This is a 4 minute micro episode from a planning conversation Dr Yvonne Farrell and I recently had regarding our upcoming Heart of the Eight Extraordinary Vessels Training at Breitenbush Hotspring March 28th - April 1st. We talking logistical, when Yvonne started dropping clinical pearls. I had to hit record. She talks about the difference between intent and agenda in various healing practices. Then we discuss how acupuncturists are often trained to fix people, crather than letting go of the agenda and embracing the role of witness. By providing information and empowering patients, practitioners can help individuals take back their sovereignty and heal themselves. The focus shifts from fixing brokenness to developing a deeper relationship with oneself and cultivating compassion. Yvonne closes the 3 minute talk with how being human entails both pain and bliss, and through self-awareness and embracing the journey, individuals can create a more therapeutic environment for themselves and others.
