It’s official. I am a witch…at least this is what one of my clients called me today. Not in an offensive, but loving way. And yes, I love her, too. This got me thinking.
What if there was a way ‒ simple, holistic, non-evasive, non-surgical ‒ that would change a person’s state so profoundly that they actually believed you were a witch with SUPERPOWERS?
What if?
Well, good news. You don’t need a witch to shift from a state of pain where you are shut down physically, emotionally, spiritually, and often financially into a state of power. A state where you feel in control, you have choices and options, independence and more freedom. I am talking about huge shifts in any area of your life. You have the power inside of you. It may be hidden behind layers and layers to protect you from getting hurt, or from being seen as the powerful person you are.
What would this new state of Power be worth?
Can you even put a price on it?
What would it be worth to be potentially pain-free, having more range of motion, more evolved relationships, more income, or more impact?
What would the price be?
Today I worked with a long term client, Mr. W, who had suffered a stroke a few years back. I empowered him to make the Impossible Possible ‒ to walk again and live a vibrant life doing what he loves.
Today we also were joined by his wife, Mrs. W, who currently had a bad fall and a severe concussion. See, after the doctors didn’t find anything life-threatening ‒ never mind the fact that one centimeter made the difference of potentially being dead or paralysed, in the doctor’s words ‒ she joined us for today’s session. It felt safe. It was a safe place to be.
Btw, the best remedy for recovery from a concussion is rest, sleep, hydration.
So what did I do to quieten her cns (central nervous system) which was fighting the trauma? What did I do?
Btw, what I did today is the exact approach I use in a business environment as well.:-)
Number 1: Work as far away as possible with attention to the most affected area. Gentle moves of… her feet. See, you want to be as far away from the point of injury or pain. Look at the whole person. Don’t be myopic. Look at the whole picture.
Number 2: Go slow, make tiny micro-moves, and lots of “rest” between the moves. It's time for the CNS to download and create new pathways. You may have heard me say this before in one of my training or broadcasts ‒ the magic happens between the moves, in the pause.
Number 3: Specific breathing exercises. There is not one “correct” way of breathing, there are variations of a core breathing pattern depending on what you want to achieve. Breathing changes ‒ flat, deep, diaphragmatic, right?
Number 4: Adding some “witchcraft” based on NLP, my own research and experience, imagination, Feldenkrais, energy work and some other “secrets” a true witch would never reveal :-) No physical touch was required.
Number 5: “Renate, you are a witch. Your voice takes me on a journey to areas I thought were impossible to get to,...I feel so different like…”
Why am I telling you this story instead of giving you a lecture of the Power of the Mind and the “right” MOVES for the situation at hand? Why?
Because I am not sharing theory ‒ you can look it up in a dictionary or search on the internet. I am sharing and teaching only the things that work for me and the people who accept me as their teacher, seifu, mentor. I only teach the things I know, not what someone else knows.
I am not a witch, I am the conduit probing and asking the right questions to take a person from where they are to where they want to be. I am the bridge so to speak. Or the witch for some.
Does this approach work for everyone?
Yes.
Yes, it does…
IF the person is willing to empty their cup, in the words of the late Bruce LEE.
IF the person is accepting me as a mentor knowing that I will never hurt them.
IF the person trusts me.
IF the person connects with me as I have done what they are about to do.
This is what a good, no, a great mentor does. I am not saying this to brag. It’s a fact that teaching something in theory is one thing, it’s good and often necessary. Letting people experience what’s possible is a whole new level.
No witchcraft is necessary.
YOU do the work which is chunked down, simple, doable, holistic, sustainable. You get on this life journey and your mentor guides you, saving you the 20-30 year learning curve, potentially.
I don’t mind being called a witch if I could empower someone to reach new places they never thought possible ‒ more active lifestyle, better leadership, more engaged relationships, more money, better health, diminished pain, more vitality, potentially.
