Humanity is more disconnected now than ever. We are disconnected from Nature, from on another and from ourselves – our True Self. Kids are growing up addicted to technology as stretched thin parents use Iphones and Ipads as pacifiers to coddle and distract their children. Is your child really well-behaved? Or, is their awareness and attention completely consumed by whatever device they have in their hands? But who can blame these parents? Social life has become overwhelming and unmanageable for most. In an attempt to “provide” a certain material standard of living for the family, many people have forgotten what is truly important and what really matters. Parents spend less time at home, focusing time and energy on making money to pay for mortgages, taxes, over-priced groceries and gasoline, not to mention, buying the next generation play station or Ipad. Again, who can blame them? We live in a consumer-based society. Spending money is necessary to keep the capitalist engine revving – when the only marker of success is growth, it becomes a slippery slope…we need to make more to spend more to maintain (the illusion of) success. Meanwhile, parents are relying on playschools, day cares and public schools to raise their kids. When the parents are home, they don’t have the energy to be present, don’t have the energy to listen, the patience to teach, coach and, when necessary, correct and discipline. No one has the time or energy to cook, so we order in skip-the-dishes. No one has the time or energy to workout, so we watch Netflix or ‘the game’. All these choices are subconsciously teaching our kids the lessons they will, most likely but not absolutely, repeat. The path of least resistance is more tempting in 2025 than ever. Unfortunately, it is also the path of a slow, gradual decent to the lowest version of ourselves. How we do one thing is how we do all things. Average. Mediocre. It’s dragging down the collective consciousness of humanity.
Triggered yet? Sounding ‘doom & gloom’? Good. It’s a sign that you still know the Truth when you hear it. The hard part comes next. None of this is new, everyone knows they need to eat better, exercise more, be more kind, be more patient…the task is DOING – taking action. Doing what we know we need to do. And, the first step is wanting to do better, to be better. There needs to be desire for change. Once there is a genuine desire, and you can hold on to that, taking positive action in the direction of that vision becomes more natural. It literally feels good. The next challenge is consistency. But there is hope. Why? Because you aren’t doing it alone.
The whole Universe is conspiring in your favor. Universal Intelligence is waiting for you to remember who you were destined to be, who you truly are. God has imbued within you everything you would ever need to live a fulfilling and beautiful life full of love, joy, wonder and peace. Whatever you want for yourself and your life, God wants that for you, too. One of the most comforting aspects of this life is remembering that the same Intelligence that permeates the Universe, is also within YOU. Humans have been endowed with the gift of imagination – the ability to turn dreams (non-material) into reality (material). Being made in the image of God means to be gifted the power to create. Consider the freedom in that…like God, you can aspire, decide and create who we want to be, what kind of person we’d like to be and the life we want to live…this is what it means to self-actualize.
Chiropractic is one of many paths capable of supporting those who are on the journey of creating and becoming the greatest version of themselves. Chiropractic adjustments remove the interference that obstructs our ability to perceive reality clearly. The adjustment allows our Innate Intelligence to flow freely, enabling our brain, nervous system and body to function at their highest capacity. Said a little different, we experience MORE LIFE. Meditation, breath work, psychedelics, yoga are all examples of age old techniques to lift the veil and see clearly. Like any practice, the longer we’ve been under care & getting adjusted, the more clear and connected we become, the more we relate to the best version of our self, the more we see reality for what it is: that everything has the capacity to heal. You are deeply connected to everything. The illusion of separateness becomes obvious. Ultimately, it brings us closer to the sacred and moves us closer to God. Chiropractic is truly body, mind and spirit.
