When I was first introduced to Mick and Self Actualisation Learning Technology (SALT), life had become rather difficult and I was definitely not having much fun. I had been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) about a year before, whilst serving with the military in Bosnia, and my health was in a disastrous state. Previous to this diagnosis, I had had incredible energy and zest for life; I had been lucky enough to do lots of amazing things and get paid for doing them, but this had all suddenly stopped and I was really fed up with the whole situation. Spending much of my time sleeping and resting was anathema to me; it was far from what I wanted to be doing, but there seemed to be little I could do about to.
I invested much time, money and whatever effort I could muster into getting better, but all was to very little avail. I had also worked with various systems from basic health care and nutrition to more esoteric arts and systems. Anything I came across I tried; I was desperate. My investigations included yoga, martial arts, NLP, healers, chiropractic, osteopathy, spiritual masters, acupuncture, ayurveda, shamanism, cognitive behavioural therapy, herbal remedies, vitamins, crystals, magnets, pacing, visualisation, meditation, EFT, reflexology, colonics, dowsing, massage, homeopathy, radionics and kinesiology - to name just a few!
I wasn’t really expecting SALT to have much effect upon my health, but wondered if it could help me to deal with my situation and thereby improve my quality of life. I was about to be in for a shock! During my first weekend, I was not very aware of the process I was undergoing, I just know that it had an undeniably positive impact on my health and that it had a very profound effect upon the way I saw the world afterwards. This was different, like nothing else I had come across before. It was uncomfortable at times, but incredibly effective. It was so much more than I could ever have expected, or can even put into words.
After the weekend, the whole world was different, or that is the way it seemed. Although the recovery to my health has been slow, I am in a much better position now and I am incredibly happy. I am also coaching others in this amazing learning method, which should, in my view, be available to everyone that wants it, or is curious in learning more about it. I cannot even begin to imagine the results that could be achieved in the world if enough people can be exposed to SALT - it seems anything could be possible. Humanity is missing out if the most is not made from this discovery. With it, we can change the rules that we think are fixed in our reality, by returning to a state of open curiosity, wonder and amazement; a state in which so many groundbreaking leaps in history have been made by mankind.
As I sat down to write this article, I am amazed (although not totally surprised!) that my phone rings, with someone asking me how they can learn more about the coaching method. The synchronicities that now happen more regularly (or am I just more aware of them?) in my life are amazing. I love the impact that a weekend, spent talking about seemingly meaningless issues, has had on my life.
I have been charmed to lead a very full and varied life, having done some amazing things for work and travelled widely, but I can safely say that the experience of sitting in a room, going through the process of this learning method, has been one of the most profound experiences that I have ever had. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone and everyone to explore what it has to offer to their world.
