How Cereset is changing my life, Sakai

Michele LeMay 0:04
Hello, and welcome to another edition of Relax My Mind. I'm Michele LeMay. Along with Venice Sullivan, Venice is the director of the Fair Oaks Cereset. And if you're joining us for the very first time, Welcome. And if you heard the show before, Welcome Back, I think you are in store for an absolutely fascinating program. And although I visited Venice's beautiful and relaxing office in Fair Oaks, today, we're doing the remote thing for this show. Venice. How are you doing this morning? 

Venice Sullivan  0:39
I'm awesome. Michelle, thank you for asking, and really happy to be here. How are you? 

Michele   0:44
Oh, I am doing awesome as well. And I am very excited to be talking with you today. Let's start at the very beginning if we could, what is Cereset? And how did it get its name? 

Venice 0:57
Well, to start off with Cereset is a combination of cerebrum, which is brain and reset. So we're literally resetting your brain. It's a wellness technology that helps the brain reset itself. And I love it. Because for me, there's no medication, there's no side effects. And you don't have to talk about the history of all the stuff that's happened that you may not want to talk about. 

Michele  1:27
That's awesome. Because that can be difficult for people when they're starting out or they've tried it before and it hasn't worked in the past. 

Venice  1:34
Absolutely. You know, Cereset is incredible for a lot of different things. But a lot of people use it for drama and trauma that's happened in their life that is affecting their life. And it's not pleasant to talk about. And a lot of people don't go to therapy because they don't want to relive it or they've tried that and they're done with it. So, to me, it's an easy answer of changing my life, without reliving all of the old crap. 

Michele   2:04
So how does it work? Exactly.

Venice   2:07
What we do is we put sensors on your head, we're picking up your brainwaves, converting those brainwaves to sound and playing them back to you through earbuds. And as your brain hears itself. It's like an acoustic mirror. Your brain doesn't know what it's doing, until it sees itself. Now, when we get up in the morning, we might look in the mirror and go, "Oh God, I can't go out of the house looking like that". So we fix ourselves first. Or somebody said, Imagine putting on your makeup in a closet without a mirror. And then going out of a house. 

Michele   2:43
Okay, 

Venice 2:43
Then you look in that mirror and you go, Oh, I need to fix this. Well, your brain doesn't know  what it looks like, or how its functioning until it has that mirror. And then it recognizes itself what it's not doing as best as it could. And it starts fixing itself from the inside out to change its behavior and how you function, how you sleep, how you think how you react. 

Michele  3:10
So let's take us back to how Cereset came into being, give us a little history lesson. 

Venice   3:18
Lee Gerdes, who is the founder and developer, CEO of Cereset, was attacked by four guys long ago, one with a baseball bat. He was left with PTSD and a head injury. Now he also had had a pretty rough gal grew up in a rough area. And he says, You know, I probably had PTSD long before that. But the man's a genius and he wanted to be better, especially after this injury. It made him angry, he couldn't sleep he reacted badly to people. And so he tried for about eight years, tried every therapy out there looking for help. Through that he finally says, you know, one doctor said to him says, "We can't help you. It's literally all in your head. It's your brain, and we don't know how to fix it." And through that, he says, "Well, why didn't you tell me that eight years ago, I'll fix it myself", as a inventor, an engineer. He has degrees in physics and theology and psychology and computer science. He created the program himself and started working on himself. At that point, you know, he started getting better than his friends and family said, "Hey, do this to me". And so that's really how the business started. 

Michele   4:41
Wow, what an incredible story. So he found a way to like the name of this program to relax his mind. 

Venice   4:50
And the whole point is to balance the mind. When things are out of balance, no matter what it is in the universe. it doesn't work right. And so it's bringing the brain tinto its proper balance.

Michele   5:02
 So real quick, if somebody wanted to start the process of relaxing their mind, all they need to do is pick up their cell phone and just dial # 250. And when they're prompted, they can say "Relax My Mind". And they're going to receive an auto dial text message. And that text message will have information on how to schedule an introduction to Cereset, to you Venice. And I understand normally that's valued at $149. But because someone is listening today, they get it for free. 

Venice   5:39
That's correct. 

Michele   5:41
We're talking with Venice Sullivan, who is the director of the Fair Oaks Cereset, where she is going to help you Relax Your Mind, and help reset the brain.

Sakai  5:54
 Hi, everyone. My name is Sakai and I did four sessions of Cereset last week, and I'm feeling the difference, filling the shift. And I wasn't really sure what to expect. I just knew barely a little bit about Cereset. But that helps everyone in their own way. And so I wanted to find out what it could do for me. And as a licensed medical massage practitioner, I wanted to see if they can help me, if it can help other people. And to go from there. I was pretty surprised on the personal outcome, our personal I guess, income that is still continuing to unfold in this process. So where do I begin? 

Venice Sullivan  6:49
So tell us? What expectations did you have going in?

Sakai  6:55
I just wanted to feel it and just see what it would show me about myself. 

Venice  7:03
So you didn't have a lot of expectations ahead of time? Were you experiencing any things that you really wanted to change? 

Sakai  7:11
I didn't think so at first, I always thought there's something we're all going through, making new changes during COVID. I know it's been a lot lonelier and quiet, I've done shifts, a lot of life changes.So I know that somewhere in me that I might be hiding something that I couldn't see or pinpoint, and that I was going to maybe fake it till I make it kind of thing. 

Venice   7:36
So going in with no real expectations, but know that real go through change constantly in life. What have you experienced in this short period of time? 

Sakai  7:47
Well, the first, the first taste of it was just a minute, before I started my sessions to see if I wanted to try and the weird part. I guess for me, I felt that was weird because I didn't I just I could hear my brain coming back to me, or the sound of my brainwaves. And it sounded like a song I had been writing for eight years that I hadn't produced yet. And I just thought, I just kind of wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. I thought okay, what am I getting myself into? 

Venice Sullivan  8:21
Wow, that's cool.

Sakai  8:22
Like, how could they actually do that? And I was like, Oh, is it me? But that was just the first minute, I had no I do what kind of reflection it would give me over the four sessions. 

Venice   8:34
And what kind of response have you got up for the four sessions, or during those sessions? 

Sakai  8:39
Well, the first session, I was just kind of it's kind of breaking me into myself. It was like revisiting an old dear friend that I hadn't felt for so long, or maybe had never really fully experienced. And something that I didn't know I missed. So that was kind of the first session in it. That night when I slept, I woke up the next morning, my alarm goes off at six. And I looked at the clock and I said "what, but you didn't sleep"? I dreamed the whole time. And I didn't realize that I was processing things that I had just packed away and save for a rainy day. And it was not ever planning on probably opening. Or, maybe figured I'd go through some kind of therapy and see it at a later time when I scheduled in a session with somebody and they could help me clean up the mess.

Sakai  9:29
So I was dreaming and it just kind of hit me in my gut. And the sense of "Wow, I didn't know that. I was still holding that". So that was my first session just kind of realizing, By my second session. You know, I started traveling in places in my body going I want to feel calmer in this experience because I was kind of worried like, what am I opening my own Pandora's box? What do I have there that I didn't know?

Sakai  9:59
Oh, this is great because I don't want to live with this my whole life if I didn't even know it was there, like, how can I carry this it's too much weight to not even know is there. It's like packing way too much for a vacation. You're not even planning on taking. Lugging it around everyday, going maybe one day. So I realized I was neglecting myself. And that there was no one else who was going to do this dirty laundry for me. There was no appointment that I was going to make. And I thought, Okay, well, I need to keep going to sessions, because I want to see what else is there and what's gonna, what am I going to put myself through, or what have I been putting myself through that I wasn't looking at. I felt like in my career, it doesn't matter, you put your game face on, and you go work with other people's whatever they bring in. 

Venice   10:19
Absolutely. 

Sakai  10:21
And we use all the tools we have in our bags. And and we give them a new life perspective, and then send them off with their gifts. And we're good, right? Because we're holding space for everybody else. So we're, we're solid. And that, by that point, you know, in your career, we don't have problems anymore. People have figured them every single one out and there's never a problem, it's ever gonna come again. And I went, Oh, my goodness, did I just become my number one, my number one.

Venice   11:16
 Your number one.

Sakai  11:18
I forgot what that was like, as a therapist to go, "Wait a minute, it always starts with me. And the only way I can do that is if I can see". So that day two really was esssential in my personal growth. 

Michele   11:35
I'm sure people are listening and thinking," wow, I would like to feel calm. And wow, yes, I have been neglecting myself over the past year, year and a half, possibly longer. So I just want to encourage our listeners to pick up their cell phone and dial # 250 right now. And when you're prompted, just say the words, "Relax My Mind", you're going to receive an auto dial text message and that text message, we'll have information on how to schedule an introduction to Cereset. And normally, that would be $149. But you're going to get it for free. So again, just pick up your phone, it probably like me, it's within arm's reach anyway, and just dial # 250 and just say "Relax My Mind" to get that auto dial text message with more information on how to schedule a session to see if Cereset could be right for you. 

Michele   12:38
So tell us more Sakai. What kind of outward after your four sessions? What kinds of things have you noticed out in the world? Have you seen for yourself? 

Sakai  12:49
Well, I realized that my left and right brain hemispheres were activated. And after the second day, I could actually feel like I put two hands on the back of my head. And I could it felt like pressure. But it wasn't painful. It was just present. And I kind of was giggling going, I feel my brain is doing something else. And that I haven't felt to be fully on but feeling leveled, like the same pressure on both sides. And after my my second session, I actually started graphing, I started drawing diagrams. And one of them was on the left and it said financial and the one on the right says romantic relationships.

Sakai  13:39
And I was trying to kind of ignore maybe both those topics, left and right. I didn't I building both as healthy as I possibly can. But I didn't realize I needed to make them a focal point to filling up my cup every day and making it solid. And so after the second session, I just, "give me a pen and a paper". And I did and I just I just sat there before I even left the room. I was like "I have to write this down, Now!"  And after that I started journalizing and sort of writing and I didn't care if it looks sloppy if it made sense of the diagrams, and I just went "here I am". And it just was flowing so strongly that I realized that there had been traumas from before, that were resurfacing. And I wasn't sure I was like how much I wanted to deal with them. But I knew I was having a few more sessions to see if I could work them out or work them in and having that presence with myself and holding space. I feel like it's been priceless for myself, in patient care and client care on different large scales with so many different scientists, biomedical engineers, neurofeedback, biofeedback, all these different systems different. Great but they didn't show me what I saw in Cereset, which was really being able to examine myself like in an omnipresence, almost like a macro perspective. Like I could look down on myself, and then look up at myself, kind of like, examine deeper to find solutions.

Venice   15:21
 So one of the things I love about Cereset is it truly is the kind of a saying, from the inside out.   When we're working with a therapist, when we're working with medications, all these different kinds of therapies, they're from the outside in. They are being directed in some way, for expectations and results. With Cereset. It's literally your brain, showing you what's there and letting you heal in your own time and your own space. And it's not that I want to feel this, it's like the brain goes, this is what we're going to work on today. So a lot of times people come in with expectations of I want this to happen. And sometimes they get the exact opposite to happen. But they're awesome with it, because it's like, oh, like Sekai said, I didn't even know that was hiding in there. So it's really, again, and again, healing from the inside out.

Sakai  16:21
And to add to that, my third session actually felt kind of painful, in the sense of emotionally. At the very end, by the way, don't drink too much water before you sit in the chair. Because my third session, I think I had a few minutes left, and I was like, Oh, no, how much longer am I gonna sit this chair. I was like, but, but I'm here. This is. So this is so important for me, I've got to hear the rest of this. But what happened was, at the same time, when I say painful, I got sick of myself. I said, "How long am I going to hold this, whatever, all these years of different things, married to the military, you know, parents passing, or divorce, you know, things like that. Maybe some things I held that were shameful. And I can't change what happened in the past, but I can change how I feel about it now. And so they turned into growing pains instead, where now I don't have to reexperience that over and over again. It was kind of like carrying the remote to the TV and falling asleep. And then you wake up and your hands cramped. You're like why was I even holding it, there was no point I wasn't even using it. It wasn't helping me. And instead, I was like, oh, change the channel and put it down. Get on with it. It just. Oh, that was Cereset Because I never experienced that before my entire life with such great permission from myself. I didn't have to google anybody or anything like that. It was, it was it was me. And Cereset just gave me the opportunity to be with myself. And and also, I felt like the the most, the biggest thing for me was going from like beta relationships to Alpha relationships. Meaning beta, I was a firefighter on fire and medical side. And I left her and COVID things like that. I was always wanting to rescue people, because I think ultimately I wanted to be rescued. So then going through Cereset, I realized, oh, there's this there's this other person in me. And I was like, what is that I've been looking at who am I now? I was like, because I don't feel like I need to do that anymore. And this whole Alpha perspective is like feeling whole. And really like my true self that I've always wanted to step into. And I'm still growing from the fourth session. But I look forward to having more sessions because of this. 

Michele   18:57
 That is an absolutely incredible recounting of Sakai's four sessions with Cereset. And I loved what you said about you know, not holding on to things anymore. I think we all, we don't have to go through major traumas, there's so many micro traumas that we have gone through, you know, that we don't need to be holding on to these things anymore. And so I would encourage you to pick up your cell phone, dial # 250 right now. And when you're prompted, just say the words, "Relax My Mind", that's the name of our show. Then you're going to receive an auto dial text message and that text message will have information on how to schedule an introduction to Cereset Introduction to Venice, and this wonderful program to help us like Sakai said to be fully on and maybe you're not interested in romantic relationships. Maybe it can help you with all your relationships. We don't know and that's why it's important for you too.

Michele   20:00
Pick up your phone schedule that introductory session. at no charge, it's not going to cost you anything. Normally it would be $149 value, but you're going to get it for free by dialing # 250. Right now, say "Relax My Mind" to get that auto dial text message with more information on how to schedule that introduction to Cereset. I'm Michelle LeMay, here with Venice, Sullivan and Sakai. and Sakai, I just want to say, thank you so much for sharing your story with us today. Very, very inspiring. I'm excited to hear more about where your journey takes you.

Sakai  20:39
Thank you very much. So before I  went. in for my fourth session, I didn't know this was going to have anything to link with it. I didn't know it was, but something turned on in my brain that I just heard a song on the radio, and I'm driving to the office. And all of a sudden, this music flew through me and I could hear music in a different way that I like to play. And I used to have people I played with and did different productions with. But it's been a long time, it's been some years now. And I didn't know when it was gonna come back. And I thought maybe it'll be when I'm sitting in or we're going to do some kind of performance or benefit concert or something like that. But I haven't felt that in a long time. And so anyway, I'm driving, and the song comes on. And I just all of a sudden came alive inside, where I could feel it. Not only just like in my body, in my brain, in my hands in the movement, but feels so comfortable and confident to go back into the world that actually really makes me happy. That's a place that I forgot that, that really makes a difference in my life and who I am. And that that's me. And it doesn't mean that just because I'm different, they've asked my special, that's a special place that I have to hide it away from everybody else. And I realized, oh, I can share my happiness. And I will find people that looks at me in this happiness. And moving from that beta to the alpha kind of thing went, Oh, well, here I am. And feeling not have to be like so loud and proud and boastful, just really calm and collected. And feeling like just moving forward. And just a beautiful, graceful way. And I just want to share with anyone who might want to feel re inspired in a deeper way. let things go and build new possibilities. I feel like that's what Cereset has really brought to light for me. And that I hope that it does that for others and won't know until you try it.

Michele   22:53
Absolutely. And that's why it's wonderful that people can talk with Venice and see if this is something that they can become fully alive, like you, Sakai, and just be comfortable and confident in their own skin again.  If it's been a while since you felt that, please pick up your phone and simply dial #250 You're going to be prompted and you're going to want to say "Relax My Mind", you're going to get an auto dial text message. And it's going to give you instructions on how to schedule that introduction to Cereset. Again, thank you so much Sakai. I have been so inspired uh, hopefully our listeners have been inspired as well by your example and your story. 

Sakai  23:40
Thank you everyone for letting me share.
23:43
Love, love loves to Sakai and all the things she had to say. And yet it clutches my heart and gives me fear because everybody's going to want to expect that reaction.

Venice   23:55
I did four sessions and I had this major AHA that changed my life. And that happens with a small percentage of our people. What's much more common is, think about going to the gym, and you go to the gym, you work out. And the next day your body's sore and achy and you go "What the heck did I do to myself"? 

Michele   24:17
Oh, yes.

Venice   24:20
But that is the body changing. Just like your muscles change at the gym, they get sore the first day, when you continue to do the work, then that feeling that change comes. For most of us that change is very gradual. For a small percentage, a very small percentage. They get that instant AHA. Well that's kind of the number one thing I want people to hear about this.

Michele   24:48
Oh, that is a good point because yes, we all want to take that magic pill get instant gratification, instant success, and that's not going to be true for everybody. 

Venice   24:58
Some times, some may take a little bit longer. Absolutely. It also is, you know, how ready you are, how willing you are, are you willing to do the things we ask you to do to make this the most successful for you? And this program isn't right for everybody. So myself and the entire staff here at Cereset, Rosie and Bill, and Judy, we're all working to help you be the best you can be. 

Michele   25:30
That's awesome. And if you're thinking, Hmm, maybe this might be just the thing that I've been looking for that I didn't know I was looking for. Give Venice a call because we've been talking with Venice Sullivan, who is the director of the Fair Oaks Cereset. While Venice, this has been really an exciting and enlightening for me and inspiring to hear Sakais story. And hopefully, everybody who's been listening, just learning a little bit more about Cereset what it is and, and how it can help and, and again, I encourage people to pick up their phone, dial # 250 You're going to get that auto dial text message with more information on how to schedule that introductory session with Venice and Cereset. Thanks again, Venice for sharing your time and knowledge with us today. And thank you, dear listener for joining us as well. Hopefully you'll join us again next week on relax my mind. I'm Michelle LeMay. We'll see you next time.

Venice Sullivan  26:34
 Awesome looking forward to it.
