To Whom It May Concern:
I have experienced two weeks of Brain State Trainings since July of 2006 plus a one-day session to improve my sleep quality. Without a doubt, they are among the most significantly healing and balancing experiences of my life. Though I do not believe this training can replace the traditional struggles for healing the wounds of our pasts, Brain State offers the capacity for some "giant stepping" along that journey.
By the second day of the first week, I knew the outcome would be positive. I simply began to feel better, more alive, after each session. By the end of those five days, there was an enhanced clarity about my life, a sense of well-being and peacefulness. I noticed that I could see colors more vividly and, though I didn’t take an eye exam, felt certain that even my visual acuity had improved.
Then there was the single day of two sessions for sleep deprivation that, for me, were particularly important. There was literally an immediate and considerable improvement which, to this day, has not diminished, and I have not concerned myself about sleeplessness since.
Though I am far from understanding this technology, it seems that my second week of training was more focused on balancing the processes of my brain. The protocols took me deeper into those progressions which theretofore had led me into anxiety and hypertension. As the week evolved, it seemed as though I could accomplish in an hour-and-a-half session what would normally require a week-long retreat. The clarity I had found during the first week seemed to blend into an eloquence of design and confidence about the journey I have chosen to take through my "elder years."
I must add, however, that as important as I believe this new knowledge is, and is to become as its usefulness grows, the person(s) who administer Brain State protocols are of equal importance. Sam Holt and Christine Westfeldt are the only providers of this technology whom I know, but I can affirm that their sincerity and integrity along with their ability and expertise in the healing arts are indispensable in the advancements I have made since my training began.
My deepest gratitude goes out to them.

Sam,
Since those 10 sessions, I am on top of this world!!!!!
There is no doubt in that last 6 minutes, my soul completely merged with my body.....Even the density in my body felt totally different, the sense of separation of self is just completely gone, no matter what......It's so tangibly differently, body, mind, spirit......It's so hard to describe yet so concretely real.
I'm sleeping a very solid 7 hours of sleep a night.
Things will happen that normally might have gotten me kind of anxious....I have my first recognition like I used to, but when it comes to me giving it any effort or time or whatever, I just don't even go there or care to. It's like trivial things just aren't allowed to take up my energy or time anymore. There is such a different sense of calm and quiet inside of me that I have never ever known.
And my focus and drive that have always been so much a part of me but were just melting away for these last several years, it is back.... I'm just 100% alive and excited and alert and sharp again. It is awesome!
I've told many, that aside from my money that goes to these wolves and wolfdogs and the Native Americans that I donate to, that the money that I spent on the Brain State Training was the best money I have ever spent in my life!
Love and peace,

For over 25 years I have been looking for a way out of Migraines. I have tried everything, including dietary changes, exercise, hypnotherapy, massage, acupuncture, positive thinking, pharmaceuticals, herbals, homeopathic, and even energy work. Many of the things I tried seemed to help, at least partially, but I was never able to get a big breakthrough, to get a really dramatic decrease in the frequency of the Migraines.
After doing 30 sessions of Brain State Training, I have had a 95% reduction in the number of Migraines that I have gotten. That is really amazing. The freedom to live without the fear of headaches and the freedom of living life without them has been an investment in my quality of life that I would recommend to anyone.

After my first 10 sessions of Brain State Training, I really began to feel more comfortable in my own skin. I also felt more capable of making decisions and actively executing them. I feel even more balanced after my second series of trainings. I also have noticed that my desire for caffeine and sweets has reduced significantly. I feel just great.

I wanted to update you on Fletcher’s progress. We have been very pleased with the results of his Brain State Training. As you know he was tested at his school last August and based on those test results, the school was recommending that he be put in classes for kids with special needs. After the training, he was re-tested in the areas that he tested below his grade level in August. Fletcher improved in all six areas tested. Two areas showed significant improvements. He improved a year and a half in reading content understanding and four years in understanding and following directions, neither of which could be explained by his classroom experience this Fall. As you recall, Fletcher and I both felt that he was reading over three times faster after the training.
He continues to improve in reading and spelling at a surprising rate and we have seen some improvement in written expression but it remains and area of concern.
His vision has improved some, though he still sees triple at times. We are practicing bringing the three images together and he is to the point where he can always achieve that.
I continue to be interested in this work and hope to become more involved in it at some point in the future.

Dear Sam,
The first night after the first 2 sessions I had a dream. I was listening to music on the radio or cd’s... the music was a fast jazz. I started to change it and said to myself, I never have liked Miles Davis, his stuff is so wild. Then all so a sudden, I started listening and thought to myself, that sounds like the Beta Up training sounds. I began listening and stared to enjoy the fast pace of the jazz music. The next morning I listened to some Miles Davis and loved it and could really hear it. I felt happy, like a new territory had opened to me. All during the week I would hear music and it would remind me of the different rhythms I had heard during the training. The Alpha–Theta-1, reminded me of a composer, Deuter, and his piece "Ecstasy."
Then the second or third night I was choreographing dance movements in my dreams. I had done choreography 20 years ago for a dance troupe. In my dreams I was doing it and enjoying it a lot. I felt so happy to be doing it again.
I began noticing when people spoke that their voices had the different frequencies I was hearing in the training. Some voices were more beta and some were alpha. I felt like I understood the person because I heard their sound and not just their words.
I began to notice when my frequency would change... it was an actual kinesthetic feeling like going into different fields or mediums. Some of the fields were very liquid and some had edges. I could also feel when someone else's frequency change. I was talking to some one and suggested an idea and I immediately felt her field change. I asked her if she had just thought a "NO" to my idea and resisted what I had said. She said yes, she had done that. She asked me how I knew it. I said the field changed and I could feel it. I said it was OK if she disagreed. She said it all happened so fast, she did even know why she disagreed. Then she examined it and said she was afraid of my idea because she might feel stupid if she did it. This surprised both of us because I felt her "NO" before she consciously did. We both discussed what we had felt openly and learned from it.
I went to a Yoga class with a new teacher and could tell she was in Alpha most of the class and she was guiding the students into Alpha. I could hear in the Indian Ragas, all the different frequencies…the Beta Waves in the fast voices and Sitar sounds and the Alpha Waves in the background sounds.
During the last training session I had an interesting experience. During the Beta Up training ….the bar went way down and stayed there. Then it slowly came up and I felt all frustrated because it would not stay up…I had not felt frustrated in any of the sessions. The bar and I were not relating. I could feel that I was out of relationship and I was disconnected from the experience as a relationship. I asked Sam to start that session over …in the new session I relaxed and remembered that the bar and I were in a loving relationship and I connected the raising of the bar to my heart frequency and the bar went up and up. I felt the connection between my brain frequency and my heart frequency.
I realized the next day that I felt bliss when my brain went into new "learning's." That when I created new neuronets, I felt a bliss or euphoria ...it did not seem to matter which frequency ...If I learned I felt bliss. So I deduced that my brain loves to create new neuronets.

For me Brain State Training was in the beginning a wonderful, peaceful opportunity to remember what it was like to be still and close my eyes. It was meditative, contemplative and relaxing. I began to examine the inappropriate ways I have learned to respond and as I observed those old behaviors, I began to clear them and learn new more appropriate ways to respond. One definite and observable result is that after giving up sugar in February, I lost almost 20 lbs. I am appreciating a greater focus and subsequent learning curve in my work and just in the nick of time.
My job has changed radically and old limitations are up for review and clearing. I’m grateful for the tools to meet each new (sometimes overwhelming) challenge with a greater distance on the situation. I’m learning that inappropriate anger and a feeling of helplessness can be exchanged for focus, clam and self confident questioning of other people’s inappropriate behavior.

As I approached my 60th birthday last month, I was filled with dread…my son bought a package of (10) Brain State Training sessions. With some skepticism I went through the training. I now look and feel 10 years younger. In fact I am 10 years younger and I feel I have a new lease on life.

My journey began when I was 28 when my son was diagnosed with clinical depression. As a good mother I sought help for him through therapy. Since then I have continued the journey for myself. I came across Brain State Technologies in December of 06 when I hit an emotional block. I entered into a 90 day meditation asking for something that I could do in this world to help not only myself but others. Brain State was the answer. During the training I experienced relief from fear and became more highly intuitive. Also, I have some learning disabilities and have opened up to addressing them. Working with Brain State and a tutor has produced significant improvement.

After Brain State Training I left my job to follow my vision. There is so much to do and create, not just for myself , but also for the amazing people that I have an 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 State Training has changed everything for me. I can not 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 Brain State Training advocate. There are so many people around my mom and me who are in awe about all the changes that have taken place within us and most of them are supportive, intrigued and want to visit BST.
I just refuse to let fear invade my mine anymore! So, OFF WITH THEIR HEADS! I mean OFF TO MY LIFE!(hee hee hee)

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 and 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 sleep so soundly and wake up refreshed and ready for the day, that would be sufficient. However, everyday I recognize and live a better life simply because I know that I can. Recently I had to have a root canal performed and I have carried such fear of dental procedures since I was about 10 years old. I have always needed relaxation drugs to get through the 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 and I didn’t fill the prescription. I went into that root canal procedure, confident, sat down in the chair and went through 2 ½ hours of drilling and filling. Afterwards, I did not even need a Tylenol for pain and slept like a baby that night. No other explanation than I believed that I could do it and I believed that because of my Brain State Training. So, thank you all for helping me to regain that trust in myself.

Originally I went through Brain State Training for more clarity, focus and better memory retention. All these have improved, along with a 6 to 7 point improvement in my I.Q. However, what has truly been a blessing for me is the amount of emotional and mental baggage that has weighed me down for years, has finally been flushed down the toilet.

The Experience that I received from Brain State Training is nothing short of remarkable. I have on a daily basis, found new strengths of perception, focus, and overall mental clarity and control. These “Awakenings” as I call them are routinely noticed and confirmed to me by friends, business partners, and even the occasional stranger.

When I first started Brain State Training, I noticed an immediate calming of my mind. I referred to it as a decrease in my overall irascibility factor. Some might describe this as an irritating White Noise, that is always playing in the back of my Brain.
I noticed just how much the training was helping when I stopped it for a month and came back to it. The results were immediate and even more dramatic. Where there had been disharmony and discord there was now some very welcome serenity. If pressed, I would describe this serenity as a radically reduced level of Brain White Noise, resulting in an ability to better see the normal trials, tribulations and challenges of life in any given day for what they really are.

I started Brain State Training because my Dad wanted me to. I had trouble concentrating in school and finishing what I started. Also it was difficult for me to sleep through the night, I kept waking up worried with fears.
Now after over a little over a month of training, I can concentrate better, and once I turn off the TV at night, I don’t wake up until the next morning, like magic! The headaches I had are now gone and I feel more vitality during the day. I will keep training not only because my Dad wants me to, but for me.

I wanted to thank you catch you up on my experiences with your program of Brain Balancing. Having spent years understanding various methods of managing emotional triggers with external means, you can imagine I have a high degree of respect for what works and significant disdain for what doesn’t work. You may also imagine that I was not quite certain what category to put your program into and without actually trying it, there would have been no way for me to know. Now after working with your tools and system, I appreciate what it has done for me.
As we moved through the first series of sessions, I noticed a reduced state of “Brain Clutter” or constant series of thoughts always humming away as I work through myriad issues around the work I do. It was a minor thing though I did recognize a greater ability to focus on any given single task and though I have nothing to measure it against, I believe I was able to move through these tasks much faster.
What impressed me though, in a very big way was a weekend business trip where I received two pieces of news that individually would have been very difficult for me, but in concert, would typically have created significant stress and difficulty in working through the issues. In this case however,
I worked through them mentally, individually and then executed a strong plan of action on both issues. The concentration that I was able to muster based on our work was the single most important thing that led me through. For this I wish to thank you.
Now several months later, I am noticing that some of the work we had done back then has led me to a place where I am far more focused on things that are important to me. I don’t quite know how to articulate this but I believe that because I worked through some of my own obstacles to things that I wanted to achieve, I changed the direction of my life. While I don’t have the results in hand at the moment, I can tell you clearly I am approaching my goals from a dramatically different perspective and am driven in a greater “success pattern”, than I was a few months ago. I have no doubt our work was a hallmark to that effort.
Before the training as a fairly high functioning person, I wasn’t sure what kind of results I would get. I received results that I am very happy with. More importantly, I am looking forward to what this newfound “balance” will bring to my hopes ands dreams. Thanks for all you have done for me.

I have always had what I considered a poor memory and frustration with “finding the right word” in conversations. And this is why I came to Brain State Training.
After the first session, I noticed it was easier to focus on specific tasks and had improvement in my memory recall. After the first 5 sessions, I noticed a significant improvement in my concentration and a reduced problem with distractions. I could focus on the task at hand, tune out most of the mental noise of the day’s activities and complete tasks in a shorter amount of time, with improved confidence. Along with this improvement in memory recall, I experienced a reduction the fumbling frustration of finding the “right word.”
This has helped in both my professional and private life. I am very happy with the results of my Brain State Training and will continue to train periodically as a Tune Up.
I look at the fact that I have been working with the same neuro-pattterns for a long time. To improve my mental capabilities, I expect that I would have to modify them or generate new ones. The tune up sessions reinforce the positive changes that have developed during the initial training.

I would like to write a few words about what has transpired and how incredible the technology is that everyone in our group has in their hands. Five weeks ago I was told by Neurologists that my sister, Mary, would most likely be a vegetable, paralyzed, unable to talk, and unable to recognize family members. That she would be strapped to a wheel chair for the rest of her life. They explained that the Hemorrhage in her Brain had been so severe, that even if she did live, there was no way her Brain could recover from the trauma. They told me that her type of Brain damage was far worse than a direct hit to the head, such as in a car accident. Mary had a Brain Hemorrhage while giving births to twins and immediately went into a coma.
Even just two weeks ago in a meeting with the hospital staff they asked my family to question how long we would consider letting my sister live in the comatose condition. They truly did not believe there was any chance of recovery.
Shortly after Mary’s hemorrhage, I contacted Lee Gerdes, the creator of the Brain State Technologies software and asked him if there was anything I could do to help my sister come out of the coma and recover. Lee instructed me in how to do the assessment on Mary in the hospital and how to begin
giving her Brain State Training. It was not easy working on my sister while she lay in a coma in the hospital bed, especially as the doctors rolled their eyes at me, but because Lee had an amazing ability to hold space for me, to give me hope that there was a chance, and believe me, he did not try to sell me the moon, together we worked through the assessment and protocols process over the last five weeks.
So today I am in Seattle with my sister, Mary and she is talking, she recognizes her family members, she appears to have control over all her limbs, she sat up on the bed for 15 seconds today without assistance and she can move her head. On Mother’s day she saw her twin babies and asked how much they weighed and asked about a birth mark on one of her babies.
I have had numerous hospital staff come to me and tell me that they know that Mary’s coming out of the coma was a result of the Brain State Training.
Some have told me that they will be leaving nursing to become involved in helping people with Brain State Training. They are so thrilled.
Mary is on her way to a full recovery. We are all so blessed.

I suffered a stroke in April of 2007. I could not walk without assistance. I leaned to the left, I could not maintain my balance. I had pressure behind my left eye socket and could barley see out of my left eye. I had a great deal of
trouble sleeping. I thought that the life that I had built for myself and my family was over. My business was suffering which caused me to become depressed. The rehab therapist told me that it would take 8 to 12 months minimum for me to recover fully from the stroke.
In June of 07, I began Brain State Training. After my 7th session(4 days) I was able to stand up straight and walk unassisted with a walker. I started sleeping better. After my 13th session, I started walking without a walker and began using a cane. The pressure behind my left eye socket and the left side of my head decreased greatly. I could see better out of my left eye than I could before the stroke. I felt much calmer. I didn’t things bother me as much as before. After about 2 ½ weeks of Brain State Training, I was able to walk completely on my own, without the cane. I was so amazed and am such a believer in this technology. After about 4 weeks of training, not the 8 to 12 months that the therapist had said, I am happy to report, that I am back driving and more importantly I played 18 holes of golf just two days ago and shot a 94.
There are no words that can describe how I feel right now. I have my life back. I am so grateful to the BST staff and for the wonderful technology.

Five years ago I had a severe accident. It affected my Brain and left me plagued with a long list of symptoms. I was a shadow of my former self. I could not function anywhere near the way I once did. Doctors could not do anything and it seemed that there was no chance that things would improve. It felt like a death sentence. It was miserable.
I was referred to Brain State Training and have done 45 sessions over three different training series. The results have been utterly astounding. Brain training has made a spectacular difference in my life. It has given me the chance at a new life, and given me a life I never would have had again. Brain State Training freed me from a life sentence.
I’m your biggest fan. Seriously big thanks.

My son had a series of Brain State Training sessions in January of 07 to address daily headaches, poor grades in school and to improve sports performance ( something we added at his request). Before Brain State Training, he did not sleep well and would wake up groggy and miserable every morning. He also suffered almost daily from headaches and told us constantly that he hated school. After the training his headaches completely disappeared and his sleep improved significantly. He is definitely not a morning person but he is alert and ready for school every morning. For the first time in several years, he did not receive a failing progress report from his school. My husband and I have noticed some wonderful added benefits. He is much more pleasant and communicative! Our son’s transformation has affected our family in a very happy and healthy way!

I heard about Brain State Training from as fellow chiropractor and started my sessions in early March of 07. I have enjoyed doing these sessions very much. From the very beginning I could feel that something significant was happening, even thought I wasn’t sure what. Since then I have had significant improvement in several areas of my life, that had previously not responded to the yoga, meditation and chiropractic healing that I have been practicing and receiving for over 30 years. Some of the specific results that I have felt are:
Clearer thinking
More patience, less anger
Sleeping better
Less compulsive overeating
More energy, especially mental and creative energy
More consistency in my golf swing

I have now had 30 BST sessions, starting in Oct. of 06. I have lost over 30 lbs. and my commitment to my personal goals has increased significantly. I can see when I am going off track and correct course more rapidly.
Most importantly, I have experienced a sense of joy and happiness that had eluded me for more than 10 years. This is the first time in so long that I feel happy again, and the BST is an incredible tool for transformation.

After my first session I experienced a feeling of calmness, slept well that night and did not wake up with a headache. I have been having headaches on a daily basis for as long as I can remember. Being frustrated with these headaches, the only relief I found was by taking Tylenol 1s( Tylenol with 8mg of codeine) anywhere from 2 to 8 tabs per day. Since my second training session (June 1), the headaches have been non-existent. What an incredible relief for me.
Other things that I have noticed since the training, is that I feel a sense of maturity, self confidence, or maybe it can be described as an empowerment of my thought process. I have found myself to be more assertive, in a positive way, when it comes to something that is important to me. Prior to the training, I wouldn’t say a word and let it ride.
I have been able to work through situations that have been challenging to me with a lot less anxiety and with much greater ease. One other thing that has come to light since the training is that the severity of my hot flashes has been reduced significantly.
The whole training process is so exciting to me and I look forward to continuing on with it, as I know that I have only experienced the tip of the iceberg.

My entire life has changed since I’ve done the Brain State Training. I am, for the most part, stress free. I wake up happy every single day. I meditate so well. I am focused and prioritize work loads like never before. I feel empowered and confident all the way around. My monthly hormones are very much under control, did I mention that I wake up happy every single day. I am so grateful for my awakening and grateful for BST changing my life.

I flew to Las Vegas to have my first 10 Brain State Training sessions in Feb. of 07 and I was so impressed with the results that I flew back in April for another 10 sessions. After several sessions I began to experience powerful
waves of bliss and contentment. I have also noticed that I am more compassionate and patient with family members. The insights about myself and the people in my life continue to grow.
I work in real estate, have a great husband and a beautiful two year old boy, and the BST technology really expanded my capacity to excel and stay balanced in all the areas of my life.

The Brain Training has helped me rediscover and redefine my intuition and trust my inner knowing at a whole new level. I am sleeping much, much better, and the emotional pain in my heart has pretty much gone. While I still get emotionally triggered at times, I no longer feel in such turmoil. I am less reactive and feel more in control of my life. I am much better at stating my needs and taking care of myself.
Thank you so much for the training.

Before doing Brain State Training, my issues were pretty common with most people of this time and era. I had feelings of high stress and anxiety, and also feelings of inadequacy and being a loser. I was fairly screwed up in relationships and worse of all, feeling like I had no control over my life. My escapism included heavy pot smoking and not engaging life on it’s own terms. Although I have always been a hard worker, when it came to working hard for myself, I was always lethargic, I did not feel that I was worth it. I always looked for confirmation from others and not from myself. Anything that happened to me was always some disaster that God bestowed on me because I was one of his most screwed up pupils. Although I was fairly Psychic, I never acknowledged it and did whatever I could to push it away which often caused more problems for me.
After the Brain State Training, I realized that I had always had tons of creative ability but had not had any way to get it into action. After 3 sessions, the very first thing that happened was that it felt like someone had taken the plug off the bottle of my energy reserves. I literally went out and climbed a nearby mountain and sat and pondered what was going on. The next that I noticed was that I no longer enjoyed smoking pot. You have to understand that the whole process of rolling, lighting, inhalation and the smell was such a joy for me. What was strange was that there were no cravings to do it anymore and the smell which I enjoyed for so many years was distasteful to me. I have not even touched the herb for over 4 months.
This is a world record for me and not having it in my life is wonderful.
The other significant thing that I noticed was the lack of anxiety and stress.
Although I am working part time jobs and this would normally be quite debilitating for me, worrying about paying my bills, I haven’t been feeling anxiety or fear. The feeling of late has been that things will work out and be OK. This was confirmed when my unemployment ran out and I was still able to pay my bills. Another thing that happened is that my creative side is coming out. I am writing music again which I haven’t done since 2000. I am engaging life again and trying new projects. Regardless of whether they work out or not I am enjoying the journey. I feel closer to Spirit than at any other time in my life and the feeling of gratitude and humility for all that I have ever been, is a over riding theme of late. Another thing that I have noticed is that people are attracted to me. I have had some wonderful encounters with people just coming up to me and talking. They see something in me that makes them feel safe. I like that.
Would I recommend Brain State Training?
Absolutely. I think it clears the synaptic nerves of past programming, allowing the ability for more life affirming synaptic activity to occur.
Almost like getting a new start in life, which for me at 52, is a great blessing.

Well, things are looking up. I shot a 82 on Sat. from 6,500 yards, on a course that I have never played before. Front side 39, back 43. Screwed up on one hole on the back, took a snowman (8)-OUCH-, made some bad decisions.
However the good news is that in the past, when I’ve had a hole like that, it would bother for the next tow or three holes and I’ll at least bogey or double bogey. This time, it didn’t bother me and I made pars on the next three holes.

I wish to thank you all , I now realize what you did for me.
I recently competed in the California 70.3 Ironman competition in Oceanside. I had competed in 4 Triathlons before but this was my first Half-
Triathlon. It was a cold and rainy morning on March 18th. I had drove out Friday for the 6:00AM race on Saturday morning.
I felt comfortable, confident and trusted my training.
Back to the race. I finished in 5:52. I did a quarter Ironman in 2:55 in November. SO, I doubled the distance and reduced the time…a sign of huge fitness gains.
I know the Brain Training has helped me so much. I run 8 miles in 63 minutes now. I swim easily 3,000 meters without stopping and recently biked 80 miles with no pain. I did the 56 milesw in the Ironman in 3 hours, the half Marathon in 2 hrs. and the 1.2 mile swim in 40 minutes.
I also beat J.R. and 4 other seasoned Ironmen. I could not believe it.

Thought I would bring you up to date on what is happening with my golf game. There must be a long term residual effect from the Brain State Training. My golf game continues to improve. If my memory serves me, when we started the training my handicap was around a 12. It got down to a 9 by the end of the year. Currently as of 4/1, it’s at a 8.3 and I expect to be under a 8 when the new ones come out in May. I am hitting the ball great of the tee. Irons are better than they were and putting has improved significantly. Not missing many short ones and it’s not unusual for me to make at least one or two, 20 ft. putts in a round. I think I have been over 81 only twice in 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( 2 under) on the front nine at palm Valley. Then of course I started thinking about the score rather than the next shot and shot a 42 on the back. Still, 76, ain’t bad.

It took me a while to notice the changes, but suddenly I noticed that I was living in a much calmer state and taking problems with a much calmer attitude. I even laughed when my daughter ( she’s two) got my cell phone and left it useless. Also, I feel a new connection to the left side of my body. It seems that I have now two sides of my body with the same reaction speed. I feel confident kicking the ball with my right foot, but now also, just as confident with the left. It’s a greater sense of balance and concentration,
