One of the greatest presents you can give patients is being fully 100% present.
The present is when your intention is the most powerful.
The present is when patients manifest in your practice.
The present is when you deliver your intervention.
The present is the only moment that is real--the past is merely a memory and the future resides in our imagination.
What diminishes your impact by distracting you from being present with patients? Eavesdropping in on a front desk conversation? Worrying about your bills? Computing your income from the day’s patient volume? Regrets about something you should have said or done?
Legendary healers are keenly aware of the importance of being present. More presence gives your listening and your adjusting more horsepower. It’s a self-discipline that the busiest practitioners consciously practice. It’s a characteristic that patients interpret as confidence, certainty and a loyality-producing hopefulness. It’s the technique of techniques.
