DCME Training Is On January 17th!
Where else in our profession can you get almost one-on-one training while sitting side-by-side with other doctors and healers? It is simply unheard of. The average doctor attends only the mandated (forced) license-credit snooze fests to keep their license. The “sharks in the water” vendors are at these events with every imaginable BSO to further invade your principled healing. Pain relief only is not healing. They have no intention of helping you become a better doctor. The ego convinces us to become a minimalist. After a quarter of a century of guiding doctors, I have witnessed a small percentage of doctors who insist on being their best. As a result of their humanitarian orientation and out-of-this-world clinical results, they earn 3, 5, or 10x the income of an average, face-in-the-crowd doctor. It’s always a choice, and these doctors know it. You don’t have to inspire, cheerlead, or pump up a warrior; it’s in our DNA. Discounted tickets are available until January 7th.
We’re Back From The Frigid Reservation!
The memory of smiles, joy, and squealing remains with us, like the scent of a delicate perfume. It takes days and days to process. I am so proud of our members who made the journey, our members who raised the funds to fuel the adventure, and all the people who donated online to make all of this possible. Vernice Chopper was our MVP as she did a credible imitation of Kenny Smoker by being everywhere all at once. Nothing could stop us; even planes overshooting the runway could not keep the TNR elves from distributing their gifts. Driving in whiteout conditions, temperatures as cold as minus 11, and wind gusts up to 40 MPH were merely obstacles to be overcome. Lots of Canadians traveled through the darkness in the snow. If you want to get things done, hand it over to the Canadians. They get things done, from unclogging frozen toilets to installing hundreds of batteries and whatever else you need done. The stories of adults retelling their childhood memories of receiving gifts were heartwarming. Most of the teachers and the kids remembered us from the year before and expressed their gratitude. We even found time to hand out food to homeless people and a homeless shelter. The humility and gratitude they showed us were highlights of our trip. One man insisted on shaking our hands before receiving his food. Big, salty tears are streaming down my face as I am writing about this now.
From the Mind of Miyagi
The amazing relationship of alignment (power) and involvement (force): Most of our relationships are merely involvement, where we keep our own self-gain at the forefront, and form relationships that are mutually beneficial. We play a role to get something. Examples are doctor/practice member, marriage, parenting, friends, and family. Are we familiar strangers or truly aligned people? Sadly, deep down inside, you already know the answer. We are still very much individuals, and we resist merging or forming sacred relationships. We get involved only for gain, acquisition, prestige, approval, or the avoidance of guilt or shame. Please be sure to reflect hard on this, as your ego has already dismissed this concept.
With alignment, there is an essence or sacredness to serving the other person’s highest good without being asked. By serving the other person, we are actually serving ourselves. Think of marriage (especially at the beginning), parenting, welcoming a pet into your home, etc. With alignment, you are in the power bandwidth; with involvement, you are constantly using up force. Force is expensive, exhausts itself, and puts you and the other person at odds. One person wins, and the other loses. This is the typical competitive programming drilled into our heads since childhood.
As a doctor/healer, you are so much more powerful when you come from alignment, rather than merely involvement. People can sense when you are involved, rather than aligned. They begin to trust and let down their protective, stubborn guards that prevent new ideas or healing from taking root. Attempting to help people through involvement is futile, frustrating, and reduces healing every time. It’s okay for superficial encounters, but when the chips are down, it's alignment or bust.
It definitely takes more skill and patience to be in alignment, but it’s worth it for both you and them.
Miracle Training
If you dare to move past the academic logjam of cause and effect, you will enter a different dimension that is so much more powerful and engaging than simply finding a scapegoat or someone to blame. It seems that whenever someone is ‘up against it’, everyone will chime in with their unfounded, asinine opinion on why this is so. The same applies to invisible diseases like apathy, PTSD, concussions, depression, addiction, giving up on life, etc. More causality won’t cut it. Supplying reasons why a person is obese is cruel and narrow-minded.
All chronic, as well as life and death illnesses, have invisible, yet traceable determinants if you can stay away from the oversimplified, dumbed-down reason of the last generation. It simply is not adequate. Asking technology, drugs, and surgery to address these determinants is pedestrian, at best. Think of our returning war veterans, and you will see this point very clearly. The best and most expensive treatment the government has is woefully inadequate. 6500 military member suicide deaths per year speak for themselves. It’s not from a lack of caring or resources; it's simply an inefficient, outdated model that doesn’t produce results. The same thinking that created the problem cannot solve the problem. There has to be a profound change in consciousness levels or resonance for the solution to emerge.
Whenever I start with a new person, I have to consciously observe them rather than judge them. It takes time and concerted effort to enter, merge, and align with a person, rather than attempting to fix them with simple solutions to complex problems. Forcing your agenda on them, even if it’s for their health, is seen by the ego as life-threatening. You need lots of experience and a wide range of tools in your toolbox to reach these hopeless cases. Last weekend, while handing out food to the homeless, I was stricken by a wave of intense sadness and had to fight back the tears and compose myself in minus-11-degree weather. When I looked around, I saw a once-in-a-lifetime DC (that probably hasn’t realized it yet) who was stricken by the intensity of seeing human life in peril. No words were necessary between us.
Reaching people who have their backs against the wall is so rewarding. There is such a feeling of accomplishment. To the world of appearance, the incurable, difficult cases are seen as “just the way it is”: collateral damage, deaths by drugs, etc. To people who can actually make a difference, helping is a way of life. Stop comparing yourself to celebrities, pro athletes, and entertainment people, and understand you are the only one who can actually increase the quality of health and life. Financial fitness, of course, comes along with helping people, but it’s not the only measure. Have both, not either or.
