Has anyone tried The Chrysalis Effect Programme? Beneath the rather cheesy Internet marketing spin, what they're offering sounds pretty consistent with adrenal fatigue and the ideas in the Gupta Programme. They seem to get the mind/body connection thing and the importance of emotional support in dealing with this illness. I've been using the free meditation [...]

I spent the last 2 months staying at my sister's holiday house at Hawks Nest, about 3 hours drive north of where I normally live in Sydney. The plan was to get away and relax. I ended up working quite a lot, and having a lot of headaches. When I rested for long enough, the [...]
I just got back this evening from my retreat in the Hunter Valley. I stayed at the Youth Hostel for 3 nights while I did a bit of structural editing on the book I've been working on for several years. Then I went to Path Of Love. Wow... what an amazing experience. Lots of catharsis [...]
I'm currently in Brisbane visiting my father's family, motivated by my aunty's 80th Birthday. Technically, it's six months now since I began the Gupta Amygdala Retraining programme for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. So I think it's time for a review. I say "technically", because I only really stuck to the programme for the first four of those [...]
Well it's 3 months since I started the Gupta programme, so I thought I'd give you all an update on where my symptoms are at. I don't feel radically different, but I don't seem to have the lows that I used to. I'm not feeling so desperate about being ill, or about getting better. I [...]
I went to acting practise last night, and had a good time; it always gives me a lift. There's a girl there who I really like who has been quite friendly towards me, and I've been hoping to get to know her better. Last night I heard her say to one of the other guys [...]
Well I completed the 10-Day Vipassana meditation retreat at Dhamma Bhumi retreat centre on Sunday morning. It's a beautiful setting at Blackheath in the Blue Mountains, about 2 hours west of Sydney. If you want to do Vipassana, I can't think of a more beautiful place to do it. For me, the experience was largely [...]
I had a really good argument with a guy at acting practise tonight. He really pissed me off, and I didn't hold back. He was challenging me to open up, but wouldn't open up himself. He was playing games rather than being genuine. Plus he was unnecessarily abusive. So even though he was faking, it [...]
This is an edited excerpt from an email I sent to a reader asking whether the treatment in the Gupta program worked. After trying a bunch of other treatments and listening to crackpot theories from many quarters, I'm convinced that Ashok Gupta has hit the nail on the head with his amygdala hypothesis. CFS seems [...]
I feel ok today. Woke up and did soften-and-flow and the positive visualisation. I feel stuffed in the head and tired as usual, but pretty up-beat. Hey, it's a weekend and the sun is shining. You gotta love that. I've had a heap of highs and lows this week. Been feeling quite tense, though nowhere [...]
