I would like to express deep gratitude to my early readers who provided invaluable feedback and encouragement on initial drafts: Jessica Samet, Sabine Karsenti, Donna Duseigne, Bianca Bayer, Coleen MacKinnon, Peter Gold, Scott Samet, Sitara Young, Mirella de Blasio, Mimi Bercovitch, Mimi Saine and Lise Higham. Even greater than this is my appreciation for your friendship and your love.
Thank you to Sabina Walser, Louise Harvie and Mary Shackelton for your deep friendship over the years and your encouragement as I discussed my early thoughts and plans for this book. And to Randi Samet and Arden Schneider, blood sister and chosen sister, who have been there since practically the beginning!
Enormous thanks go to my patients, from whom I have learned so much about what it means to show up every day with an open-hearted presence. Your trust and confidence in me has helped me grow as a person and as a doctor.
Thank you as well to my editor Melissa Kirk, Words to Honey, for your skill in restructuring, problem solving, improving, and encouraging me to keep honing my thoughts and words.
Finally, thank you to my family Andr, Zoe, Zach and Ben for believing in me and supporting me in this endeavor... and for your company on this great journey.
1. Sway Method:
First, I define for myself that if the statement is true I will sway forward and if the statement is false, I will sway backward. Then, standing with my feet slightly apart, chin level and eyes looking down, I say aloud a statement I know to be true my name is Lisa. I wait and see that I sway forward. Then I tell a lie my name is Henry and wait to see that I sway backward. If so, I am well-calibrated for my session and ready to test my subconscious beliefs.
2. Finger Pull:
Sitting comfortably, I make a circle with my thumb and ring finger. With my other hand, I place the fingertips of my thumb and index finger together. I then insert this part way into my finger circle. I then say a truth my name is Lisa and separate my thumb-index fingers, trying to pull apart the circle. At the same time, I try to resist and keep the circle closed. If I say a truth, something I believe, the circle will stay strong and closed against my effort. If the phrase, however, is untrue, not something I believe, I will easily be able to open the circle as it will be weak against my effort to pull it apart.
3. Pointer as Shoulder:
I place my open hand, palm down on my sternum, right below my neck. With that same hand, I raise my index finger up off my chest an inch or so. I say a true statement, and then with the index finger of my other hand, gently try to press down on my raised index finger. If the phrase is true, my raised finger should stay strong and elevated against my pressure. If the phrase is false, the raised index will weaken and be easily pushed down to my chest with my other finger.
