We all have an idea of what we believe aging “should” look like.

For instance, many people believe their experience will be the carbon copy of their parents or other family members.

They may even go so far as to take inventory of the ailments in their family and believe that those things are their destiny, too. Or they become so preoccupied with the possibility of illness that they place themselves on the strictest of health regimens.

I ask all my clients these types of questions when they come in talking about a new trend for health and wellness.

A common answer I hear from almost everyone is this: “They say it’s supposed to be good for you.”

Who are they?

The more I ask who they are, the more people seem to get frustrated.

That’s because they don’t even know the actual source most of the time!

I know someone’s nutrition is sound when their body responds to our session by creating a better flow of energy. This may look like opening stuck tissue areas to regain mobility and/or breaking up scar tissue to wake up lost patterns. The body may also improve how it moves from session to session, creating a better health profile as they age.

It’s interesting to think about how much money we spend on health as a society when all we have to do is look in the mirror.

The key to aging gracefully and reversing damage over time is to live in what’s really happening, not what you believe to be happening.

Think about it. There are so many ways to help your back before it goes out and even afterwards. You just need to be willing to sit in this idea: “I need to make changes.” Then, you need to be willing to see the answer for what it is, not what you want it to be.

If you continue to hold onto the idea that “all I did was move and my back went out,” then you will only be limiting yourself. Those ‘health blinders’ will literally cripple you.

Once you take the time to learn about medicine, its roots, gifts and limitations, the path to healing becomes so much easier.

In each model of medicine, the doctors and practitioners are doing what they are trained to do. They have limited beliefs and understanding of how to broaden their skill sets to include you in their answers. They’re just using their training and theories. There is little room for the person who’s needs may fall outside of their scope of understanding; unfortunately, that includes most of us.

Energy medicine is not medicine as we know it- at least in the Western world. It’s about learning that we are all energy, and everything around us is energy. Everything that happens can leave an imprint that can affect us physically, emotionally and energetically. Once you become aware of those imprints and understand that it’s not always just you, specifically, then you’ll get to choose the energy you want in your space and how it will impact you.

Are you faced with overall health challenges and age-related pain?

When learning how to self-heal from many types of pain, one option is to enlist the help of a chiropractor. While seeing a chiropractor can be beneficial to a point, most people are not utilizing this service to its fullest healing potential.

Healing Yourself From Within

When I see clients, their whole being is consumed by their pain and how unlucky they feel. It seems unfair to them that they have to make all these changes and adjustments in areas of their lives that most people don’t ever consider. They feel that everyone else is lucky, and they’ve drawn the short straw in life.

Tired of the the information on what you should be doing to self-heal and age gracefully. Learn that healing takes time and you are the one in the drivers seat not the quick fixes.

Sleep is the most important thing you can do to keep yourself healthy, balanced, and focused. Try this 20-minute stretch and breathing exercise before bed and watch your life fall into balance.

Medication treats symptoms and in some cases, can resolve why we have an issue but if the initial cause is still unknown, then there is still no actual resolution of the problem.
