Mr. Miyagi Training Is On November 8th
Plan to attend the next training. There will be a mixture of ah-ha moments, practicality of using technique, new concepts, and know-how for the next patients you will see, laughter, and the TNR community, as well as some tears of relief.
Here are some snippets from The Tao of TNR Training testimonials:
“Thank you for the Tao of TNR training. It hits home for sheltering and truth to be able to heal ourselves and others and continue on our path… Also the training illuminated what we need to continue to keep working on to become the best we can be.”
“Thank you Dr. Kevin for bringing the invisible limitations that affect all aspects of my life into light. When they are invisible it feels powerless to change time. Through the Tao of TNR it shines a light on the unknown sabotage that we are doing to ourselves and allows us to see the power we have to change it. The Tao of TNR shows the mindset, the steps, the resonation and the discipline it takes in order to make lasting change in our/my life.”
“Thank you for saying “Not on my watch.” Thank you for creating a container giving myself and others the opportunity to do the inner work to clear and dissolve the layers blocking the authentic self. The price you are willing to pay is overwhelming. Your devotion to human kind I cannot fathom. Thank you for standing for something so I might take one step closer.”
“This one day intensive with Dr. Kevin and his TNR trainees is a seminar of truth. It is an unveiling of all the ways we as practitioners lie to ourselves.”
“TNR seminars are very personal. Dr. Kevin speaks to each of us as he speaks to the group. He doesn’t shy away from the ditty-gritty and he doesn’t mince words. He speaks with truth and compassion to inspire us to be brave to live our life’s purpose.”
“Dr. Kevin has a special way of bringing tough topics and concepts into focus and creating a relevance to each student so we can understand, feel, and integrate the lesson. The passion he brought to this particular training as well as the unique call to actions artfully weaved for each person around the table was a demonstration of the thought, care and mastery he brings to his work and our lives.”
“The wisdom and healing received and given at the TNR Trainings is not only unparalleled but paramount to being successful, on level of the extra mile, above the line.”
Christmas on the Reservation Update
Kenny is putting the finishing touches on the logistics of yet another Christmas on the Reservation. I expect to hear from him within the next week with the plans. The dates will be December 11th and 12th, with travel dates being December 10th and 13th. It’s not too early to hook some large tunas ($$$) to help out with donations. If you have a VIP person who travels well, invite them to experience all the fun!
From the Mind of Miyagi
Becoming brave: reality check or gut check? How are kids supposed to learn about health? No, not about more diseases, sickness, or suffering, but the path of health. Is the path to health cancer and disease checks? We have moved so far away from health that it’s now almost unrecognizable. Will kids learn about health from their parents? Will they learn about it at school or college? It is the most essential subject in the world, and it’s not on the menu or curriculum.
Allowing your people to push you around about sensitive disease subjects is a question in the making. Are you one of those who will side-shuffle, jive, and shuck your way through life? You know, stand for nothing and be good for nothing except making this month’s overhead with room to spare for the new boat. You don’t have to attempt to foist your opinion on anybody. You don’t have to respond to ignorance, public consensus, or political agendas. Are they coming to a leader who is a source of health or just a technician? You are the only one who communicates to people how you wish to be treated.
Do you put up with the typical nonsense of missed appointments, calling you by your first name and not doctor, no payment, and quitting care if somebody (insurance/government) doesn’t pay for it for them? Do you bargain with people, people please, and agree with your practice members’ recommendations instead of your own? People tend to coast until they are in the presence of a leader who holds them to higher standards. I would get calls from area DCs who heard their people were coming to me. They would say how bad the patient was and to watch out for them because they won’t pay, they’ll take up your time, etc. I didn’t find this to be true. They acted just fine in my office.
By not asking for ‘best efforts’ from your people, you start accepting ‘non-best efforts’ from all of those around you. You begin accepting excuses like "I’m busy," "Does insurance cover it?" and "Money is tight." You will even see it in your animals, as they can sense the power loss in you. A past Miracle Training person had remarked that his dog was biting him and one of his kids. He was perplexed as he fed the dog the best food, had him groomed regularly, and so on. I suggested that his dog might tolerate him, but there was no respect. After he graduated from MT, the dog’s behavior miraculously improved. Having high standards in our world is often attacked, made fun of, and not highly valued. Yet it’s the ingredient that makes all the difference.
Miracle Training
Time and time again, the theme is rescue me, fix me, or save me. What is usually not even considered is the part the client/patient plays in their own healing. The whispered white elephant in the room is that your best therapeutics are not enough without the best effort from the client/patient. It’s where the doctor circle and the practice member circle overlap: the sacred relationship, the subtle body, the third ear, etc. Becoming honest, more authentic, and accepting responsibility means breaking through the formidable, armor-protected vault of the ego. The price paid is PAIN, characterized by not having all the answers, confusion, and a desire for an easier and less expensive way out. You must possess the training, bravery, and ability to override all the advice you are receiving from your internal dialogue, emotions, history, the small self, etc. It won’t help under any circumstances with healing.
The facial expressions the client/patient makes when they turn the corner can’t be put into words. There is no face like it. It is a mixture of radiance, smile, and it’s happened! It’s unmistakable; it can’t be faked, bought, conferred, or traded for. The ancients describe it as when the dam breaks. If you think it's similar to recovering from a sprain or a crack, you’ve never seen it. It bonds you to the person for a lifetime. You may not see that person for a long time or ever again, and yet, there is an actual physiological change in body sensations when they think of you or meet you years later in person. Don’t make your superficial cases walk the plank; instead, look for DCME cases/Level 2 for more of everything you want in life.
DCME Confidential
Question 1: My mother found out that I am taking care of a child with a fairly difficult disease. She knows this person in town. She wants me to cease immediately. She recommended that I leave these kinds of cases to real doctors. What are your thoughts?
Answer: Is it too late to get a new mother? Please tell me that she doesn’t work in your office.
Question 2: My sister has a really sick kid. I have suggested many times that I can help him. She laughs and tells me it isn’t so bad. She has taken him to the ER multiple times. What else can I say to her?
Answer: Let this one go as she is not open to your kindness.
