No Clock Day: Time Management Includes Playing Hooky

I took a No-Clock Day today. Mike and I both took the day off and reveled in the idea that the rest of the world was in a week day routine. We had no appointments and no need to worry about the clock. I wanted it to be a spontaneous day. I did do the laundry and we stopped at the hardware store and the bank, but we avoided all "job stuff" as much as possible.

At 11 AM I decided to go for a run. I had to rummage through the closet for my running shoes. I hadn't gone running in at least a year. It was pushed to the back burner because the weather was never right or Eirne needed my attention or I had just eaten (I must have been eating all day long).

It was a nice run. And then I stopped at the farmer's market. I read all the newspapers that piled up. I even listened to some podcasts. It was nice to have a No-Clock Day.

I was surprised that I didn't feel even a little guilty about skipping a lot of "work" chores. I did begin a mental list of what to do tomorrow, but I should be much more organized and focused because of this extra day of rest.

When is your next No-Clock Day?

Surpassion: Advanced Living [Chiropractic Inspired Life-Style]

This Sunday's opening prayer at church proclaimed God's love surpasses all our thoughts and desires. I reflected on this and decided this should inspire us to have "surpassion. "

Being in awe of all the gifts presented to us in this world, I can't help but feel the byproduct of all this generosity as "surpassion."

Since I made up this word I should explain more of its meaning to me. (I googled it, too, just to make sure no one else thought of it. It is not an official word in the English dictionary, anyway.)

Everything can be described as an exchange of energy. Matter is energy. We, as humans, have a great deal of influence over the energy we give and receive reciprocally. Our collective human potential surpasses our current level of thinking. Since we have the opportunity to evolve in our hearts and minds, it becomes our surpassion.

Surpassion allows us to honor our physical and non-physical gifts. It is a never ending optimism that compels us to share our talents and give of our time to make the world a better place.

Your chiropactic adjustment is a special time to honor the energy and matter components of your hard working nervous system. It always, always, always, plays a role in how you think, act, love, create and transform. (I used to say "heal" but "transform" inspires us to be more.

The Power of Awareness: Chiropractic Clarity

When we are not in sync with God's gift of universal intelligence, we create a world of weakness and disharmony.

The amazing life story of David R. Hawkins, MD PhD, demonstrates how capable we are if we dissolve the negative barriers from our lives. I just got a copy of his book, Power vs. Force and his words resonate with other science oriented people who feel a spiritual awareness in everything such as Candice Pert, PhD, and Deepak Chopra, MD.

The following quote from another book of Dr. Hawkin's explains how misunderstanding it keeps people stuck in poor attiudes, poor health, poor relationships, etc.

"The readiness to initiate the journey cannot be forced nor can people be faulted if it has not occurred in them as yet. The level of consciousness has to have advanced to the stage where such an intention would be meaningful and attractive."
The Eye of The I…David R. Hawkins, M.D., PhD

His quote sheds light on why these ideas are overlooked as ways to enhance our lives.

From a chiropractic point of view, getting clear is the first step so a person can develop an openness to the incredible benefits of mind-body synchronicity. We can begin to get clear by detoxifying our bodies as well as our thoughts and attitudes.

Chiropractic clears out the blockages that deter our own energy processes within the nervous system so we can be alert and ready to enjoy life.

The Mechanical, Melodious, & Miracle: Chiropractic Path to Personal Freedom

Welcome to Mind-Body Synchronicity. This is a personal development program with a chiropractic focus. This is the gem of chiropractic that, once understood, expands a person's life in amazing ways.

The mind and body respond to each other. The body speaks to us very uniquely but there are few who can translate its language. Chiropractic takes care of that. With the nervous system being the most important survival system of the body, it must be allowed to do its job without interference.

I try to convey this to my practice members in different ways without trying to dissect every aspect of the human body. Who has that kind of time? I spent a year studying anatomy and still didn't learn everything. The neuro-physiology of the mental impulse has been studied like crazy lately. I love talking about it all day long. But not everyone sees the same excitement in it like I do...not yet.

I like to present it in 3 simple steps:
1. The Mechanical
2. The Melodious
3. The Miracle

Most people look at the body as a mechanical masterpiece. It is a fine beginning point, but once the understanding grows, looking at life mechanically becomes prehistoric, almost too rudimentary. Every part of the body has its place and works systematically with its neighboring organ or muscle. We appear to be very mechanical. You can even replace some parts with transplanted organs or artificial joints. But we are not truly mechanical. We can't stop there because it doesn't honor the cognitive and emotional sides of human existence. We cannot be taken apart piece by piece and put back together again. Something unique is missing. The melody.

The melodious part of us is that unseen essence that keeps us alive. Our thoughts have interesting ways to affect the body such as emotions creating hormonal events within the body. There is a melody that sings inside of us that connect organs that are not near each other. Cells respond to nerve signals that are nowhere near it. Cells can communicate without touching. Relying alone on a mechanistic view does not explain this living phenomenon.

This takes us to the miracle. Do we need to be able to explain everything? We are miracles. We are special creations who continue to co-create by interacting with the rest of the population and using and replenishing what is available to us on this earth. For many this is our profound connection with God. Others call this our innate link with universal intelligence. It is miraculous.

Chiropractic is Personal Development?

When you receive a chiropractic adjustment, the mechanical, melodious, and miraculous connections are "revved" up to the maximum so becoming the best person you want to be is withing your reach.

Many believe in the regualar tune-up.
Others believe little can be achieved without health.
There are others who believe nothing can be achieved without a respect for our innate gifts provided by God.

Chiropractic honors the mechanical, melodious, and miracle inside each of us.

I invite you to experience the personal freedom that is inspired by chiropractic.

60 Minutes Questions Drugs for Children

I just watched the 60 Minutes episode about toddlers being treated with drugs for bipolar disorder. Psychiatrists believe 2 year old children can be depressed and manic. A mom and dad are charged with murder because their 3 year old daughter died of heart and lung damage due to prolonged drug abuse, according to the medical examiner. The mother was interviewed saying she was only following the directions on the bottles...
Yes, I said bottles. Three different drugs because the child was "driving me crazy." And, the other children in this family are also diagnosed with mental disorders and there was a huge risk on this child because of a family history.

Here are my questions that were not asked in the 60 Minutes episode:

What is this family's home life like?

What kind of nutrition is this family eating?

Did this child have a traumatic birth?

How healthy was the mom during her pregnancy?

Did this child ever suffer a serious trauma such as a fall or shaking?

Were there any reactions from vaccines, even if they were weeks after the administrations?

What could life have been like if every family member was getting chiropractic adjustments?

I cannot over emphasize the different ways spinal distortions, spinal injuries, and progression of subluxations affect the quality of life of the individual.

Help me spread the word.

The Silent Majority: Subluxations Out of Control Derailing Our Health

I was listening to a radio show that mentioned the "silent majority" of people who dislike the current entertainment trends negatively influencing society. This "silent majority" remains silent because it seems futile to speak out against it.



As a chiropractor who teaches the common neurological progression of all dis-eases in the body and mind are connected to the subluxation is in the silent majority as well. When people are not educated or ignore the science of subluxation degeneration, they have turned their back on a critical health problem in this world.



There is no point in saying heart disease and cancer are the number one killers in the U.S. While these diagnoses appears to be the immediate cause of death on autopsy reports or death certificates, no one can argue the lifetime accumulation of stress that has damaged organs, blood vessels, nerves, and the communication system of the body that coordinates healing.



Subluxations play an incredible role in maintaining health, yet, only a small portion of the population take this threat seriously. Rather than comment on the lack of information disseminated in public service announcements or the problems with insurance coverage and non-chiropractors attempting to illegally practice chiropractic without a license, I only need to repeat one sentence from a chiropractic class called the neurological basis of disease:



Only 10% of all nociceptive nerve signals reach the brain.



Nociception is a process when something noxious or not normal is happening in the body and the nerves received this message. The spinal cord filters out these signals and only 10% of the time the brain notified. If these signals do not reach the brain, you do not feel any pain. If you do not feel any pain, you assume all is well.



Subluxations are not painful 90% of the time but they continuously downgrade the nervous system's ability to respond to stress and heal.



Many are not concerned with the silent majority called subluxations. I am concerned about it every day of my life.

While you may have different priorities regarding your chiropractic care, I am focused on the silent effects of subluxations.

The Unappreciated Cervical Spine: Chiropractic & the Balance Factor

If we consider the mechanical aspects of the neck, it will only excite the nerdy chiropractors ( I am "nerdy chiropractor" up to a point). From an anatomical and physiological view point, the neck is a very busy part of the body. Not only does it support the brain, thyroid, and let you eat your dinner, the neck is a very important transport point for nerves that control the autonomic nervous system. These are the information super high-ways that keep your vital functions going.

In a more holistic perspective it connects the head and the heart and you truly need to be in touch with both to live well. Historically there has been the argument: which is more powerful -- living through your head or your heart? Your head allows you to think through possible consequences of your choices. Your heart gives you emotional feedback, as well. We use them both at different times for different reasons, for different outcomes.

But never forget...the neck that is in the middle.
The cervical spine is the life line.

Staying balanced is key. That includes your head and your heart. And, all the physical and non-physical aspects of the nervous system.
