Thoughts from our Clients

Dear Readers,

Hi, I’m Meghan, and I am 17 years old, The Energetically Sensitive Child Workshop changed my life and it was such a blessing to experience.

Before I went to the workshop I had many issues, starting with my childhood. I remember being interfered with a lot by negative energies, and this put me in fear. I had many nightmares and was haunted by many bad energies.

I saw beings both good and bad. I heard the angels sing and talk to me. I also saw bad, dark blobs of energy that for example, knocked over my dolls in my room, which got me very scared. I always wanted to sleep with my parents because of this.

This fear shut down a lot of my spiritual abilities because the darkness made me afraid of them. I also had Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), which is somewhat similar to autism but not. I was sensitive to everything basically. All my senses were intensified and I felt uncomfortable around people.

At restaurants, I always went under the table because the people talking and other noises would hurt my ears. Every morning it took me hours to find the right outfit because my clothes bothered me and I didn’t like the feeling of most things touching my skin.

I just wanted to be a regular person like everyone else. I am so thankful that I got a lot of help and therapy, and I don’t have it anymore. However, I do feel that these Sensory problems did trigger the insecurities that I had later on in my life.

Until the workshop, I didn’t know who I was. I had really low self-esteem and I never thought I was good enough for anything. I was always self-conscious about everything about myself and what other people thought of me. I felt like I needed people to like me to be happy.

People always thought I was on drugs because I’m always happy and hyper and weird. I got really offended by that all the time because I was never on drugs in my life and I felt as if my personality was being seen that way that it was not good. I was not happy with the way I was because I was different and people thought these negative things about me.

I also had family issues and I felt like no one in my family cared about me. I never got along with my mom or my brothers and I felt like my mom didn’t love me. I was sad, and I felt lonely and distant from my family.

Also, I’ve been associated with negative people who’ve brought me down and manipulated me. They made me think that I needed them and made me depend on them. I was a little depressed and not myself for some of the 9th grade.

I used to cut myself a few times because I wasn’t happy with myself and felt like I wasn’t good enough. I went to a therapist that didn’t help that much too. I’ve also been able to pick up people’s energies all the time and people constantly sucked the energy out of me, especially at school.

I always said that I hated school and whenever I was there I felt so bad and so tired and weak. Last year was very stressful, and I kept getting sick all year. After that, I kept having the fear of getting sick.

The Workshop with Michael really helped me realize that anyone can create their own reality with the thoughts they empower. I realized that being angry or upset is a choice, so now I choose to be positive and I choose the light. Now that I am being positive, my life is constantly improving.

Being and thinking positively attracts positive energies and people. I am becoming better at changing my ways of thinking every day. When the darkness tries to interfere, it is a celebrating opportunity because it makes me open up so that I can release it and become closer to the light.

I celebrate all of my life events and obstacles because they helped me become stronger and learn. It feels so good to release and open up, and I actually can feel the warmness and love.

I do many things that make me happy and help bring me closer to the light, such as music. I love to sing, play the guitar and the bass, and to write songs. Once I open up to being positive,

I actually find it easier to write songs. I write songs to send messages of positivity and happiness. I also like yoga and art and dancing. Doing things that I love and focusing on myself makes me more self-confident and makes me in a good mood.

When I first got to the Workshop I felt uncomfortable and weird because I didn’t know anyone (besides those I came with), I didn’t know what to expect, and I was shy.

That changed very quickly though. The Workshop was only for a weekend and I already feel so close to all the people who went. I definitely feel a connection with all of the lightworkers.

We continue to help each other. The Workshop was a weekend that changed my life, made me open up to my real self, and taught me that I am in control of my life. I am so thankful to have had such an amazing experience.

Love and Light,

I have been going to workshops with Michael and learning about energetically sensitive children for about a year. I have been learning about white light and how today’s world and it’s negative energies have been difficult for people to handle, especially for children, and even more so for those children who are especially sensitive.

My daughter is 5 years old and has always been extra sensitive to life’s situations. This past fall she began kindergarten, and I was noticing some increasingly aggressive behaviors (especially toward herself and her brother), so I decided it was important for her to meet with Michael and work with him. The first session was difficult for her because while Michael was working on bringing out her white light the negative energies in her were being released. About 2 1/2 weeks after we had our session I was noticing a difference in how she was reacting to situations that had previously made her act out aggressively. She was now able to use what she learned with Michael and I was seeing her approach life with a calmer and more peaceful attitude.

We have since had 4 sessions with Michael and my daughter has become her true self a loving, kind, creative, and helpful young girl, who when you are around her can feel the love and light.
I also have a 3-year-old son who was showing the same types of frustrated and angry behaviors that his sister was previously showing. Michael could see this at our second session and asked for my son to come to see him at our 3rd session.

My son is very energetically sensitive and picks up on the energies of others and learns and reacts to them. This negative world is a challenging place for him to be, but after 2 sessions with Michael, he is now able to do white light with me and get the negative stuff out and focus on the light.

When we do white light, I instantly see his whole body relax and calm down. He is then able to work through whatever negative energies he was experiencing. It has been an amazing and lovely journey. We are thankful to have had this life-changing opportunity to know and work with Michael. Our lives are now more focused on love and peace and living in the light. We now experience a more loving and peaceful life.

I decided to go to Michael Simonson’s workshop because I was seeking more peace and harmony in my life. Prior to the December 2011 workshop in New Hampshire, I was experiencing increasing anxiety as I juggled myself between my many roles as husband, Father of three, City of New York Firefighter, and construction business owner.

I found myself worrying all the time about our finances, and felt powerless about the constant arguing that filled our home. In addition, I felt guilty that I wasn’t able to spend more time with my girls, ages 15, 12, and 7. I wanted desperately a change in my life for the benefit of my family and myself.

Following a short conversation and light meditation that Michael had with me the evening prior to the workshop, I felt like I had already received my money’s worth.

I went to sleep that night amazed at how much I had already benefited. After the 6 1/2 hour drive home, I returned to the same life I had always had yet had a feeling of complete calm within me.

It reminded me of the feeling you get when you just cleaned out your garage and got rid of all the unwanted junk. I now carry this feeling wherever I go.

My name is Calvin. I’m 14 years old. I play football, enjoy martial arts, wrestle, act, jet ski, and surf. I like hanging out with friends and listening to music. I have two little brothers, one 4 and one 11.

When my mom asked me to go to New Hampshire, I saw it as an opportunity to travel and see new places. Little did I know, the workshop would open me up to a whole new way of thinking. It may seem like I have a pretty good life from an outsider’s point of view, and that’s because I do.

But to tell you the truth, before Michael’s workshop, I felt like I couldn’t keep up with all my schoolwork.

I also had trouble judging others and getting angry at them for the way they were acting. I would be disrespectful back to them and sometimes get into physical fights. I learned that when I joined in and matched others’ angry judgemental behavior I was really hurting myself because by being angry at someone, I was giving my power to them.

Now, since the workshop, I can simply notice when others are being angry and judgemental, yet I can still choose to stay a positive loving person, and then the negative person cannot affect me.

I’m learning to let others be who they choose to be while I stay centered on who I want to be, a positive happy successful person. It’s different for me and pretty cool.

During the workshop, Michael often reminded us about the power of our thoughts and mentioned how all great masters taught, “guard your thoughts…and thoughts create your world”. I have been much more conscious of my thoughts and how they result in what shows up in my life. (That’s why they’re much more positive now.)

Also, I see every challenge as an easy opportunity to grow as a person. Since the workshop, no situation has proved difficult whatsoever, simply because I am seeing the world in a better light. My life is finally under control, and I know I can have whatever results I desire.

And no, the workshop isn’t Hogwarts. It doesn’t teach you magic spells and tricks, it simply opens you up to abilities that you and everyone already have. It’s as simple as creating a positive world with your positive thoughts.

I chose to go to the workshop and I’m sure everyone else in my life notices how much more positive and at ease I am. Even if they don’t, I notice that things just seem to flow easier for me.

It has been my honor and thrill to attend a series of 3 workshops so far in 2011, presented by Michael Simonson and Laurie Ferris, about energetically sensitive children, energy, and understanding consciousness.

Each time the energy of the workshop represented the energies of the people who were there and the lessons we needed to learn or at least ponder.

I have learned much about myself, other people in my world, and the children of today’s world whom I am here to help. the use of white light energy exercises which we have learned about is amazingly and instantly helpful to students using it at Hunter school.

It is a way to constantly connect and feed ourselves expansive source energy, and choose to easily live more and more gracefully in a state of love and positivity.

I am learning to guard my thoughts, master my fears and judgments, honor free will in others, and thank those people in my life who have been my best teachers.

I look forward to attending future workshops and to continue sharing all I have learned with as many children and adults as I can in order to spread light and love to the consciousness of mankind and our planet, and beyond.

I have learned how powerful I am when I focus and know that energy follows intent… Thus I carefully choose the energy of the words I speak in order to say my messages with a loving and positive feel. I know I have already made an impact on the lives of many over the past 30 years in my work with children of all ages and abilities.

Now with all the additional vantage points I know about now for using white light energy, the impact I can have with children (as well as the level of teaching they will be able to show me) has grown even more!

Thanks very much, Michael and Laurie for creating these workshops which are happening with perfect timing during this period of unprecedented change and evolution in the energies of our world!

I’m so grateful for the joy, expansion, and light I experienced at your workshop. I noticed I was able to choose to stay bright amidst other people having self-described problems.

In the past, I would have claimed problems too just to fit in. Yay growth!  More than anything I appreciate the FUN!  I’m excited about playing with your white light exercises for me, my kids, and all kids.

Love, light & laughter,

Dear Laurie,

I just needed to tell you how incredibly amazing Michael is. As you know I was so excited to find your school on Oprah. When I came to The Hunter School a few weeks ago and met everyone from the principal to the lunch lady, I was even more excited about the possibility of Jonah going there.  However, the person who convinced me the most that The Hunter School is the place for Jonah was Michael.

I have to share with you my meeting with him. I started off by asking him questions about how he works with the children, how they respond to him, and other similar questions that came from my cognitive desire to understand how these children are changing so dramatically.

I have spent 10 years trying zillions of things to help Jonah. It wasn’t till he started asking me questions and working with me energetically that I started to understand what he does.

My questions were answered through feeling it. He offered to try something and I willingly accepted. I held up my hands, palms facing forward, and repeated things that he said. The things we said were statements to release negative energy and turn it into light and then filled me with positive affirmations. I felt lighter, more at peace, and centered after that.

However, the best results gradually came over the next few days. As you know I was diagnosed with lupus in Oct 2010 and have been very ill with it. I have been told there is no cure. I am unable to take the medicine the doctors prescribed because it makes me sicker. So I have been doing many alternative things to help with the pain, fatigue, and stiffness. A few days after meeting with Michael the pain, fatigue, and stiffness where diminished by 90%.

At first, I thought it was just because the sky was clear, no humidity, and the temperature was great (even though on other days like this I was still sick to some degree).

The weather greatly affects my symptoms. But then on day 4, it rained all day and mostly rained all day for the next 5 days. With Lupus, this would mean I would be in bed most of the day.

I kept waking up in the morning expecting to hurt and barely be able to move, but I was mostly back to my normal self. I was so excited. It has been two weeks now and I am still feeling incredible.

I still have about 10-15% of the symptoms on and off, however, they are manageable (I have a high tolerance for pain). I am just so excited to be able to do the things around the house that need to be done, but most of all PLAY with the boys. It has been so hard being a single mom and still taking care of them and being with them the way I would like to.

With Jonah being so energetically sensitive I know lupus has been affecting him too.

Now that I have been feeling better and can be more engaged in his life he has been happier, calm, and cooperative (still not like a typical child, but more than he has been since lupus).

I have been able to go for walks- fast enough and long enough to get my heart rate up a bit (need to get this body back in shape), walk upstairs at a normal pace, help a friend (I love helping others), be silly and playful with the boys, help them practice track and field, go to the drive-ins and much more fun things with them.

I am in awe over Michael’s energetical abilities. Jonah and I have been going to an energy healer and have had great success, however when this person went on vacation for two weeks Jonah and I regressed significantly.

I haven’t had a regression since Michael’s work. I feel confident that if I was to keep working with Michael we could CURE me of lupus or at least control it to a huge degree that I could function even during the winter (cold and dampness are the hardest for me). Michael’s healing has made a huge difference in my life and thus the life of my children.

I can’t help but think how blessed the Hunter School and all the families whose children go to this school, benefit from Michael’s gifted energy and teaching abilities. I am incredibly grateful for Michael’s gift of healing. I look forward to Jonah working with him and going to The Hunter School in the near future.

Namaste,

To Whom It May Concern,

For several months now, Michael has been helping my family in the realm of mental health services.  My 10-year-old daughter has been diagnosed with  Tourette Syndrome, severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, multiple anxiety disorders, and a non-verbal learning disability.

Her symptoms were severe and drastically impacted all aspects of her life.

Prior to meeting Michael, we spent several years and several thousands of dollars seeking help for our daughter from alternative medicine.  We utilized such services as naturopathy,  kinesiology, osteopathy,  homeopathy, and functional medicine with little lasting effect.

We then moved on to a more conventional, allopathic approach to our daughter’s condition.  Over the course of several years, we worked with 4 different psychiatrists, a developmental pediatrician, a psychologist who specialized in treating OCD, 2 physical therapists, 3 occupational therapists, and several social workers.

We tried many psychotropic medications.  My daughter’s condition rapidly worsened.  She was getting bigger and her impulsive behaviors and rage episodes were getting dangerous.  We feared that hospitalization was inevitable.  We were desperate and unaware of other options.

It was at this low and desperate point that we were introduced to Michael.  I had learned that his services, consisting of a unique form of energy work, had been extremely effective in helping adults and children with a multitude of diagnoses, including those of my daughter.

While Michael’s treatment methods were unconventional and new to our family, we were open to exploring his approach.  We began to learn about energies and about how negative energies affect my daughter, as she is particularly energy sensitive.

We learned that as we shift our thoughts and actions to come from a more positive place, and do so consistently, we begin to change neural pathways within the brain, which is key to changing behavioral patterns.

Since we began working with Michael, my daughter has slowly improved.  We are now able to take her out in public with us (something we hadn’t been able to do for over 9 months prior to beginning this work).

She is learning how to celebrate her challenges and see them as an opportunity to practice what she is learning.  When she does the meditations Michael has been teaching us, she has more control over thoughts and behaviors.

She is no longer exhibiting behaviors that are dangerous to herself or others.  While there is still much work to be done, we consider this to be an enormous accomplishment and contribute it directly to this work we are doing with him.

As a result, we have begun to wean my daughter off of her psychiatric medications which seem to exacerbate her symptoms, provide no relief, and have the potential for some heavy side effects.

Michael has not only been an amazing help to my daughter but has helped me immensely as well.  In the short time, we have worked together.  I have made more progress in improving unhealthy relationships than I had in many years of pastoral counseling and psychotherapy.

I am noticeably less anxious and feel empowered to make healthy choices for myself and my children.  I would also like to note that he has not asked for payment of any kind from our family.  He is aware of our current financial constraints and has chosen to help us at no charge.  This has been an incredible and rare gift.

I know for a fact there are other parents, and other children in this country who are feeling like their lives are out of control and they have exhausted all known options.

Michael offers an alternative approach to mental health care that cannot be easily found, if at all, in this country.  There are plenty of energy workers, to be sure, but to the best of my knowledge, most do not provide intensive teaching around the inner work necessary to change ingrained behaviors as Michael Does.

He also provides a tremendous amount of support via daily phone calls/e-mails throughout the healing process.    He is dedicated to his work and committed to the people he helps.  He is professional, patient, and respectful.  His work is unique, powerful, and so necessary.

I have known Michael Simonson for over fifteen years and during that time have witnessed his extraordinary abilities as an Energy Practitioner with children and adults alike.

I met Michael Simonson for the first time on Wednesday, April 4, 1996. The date is etched into my memory because it proved to be one of the most important days of my life.

Four months after working regularly with Michael, the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome disappeared.   After one private energy session, I asked him if he would be my teacher and accept me as a student. When he agreed to this I was privileged to attend his energy counseling appointments as part of my studies and witnessed countless clients over the years benefit tremendously from Michael’s energy work.

On a personal note, I suffered from migraine headaches for 38 years, but am now free of them thanks to Michael’s energy work and teachings.

He has transformed my life and has shown me that when I change my thinking and attitude, I change the reality I have been experiencing.

I have also seen Michael work with dozens of children such as an eight-year-old child who was incredibly violent, abusive, and totally out of control.  After working with Michael, this young boy became a calm, peaceful child who is now at age level (11 years old) mentally and emotionally, loving, capable of learning in school, and in control of his emotions without the use of drugs.

Before Michael entered this child’s life it was clear to see that once he was older his rages could easily have lead him to life in an institution.  I speak from experience because I was a teacher for 31 years and have had thousands of children pass through my hands during that time.

Michael has the ability to tap into people’s fears, and thus help them turn their lives around. Unlike a medical doctor who either treats the physical body or the emotions, Michael works with the whole person, dealing with the physical, mental and emotional bodies of each and every client.

Those of us whose lives Michael has touched so profoundly are forever grateful. To attend one of his guided meditations, energy sessions, or workshops is not only a privilege but an awe-inspiring and fun-filled experience.

Since that significant night over fifteen years ago, I have attended all of Michael’s workshops because he always has something new to impart that I haven’t heard before even though I have been privy to many of his energy sessions. He brings a delightful sense of humor to his work so laughter is always part of any experience with him.   I feel very fortunate to have had an opportunity to spend time and work with this remarkable Energy Practitioner.

Parents who feel they have “lost” their energetically sensitive children, and who are at their wit’s end to know how to cope with them and do what is best for them, could have their children “returned” to them as loving human beings with Michael’s expertise as an Energy Practitioner.

I know of no one else who has such extraordinary abilities as this man who works tirelessly for endless hours a day to help other people.
