Miyagi Training Is On November 4th
Have you ever asked yourself the following questions? Am I getting better in practice? Am I achieving higher clinical results? Do I have more value in my adjustment or healing method? For most of us, the answer is a resounding no. Miyagi is all about the pathway to mastery. It looks at what you weren’t made aware of in school. Everything in the world changes around you except your healing ability - you need to step it up. You can laugh at my declaration that my formal learning ended in 1982. That was when my real-life experiences began. I quickly realized that I couldn’t continue to practice with such a limitation of healing ability. License renewal counts nothing toward the development of your skills. The world of appearance thinks it can force/mandate/threaten you to become a better doctor. IT CAN'T! Training, training, and training the warrior spirit makes you a better doctor. It’s volunteer, and it comes from inside of you. Nobody can make you want to help people from a higher plane or dimension. If you’ve been in practice for a few decades, you have seen healthcare change away from healing excellence with paper notes, digital notes, regulations, increase focus on billing software, administration, and menisci to less and less on healing. It’s estimated that less than 50% of your work week is spent helping people. The rest of your time is spent attempting to get paid by your authority (insurance), rules, scare tactics, stroke nonsense, regulations, the king’s compliance rules, covid misinformation/threats, paperwork, CA shenanigans, practicing defensively, scrounging for low-quality new people, etc. There is no purpose, meaning, or passion in paperwork…ever! I can hear ringing in my ears from a few analytical stalwarts who argue, protect, and defend their stuckness. This has never helped a single person, and it never will. It’s a pathway for incrimination when you are in the crosshairs of legal investigation. Think license plates here (a form of identification so authorities can identify you if you commit a crime), the same thing. Miyagi is all about falling in love with your craft and the people you serve. Discounted tickets are available until October 27th. There is an open Head-to-Head date on Sunday, November 5th. Note: you fly home on Sunday evening as we will start the Head-to-Head early in the morning so you can get to the airport on time.
Christmas on the Reservation Is December 7th & 8th
You will receive the Christmas on the Reservation mailer from headquarters in the next few days. Get to fundraising early and often. We are being asked to do more this year than last year. If you know what you will be collecting or if you will be raising money, please inform Dr. Julie. For transparency purposes, the issue with raising gifts is unequal distribution to the kids. When your gifts reach the Reservation, we cannot predict how many for the different ages, how many for boys vs. girls, etc. It’s a logistical nightmare. One year, we had 174 age-specific toys left over. The point was that there were lots of overages and shortages. With funds, Dr. Julie shops on discount websites for free shipping, etc., to get the most bang for our buck. A few years ago, one of our members from Western Canada suggested a company we use frequently. We purchased underwear and socks for emergency help to Frazer two weeks ago. While there are no travel restrictions, please consider participating this year, especially Canadians. The TNR elves consist of a tight group consisting of perhaps ten people. Our members and guests love seeing the smiles on the kids’ faces and spending time with them. Please plan to join us so you can spend time with the other TNR elves, share meals with them, and take a few elders and kids in super, super need (houses burned down, orphanages, parents incarcerated, extenuating circumstances, etc.) under your wing. The smiles, the giggles, and the joy of the children give lifetime memories. These kids did not ask to be placed in third-world country conditions. Make an effort with donations and participation.
From the Mind of Miyagi
Why are people so superficial, resistant to change, and resistant to health? This is seen from dating to practice members to people at large. The answer will surprise many. There are no role models for health, no societal voice, and no famous media voice. What you are not exposed to, you don’t miss, and you make do with disease evasion and treatment. “Why should I come in 3x a week for months when I can plop, plop, fizz, fizz?” It doesn’t make sense because their worldview lens doesn’t include health.
What if you grew up without the influence of a mature, masculine energy and instead grew up with an immature, masculine energy? You will mistake destruction, domination, control, force, and violence as the norm. You will accept the negative role model as the model you will invite into your life. OH, oh! If you are a female DC, how can your partner overrule you with anything to do with health when they don’t know anything about health? Even though you know better, you swallow your tongue, look the other way, and blend in. Compromise replaces the ability to have difficult dialogues, and confrontation is replaced by yet another ‘looking away’ when the truth is right in front of you.
Expediency, convenience, and lack of discernment are the call letters of the day. Is there a single person you know who is honest enough and open-minded enough to actually make a decision? Most either do what everyone else is doing, ask someone they like (spouse/father/sibling/government), or do what they are told/mandated, and they still are not making a decision. They are taking the word of a person who doesn’t know anything about the subject at hand because they like and respect this person. Am I talking about religion, politics, covid, parenting, health issues? I’m speaking about all the decisions.
Stop adding to people's problems by being so soft and understanding why people can’t commit to being healthy. By agreeing with their silly stories of commitment disability, you are implicit in the assassination of health. Keeping your mouth closed and letting people push you around is the same. You didn’t go through all the effort, expense, and training to own your office to be treated like a low-paid, low-results associate. Stand tall and stand before your people in truth. Whether they agree or disagree it has nothing to do with your trustworthiness. Like a rescue dog, please do your best, regardless of whether it satisfies (it never does) the person. Do it because it’s the right thing to do, not because you agree with or recognize it.
DCME Confidential
Question 1: I know what you’ll say, but here goes. I have done multiple H2Hs, a 4-day H2H Intensive, and I’ve attended multiple trainings, yet I’m still uncomfortable with DCME/Level 2s. What should I do?
Answer: Cold water is cold water, no matter how you cut it. Just jump in and start the journey. Waiting for the water to warm up doesn’t count. Hook a tuna!
Question 2: My DCME/Level 2 is getting increasingly aggressive with me. I say night and they say day. I say dark and they say light. What’s happening? Don’t they realize I’m only here to help?
Answer: Their ego is being challenged and it will attack you. Can you provoke or agitate the ego to allow change, or will it protest and get you fired? That is the magical question. It takes great skill, finesse, and experience not to be domineering, blunt, or cruel but firm enough so that change and a forward direction is achieved. Welcome to my world!
