From the initial assessment to the final session, your staff of trainers and administrative personnel showed a refreshing professionalism, punctuality, and positivism.  All of this served to create a space where I felt safe letting go of some deeply held tension. The seizures in my hand reminded me of the tense moments of flying my A-10 attack jet during air refueling, weather formation flights, and sketchy surface attack and close air support missions throughout South Korea, Arizona, and Alaska.  But, there was clearly a lot more stored tension than just that incurred through my military service. The feedback I received from the BST staff and the BSC equipment has given me clear benchmarks for opening and connecting with a space of rejuvenation, relaxation, and release.  Your team at BST and this process of BSC put effective tools for “letting go” into my hands.  You offered this experience to me as a veteran service-member, but I must thank you as a human being.  I can’t express enough, my gratitude for your hospitality, encouragement, generosity, and attention to detail!  If you ever want a recommendation, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Upon arriving I was impressed with both the facility and the staff of BST.  We were introduced to our trainers and began sessions almost immediately.  One of the first things I noticed was how willing my brain was to being trained.  I have had practice in the area of self empowerment and stress reduction techniques before but this was the first time I could see the results by looking at the different brain wave patterns I was producing while setting my intention through visualization and breathing techniques.   For the first time I was able to see my brain and my brain was able to see itself.  This combination of visual and auditory cues helped me raise and lower different brain wave patterns in different regions of my brain.  For the first few days the only thing I noticed was that I was exhausted from the training.  Almost as if I had run or lifted weights.  I slept very deeply and felt more at peace with myself as the trainings progressed.  I have always had a good sense of balance in my life but this training has taken me to a new level of feeling and understanding the connection between my brain and how my body reacts together.  I am looking forward to going home and seeing results in the areas I selected to improve.  One thing is very clear to me.  How we perceive ourselves and what we allow to be stored in our brains and bodies effects how we live our lives and what kind of experience we will have.  For me this experience has created a desire in me to master my experiences and not become a victim to them.  I am looking forward to helping bring this technology to the Department of Defense, the Department of Veterans affairs and the Nation at large as a way to regain control and recover from adverse life experiences.  BST has begun offering this training for free to returning combat veterans and is measuring its effectiveness through study of the training results.  If you are a combat veteran who wants to regain mastery of your mind and body I encourage you to contact the nearest BST representative in your area.  This training is non-invasive and is more like a performance enhancing application to optimize you’re your brain and body. You will like it!

My life contains all the normal stressors; bills, house projects, work, spouse, child, family obligations, etc. In addition, I am also an active military reservist and an Iraqi veteran. I have been in the military since 1988, serving on both active duty and reserves. Since returning from Iraq in April 2004, I have been extremely stressed, pissed off, hyper-vigilant, anxious and easily set-off to explosive anger. My newfound emotions left my family unhappy, friends
confused and work questioning my sanity. Within the last few months, I knew I was getting closer and closer to a complete stress/anxiety induced breakdown, or explosion, its hard to say which way it would go. Work also noticed my increased level of stress and anger, scaring some and causing concern among others.
My mind was in a constant cycle of thoughts coming and going, impossible to sort, categorize or control. It seemed like a hundred little men were all trying to gain my attention by shoving ideas, concepts or tasks to the front of my mind at the same time. Each little man wanted my complete focus, and as the little man gained my focus, another little man would shove him aside, restarting the cycle. Since receiving services from The Warrior Transition Project I am able to focus on each task at hand, and the hundred little men have been replaced by one little man, who only gives me one task at a time. I find I am able to focus clearly, my anger has subsided, and I haven't verbally attacked anyone. My flashbacks and hyper-vigilance have been reduced to a manageable level. I have stopped drinking massive amounts of coffee every morning, replacing it with tea.
Although this may seem minor to some, I haven't missed my morning cup of coffee in years. To stop drinking coffee, simply by choice, seemed impossible prior to "Brain State Conditioning". I have also reduced
or eliminated my nightly alcohol intake. Again, this alcohol reduction is based on my choice, not my past need to slow down the little men in my head or a desire to ward off anxiety induced insomnia. Additionally, and perhaps most important, I can focus on my wife and
son while we are together. Our family time is not shared with work, Iraq, or that deep, dark place that we don't want revealed to those we love. I truly believe The Warrior Transition Project has given me back my
life. Thank you John Henry, Veterans and Families and to everyone else involved.

I am a sixty year old Vietnam veteran with PSTD. I suffer from depression, substance abuse, and extreme clusters headaches. I heard about Brain State Conditioning from a good friend in Sedona Arizona
who went through the program in an attempt to save a failing marriage. My friend stated that the program really helped the marriage and even eased his wife's chronic migraine headaches. I had been asking the Veterans Administration for the last 2 to 3 years for other approaches to the PSTD than the regular " Talk Group Therapy" and countless psychotropic pharmaceuticals, some of which had left me impotent for over 3 years. Unfortunately, to no avail. I had even over the years tried private counseling, at great personal expense. It was essentially no different, basically the same approach-Freudian….My sleep patterns were about 12 hour per day, frequent nightmares, slovenly personal care and a lack of energy. No lust for life. And when my cluster headaches were in full swing my
attitude would dramatically deteriorate. Taking my friend's advice I immediately contacted Mr. Art
McCullar of NeuroFitness Center and visited him at his office with my fiancé Cathy. We were impressed with the company video presentation and I immediately signed up for the next available sequence of sessions. After the third day of sessions I noticed a dramatic change in my sleep. I was only sleeping six to seven hours a night instead of twelve and as an added bonus I was waking up with an erection every morning. Before Brain State Conditioning I was lucky to get an erection on waking maybe once every 10 days!!! My outlook on life has improved considerably. My energy level is
Phenomenal and by the end of the third day I went home and told Cathy that she should take the BSC course too! She hesitated at first, saying it would ruin her summer. I said NO, it would improve her
summer. Cathy was scheduled for back surgery last fall, she has spinal stenosis, but she avoided the surgery by regularly seeing a naturopath for massage therapy. So, I signed her up for sessions also and she is starting them today. I think BSC will help her pain. Meanwhile, I don't know if BSC has helped my cluster headaches as they are characteristically a seasonal phenomenon, they usually
start on November 1st or in early April, only time will tell. I have completed my sessions 5 days ago and the morning erections put a big smile on my face. What a way to start the day! The lust for life has returned! I have also been diagnosed with heart arrhythmia for 8
years and I have been taking increasing doses of medication to try to alleviate the condition. I am scheduled to see a cardiologist in a few days. Maybe BSC has had some effect on this electrical problem….
I was on probation for substance abuse. After over 36 years of self-medication and inebriation I am hopeful that returning to a balanced state through BSC can help me avoid drugs and the negative consequences associated with them. My attitude is very positive and I
have been drug free for quite some time. When I had my evaluation done at NeuroFitness Center by Mr. David McCullar I realized how far and wide my imbalance was. After only 2 days of sessions Dave was able to graphically show me that I was rapidly getting rebalanced. I guess I was lucky to be able to visualize peaceful conditions so well. I may need some BSC "Tune Ups" in the future, but hey, All equipment needs maintenance.
