Holistic Chiropractic Healing

By Sid Mouk, D.C.

One of the toughest lessons I had to learn and, perhaps, that we all have to learn is that no external circumstances, happenings, or people are ever the cause of the problems/dis-eases in my life. I finally learned that when I have a “problem/dis-ease” in my life, the problem is “ME,” not anything or anyone else! All I have to do to confront the problem is to look in the mirror that’s what most people would consider the bad news. The good news, however, is that all I have to do to find the solution to the problem (or the cure of the dis-ease) is also to look in the mirror! I’m the problem/dis-ease in my life… and I’m the solution to the problem/dis-ease in my life (no matter what form that problem/dis-ease might take).

It took me a while to realize that this is not bad news, instead, this is wonderful news a gift from the Universe. Because I have little or no control over external circumstances or the behavior of other people, but I do have full control over me I can change ME! And since I’m the problem and since I do have full control over ME, I can solve any and every problem/dis-ease in my life (in fact, this is the only way my life problems/dis-eases can ever be solved).

This gives me total control over any circumstances that are not what I’d like to have in my life?I can change any problem/dis-ease in my life by changing ME.

digging a hole

I recently heard a quote that fits in very well here, “In life, if you find yourself in a hole stop digging.” How true this is?! At times, all of us find ourselves in a “hole” in our life and when we realize that we’re digging the hole ourselves, all we have to do is quit what we’re doing and we find ourselves no longer in the “hole.” This “hole” in our lives can be any problem and/or dis-ease. It’s something so vital to learn in this life and yet many of us fail to achieve this learning (we all know older people and some not so old who have never achieved anything worthwhile in their lives because of these “holes” they’ve gotten themselves into and now they spend all their time explaining to others why they didn’t make it in life “The world is rotten,” ” The politicians are crooked,” “I never had a chance because of my childhood,” “An honest man can’t make it in this world,” “If you’d been through what I’ve been through you wouldn’t have made it either,” etc.). Many thousands? and perhaps even millions of people use these excuses, but there are also many more out there doing extremely well in life who could have used these same reasons/excuses not to succeed but who, instead, have learned this “lesson,” gotten out of their self-imposed “holes,” and gone on to enormous success in this adventure we call human life.

In life, if you find yourself in a hole stop digging.

And, since we do live in a MindBody and not a separate mind and a separate body, our health problems/dis-eases can be corrected in the same way (no matter how serious they may seem to be). It’s “Me” who is the problem/dis-ease and it is “Me” who is the solution/cure. I have full control over my own MindBody and, therefore, there is no such thing as an “incurable” disease or dis-ease. Could it be that the Healers of this planet “Heal” us only by helping us to find and implement the solution to the dis-ease that is temporarily with us? At a basic human level, no one “Heals” us but us!

How do we go about learning this vital life-transforming and, possibly, life-saving lesson? We first have to learn to put aside our ego and our self-importance while we realize that we’re all students in this “game” of life and we all came here to learn certain vital lessons. Our own importance is directly tied in to the growth and evolution and importance of all people on this earth and we might do well to open ourselves to whatever is out there for us to learn. We have to step aside and “lay ourselves open” so the Universe/God can fill us with lessons, abundance, and the beauty of life. It’s our birthright! This world is vastly abundant and it’s abundance is being offered to us.

The abundance of the Universe has been likened to that of the Pacific Ocean… vast, enormous, endless. No matter how much each of us receives from that ocean of abundance, the ocean will never be diminished in any way. The Universe invites us to take all of the abundance we want and always says I love you. That’s just perfect, no matter how much we choose to receive. It’s our choice. Most people bring just a thimble to this endless ocean of abundance and take a tiny amount while some of us learn the lessons well and bring a tank truck and sometimes even a whole train of tank cars and fill them to the brim with abundance and all the good things in life? and the Universe always says the same thing to us and loves us. So how much abundance we receive in this life is up to us. The key to receiving a great abundance of good, however, is learning to let go of the great abundance of non-love thinking that we so often carry with us in this experience on planet Earth. This “opens the dam” and allows Universal abundance to flow into our lives. The only thing that can keep it from us is “us.” We cannot enhance or embellish what is out there waiting for us?we can only interfere with it and stop it from being transmitted into our lives.

This interference can take several forms but the most important always involves our ego… our self-centeredness. The only way to put aside our self-importance is to remove all non-love thinking from our lives. A simple, but not necessarily easy, thing to do. All of our thinking can be divided basically into love thinking and non-love thinking. Some people group all non-love thinking together as “fear.” Dr. Gerald Jampolsky’s book, Love Is Letting Go Of Fear explains this concept very well. I highly recommend it. Love thinking is based upon unconditional love (the book A Course In Miracles tells us that we are here on Earth only to learn to receive and to give unconditional love).

Non-Love thinking would include anger, hatred, resentment, envy, fear, and jealousy. It also includes some types of thinking that many of us might not think of as being non-love?such as doubt. Determining what type of thinking we’re doing is relatively easy. If what we are thinking doesn’t conform to the Golden Rule (as taught by all great spiritual leaders throughout the world now and in the past) “Do Unto Others As You would Have Them do Unto You,” then it involves non-love thinking.

Love is Universal Energy. Love is Healing Energy. Love is (unconditional) Agape Love. Love is doing to others what you would like them to do to you. As Dr. Jim Parker taught us, LLL (Lather Love Lavishly)!

Serve for the sake of serving
Give for the sake of giving
Love for the sake of loving
