Do you want Chiropractic to “take off,” your practice to “take off?” Then we need to start thinking, speaking and acting as though they have and they will. Of course doing this will separate you from many people including some chiropractors. They will call you crazy. They will say you are wrong. They will eventually have enough of you, and they will attempt to crucify you.
We all know the Healing potential of a skillfully delivered spinal adjustment given at the right time in the right place. But have even we in subluxation-based Chiropractic actually been selling this profession short? We know the power of the spinal adjustment when it comes to healing dis-ease and disease conditions in the human body, but is it also possible that this same spinal adjustment can actually change human behavior?
I guess I’m starting to get a reflective this close to the end of the year. What is it that I learned this year? What decisions have I made that I am proud of? What have I stood for? What have I found out about myself that I didn’t know before? Knowing what I have found out, how would I want to change about how and when I make my decisions? What has become apparent that in the past seemed like such a mystery? How have I made this world a little richer?
A big concern from many students and new DC’s is whether our philosophy is practical. Please allow me to share my feelings on that. I was raised in chiropractic. It is something I do not take for granted, and appreciate so very much. Not that I was taught the words to express our philosophy, but that our lifestyle was a living example of it. I was always confident that the body would heal itself from the injuries, and illnesses encountered while growing up.
A few months ago I embarked on a monthly lecture series in the office, and later today will be installment #3 (watch for the tapes!). This one is entitled, “A life without fear” (thank you Fred Barge), and will focus on the application of chiropractic philosophy into one’s life.
