Good job!!!
When we feel better who gets the credit? Most people do not stand up, pound their chest and say, "I do good work!" Instead we hear how amazing this new $10 pill is or how great the doctor or surgery was.
New rule: You can thank your doctor only after thanking yourself.
Go home tonight, look in the mirror and thank youself for healing from within.
After all, NONE OF US could have done it without you.

What happened last night?
Most people would saying "nothing much". But think about what we took for granted....
Overnight your hair and fingernails grew a little bit, your skin made billions of new cells, your metabolism slowed down and your heart beat more slowly and all the chemical equations which took place in your body did not need conscious thought. Outside in your lawn, new leaves began to develop as moisture and nutrients were brought up from the root system to produce oxygen. The grass might be just high enough to cut. The earth and moon made another trip around the sun, which is just a little bit higher in today’s sky than yesterday. Even the stars moved a little and light we see from them is possible years old.
It's no wonder we take things for granted and assume very little is changing and therefore does not get our attention. We are amazed at children as they grow up because every few days there is a subtle difference in the way they act or the way they look. After 18 years of growth, people become less interested in us because we don't look much different on the outside than we did 12 months ago.
In our fast paced world we forget that there are billions of things happening every second that we can't see or feel so we think they don't exist. Take a minute to acknowledge yourself for sticking around another day and all the "work" you accomplished. :-)

Grace is always there.(written by a fellow colleague)
Epidemic in our society is living a life that is outgoing and action oriented. We seem to feel that life is "out there" somewhere. We feel that to heal we need to "do" something. If we're a doctor, we feel we need to "give" an adjustment of treatment, or to "do" something to the person we are working with.
In deeper, truer healing states, however, there is not so much something done as much as something received by both the doctor and the one being healed. Healing is not so much external as it is internal.
The power of healing comes from our state of receptivity. Receptivity is part of the feminine principle in the yin/yang balance cycle, so I shall refer to Innate as "she" when receiving her in a heightened state of awareness and openness and readiness for healing.
Where is Innate and what is Innate? We feel her when we look around. We feel her when we look inside. She directs our breath, our thoughts, and our heartbeat. We see her in the colors one wears, in the gleam of a piece of jewelry, in the light and shadow in one's eyes. She is in the vibrancy of the sky and the sound of the air around us.
When we agree to allow a healing state into our lives, we feel her in the field around us. She talks through people, places and things.
When we approach someone we are serving in a healing capacity with reverence, we feel in their field where she is weak and strong... where she needs to move and from what trap she needs to be released. She tells our hands what to do, where to go and how to embrace her.
As chiropractors, we observe how we feel when contacting certain areas of the spine. She talks back to us in music, vibration, symbols, or sensations. We feel her in our own breath as we receive the information. She wiggles and tingles in our spine, moving with each thought, touch and intent. We feel her when we match the tone of the person being healed and where he or she is at, and not where we want that person to be, or where we feel Innate is in them, right NOW.
"The power of healing comes from our state of receptivity."
We feel her in our fingertips. We feel her in our pelvis as we agree to keep her dynamic energy and wisdom free in ourselves. We feel her direct our hands, sometimes forcefully, sometimes gently.
She is a guiding force, a knowingness. She carries in her wake divine wisdom. She coordinates all activities in our bodies and all interactions in the spheres of the universe. She orchestrates life.
We merge in her love and feel thankful and full. After the kiss of Innate is released from our fingertips, we swiftly move on trusting her power and direction to activate the healing and awaken the one being healed. At the same time of releasing ourselves to her wisdom, we free ourselves to connect with our own innate.
What have we done? Who has done it? What is this life that moves through us, instead of happening to us? She makes our life hallowed when we receive her. She will bless us, and help us bless ourselves. How do we receive her?
When the "I" moves out of the way, she will come. When we surrender to her all-knowingness, we become her all-knowingness. Let us be servants of this power and therefore become masters of our own life.
Let us receive her Grace. Eastern mystics say, "Grace is always there. It is we who put up the veils and are not receptive." In the same way, Innate is always there. Let us remove the obstacles and feel her and allow her beauty and wisdom to flow into our lives.
Let us be receptive to this never-ending, abundant stream of life moving through us, for she is the healing power and her gifts will set us free.

What can Chiropractic do for?...
People who have had little exposure to the health restoring and health maintaining aspect of chiropractic usually want to know what chiropractic can do for a particular disease or condition, or a number of different conditions. This perception of chiropractic, while incorrect, is based on two very legitimate misconceptions.
First, they have probably met and talked with people who have gotten well from a variety of physical ailments while under chiropractic care. This leads to the incorrect conclusion that chiropractic or the chiropractor got them well.
The second is not related to experience but to a way of thinking. Most people have been led to believe that disease is something that attacks the body and must be fought or in some way destroyed. They are accustomed to health care being disease-driven and naturally address their attention toward the disease and ridding the body of it.
Chiropractic is a completely different approach. It does not address disease or its treatment or cure. Chiropractic concerns itself with the correction of vertebral subluxations.
Subluxations, or vertebral misalignments, interfere with the proper function of the nervous system and prevent the body's inborn potential from being realized. Those potentials are in a number of areas of well-being and health, not the least of which is the ability of the body to heal itself of medical conditions and diseases.
There are a number of other areas of life (social, mental and intellectual) that are just as drastically affected by interference in the nervous system. All are related to our body's ability to adapt. But the most obvious one is in the area of self-healing.
A body, when free of subluxation or when the interference has been lessened, has greater potential to heal itself of all medical conditions. Often it does, and these instances are the ones that seem to impress the average person, causing them to believe that chiropractic can cure or help various medical conditions. It is an understandable error, but an error nonetheless.
The living body has the ability to do what no doctor of any kind is able to do. It can create living tissue to replace diseased and dead cells. Just as the body will heal a cut finger or mend a broken bone without any thought or action on our part, so it is able to create new cells to repair itself. The principle that creates a living human being in approximately nine months out of two small cells is the same principle that heals. Healing truly comes from within. The chiropractor's role is relatively simple: that of removing interference within the human body.
What can chiropractic do for headaches, backaches, asthma, diabetes or cancer? Nothing. The objective of the chiropractor is not to treat or cure diseases. The question that should be asked is: "What can the body do for those diseases?" The answer to that one is quite the opposite: Everything.
Every disease that was ever cured in every patient who ever lived was cured because the body healed itself. The best any medical doctor has ever been able to do in "curing" someone is relieve the symptoms until the body cured itself. That is the medical objective. Removing interference in order to allow the body to perform its task is the chiropractic objective. Once the chiropractic objective has been realized, the chiropractor has done all that he or she is able to do. It is then up to the innate intelligence of the body to do the rest. The wisdom which creates a living human being in nine months time has the capability of producing insulin where it couldn't be produced before. It can heal an ulcer, fight off an infection, and cure the incurable common cold.
Chiropractic cannot do anything for any disease. It can allow the body of every living person to express itself, free of interference in the nervous system. Each human being with a diagnosed disease, an undiagnosed disease, or with no disease needs to have his or her body functioning with a good nerve supply. That is essential to health and is reason enough for seeking regular chiropractic care.Health is for everyone!
Make sure you tell others about the benefits of chiropractic!
