Face The Fear
Recently, while listening to my friend Lance Heisler with Lampe Law in Northfield Minnesota, he stated “we are all afraid of the things we don’t understand.” At the time Lance was sharing with a BNI business group we’re involved with that in thirty two years of working in the legal system, he’s come to see that most of the fear generated about the legal process is based in misinformation and as a result is completely unnecessary if not harmful. As a natural consequence, Lance spends a great deal of time and energy nurturing confidence in his clients as he guides them through the legal system; no doubt a reason why he’s so successful.
I can empathize very much with Lance as I find the same to be true about the ‘health care’ system. It’s a lack of understanding that eventually leads to the fear, sometimes overwhelming fear, I often see in practice members who come to me for help. In many cases, they’ve experienced thousands of dollars worth of testing and multiple doctor visits and yet they still don’t understand “what’s wrong.” This is where my work, much as it is with Lance, really begins.
Helping practice members discover how their body really works is the first step in unwinding the years of misinformation as it lays the groundwork for what questions you should ask in order to help the body heal. If your doctor believes your body is weak and in need of outside intervention, he will ask “what do you have and how can we get rid of it?” thus the reason for so many tests and the use of drugs or surgery as a solution. If your doctor believes that the power that made your body heals your body through a clear neurological connection, then he will ask “what are you toxic or deficient in and how can we help increase what the body needs to heal?” Whether we’re conscious of it or not, most of us are simply asking the wrong questions and were we willing to face the fear, we would find that health is far easier to nurture than disease is to destroy.
