My daughter Jasmine contracted Molluscum Contagiosum from swimming when she was about 10 months to 1year old. Basically there is nothing medically you can do for it. When we were in South Africa in January the bumps/rash flared up and became red and sore and developed into nasty sores.

I became quite concerned and took her to a doctor who again said there was nothing I could do. So I decided to do some NPA. I think I did about 2 or 3 NPA processes. 'This Jasmine's skin virus, This energy of Jasmine's skin virus' etc.

Anyway when we got back from South Africa it cleared up within about a week. Jasmine is now 2 years and 8 months.

I was in a slump, a low like I had never experienced before. Fear was making inroads and I was thinking negative, debilitating thoughts, pushing away what I usually felt was good. Frankly, I was getting scared that something was wrong with me.

Joel listened and waited and listened some more. He then asked my permission to use his Non-Personal Awareness (NPA) method with me. To my amazement and delight, within minutes, literally, I felt a shift toward the positive. It was an undeniable shift and many hours later I was still enjoying the feeling of it…

I have been enjoying the quick and positive up-spiral that NPA seems to so easily bring any time that I choose to use it. My experience with such tools puts NPA right up there with 'The Work' of Byron Katie. Powerful and deceptively simple.

I wanted to let you know of my 30 day success! I started with a body issue I wanted to contend with, I wanted to lose some weight and to feel more feminine. So it was "this beautiful feminine body" (This is the 'cookie cutter' phrase Valerie chose, that she would put through the process each day of the programme - ed)

The first 10 days there was no significant change, the following week, I began to fast, which felt a little harsh at first and then seemed to inspire me to move. I began a ritual 2 mile speed walk around the park twice a day, 1st thing in the morning and last thing before the sun set. (People often report that around the 10 day mark, surprising, yet relevant, 'action impulses' arise and seem easier to follow than expected - ed)

As you can imagine, the summer was beginning and nature was responding, it was glorious, and filled my soul with a new lease, so by day 20 I had lost the spare tyre which was becoming resident around my waist, and I was feeling awake and alive.

The last 10 days was the most impressive. Having lost a dress size, I loved the way I felt, I went to shop for some new clothes and I was looking at items, which in the past I would never have considered! I bought items which were so feminine, I surprised myself.

I have been getting such nice compliments, which in the past would have had the opposite effect than intended. I had never known how to take a compliment and here I was smiling with a new sense of pride.

Yesterday I went to a wedding of a friend I grew up with. She and her sister were always a source of pain for me along with all their girlfriends. I had always felt so unattractive in their company - they were always so girlie and pretty, I felt ugly and out of place with them.

As I prepared for the day I looked in the mirror to say my NPA phrase, and began to cry, whispering "I am beautiful and feminine too." I felt a life time of pain pour out of me, and though the pain had always had an adverse reaction, as I dressed in my wedding outfit, the pain left and I recited my NPA phrase "this beautiful feminine body!"

I looked and felt great. I lit up, I glowed, I even got compliments from people I didn't even know, WOW!!! to be willing to experience a beautiful and feminine body was fantastic!

Thank you thank you thank you!    Valerie. x
