me with irregular sleeping patterns, but I’ve recovered my rhythm now. ● Thanks to Reset®, I now get quality sleep even when I travel. ● I’ve never been a morning person and have always lost time to inefficiency in the mornings. That’s changed now, and I use the extra time to do what I love. ● On overseas trips I recover from jet-lag faster, which really helps my business. ● I wake-up refreshed like I did when I was young! ● My sleep quality is better, and I no longer have nightmares. ● I used to wake at the slightest noise, but now not even my husband’s snoring can stop me from sleeping until morning! ● I sleep as soon as my head hits the pillow, and wake-up feeling deeply refreshed. I’ve stopped grinding my teeth too!
Stress and Trauma ● I’m deeply grateful for a therapy that’s this effective, and that I can do by myself without any suffering or the risk of getting worse. Thanks to Reset®, after 12 long years, I’ve finally ended my reliance on treatment and medicine. I hope everyone seeing a psychiatrist or suffering from trauma will experience Reset® and benefit from it in the way that I do. ● I’ve had enough of therapies that make me remember things and leave me in tears. I’m really grateful to Reset®. It’s fun, makes me smile, and connects me to others. After the workshop, I went home and watched TV with my family. My mother was delighted to see me laughing out loud on the sofa with everyone else. ● I care for my mother-in-law, who has dementia. Although I try to smile and give her the best care that I can, there are times when I feel disgusted rather than thankful, and as if my heart is at breaking point. At these times especially, Reset® has been a savior for me. Among the many things I notice, my shoulders have lost their tension, and I’m finding it easier to ask my family for help.
Work ● Recently, before going to work or meeting customers, I felt extremely negative and physically sick to the point where I lose my calm. Since starting Reset®, these feelings have ceased. My body and mind are now relaxed, and I have the resources to cope with life. I’m glad I found Reset®. ● In the workshop we learned how to do Core Movement while seated. This is very beneficial at work, and I do it every day. If I do it at lunch, my head feels clear and I don’t experience the afternoon slump. As Reset® can be done in the airplane or hotel room during business trips, I also use it to prevent swelling in my legs during travel. Basically, every day at work is now stress-free! ● My time-management is more effective since I started Reset®, my body doesn’t tire like it used to, and I’m healthier all round. I feel more inspired at work which helps me do things in new and efficient ways. Thanks to Reset® the job not only gets done, it gets done well. ● I work for a company with a poor working environment, and had pretty much concluded that quitting was my only option. But since I started Reset® things are changing. Relationships between colleagues are better, meetings where staff used to butt heads are more productive, and team members now come to me for advice before problems occur, which helps us prevent costly errors. I think this is a reflection of the changes in me, like a calmer disposition, and greater flexibility in my thinking.
Partnership ● My wife smiles and laughs more these days! ● I’d watched my husband come home exhausted each night for long enough, and finally dragged him to a workshop. He didn’t seem very interested at first, so I was surprised to see his face gradually soften, his posture improve, and his eyes start to shine again. These days we do Reset® together before bed, and both of us feel 10 years younger! ● My wife saw the difference in my face as soon as I got home from the workshop. I taught her ‘Gratitude Point’ straight away. It’s something we do together regularly now. ● Both busy working, with one of us leaving the house as the other returned, we started spending less and less time together, and our compassion for each other started to fade. Since we learned Reset® together, our connection has deepened, and we've started to enjoy quality moments together again. ● The day after the workshop, my wife, who has low blood pressure and finds it hard to get up in the morning, was up like a lark making breakfast! I hope she’ll continue doing Reset®, and think I will too! ● What surprised me most was the change in feelings I noticed the day after my first Reset® session. I felt more caring towards people, and feelings of love welled-up inside me, like it did when I was first married! I was surprised to find myself being so kind and gentle with people. Once we connect with ourselves, I guess we're better able to connect with others too.
Pregnancy ● Knowing that oxytocin is important for a smooth labor, I did Reset® with my husband (and baby) from the start, and at the time of birth. As a result, both the labor and birth went really smoothly (our doctor was impressed!). During labor, my husband breathed with me as if we were doing Reset®. Thanks to this, instead of panicking about what he should or shouldn’t be doing, he was a big help during the birth, which he felt happy (and relieved) about. ● Reset® helped us on every step of the way to having a baby. I’d initially given-up on the idea of having a child, because the infertility treatment was uncomfortable, but in the end I was able to conceive naturally! We truly feel that we have Reset® to thank for this. When my morning sickness got bad, Reset® helped me overcome them. I’m in my 9th month now and get terrible hunger pangs. When they come, I just do step one and quickly feel much, much better. I’m sure that Reset® is helping the little one feel good about all of this too! ● With your help, I’ve welcomed a long-awaited baby into the world! As an older than average Mum-to-be, people around me were worried if the birth would go smoothly or not, but thanks to Reset®, my baby and I are healthy. I love being with my baby. We feel so close. I'm so grateful to Reset® and my family for making this amazing experience possible ● I’m experiencing that Reset® can easily be done in the spare moments during child-rearing, even with a demanding 2 year old! In the evening, my husband does Reset® while I read our little one a picture-book. The good feeling in the room is the perfect setting for all 3 of us to then sleep very, very, deeply!
Parenting ● I shared Reset® with a mother and her child who has postural hypotension and experiences dizziness upon changes in posture. Both reported reductions in negative emotions after Reset®. The girl later shared that, although she’d gone to school that morning feeling low on energy and lethargic, she walked home after Reset® with a spring in her step, much to the surprise of her mother. ● I get really nervous before tests, so I was very glad to learn the breathing from Step 1, which helps me a lot. ● Before bed, I always look back on the day’s events with my child (who has Down Syndrome). Today she said, ‘We did Reset® together. I felt glad!’. (Reset® Therapist report) ● I’ve never seen him sleep with such a restful face (from the mother of a child with ADHD) ● Coming back from the workshop, my son found a vacant seat on the train and said ‘Mum, take a seat’. After meals he usually goes straight to his room, but that night he stayed with us in the living room for a while. When I asked if he was OK, he said ‘Mum, thanks for today’. These things are a first for us. This morning too, his voice seemed softer, and his face kinder. (from the mother of a child on the Autism Spectrum)
Beauty & Diet ● I took a selfie before & after Reset® and immediately saw the difference. It wasn’t just that I looked happier, my skin was glossy and my cheeks were lifted. The biggest change was the intensity and color of my eyes - ‘So THIS is what sparkling eyes look like!’. The results were as if I’d gone for beauty treatments that cost a fortune. Reset® is awesome! ● Thanks to Reset®, the cellulite on my thighs that I thought I’d never be rid of has gone! I see changes in my waist and pelvis, and although I haven’t changed my diet, I’ve lost almost 5 kg! My facial swelling has decreased too. I say thank you to the scales and mirror every day! And thank you to Reset®! ● I became a beautician because I love seeing people come alive and feeling more beautiful. Reset® is such a simple method that we can even do it by ourselves, so I was surprised by the depth of results, especially the changes in my friend’s face after the session. She looked so beautiful, the kind of beauty that naturally shines from within. Seeing her shine, I totally got how our nervous system helps humans connect to each other. ● My working hours are irregular, and I tend to wear my tiredness on my face. I’ve recently started doing Reset® before bed, and am happy to see that my face is now back to normal. I’ve also gained the will-power to stop eating late at night and drink tea instead, and my waistline is really thanking me for it!
Outdoors ● I’m a nature guide, and an eco-tour guide. I do Reset® with groups before going into nature because it increases their sense of connection to Nature and to each other. Reset® is a great tool for adventurers. If I lose my way on a trail and start getting nervous, Reset® works for me immediately, restoring both the calm frame of mind I need to make good decisions, and the energy I need to find my way back. Recently I went hiking with a client of limited strength, and we weren’t sure if he’d make the hike, but having done Reset® before we left, he was able to hike the trail and enjoy the scenery as I hoped he would. I was really impressed. ● I’ve just completed a long distance running tour of Japan’s Southern Alps. At times, after a full day’s run, I found it hard to sleep, but after doing Reset® I was able to sleep well. I also use Reset® before running as I find that it helps to prevent knee pain. My experience shows that Reset® is a great support for an athlete's Body and Mind. Simply put, Reset® expands my possibilities! ● I use Reset® to warm-up before snow-boarding. It makes me more aware of my core, improves my balance, increases my grounding and traction, and helps me read subtle changes in the snow while in motion. These changes improve my performance and prevent injuries. I look forward to next season! ● Before I started Reset®, cold weather was one of my weaknesses, so I spent my winters indoors. But when I do Reset® my body feels warm. Even if I just do Step 1 for a while, I feel warmth in my hands and finger-tips! Thanks to Reset®, I now go outdoors in the winter, and I really enjoy it!
Quality Aging ● With the onset of menopause, I experienced many changes in my body that didn't feel good. But when I do Reset®, my body feels good again. I feel warm, and stay warm. My skin looks and feels better. And to my surprise, menstruation has resumed for the first time in 6 months! More than anything else, I feel happy again! ● Since starting Reset®, I really enjoy moving my body. At meals, I choose foods that are kind to my body. Until last year, I was warned about obesity at every single health check. But not this year! ● My doctor said: ‘If you don’t lose weight, you’ll never be rid of knee pain,’. Never one to exercise, I didn't know what to do. A friend told me some people lose weight doing Reset®, so I went to a session, but ended-up losing my knee pain! On the way home my footsteps were really light, and I found myself running down the stairs, totally surprising myself! Reset® is so easy to continue (even for me!) that I do it every day. My Mind is so positive now, which I’m really thankful for. ● I recently taught Reset® to my father as a preventative measure. Soon afterwards, he fell off a ladder. When I heard the news, I feared that he might end-up bed-ridden, but thanks to Reset® his body was soft and supple, so he landed without injury or the need for care. I was SO glad I taught him Reset® when I did. Most of all, I was glad to see him laugh and say, 'There is no better cure than prevention!'.
Sickness and Cancer ● The anti-cancer drugs were not a good match for me and left me in a lot of pain, although I couldn’t really say that to my worried family. Finally, I heard about Reset®, and spoke to them about it. It seems that each person has a different reaction to anticancer drugs. In my case, I had joint pain, muscle pain, vascular pain, and so on. Operations left me unable to lift my arms well, so I was happy to see my range of motion increase after Reset®. I tend to grind my teeth in my sleep which is painful, but I haven’t done so since starting Reset®, so I think I’ll keep doing it. I can break Reset® into steps and just do a little when I have no energy or if my condition is bad. I’m really grateful for that. ● I tend to get constipation after surgery or when I use anticancer drugs, but after Reset® my chiropractor found that my stomach was looser than normal, and sure enough, bowel movements came easily. There are many cancer patients whose stomachs bloat with gas and who find it hard to eat meals, so I hope that Reset® will find them too. ● I had breast removal surgery due to breast cancer. My energy and physical strength didn’t return after the surgery, and I started feeling negative, dwelling on why it had happened to me, and spending nights awake worrying that the cancer might return. On the day of the workshop I was both desperate enough to try anything, and convinced that everything was futile. When I got to class, the therapist reassured me that I could just move as much as was comfortable for me. That pretty much amounted to just breathing together. But when we finished the steps and I stood-up, my body felt easy, like a different person. I felt really refreshed. I still have days when I worry about the future, but I’ve started to see cancer as just another experience, and I feel that I can live a happy life again, from where I am right now. ● After drug treatment and operations for uterine cancer, I felt that a lot of damage had been done to my body. The thing I liked most about Reset® is that I can do it by myself, and it feels good. I really want sick people to know about Reset® because it’s a perfect tool to help us care for ourselves and reset our lives after surgery.
Reset® 2-day Trainings (Basic and Advanced)
● I’ve attended various trainings in my life but this was the most meaningful and satisfying so far. In short, it reconnected me to the wonder of being human.
● As a counselor I really understood the importance of self-care in daily life. The more I use and share Reset®, the more both my clients and I will be well.
● On the evening of the first day, I noticed several changes. The chatter inside my head was quiet, and the anxiety and hesitation I'd felt had been replaced by a constant and welcome hum of love and appreciation.
● In the practical part of the training, my practice partner chose to lead one of our sessions as if she were teaching Reset® to her husband, which became my role. As the session progressed, a connection developed, and I started to feel a warm (hot!) energy in my body, along with a deep feeling of happiness.
● Since completing the training, I'm able to see myself as a wonderful part of existence.
● In the middle of a practice session, pleasure welled-up from inside me and I felt, "This is love!". It took me back to the joy that welled-up inside me when I gave birth to my child, a happiness no words can describe.
● During the training, I let go of complexes. I began to truly love myself and felt the joy of helping others.
● On the evening of the first day, I went home and practiced on my family! My mother said ‘Are you sure? I mean, you’ve just learned this, right?’, but was soon delighted to feel less numbness in her hands, and less pain in her shoulders. For me, the best thing about Reset® is that it's simple and effective enough so that ① Anyone can teach it, and ② Anyone can benefit from it, no matter who teaches it to them.
● Since the course, my relationship with my family improved a lot, making our daily lives much easier. I’m going to share Reset® with my closest friends, and I hope it will be taught in schools one day.
● For 2 days I felt secure, safe, love, joy, connection with Self and others, and harmony with everyone in the room. I was able to accept myself fully without the need to alter anything. ‘I’m OK as I am. I’m OK now’.
● Given the chance to lead practice sessions and choose the setting ourselves, I asked my practice partner to take-on the role of a fellow marathon runner who’d recently fractured his ankle. After the training, I got to do the session for real! As imagined, my injured friend was both fearful and impatient, but having already rehearsed the session, I was ready for it! As I taught Reset® to my friend I found myself applying what I’d learned in the practice session and acting on the advice my trainers and the rest of the class had given me afterwards. Together, these experiences in the training were invaluable to helping me lead a successful real-life session, and to helping me help my friend.
● I like the way that Reset® works at the level of your body while your Mind is completely ‘Here and Now’. I also like the way that both the person giving the session and the person receiving the session get exactly the same benefits - emotional stability and happiness!
Reset® 2-day Intensive Training for Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
● I'm glad we learned something I can use in my Life, not just in my work. ● I tend to experience a lot of ups and downs, but Reset® is helping me be more stable. ● I realized how on edge I always am. ● I face many stressful situations at work, but can now use Reset® in these moments, which will help me a lot. ● I tend to dismiss stress and just say ‘I’m OK’. Now I realize that 'my' stress isn’t just my problem, but that it also affects everyone around me, so it’s not good for me to neglect self-care. ● I feel that Reset® will make me stronger in heart ● I was glad to learn how to assess the patient’s condition and will use this at work from now on. ● The 2 days of practice were fun, and I got a great new skill.
● I know I’ll face intense stress at work for years to come. To prevent it from accumulating, I’ll be using what I learned this weekend. I’ve mastered something here that will serve me greatly in my future work as a firefighter.
● Having already experienced stress and power harassment, this training made me realize how important stress resilience will be for me as I continue this work.
● I was surprised that, although I only did Step for a while, I found myself relaxing deeply, mentally and physically. I tend to get stressed pretty easily, so Reset® is something I’ll definitely continue.
● I’ve basically been existing between states of stress and trauma. I’m glad I've learned how to change that.
● If I do Reset® I’ll enjoy better relationships, Quality of Life, and true mental fitness. For me, Reset® is a keeper.
● If I neglect my own care I’ll lose the capacity to understand the psychological state of those I try to help on the job. I’m going to value self-care from now on.
