Hey, it's Dr. Kim and I had a great question come up in the Be the Medicine program by one of the practitioners about when you're present seeing this other person that you're here to assist, and so much uncertainty comes up. Like, "Oh my gosh. What am I going to do for them? How can I help them? Is this going to be okay?" 
 I wanted to share this on a video because it's something that comes up for so many of us. Whether it's in our life with a family member, or a friend, or even if it's not within our practice, that this really helps a ton to allow this energy shift for ourselves and for the people that we're assisting. That is to really presence that space of the hopelessness, the despair, the doubt, the uncertainty that comes up within ourself. This comes up so often, especially when I was in my osteopathic practice and I'd see people who were in so much hopelessness and despair of like, "Oh my gosh I have this pain. Nothing's helped. I've tried everything." The doubt and fear that would come up. I would feel it as if it was my own. 
 Now what's happening is their energy they're in is stimulating those energies that are ready to release for me. I would just presence them and send that space of love. "I love you. It's okay," and not buy into it but actually just compassionately witness it to allow the energy to move. "It's okay I'm feeling this energy. It's okay I have this hopelessness. It doesn't really mean anything and I don't need to try to scramble to figure it out. I can just presence this and allow it to shift." Inevitably what would happen is that would release for me, and then I could be in a space of clarity to invite that person into a higher space as well, where they could allow that pain to release so they could embrace and receive the treatment from me in a way that really made a huge difference. 
 That was a really great question because so much the uncertainty makes us think, 'Do I need to do things differently? Do I need to learn something else? Do I need to do this and that?' We don't actually need to buy into it at all. We can actually just observe it compassionately as the energy that it is that's here to move. Usually when we bring our presence to the energy of hopelessness, fear, despair, those energies will move very quickly and very fluidly. Without expectation, just presencing that space, you'll find that what someone else has triggered within you will release for you. You can just presence them in their despair and their hopelessness. 
 It's the number one hardest thing for doctors and practitioners to do, is to witness someone else's pain and just allow them to have it. To witness someone else's pain and not go into your own contraction, not go into, "I can't let them have this. I have to fix it. I have to save them." You go into reactivity. To be able to do that has been one of the things that's assisted me so much in assisting others and making the biggest difference for them, that they've ever had in their life. Is that one thing is being willing to presence their pain and allow it so fully that all of that energy can release for myself and then for them. 
 That is the invitation I wanted to share with you. Sending my love. I'll see you soon.
