-You were born to be healthy! Your body is a self-healing organism. Your brain controls and directs all parts of your body. Your brain is connected to your body through your nervous system, which is made up of your spinal cord and nerves. Your brain makes sure that your lungs breathe, your heart beats, your muscles flex, your immune system functions, etc. Life energy flows from your brain to all parts of your body.
-Health is the ability to successfully adapt to stresses in your everyday life. Stresses can be physical (injuries), chemical (toxin exposures) or emotional (stress). Health is the natural result of an adequate expression of life energy in your body. For example, the amount of food and water necessary to simply stay alive is different than what is needed to be healthy. Likewise, the amount of life energy to simply stay alive is different than what is needed to be truly healthy.
-Three things are needed to maximize the expression of life energy in your body to help you keep growing stronger and healthier;
- Positive focus in life
- Healthy lifestyle (proper diet, exercise and rest)
- Clear connection between body and brain
-Your body is constantly changing every moment you are alive! There are only two ways that your body can change in any moment: you can either get a little stronger, or get a little weaker, you cannot stay the same. For example, if you exercise, you get stronger… if you don’t exercise, you get weaker. If you eat good healthy food, you grow stronger… If you eat junk food, you get weaker. If you have happy, healthy thoughts, you get stronger… If you only have negative, angry thoughts, you get weaker.
-Remember that your brain controls and directs all parts of your body. Nothing in the body works unless it is connected to your brain. Therefore, if your spine is misaligned this reduces the life energy flow to your body making you weaker. If you correct this misalignment through spinal adjustments, the life energy travels easier and you get stronger.
-Specific chiropractic adjustments restore the connection between brain and body. This restores the flow of life energy. Every chiropractic adjustment is a part of the healing process. Every adjustment builds on the next one. Healing is any movement towards increasing your body’s expression of life energy. Therefore even one adjustment can make a difference.
-Overall, the goal is to become a little stronger at the end of every day. As you express higher and higher levels of life energy in your body, you move toward optimal health and wellness!
