Review for The Connection Practice, San Jose, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I am a Japanese Traditional Medicine Practitioner knowing all the diseases are caused by the stress we can not release or reduce. We have so much stress in every day life, such as human relationship, economic hardship, natural disaster, political or religious division, violence, wars and list goes on.

Stress can take someone's life. It is my mission to help people live a healthy life.

Connection Practice reduces stress quickly and effectively in every challenge you face in daily life. The synergy of empathy and insight through coherence works each time I face small or big challenges. I am so fortunate I met Rita Marie in 2006, learned the Connection Practice in 2007, and finally have became a trainer in 2014. Since then, I learned to manage stress efficiently and help others to do the same including my medical clients.

On Aug 8, 2023, Maui Wildfire took hundreds of lives with so many people still missing today including many children in Lahaina. I felt shocked, sad, helpless, powerless and got depressed. I became sick from helplessness for a week (spleen inflammation).

With daily practice of Coherence, which is one of Connection Practice's key components, I was able to recover from it and finally started doing what I could. First, I bought a ribbon broach that is supporting a Japanese family who lost home in Lahaina. This small action led me to organize fundraising events. So far, I organized an online event and ZUMBA lesson to help a family in Lahaina, and able to raise $1700 so far.

If I did not know Connection Practice, I would have been down for a longer time. I still feel sad each time I know the loss of lives from disasters and wars, but I am connecting to the energy of compassion and love, and I know there is something I can do.

I am so grateful I know the practice and share it with others who want to learn. I am willing to pass this gift to all who come across my life.
