Procovery Certificate of Empowerment

By: Kathleen Crowley*
* Adapted with gratitude from “Certificate of Empowerment” by Sandra Dodd

As bearer of this certificate you are no longer required to depend on the
advice of experts. You may step back and view the entire world—not just your
home, neighborhood or town, but the whole Earth—as a procovery-oriented
learning experience, a laboratory containing medicines, therapies,
strategies, sources of support, ways to heal and to grow, and ideas without
end. Although collections of these treasures have been located in hospitals
and clinics for your convenience, they are to be found in prayer, bubble
baths, animals, sunsets, snowfall, romance, music, art, mathematics, physics,
engineering, foods, and everywhere else, too.

This authorizes you to experiment; to make mistakes; to try new things and to
“backslide”; to passionately embrace that which energizes, inspires and
heals you, no matter how “outside” of the medical model it may be; and to
accept that you are the world’s greatest authority on you.

You are entitled to build and create new dreams, and view them as a force as
powerful as medicine.

This authorizes you to trust that procovery is possible for all individuals;
that healing a life can heal an illness; that there are infinite ways to in
itiate and promote healing no matter how grave the illness and no matter how
serious the limitations of systems and symptoms; and that hope is a life
force in and of itself.  To trust that there are as many paths to wellness as
there are to illness and that supporting individual paths to procovery will
ultimately result in mass and lasting change not only in individuals but also
in health care systems.

You have leave to Just Start Anywhere. Today.

Each person who reads and understands this is authorized to extend these
privileges to others, by reproducing and distributing this certificate or by
creating another of his/her own design. Those who don't feel the need to
obtain approval in order to experiment, to move toward procovery, to think,
or to do things they've never seen others do are exempt, as they didn't need
permission in the first place.
 

I found it looking for the other one.
I don't even know what procovery IS!

Kathleen is a beautiful, lovely person I ran into on an unschooling board (on AOL,
maybe) a year or so ago. Her "procovery" is from a book she wrote that apparently
encourages people to take control of their own lives and the treatment of their
(perhaps incurable) chronic diseases or problems.

I like this part you are no longer required to depend on the advice of
experts." Far too many folks wait for "permission" from the "experts"
before they sail forth.
