A Lifeline to Health


At the age of 15 I got to spend a summer in the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts, beside a serene spring-fed lake. My friend and I noticed a tiny rivulet of water flowing from one end of the lake to who-knows-where and we decided to follow it.

When we look for answers regarding health and healing, we must start with the cause. What is it that allows for health and healing in the first place? It's the life force which distinguishes a living person from a corpse. If the life force, which in Chiropractic we call Innate Intelligence (and in Oriental Medicine is known as Chi), is moving as it should throughout the nervous system and energy meridians there will be health. Why? Because it is the movement and flow of life itself that allows for health to be possible. The cause of all dis-ease is stagnancy, a condition where things are stuck, they're not moving freely. It could be the blood, the lymph, the nerve impulses, the bowels, the bile, the emotions............if there's a state of stagnancy, just like a stagnant body of water, there will not be the conditions for a high level of health because of interference to the life force.

So, in my work as a holistic chiropractor, my concern to help release and remove any patterns of interference to Innate Intelligence. Interference is caused by stress of various types. Physical stress can be caused by accidents and injuries, chemical stress is caused by a poor diet, malnutrition, toxicity, and poisoning. Finally, there is emotional stress, perhaps the most powerful form of interference that can occur. This is when emotions, many times of a traumatic nature, become stuck in the nervous system and energy meridians of the body. The word emotion literally means "energy in motion." E-motion. In other words, the emotion is wanting to complete its cycle, find resolution and be released. But for many of us and for many emotions, this resolution never takes place. Perhaps we learned that our parents and friends didn't like when we expressed a certain feeling and we decided to suppress it, or maybe our logical mind discounted the validity of the feeling. However it got there, if the emotion remains stuck, our body and our behavior will continue to dance to its tune in the form of physical ailments and self-sabotage of our plans and goals in life. The emotion will continue to speak, as it were, in its quest for resolution and will use the body for its means of expression.

In my office, I seek to address physical interference by means of chiropractic, chemical interference through nutritional counseling and emotional stress with Neuro Emotional Technique, a magical yet completely scientific process that allows these trapped emotions, whether they've been there for a day or 50 years, to finally become unstuck, allowing for the flow, once again, of the life force.. Once the flow of life force, Innate Intelligence is restored, healing has a chance to take place naturally.
