Testimonials by Facilitators 2014 Cheryl Thapa, 35, MN I gained a technique that has been and is effective at seriously changing lives for the better of many clients. This is priceless. My training experience was an integral process of rapid personal and professional expansion. My perspectives of business shifted into a conscious, balanced, and compassionate one that became palatable for my previous "don't want to be a taker" mindset. My experience at training was so powerful, I felt the effects for months as it launched me into a new place of "being" with myself, both in general and in my business. 2. Would you recommend this program to others? And why? Yes I would, for all the powerful reasons mentioned in #1. This training will change you, will change the world around you. If you feel called to make an impact, this is it. 3. Have you had previous trainings in healing or self-development prior to coming to training? If so how does it compare to this training? Yes, I have been trained in a variety of healing modalities and therapy techniques in addition to my education in Psychology, Social Work, and Trauma Studies. The Higher Brain Living training doesn't actually compare to these other trainings because the personal growth aspect that took place for me was minimal compared to Higher Brain Living. I've never been to any other training where I've learned a technique as revolutionary as this, or where I've also received sessions to energize my Prefrontal Cortex, in a room of many others doing the same, and experienced the collective consciousness unfold in such a tangible manner. Above all, this training is an experience of humanity as we ought to be, an experience of a new culture that we are actually creating. Wow! 4. What is your experience of Dr. Michael Cotton? I met Dr. Michael Cotton prior to signing up for the training. My first impression of Dr. Michael Cotton, as I heard his vision was that this all sounds "lofty and grandiose." But to be honest, as I stirred in my bed that very evening, what I was so struck by is that he actually wasn't showing up with ego. He fully believes that Higher Brain Living is much bigger than himself and this shines through. Dr. Michael Cotton is convicted, a strong leader and visionary, and he is also personable and greets his trainees with gratitude, thoughtful guidance, and imparts his wisdom from past experience. He implores all of us to step into our greatness for the greater good, and this is a very noble quality. He shares in this journey with us, celebrates our successes, and encourages us through
challenges. Dr. Michael Cotton is the most accessible leader of his kind from my view and life experience. 5. What is your experience as a Higher Brain Living Facilitator? I'm so grateful to be a part of the SOLUTION in a struggling world. I spent a decade working on inpatient psychiatry units at a large metro hospital and became despondent, realizing that I was actually contributing to "the problem." I felt morally obligated to find, practice, and BE a part of the solutions. Being a Higher Brain Living Facilitator has granted me this privilege and I'm so grateful...and so are my clients! Clients often shed tears of gratitude as they hug me tight after their sessions, while they're thanking God. If this isn't living the dream, I don't know what is. 6. Do you hold any professional credentials? If so what? BA in Psychology, Master's in Social Work, LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker), Private Practice Psychotherapist 7. Provide your name, age and city, state. Cheryl Weber-Thapa, 35, Eagan MN any company marketing or business. I Approve. Peace. Steven Giron, 45, NYC Every training has been amazing, building on the foundation of the previous. It feels so good to grow as a person. Each time I train, I look forward to the next one because I know that there is more growth for me as a human being. And I know I can find exponential growth at Higher Brain Living trainings. At training, we all grow together as a community. 2. Would you recommend this program to others? And why? Yes! You cannot put a price on the kind of personal growth and development you will receive at training. Not only will you learn a skill, but you will be transformed in the process. If you re willing to become something new, to become a whole new person, a person with tremendous purpose, love, and deep passion, then this training is for you.
3. Have you had previous trainings in healing or self-development prior to coming to training? If so how does it compare to this training? Yes, I have had trainings in both healing and self-development prior to training. Training in Higher Brain Living is so far beyond anything that has come before, and beyond anything I have experienced recently. The results ---- for both client AND facilitator -- are an emergent phenomenon, which means that the whole is much greater than the sum of the parts. I have experienced non-linear breakthroughs before in healing and transformational growth programs, but Higher Brain Living takes it to a level beyond which there are even words to describe the level at this newly emergent stage of development. 4. What is your experience of Dr. Michael Cotton? Without being over the moon about it, I love Dr. Michael Cotton and what he stands for. After over a year of interacting with him, I know I can count on him to keep the integrity of the technique, and to hold the facilitators that train with him to a level of integrity for themselves. Not only has he created a new modality that has the capacity to revolutionize humanity itself - which is a monumental feat in and of itself! but then he takes it to a whole new level by living as an example of this new level of humanity, and training others to do the same! There is a difference between knowing the path, and walking the path, and there are very few examples of people who are walking the path. Dr. Michael Cotton is one of them. 5. What is your experience as a Higher Brain Living Facilitator? As a case in point, today I facilitated 11 people over the course of an 8-hour day. And now I am writing a testimonial late at night. Why? Because I have been energized by my work. There was so much gratitude, happiness, and joy today while working and witnessing the transformation of myself and others. I become more while they become more. While there are many jobs that hold the promise of fulfillment, this work fulfills on that promise. I want everyone to have that kind of experience at work. 6. Do you hold any professional credentials? If so what? Yes, I have a Bachelors of Engineering Physics, and a Doctorate of Physics (Elementary-Particle Physics). I have also been trained in a form of Reiki. 7. Provide your name, age and city, state. Dr. Steven Giron, 45 years old, New York, NY. any company marketing or business.
I approve the use of my testimonial for any marketing or business by Higher Brain Living. Kristin Adams 37, Raleigh, NC My experience at training was intense and fascinating. I'll answer the question on two levels. Technically - My technical and educational experience of training was definitely worth the time and money. When I signed up I really had no idea if I even wanted to be a facilitator. I just knew that I had to know more about Higher Brain Living and my gut told me to sign up. So I listened. I went into training ready for a unique experience. I definitely got one! I really can't believe that you packed so much information into those trainings. The training was fascinating, especially coming from a totally different professional background, when I went into training it was hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that in a few weeks I would be well enough trained to be a licensed facilitator and have the skills I needed to facilitate Higher Brain Living sessions. I gave my first few sessions a few weeks after returning from training and it was amazing! It worked and I was part of that! I was excited that I was able to learn a skill in a few weeks and put it into action to affect such a profound positive change in others. Personally - If I had the time and the foresight to plan better I would have signed up for the Advanced (at the time they didn't have Mastery) in order to personally experience personally more Higher Brain Living sessions in that atmosphere. Even if I had never put what I learned in training into practice, my experience in the Retreat Days and the shift in my own mind and body during the hours of hands on training and 'retreat days' would have still made the training worth every penny. I would do it again in a heartbeat. 2. Would you recommend this program to others? And why? Yes, I would recommend the program to others. I value and seek out experiences over buying and acquiring things. I may be biased but I think everyone should value and seek out experiences and connection over things. I have traveled all over the world and had so many amazing, rare, exotic experiences that I am really grateful for. Each as expanded my horizons and allowed me to experience myself and my connection to others and this world in a new way. I am also grateful that I had the courage to go out in a limb and enrich my perspective of the world and my connection to it. As an 'experience chaser', there are few opportunities that can offer you such a radical positive shift in
your perception of the world and yourself as Higher Brain Living can. I couldn't not do it. When presented to me as a new experience I knew I had to sign up. It was that simple. There are few moments in life that we experience a true sense of awe and wonder. Learning this technique and seeing your positive effect on others (even during the training) is so rare and priceless. I can think of very few experiences at offer this level of personal shift and exploration. 3. Have you had previous trainings in healing or self-development prior to coming to training? If so how does it compare to this training? No, I have never been trained in any healing or self-development. This was totally new to me. 4. What is your experience of Dr. Michael Cotton? Incredibly knowledgeable, personable and grounded while also having a very expansive vision of the future. 5. What is your experience as a Higher Brain Living Facilitator? I've been a Higher Brain Living facilitator for two months. I currently offer six sessions a week. Being a part of the experience and facilitating that shift in others is so amazing and humbling. I am really excited to now have the skill to affect such a profoundly positive shift in others. There is also a sense with every session of really seeing the humanity in every single person on a profound soul level that is simply hard to put into words. I'm really thankful that I made the choice to go to training. That decision has led me to experiences I would have never had otherwise. Unexpectedly, every time I facilitate session I also physically experience most relaxing beautiful sensation moving through my body. I feel my higher brain activate even facilitating a session. 6. Do you hold any professional credentials? If so what? Owner and Facilitator of Satori Minds 7. Provide your name, age and city, state. Kristin Adams, 37, Raleigh, NC any company marketing or business. I approve your use of my statements for company marketing or business. Jim Case, 50 San Diego, CA I have been a Facilitator of Higher Brain Living for over a year now. My first experience of Higher Brain Living was through a National Presentation that was conducted in San Diego. I knew nothing of this process or Dr Cotton prior to this. Actually it was a friend
who invited me to the Presentation. What I witnessed during the demonstration blew my mind! I d never seen or felt anything like it before. It was truly a life changing moment. I went to the National Presentation in April, signed up for Advanced Facilitator training, and attended training that July and August. The experience at training was truly remarkable. I signed up for training never having experienced the process myself. My first experience of the process was in a room with over 100 people. I volunteered to be a demo for the technique training. Drew, the lead trainer, began to execute some of the steps of a session. My body exploded with energy. I was moving, or waving as it s called, so profoundly that everyone in the room was a little freaked out. Until that moment I had never experienced anything that profound. It was almost beyond belief. Training continued in that vein for the entire process. The trainers were amazing, talented, accessible, available and wonderfully authentic. They were available every evening to assist us with practice, working one-on-one to refine technique, answer questions, share their experiences as clients and as Facilitators. Everyone was consistently encouraged and uplifted. The content of the training was thorough, deep and well structured. It was obvious that my success and understanding of this process and this movement were extremely important to the training team. Every day was filled with great information and understanding layered beautifully to prepare me as much as possible to be able to open a Center. I did just that. A little over a month after training, I had my first Presentation in my Center. I haven t looked back since. My business is doing well, but even better is the experience I am Facilitating for my clients. 2. Would you recommend this program to others? And why? This process is incredibly profound and even more effective. To be able to do this work, and see such powerful, positive results is, by far, the most fulfilling experience of my life. I highly recommend attending the training. The other thing that is amazing is that I was not looking to become an entrepreneur- it was nowhere on my radar. Through my transformation through my own 22 sessions (and beyond) I have experienced such profound expansion of consciousness, as well as, crystal clear clarity, powerful focus, connection and so much more. I exist in state of peace and joy most of the time. I do not worry, rarely stress, I do not live in fear..of anything. I experience my life as never ending opportunity-and the possibilities are endless! 3. Have you had previous trainings in healing or self-development prior to coming to training? If so how does it compare to this training? I have been involved in self-development since my mid teens. I have attended many seminars, classes, therapy, trainings, etc. All had their merit, but truly nothing has come close to what I have experienced with Higher Brain Living; both as a client and Facilitator. The quantum leaps in consciousness and expansion, as well as, the profound clarity have assisted to me to achieve things I just sort of figured I wouldn t get to experience in this life in the way of success, love, personal power, deep healing I could go on and on.
4. What is your experience of Dr. Michael Cotton? Dr. Michael Cotton is a brilliant man. The depth and breath of his knowledge and experience was like icing on the cake during training. We could have conversations on everything from simple technique questions to deep explorations of consciousness and human evolution. His grasp of the science is overwhelming. He has discovered/created the most incredible tool I have ever experienced in personal development and transformation- and it is quite practical, meaning this process makes you more effective in the world. It is not a way to escape it. 5. What is your experience as a Higher Brain Living Facilitator? My experience with Higher Brain Living as a client and Facilitator continues to grow and evolve and incredible, mind blowing ways. Dr. Cotton talked frequently in training about this process having no ceiling. Having experienced approx. 45 sessions now I can fully attest to and confirm that is the case. Every time I think there couldn t possibly be more- there is. I cannot recommend this process or the training highly enough. I have found that thing that fills me completely, connects me in ways I didn t know was possible, and I live in such a place of deep Joy and happiness. Every day is an awesome adventure. 7.

I give Higher Brain Living permission to use my testimonial for marketing and business. JC Michelle Depres, 56, Boulder, CO Higher Brain Living changed the trajectory of my Life. The retreat style sessions were amazing, and extremely healing for me. I was previously diagnosed with a pre-frontal cortex injury (automobile accident), and was suffering greatly with post concussion symptoms. After the first week of training (about 6 sessions, total), I literally felt my brain coming back together, to mid-line. It was as if parts of me had split off, and were coming back in. I found myself being able to hold more than one thought at a time, which had not occurred since the accident one year earlier. I had been told by Neurologists, that I would get no better, and Cognitive Rehab was no longer bringing any improvement. Higher Brain Living changed my life.. and this happened at
training. In addition to my own personal healing, I found training far exceeded my expectations. Life and my role it in became clear. 2. Would you recommend this program to others? And why? I absolutely would recommend this program to others, and have recommended. My daughter went through training last year, and she now works in my Awaken Center with me. I am absolutely loving this. 3. Have you had previous trainings in healing or self-development prior to coming to training? If so how does it compare to this training? I have had training as a shamanic practitioner, in past life regression, and in Astrology. Higher Brain Living far exceeds any other training I have experienced. The self-growth process itself was amazing. 4. What is your experience of Dr. Michael Cotton? Dr. Michael Cotton is not only brilliant, but also has a great Heart which isn t always seen in the Videos. Head, Heart and Spine are his words, and in my opinion, he lives this. 5. What is your experience as a Higher Brain Living Facilitator? I LOVE being a Higher Brain Living Facilitator. Opening an Awaken Center has, brought me tremendous joy, and gratitude. I pinch myself sometimes, just to make sure I m not dreaming. I am honored to be part of this Sacred movement, which facilitates Higher Consciousness through the physical realm making Higher Consciousness and Spiritual Connection available us all. 6. Do you hold any professional credentials? If so what? I am a CPA, Certified Public Accountant. Prior to Higher Brain Living, I worked as a CPA, for 16 years, and as a CFO for an additional seven years. 7. Provide your name age and city, state.
