Hospital patient undergoing surgery recounts how Hero Soul provided strength, inspiration, and hope during recovery

“I used to look in the mirror and only have time to take a quick glance to ensure that I looked acceptable for a full day ahead of me. At 32, I am a mother of two and a wife of 8 years. I work full time and after putting in a days worth of work, I come home to my next full time job. Dinner, clean up, soccer practice, dance class, homework, baths, laundry I have a fully hands-on devoted husband that equally shares in the daily responsibilities but even then it is still so busy at times.

I recently ruptured my Achilles tendon. I needed to have surgery and knew that my recovery period would take several months. Anxious the morning before surgery I began reading, “Psychology of the Hero Soul.” It was given to me to read by a friend at work. I began reading the book and it had a calming affect on me. I knew I had to face my fears and deal with my reality. The night after surgery I had trouble sleeping so I continued to read “Psychology of the Hero Soul.” When I finished, it rejuvenated my outlook on life.

After reading this book I can now look in the mirror and see so much more of myself. I can surpass my physical “self” and look beyond to my mind, soul, and spirit. I have forgotten about my passions, ambitions, and the true person that I am. I have neglected what it is that I want to be remembered for in life and what I want to pass down to my children. I have learned that I need to enjoy the moment because life is passing by quickly. I also need to take the time to accomplish my goals in life and not say that I just don’t have time. I have to take actions to achieve my dreams.

I have learned that I need to maintain my soul and spirit by cleansing it from stresses, jealousies, and overall negative energy. Once the mind is cleansed it can be replenished with love, tranquility, passions, and dreams. With a positive outlook anything is possible.

I believe that “Psychology of the Hero Soul” is a well-written book that provided me with many examples of people whose extreme focus, determination and good virtues resulted in greatness. I was pleasantly surprised by the analysis of Perseus in the book. The Clash of the Titans has been one of my all time favorite movies as a child and Greek mythology has always fascinated me.

I have been so inspired to make myself a better person in every aspect of my life, as a mother, wife, co-worker, friend, daughter, and sister. During my recovery period this book has provided me with “food for thought,” tools to make my dreams a reality and enable me to keep a positive attitude during my healing process.” - Krupali Prevete

It is by definition the duty of a physician to be there to look after one’s patients, often to the detriment of one’s own personal health and well-being. Everyone including the physician themselves unquestioningly subscribes to this unspoken rule.

It’s no wonder that physicians are faced with ever increasing rates of burnout and the medical profession is falling behind in its subscribed role as the care taker of others.

Doesn’t it seem a bit odd that when physicians subscribe to such an unsustainable rule they make themselves and ultimately their profession unsustainable? In other words they are actually putting their patients at risk!

So what is to be done with this conundrum?

Well the answer may lie in answering the question: “What is the true meaning of helping someone maintain their health?”

I’m not sure that such a question has ever really been asked. If it had I think that the answer would not only provide patients with an improved quality of life, it would also improve the lives of physicians and reduce the overall budget that governments and other institutions spend on healthcare today.

Costs would necessarily decrease because by offering “true help”, whatever that means, the efficiency of healthcare delivery will rise. So what does it mean to provide “true help” to one’s patients?

Well in order to answer this question I am suggesting that we take a close look at the “selfless altruism” model that most physicians now subscribe to. This model dictates that the health of the patient is the sole responsibility of the physician and that he/she is not only expected to bear this but that this is to be considered an act of virtuosity or kindness.

So is the “selfless altruism” approach actually “helping” the patient? When you convince someone that they are not responsible for the care of their own mind and body and they then willingly give up this right what have you actually done?

For one, you have just taken away their power to be in control of their destiny. You have also made them helplessly dependent on you. Now imagine having to take responsibility for a patient load of say 5000 helplessly dependent individuals. How does that make you feel? How does that make them feel? Well the answer to the latter is clear: helplessly dependent.

And you? Are you feeling overburdened, overwhelmed, a great sense of heaviness, like your vital life energy has just been drained from your body, and like you no longer have time to have a life of your own?

What does this “energy drain” represent? Well if you look at it closely I think you will agree that, apart from feeling like you are dying, it represents your inner wisdom telling you that there is something wrong with this picture.

Now let’s suppose you decided, for whatever reason, to give back the responsibility and the power for self care back to each and everyone of your patients. Imagine also that by doing so you have reclaimed responsibility for your own self care, because that is what it means to do the former. Imagine that it becomes your role to simply remind others that it is “their” responsibility to be in charge of their health simply making self respecting choices in your own

How are you feeling now? If you are feeling lighter, more peaceful, relieved, free, more energized, contented, and more joyful then again that is your inner wisdom telling you that something is right.

So how can you make such a dramatic transformation occur in your life and in the lives of your patients?

In order to do so it becomes necessary to address all of the toxic, limiting, conditioned negative beliefs that you have stored inside of you. The very beliefs that you structured your life and your practice on and which are killing you and your patients.

There is now a modality called the Mind Resonance Process(TM) (MRP) that allows you to do this quickly, easily and with powerful results. If you’d like to experience a short interactive audio clip of MRP kindly visit the web link below where you can download it free.
