From the
urban business landscape to the exotic Peruvian jungle Patricia
Gilmore captures audiences while sharing powerful techniques for
feeling and being the very best.
As practitioner, international
speaker and CEO of PAWHA Patricia not only uses powerful techniques
she brings them to the rainforest.
*******INTERVIEW*******
Patricia
- I understand that you are an international speaker but what is it
that you actually speak about?
To answer your
question, what I do is I give people techniques to tap into their own
mental and physical energy so that they can operate at peak
performance.
That
sounds very interesting. I
must ask how do you do that?
I do that by showing
people how, without pills and potions, they can relieve themselves of
many uncomfortable symptoms that hinder them from reaching optimum
levels of achievement. I show them simple, easy to use techniques
that open up their brain centers to think and feel better and how to
utilize the power of their own mind to be more creative and
successful.
Specifically
how?
I practice and teach
both the uses of eastern acu-point therapies and western mind
science. I am board certified in both. I operate a private practice
outside of Boston and speak nationally and internationally often
blending the two together depending on my client's needs.
In the business arena
my focus is on using acu-points and brain/thought techniques to
combat the symptoms manifested by leading busy modern day lives. The
skills are not simply de-stress techniques, many are wake-em-up
“tricks of the trade” to keep performing through crunch-time
without going to the pharmacy or to Starbuck’s for a double
strength jumbo coffee.
Acu-techniques are so
powerful and yet so simple to use. They require no equipment, no
medications, no needles, and no tools. All you need is your hands
and the knowledge of how to use them. I give people the knowledge.
These techniques are so beneficial and completely no cost.
As CEO and founder of
the not-for-profit Pan American Whole Health Alliance, one of my
passions is bringing these techniques into poor rural areas
throughout the Americas. We are currently taking expedition teams
into the rainforest to teach the village women along the Amazon river
how to use these techniques to care better for themselves and their
families. These people have no shoes on their feet or walls on their
homes much less the access to western pharmaceuticals which often
just relieve a symptom rather than the cause of the problem. As I am
not fluent in Spanish and need to teach by demonstration and with the
help of a translator, these techniques truly must be simple to learn
and they are.
This is all outside of
my regular private practice and active speaking career. I am one of
those type A’s myself which makes me uniquely qualified to speak
and relate to those in the high-powered business world which
incidentally I once occupied myself. I have a tendency to go, go,
go. These techniques keep me shining even when jet-lagged, missing
luggage or after a several mile steamy jungle hike. I would have
burned myself out long ago if I did not have this knowledge. Now I
go like the Energizer Bunny and I still enjoy a fine filet and
full-bodied cabernet.
Fascinating.
These techniques that you share,are they new?
None of this is new to
the world nor is it "new age." It has been used in the
Eastern Hemisphere for centuries. It is the basis of the healthcare
system for 10's of millions of people. It just so happens those
millions of people are on the "other" side of the planet
and until recently we have not shared much information. The world is
now shrinking as the information age explodes. It has now become time
to bring the eastern knowledge over to the Western Hemisphere, to
join in a global knowledge network so that we might all reap the
benefits, both in health and in personal achievement.
Imagine relieving your
headache with a pressure point on your hand. It sounds fantastic but
it does work. It just isn't in our western repertoire. We have been
trained and taught to go to the pill vial for relief. The problem is
the drug must leave our body some way, through the liver, and can
cause damage along the way. No one thinks clearly and does a good job
when they hurt. In the past you had two choices. You could take a
pill or you could continue to be in pain and not think and perform at
optimum levels. Now you have a choice. You can learn to press your
points and not push your buttons.
Nice
way to put it. What other ways can your techniques increase
performance?
Actually I could speak
for hours (and do) on which points do what and why but let me give
you a quick example.
Have you ever had a
problem sleeping the night before an important early morning meeting?
You toss and turn unable to sleep, looking at the clock and saying to
yourself, "I HAVE to get to sleep or I won't perform well
tomorrow." Maybe you eventually break down and take a sleep
aid. Then what happens in the morning? You are groggy and dopey and
you don't perform well. I believe this is called a Catch-22. If you
had known where the points were to induce sleep then you could have
gotten to sleep safely and without a pill and the inevitable hangover
grog.
These are the types of
acu-points that I teach business people in the United States. Jungle
villagers tend not to have a problem sleeping. Their concerns are
more based in physical pain and digestion and/or respiratory problems
so I demonstrate different sets of points to meet their concerns just
as I listen to my audiences in the urban jungles of the US and tailor
programs specifically to address their unique needs.
Patricia, I really
want to thank you for talking with me today.
Before we end would you please list a few
other things that your techniques address?
Of course - the list is
long but here are a few:
You can activate your
brainpower with an easy to find point on your ear.
You can relieve nausea
and motion sickness with the same point that relieves indigestion
after one of those business dinners. It also can be used to quell
the anxiety that often comes before a presentation to a crowd. I
have used this one on others on the airplane to help them over the
anxiety experienced in take-off and landing.
You can wake up your body while sitting
still. There is a point that can get your cardio system pumping as
if you were working out. I call it the exhaustion point. This point
I show to everyone that has to sit in meetings without yawning.
There are points to
boost your mood by raising serotonin levels. When levels are raised
it also helps with pain relief and addictive behaviors such as
over-eating and smoking.
Especially helpful are
the points for sinus congestion. This is very important if you need
to fly. Speaking of flying, plane trips of which I now take many,
usually leave me with stiff shoulders and a tight neck. There are
points to get the rocks out and free up the motion once again.
I am kidded that I
could hold private practice in the air simply by walking up and down
the aisles of the plane taking cases. There are always stiff necks,
stuffed up heads, sore throats or coughing from the dry air, anxiety
and fear of flying, and more. But the one that is the joke in the
office is how I could make a small fortune in donations from all the
passengers using a simple pressure point that can calm a cranky
child. On an airplane that skill elevates me from passenger to
goddess level.
Wow - I am just
thinking how many different bottles of pills I would have to have to
relieve those aches and pains and other symptoms. That’s
wonderful. And all you need to do is to learn where the points are
and have a free hand?
Exactly. It’s simple
and it’s easy and you have the tools literally at your fingertips
because they are your fingertips.
How can people get
in contact with you for more information, your availability, your
rates, etc.?
My offices are in the
Boston and Providence areas and I travel and speak internationally.
I can be reached by
SKYPE.

Patricia, I can see
that you really know your stuff and your passion definitely shines
through. Certainly you wouldn’t be taking your techniques from the
boardroom to the jungle without an abundance of energy. Thank you so
much for speaking with us today. The best of wishes and please be
careful. Don’t go swimming with the piranha fish.
