In the midst of High Tech medical care, patient participation becomes very important. As technology advances to more subtle levels; the quality experience needed to support healing has to be found within the patient.
That used to be called bedside manners and was an important part of a doctor’s care.
Now instead of only looking outside for help, a patient has to look within and participate using their powerful inner resources. The technology has definitely advanced and so has the demand for patient participation.
It is not enough for the patient to be intelligent about the care they receive in our modern world; to provide the quality the doctors of the past perfected called bedside manners, they have to connect to the Wisdom of their Body. At that depth the quality comfort doctor’s had the time to share is found within the patient.
Modern medicine has evolved to care for each patient on such a subtle level; the patient has to evolve to work with the doctor. In the past relying on reason was the right thing to do. In today’s world, being reasonable rest one’s awareness on the thinking level which ignores their powerful inner resources.
Those resources exist beyond thinking and a major role the patient plays is to access them to work with the doctor’s modern medicine. The doctor’s role brings High Technology to healing and the patient’s role is to bring the Wisdom of the Body so they work with High Technology from that depth.
That partnership brings the best of both the patient and modern medicine together into a strong approach to healing. Can you play a conscious role in that partnership?
This doesn't mean you can not be informed about your treatment, that is very important. What ever you think will never be as beneficial as the Wisdom of your Body; that is your greatest contribution. Go to http://lifeskillsinc.com to learn about The Life Skills Approach & download a free e-book.
