Resonance Repatterning Newsletter

January 2010 Vol.V, No.1

First, and most important, Happy New Year!

Along with the terrible suffering in Haiti, we are also seeing that this small country -- so long ravished by pain, suffering and death caused by dictators as well as tornados -- has now become a focal point of compassion, love and support from people round the world. If every thought counts toward healing ourselves and our world, then this extraordinary outpouring of love must also be bringing unimaginable benefits, not only for the people of Haiti in their time of need, but to all people who are suffering from trauma, hunger and the loss of their homes. Resonance Repatterning practitioners are helping in their own way through sessions, and our World Peace session volonteers through the Repatterning Practitioner Association.

Friend Dr. Mousson Pierre, MD, a Haitian whose non-profit organization has been helping her country since 1985, shares that her organization is busing survivors out of Port-au-Prince and providing them with medical and other help. You can visit her website at: http://www.OREworld.org/

In Thoughts from Chloe, I would like to share some life-saving information from Doug Copp, Rescue Chief and Disaster Manager of American Rescue Team International -- the world's most experienced rescue team -- and for two years Doug Copp was also the United Nations expert in Disaster Mitigation. All of us, and those you know, need the information he provides.

In News and Celebration I'll be sharing two bits of great news: Carol Cannon's article on Resonance Repatterning has just been published in The Energy Field -- the official quarterly journal for Energy Psychology. Also some important work done by Didac Mancera from Barcelona, Spain: a small but successful study with HIV that may inspire you to replicate what he has done.

Hints for Health: we'll talk about the power of Nordic Walking!

Our eStore has some new modalities: the wonderful Cricket CD, and the amazing two-hour video on the power of bouncing and...Nordic walking sticks.

As always -- enjoy and learn: it's good for your brain and good for your health!

A singer who supports a Haitian school shared his sorrow that every child and teacher in that school was killed in the January earthquake in Haiti.

It is difficult if not impossible for us to imagine what it must be like facing the terror of such a happening, and the sorrow that follows. Even the fear experienced over one hundred miles away from the epi-center, where the floor on which a friend was standing was undulating, is hard to conceive.

But Doug Copp, Rescue Chief and Disaster Manager of America Rescue Team International -- the world's most experienced rescue team -- looks at earthquakes from another point of view: how lives can be saved through what he calls 'the triangle of life.' Doug, who has worked with rescue teams from 60 countries, has crawled inside 875 collapsed buildings and has worked at every major disaster in the world since 1985, has experienced what he is talking about.

None of us knows when or if we may be involved in an earthquake; or if our friends and their children may be. But the simple information Doug shares could be life-saving for many, if we pass it on to friends, schools, hospitals, hotels, our places of work and our clients:

The first life-saver is: AVOID GETTING UNDER FURNITURE, standing under doorways, escaping through stairwells or staying inside a car. That's right: avoid this. The weight of ceilings and falling material crushes the object and the person underneath it; stairs collapse before the building does. Doug says that in one school room all the children were under their desks, as they had been told, and they all died. He has seen this scenario over and over, and proved it through simulations.

So where is the place of safety -- and what is the 'triangle of life'?

THE TRIANGLE OF LIFE is next to furniture -- a bed, sofa, large chair -- or next to a car, or next to the outside wall of a building. When material falls on something and crushes it, it leaves a space or a void: a triangle of life next to the large object. Doug Copp says that when you watch falling buildings on TV or film, you will see these triangles of life everywhere. I even remember as a child driving past the bombed out buildings still standing after the London blitz, and noticing the walls that remained and the remnants of the floor next to the wall -- a triangle of life.

Babies, cats and dogs instinctively curl up in a fetal position -- and if in a triangle of life are often saved. The fetal position also simulates the shape of the triangle of life that is found next to large objects.

Thank you to Resonance Repatterning practitioner Barbara King MD from the UK for sending Doug Copp's article to me. For all of us, let's keep focusing whatever love, compassion and support we can to all those in need, and pass on the practical information that Doug Copp has shared.

Just asking ourselves "What quality or strength would I need in a similar situation?" and doing a session so we resonate with that quality, and resonate with others resonating with it also -- who knows what help this may bring. I did this for resonating with calmness, remembering the Divine, being of service, and clear thinking; and for resonating with the people in Haiti also resonating with the same. It felt good shifting my thinking into something constructive for myself and for the field. Later it occurred to me that those who died in such large numbers must inevitably have left an atmosphere of shock, anger and terror behind them. So whatever our religious background may be, we may find it helpful for ourselves and others, including Haiti, to be aware that all of us are impacted by the field and to make sure we resonate with the positive qualities we personally most need in this situation.

Wishing you all the best, and may we access our inner strengths in our own personal times of need - Chloe
