Brainwave optimization is something that I had really never heard about before my father's family friend mentioned it to me. It seemed a particularly abstract concept at first, but after trying it for myself I am convinced of its benefits. Through a process of audio stimuli and controlled mediation, my concentration has improved quite dramatically. It helped me channel my own inner strength, and to filter out the negative voices in my mind that prevented me from realizing my goals. It assisting me in being able to channel my concentration; and channel the full strength in my own mind to realize my full potential. This was done with my own effort and the assistance of Brainwave optimization
Prior to Brainwave Optimization I was not able to hold down a job and I was failing in school. Now I am happy to report that my midterm marks are all in the 80's, which exceeds expectations.
I would highly recommend it as a therapy for anyone struggling with concentration problems and issues; and performance anxieties as I was.

On Nov. 7 2011, I started Brainwave optimization with Glenna Reid in Calgary Alberta. Two and a half years ago I was out for a training ride on my road bike getting ready for Ironman Triathlon Arizona in Nov. of 2009. That dream soon ended as I was hit from behind by a car and the impact sent me hard to the ground striking my head on the pavement and cracking my helmet in half. I have not been able to race since due to post concussion. I spent many months off work and a lot of time in bed watching the world spin around me. My life had changed so much that I really did not know who I was any more. Little did I know that even though I returned to my feet after a few minutes, I would suffer with a head injury for over 2 years. All the medical testing came up with no objective results, but I know there was way more going on then the medical profession could find. Once I realized that I would have to seek the help I needed on my own. I discovered Brainwave Optimization. Feeling this could be one of the last chances I had at getting better I booked the sessions of Brainwave Optimization with Glenna Reid. After researching this procedure for a month I felt this could be very promising procedure to get me back to normal. After the first day of Brain Training I felt results, I slept great that night and my hunger was under control. As the sessions went on my head became clearer and clearer and my energy level improved very fast. When I returned to work the following week, I found my concentration better and I was more production in my job. It has been four weeks since brainwave optimization and I only feel better and better each week as Glenna described would happen. One of the biggest improvements is in my ability to train at the intensity I once trained at before the accident. I am looking forward to being able to complete a triathlon and compete in road bike races in 2012 thanks to Brainwave Optimization. Thanks Glenna for the amazing work you do to help restore people back to a normal.

WOW! I'm sleeping SOOOO much better---really well now. I'm thrilled. Before brain training, I know that by now I would have been freaking out about the upcoming live shows, and instead, I'm just calm. I can feel a little bit of anxiety now and then if I think about it, but I'm just focusing on getting the things done that I need to, and that consumes most of my time---not the fear and the worry.
So, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for the brain training and fitting me in when you did, Glenna!
When Kate (not her actual name) can to me her mother was desperate. Kate was 19 and had been suffering from depression for a year and a half. Any of the medications prescribed to her just made things worst. She had a racing mind and could not sleep. This was impacting her self confidence, attention and focus and she had issue with anger. Now just after 10 sessions her mother says:
“Kate is feeling much better in the past week. Anxiety is gone. It is amazing!
She does not have to run away from herself and go out aimlessly to keep her busy in order deal with her internal chaos. Instead, she is staying home, and been sleeping really well without medication. It’s like as if her body is catching up with sleep, that she has been deprived of since last year and a half. There is less anger now. Overall, she looks rested and at peace.”
Andrew's personal experience of Brainwave Optimization:
….. Brainwave Optimization is a very sophisticated process of balancing the hemispheres of the brain and bringing the brain waves into a normalized healthy pattern. What I learned from reading the book from the fellow how designed program as well as going through the process was when something happens to us be it a trauma or any kind of event even getting really busy, our brains can get out of whack and rather then naturally coming back is just stays there. This process is super powerful for bringing it right back. It is very sophisticated as I said. They really work a lot with people with ADD, post traumatic stress, anger issues and addictions, sleeping difficulties and all this stuff. Like really way out there and I was thinking that I not like that, but then as I start to go out and do my kayak and doing some hiking I noticed with all that has been going on in the last ten years with Procoach, my brain just doesn’t stop. I can be sitting down but not peaceful, you know what I mean. So I thought this would be interesting and I am always exploring... I did 10 sessions with, it was fantastic. Better sleep instantly even though I have never had troubles sleeping but now, right there and sleeping, way lower anxiety for sure, much more clarity, clear thinking, more peaceful, happier more relaxed, and the most interesting outcome of doing this, my daughter completely stopped acting out. Which kind of tells you what the stress that I was carrying and how it affects the people around me, like waves around me it was stunning. You ask my wife what happened as a result of brain training and she would say “I don’t know but I am really really, really glad that he did it.” …… it was very successful for me. It was very cool.

Lars' personal experience with Brainwave Optimization:
"I went to see Glenna Reid (www.brainawakening.ca) here in Calgary for the 1 week Brainwave Optimization intensive at the end of April, 2011. I had received an incredible testimonial from Susan Kenney, one of our BodyMind Nutritionists, how these sessions had helped her end the decade long journey with intense migraines and vertigo.
Going into these sessions I had already been practicing meditation for almost a decade, journeyed through countless books, courses, and coaches in search of the keys to inner stillness and contentment. In the glimpses of experiencing these two states using nutrition and all aspects of work in Body, Mind and Spirit, I experienced ever increasing joy and fulfillment in life.
After the first session with Glenna my mind was completely still. I was driving around after the session thinking to myself... "where are all my busy thoughts?" It was as if I was in the middle of a weekend long silence retreat... except I was in my car driving.
By the middle of the week I was sleeping deeply, had a complete shift in my awareness, and from waking to going to sleep was completely present and content with life.
I initially thought this "may wear off"... but instead it got stronger with each passing day. The 'reset' that I experienced created a clear mind that was no longer cluttered and revved. Instead of having too many thoughts hitting my mind all the time, now I experience -- for the first time in my life -- a still and quiet mind.
Throughout the BodyMind Nutrition program -- as well as all of our teachers here at The BodyMind Institute also teach -- that if we have a "happy gut, we have a happy mind." In doing all the parts to create a balanced, healthy gut, body and mind, I still felt there was a missing key with the mind, something perhaps that technology or a special meditation process or teaching could offer a solution to. I know I have found one of these "super keys", which is why I wanted to share this with you.
My experience with the Brainwave Optimization is something I feel everyone must experience at least once. For me it was like hitting the "reset" button for my mind ... and now I can effortlessly feel the continuous state of inner peace and joy that I know you and everyone you know desires.
Give yourself the gift of this experience, it is a gift of a lifetime!
Thank you Lee for bring this to the world!"

“Prior to taking the brain training I was in a huge rut with my job. Even though I liked the kind of work I was doing I was finding myself continually annoyed by my boss and colleagues. I wasn't producing the kind of results I wanted to produce and was becoming increasingly disillusioned with myself and the environment at work. I tried very hard to come up with solutions to this problem and seemed to just keep hitting a brick wall. My stress level was escalating and I was becoming worried about my health.”
“After the brain training I noticed an amazing shift in my attitude. I began to see my boss from a whole new perspective. We started working together as partners and coming up with solutions together. I am no longer weighed down with worry and stress. My energy level is now much higher and I'm very happy with the results I'm producing. It feels as if I'm in a brand new job, at a brand new company, with a brand new boss!”

“I feel great! Much more relaxed, I use to feel that I was fighting a stupor, now I feel relaxed and alive. I also had a miraculous healing on my right shoulder/arm. I have had this pain in my shoulder for over 10 years, I thought it was just something that I had to live with. Now it is gone!!! WOW!!!

Hi Glenna, I had a fabulous weekend. I came into this training expecting and looking for that "BIG" change. I figured being honest and open was critical to resolving and moving on. "My re-rated self"; material things just don't matter anymore, the weight issue I figure is more centered on being "healthy”, I believe that will fall into place now. I saw that the weight issue is just a sabotage of the real me hiding under all those layers!!..."I'm back!!"
I will say I am a 10 out of 10 for happy and am expecting a 10 1/2 real soon! I feel I am sleeping more peaceful, not really remembering dreaming but I am aware of falling asleep. A few final workds on that .... I love my life, the people in it an dmy job/store. I am very thankful for hearing about Brain Awakening ... and ... the rest as they say is history.

Brain Training has helped with my depression. It has come back, but only mildly and hasn’t stayed for long. In the past, when it started it was a steady slow increase in severity until I would finally go back to my doctor and go back on medication. I quit the medication on month before training and haven’t even considered going back to the doctor for depression medication.
I am also doing better with focus. I finished the writings for my first book two months ago. Managed to focus 20 hours a week for almost 6 months on pure creative thought and now I have something to show for it. I’m working on the illustrations for the book now. Overall, I now feel that I am productive and happy with my life. Thank you!!!

I'm amazed at how well BST has worked for me. I wanted to quit smoking, depression was also a problem, but I didn't really think that could be helped. Over the last 6 years I had gone from being a fairly quick marathon runner who absolutely loved the healthy lifestyle, a man fully engaged in the addiction recovery movement with 10 years sobriety, to a two pack a day relapsing, lazy mess! I had tried to quit many times. Twice with hypnosis, with two different brands of anti-depressants from my doctor and countless attempts at starting an exercise program. Obviously I was still trying but I'm sure you can understand my despair. After meeting Glenna Reid through a series of very fluky coincidences, I thought, maybe there is a God after all...and signed up for a "intensive”. After just a few sessions the shift in me was so dramatic...it's like I never smoked at all. Now, after a few months, I'm enjoying a "clean and sober" healthy lifestyle again and moving forward not backward with my life. Thank you!!!
