Energy Excellence Training
The Energy Excellence Process takes 12 hours over three days to explain, so prior to the training it's very difficult to give a full explanation of the process. It's not my intention to convince you either way, instead I leave it for you to decide if this ME/CFS approach makes sense to you. However, here is a summary of the process:

The Energy Excellence Process is a combination of neurological, physical and behavioural interventions. The effectiveness of the process indicates that there is an adrenal dysregulation underlying the cause of ME/CFS which leads to mental, physical and emotional exhaustion.
 
Getting to the root cause
Clinical evidence shows that prior to the onset of ME/CFS, most people experience either a physical, mental or emotional stress, trauma or shock of some kind or a gradual build-up of stress to a point where exhaustion occurs. This elicits the fight/flight/freeze adrenal stress response.  Initially the adrenals are over-active but eventually become exhausted and under-active.  They can then see-saw between these two states and severe fatigue sets in.
 
The fight/flight/freeze stress response is designed for short term stress. However, with ME/CFS the stress is generally long term and the response gets into a deeply entrenched pattern/habit that is exhausting, unsustainable and perpetuates the illness. For some people the mind and body can get stuck in these neurological, behavioural and survival patterns - hiccups is a classic example of this.

In order to stop an entrenchment like hiccups, just using a psychological approach (positive thinking for example) is ineffective, because the problem is too entrenched behaviorally and neurologically. However, these patterns do respond to a combination of physical, behavioural and neurological processes that interrupt and collapse the negative cycle. This is precisely what the Energy Excellence Process achieves.

Training
We teach the client how to interrupt and collapse the entrenched pattern for themselves. Therefore the process is a self regulatory training, not a passive treatment. Because it is a training, the client has to be motivated to learn the process and then put in the necessary short-term work. Positive results are usually seen in the first 24 hours and within a week the negative adrenal pattern of ME/CFS has collapsed. Physical fitness and stamina levels take about 4-6 weeks to normalise.

Where are the courses held?
The Energy Excellence Process is taught as a group course and takes place next to a beach in an area of outstanding natural beauty at Llansteffan, near Carmarthen in SW Wales. The environment is supportive and peacefully nourishing.  The course is delivered over 3 consecutive days and has a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.  Course participants often come from as far and wide as - Ireland, Scotland, Norway, France, America, Australia and Nepal.

Why train with Amir Norris?
As an experienced ME/CFS Fatigue Consultant , I have successfully trained over a thousand people aged 8 to 80 years of age to overcome their condition.  Because I had M.E. myself for 10 years, I know how important it is to remove the mystery that surrounds the illness, and to know it's not your fault - this is a physical condition and not 'all in your head'.  So I give a scientific explanation for the cause of the illness and physical symptoms along with comprehensive Energy Excellence course notes.

Satisfaction Guarantee
If by lunchtime on the first day of this course, you are not absolutely satisfied that you are being armed with the skills to successfully recover from ME/CFS; if you do not feel that you have become considerably more knowledgeable and equipped than you were before you came, we will happily refund your money.
