Through working with Satyen and his team of mentors, I have finally found the missing piece to my acupuncture practice. I use the Rapid Coherence Integration techniques as an adjunct to my clinical work and am now expanding my business to see patients online - widening my potential reach. With two young kids, I love the flexibility that seeing patients online offers. The internet is my new work frontier, and I see it as a great opportunity to help more people.
All my life, people have shared their secrets with me. This is an honor, but also a responsibility. And my natural tendency is to want to help people and fix their problems... ease their pain, relieve their stress, mend their broken heart, heal their trauma, alleviate their grief, etc.
We often talk about 'holistic health care' - helping people with their physical, mental, and emotional health needs. And acupuncture/ Traditional Chinese Medicine has its roots in treating the underlying cause of problems. But up until now, I have been scratching away on the surface. So after 20 years of seeing patients, I can finally say with confidence that I can help people in a deep and profound way.
A recent example is a new patient with neck and shoulder pain which started in the 1990s but flared two years ago when she was nursing her husband with cancer. When he died, the pain was excruciating for her and triggered migraines. The pain is now constant, with sporadic flares and the constant threat of a migraine... After using an Rapid Coherence Integration process to resolve the intense feeling of grief and integrate it with her desire for happiness, she said, 'It's like the good and the bad were put into a washing machine with some detergent thrown in, and put on a super fast spin cycle, then it all drained out and I was just left with this clean, empty space inside.' It took 20 minutes to reach this calm and accepting place. She also referred me to two new patients within a day of her treatment.
So by facilitating powerful emotional shifts in people, I get the most wonderful sense of achievement or job satisfaction. It has also resulted in an exponential increase in patient referrals; in one week, I saw five new patients, something unheard of in my quiet part-time practice.
I love being more confident in all aspects of my work. I feel like I can be authentic and provide a space for people to talk honestly and expose the most vulnerable aspects of themselves - and I now have the tools to help them transition to a place where they are lighter and happier. The key word here is 'facilitate' - I no longer feel responsible; my role is to simply help them find the happiness within.
Satyen was a mystery to me when I first met him online after an introduction by a colleague last year. He is warm and engaging and so likeable that I was worried it might have been a trick - a very well-rehearsed way to lure people in. That was my skeptical self thinking that it was too good to be true, all of this talk of healing oneself and helping others... But Satyen is the real deal.
He is extremely generous with his time, always making himself available to meet on Skype, coach groups through training sessions in live webinars and answer queries in the Facebook group - with a response time so quick that makes me wonder whether he ever sleeps!?
He genuinely enjoys nurturing people through their personal growth as well as offering the tools to be able to help others. And by being such an enigmatic leader, he attracts people who are warm, kind and generous. So the Coherence Institute support group is made of people like you and me - looking for ways that we can grow and evolve and make the world a better place, one person at a time.
