I feel it coming. Like the barest shift in the breeze, there’s a change brewing. Something’s comin’; something good, if I can wait. I can almost hear a bugle in the far off night, as if the cavalry is mounting up for a charge, just in time for the dramatic rescue. Maybe it’s because spring has fully sprung here in Lake Tahoe.
The path of least resistance, according to BJ Palmer, “is what makes rivers and men crooked.” When I choose to look honestly at my chiropractic practice and my life (as if I’m fooling me when I choose otherwise), I see the truth of that statement. All too often. And after 15 years on a principled path, it is humbling, to say the least, to discover areas in which I haven’t quite gotten “there” yet. Areas thru which I still tend to take the path of least resistance. I already knew about some of them, of course. But recently a few more have floated into my awareness, and sometimes I wonder if “there” is even possible to reach in this lifetime.
Several years ago, I wrote an essay dealing with the doubts I was having about my doubts. I realized then that most of the things I had previously doubted had become tangible parts of my belief system. I realized, too, that my faith in chiropractic principles had allowed me to overcome those doubts.
By Stew Bittman, D.C. I hug basically every folk that I adjust. There, I admit it. I can’t help it, tho. It has become a habit. A wonderful and important part of every folk’s visit. Maybe more important than even I imagine. And it seems as natural as a flowing river: adjustment and hug, adjustment
By Stew Bittman, D.C. Since the start of 2004, we’ve already had 4 babies born in the practice, and there are at least 9 more ready to come aboard in the next couple of months (it snowed a lot last April and May!). I was blessed to check 3 of the 4 within the first
