Ending the War at Home

June 24, 2014 By Don Ka'imi Pilipovich

What if there was a war overseas and you signed up to serve your country and then you got there you were told you could never go home from the war? That would be cruel, inhuman, unjust and unfair. For many veterans, that is exactly what happens. Their body comes home, but their nervous system stays at war. It’s like never really coming home. It’s hard to re-adapt to normal life, to come out of fight or flight mode, to feel safe, secure and able to focus on relationships, getting a job, and building a life when your nervous system believes you are still at war. For some the journey back home is only terrifically hard. Unfortunately, for too many it seems impossible and they give up on life when everything they try fails.

The need to help veterans make this transition is huge, and I’m very honored to have been invited to present Accunect Connect for the veterans community. Accunect is a very powerful tool for releasing deep emotional trauma and balancing the bodymind on all levels to come back to stability and health and the potential to help veterans with Accunect is exciting.  The course is being organized by Pathways for Veterans, a national organization that helps veterans to heal and to reconstruct their lives. They have a powerful vision of hope for veterans by helping them find their path to health and wholeness through creative programs in many areas.

I’ve worked with some veterans in the past and I know this work can help. Accunect was developed to address the root causes of disease – which in traditional Chinese Medicine is mostly emotional trauma. Over my many years in practice I’ve really seen that underneath the most difficult physical and psychological problems is deeply held trauma. Often this is in the form of abuse or other severe emotional trauma from childhood. Since children don’t have the tools and maturity to deal with these traumas, they just become imprinted on the nervous system. The patterns of stress underlying disease aren’t conscious choices, they are reactions coming from deep within the nervous system.  For veterans, the stress and trauma comes in adulthood, but it is so intense and so unrelenting that it makes a deep and lasting impact on their psyche and their nervous system.

These kinds of stress are difficult to address using talk therapy for that reason. To get powerful shifts in these patterned responses you need to balance the whole bodymind to change the automatic responses – no one decides to jump at a sudden noise, it’s a nervous system reaction. You have to balance the nervous system, as well as the acupuncture meridian system in order to break the cycle.

It’s not just me that gets results with mental and emotional issues – the system works for everyone. Here’s a testimonial from Accunect student Gary Niki about his results using Accunect shortly after taking the class to help a client battling depression:

“Recently, during a bout of depression, I met with Gary Niki, who performed a procedure called Accunect Connect on me, a process in which one identifies “what is ready to shift” and then, through simple movements, helps that shift occur. Gary then showed me how to perform the procedure on myself. The results were amazing. Within about a minute of performing the movements, I felt something ripple free from my heart center. I continued to perform the movements and, as I did so, laughter repeatedly bubbled up. What an amazing shift from the feelings of despair and irritability I had been experiencing before beginning this process–and so fast. In just minutes I felt much lighter and happier. I can’t thank Gary enough to introducing me to this incredibly simple yet profoundly effective technology.”

Why Ancient Wisdom?

June 4, 2014 By Don Ka'imi Pilipovich

I’ve been teaching my short course in Chinese Medicine for almost seven years now. First as Chinese Medicine for Bodytalk Practitioners, and then redesigned for everyone as Accunect Ancient Wisdom.  With the redesign, the material is even simpler to apply in practice. More importantly, I made much more practice time so that people could experience a balancing  on each meridian by the end of the course – we end up balancing everything from head to toes during the course.  This makes it more transformational than before.

I originally thought of it as a really powerful tool for practitioners – you gain enough understanding in three days to be able to use the extensive handout pages using muscle checking. The results are pretty cool – I get tons of feedback from students with no prior training in Chinese Medicine that their clients really relate to the balancings that come up. And I get professional acupuncturists taking the course who tell me that it helps them to think outside the box and adds ease and power to their sessions.

I’m pretty proud of how well the course works as a professional development tool. But it’s not the most important aspect of the course.

The most important reason I teach the course is that it brings hope. Once you have a basic understanding of Chinese Medicine a lot of things seem more possible. Lots of conditions that are considered difficult or incurable in western medicine are simple energy imbalances in Chinese Medicine.

For example, asthma is a difficult condition in western medicine, relatively simple in Chinese Medicine. In fact, to get acupuncture needles as medical devices, the acupuncture association decided to pick asthma as a test case – because asthma is easy: you can get much better results with asthma using Chinese Medicine than with western medicine.

Atrial fibrillation is a difficult heart condition with no good treatment in western medicine.  In Chinese Medicine it isn’t a heart condition – rather it is an imbalance between the Kidney meridian and the Heart meridian. This shift in perspective makes it treatable.

For practitioners, having a deeper understanding of what is possible increases confidence and enthusiasm, which is then shared with the client energetically, thereby increasing results. For everyone, gaining insight into what is possible helps give hope – for yourself or for a family member or loved one. This is invaluable.

The course also really helps to explain the mind-body-spirit connections in a very tangible way.  And experiencing those connections during the practice sessions during the course makes it a felt experience.

I hope you can join me sometime for this weekend of transformation, inspiration, with a lot of effortless learning and balancing thrown in for good measure.
