Topic of the Month : INTENT

“Intention is the most powerful force in healing.” “Intent is not just in your head, it is a force of nature that orchestrates the movement of information and energy into physical reality.”

– Deepak Chopra

According to Dr. Chopra:

Intention = Information and Attention = Energy.

When you focus your attention on your intention you cause your intention to manifest itself into physical reality. In essence, with good intention and focused attention, you can make wonderful things happen and the inverse is true as well. So I ask you, where is your heart and mind when you do what you do?

There is nothing like, no replacement or substitute for, chiropractic care. A specific and gentle chiropractic adjustment of a subluxation (interference in your nervous system caused by dysfunction of a spinal joint) is completely different than a wrenching “manipulation” of that same joint that may be performed by those in other professions. It differs in many ways including the “Intent” behind each adjustment. Chiropractic is not just a form of natural treatment for pains and problems. It is a lifestyle that promotes health and wellness for people of all ages with the core premise being: The body is a tremendous self-healing and self-regulating organism. The nervous system is the master control system of the body. If there is interference in the nervous system, the body will not function properly and will have a reduced ability to heal itself. Chiropractors remove nervous system interference. As a chiropractor, I have a very strong philosophical attachment to this core premise and every adjustment that I provide is delivered with a deep and unwavering “Intention” of loving healing. As we have seen, “Intention is the most powerful force in healing” and in my office, I incorporate positive intention with focused attention. Knowing this, how could you not be motivated to get you and your children checked for subluxation? If present, subluxation can lead to dis-ease in the body which leads to disease. But, if removed through chiropractic care, you not only avoid disease, but gain enhancement of overall health and wellbeing.

Now you understand how my intent can help you, your family, your friends and co-workers. Let’s see how your intent can help you, your family and all those around you. I go back to the question, where is your heart and mind when you do what you do? Do you give a dollar to the person outside the grocery store holding a collection can for a charity so they will leave you alone or to help those they are collecting for? Do you help others because you hope for something in return or just because you want to help them? We all have times where we do things for “the right reasons” and for “the wrong reasons.” If your intent is not present, pure and steadfast, the positive manifestations will not occur.

Is it possible to consciously develop your intent? Absolutely! It takes work but it is worth it. Through techniques such as goal setting and daily affirmations you can mold your intention however you see fit.

You must first determine what your core values are. Set aside a period of time were you can be alone with your thoughts and determine what things are most important to you, the type of person you would like to be, the way you would like to act and feel all the time. Feel free to think about the people you think are already like this and model their characteristics. Now you can write out goals in accordance with these core values. Once you have written out your goals, you can create daily affirmations that will reinforce these core values and goals. This is not easy work, but when you get in a habit of goal setting and daily affirmations you will be able to start to live your life in full congruency with your beliefs. When you live your life in full congruency with your beliefs, your intent will be present, pure and steadfast and will manifest itself through your attention. This manifestation will create whatever it is that you choose to create.

I strongly encourage everyone to make these efforts and to work with your children to form these habits early. The world can be changed and improved, one person at a time. Step up and be that next person to make a positive contribution through your positive intention and teach our next generation of citizens to do the same.

I gladly offer my services to any and all that desire to make a change. I would happily come out and speak to any adult or youth group, business or other organization, just call the office to set-up a time. As I mentioned earlier, chiropractic is a Wellness Lifestyle. As a patient in my office, you have free and complete access to this type of wellness lifestyle counseling whenever you so desire as well as ongoing nutritional counseling, exercise counseling, stress management counseling and deriving the incredible benefits one experiences from having a nervous system free of interference.

Set your intentions on a healthier happier world and decide now that you and your family are going to be healthy and “Well adjusted.” CALL US AND MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR YOUR FAMILY TODAY!

Products of the Month : LOVE

The most wonderful gift one could ever receive is the love of another. Children and pets are the perfect example. It is so easy to love them because they give back unconditional love that warms your heart and makes everything else that is going on Okay. Can you give unconditional love? I tell myself every day (my affirmations) that I can give those who come in contact with me unconditional love and every day I get that much closer to doing it. Give it a chance. Brighten up the day of the people in your life. Share your love. You won’t run out you’ll just get 10 fold in return.
