Kid You Have Potential
By: Sue Brown, D.C,
Each day we are bombarded with constant input. Billions and trillions of sounds, smells, tastes, sensations, emotions, lights and thoughts happen all around us, to us, on us, and in us. And we, living in this blender of sensations, have to process and integrate all that we perceive. It is easy to understand why most people are overwhelmed most of the time. It’s like putting your mouth around a fire hose and turning on the hydrant. This overload is what causes the subluxation (interference) in the nervous system. When I was in school, I learned that subluxations were caused by the “unbalanced concussion of environmental forces”, and I viewed the body as being weakened by the forces it stored. It created tension, breakdown and a general dis-ease. It was a “bad” thing! As I have become more and more aware of energy and force dynamics I have had to seriously re-think this point of view.
When looking at the overload of input in terms of forces, the picture becomes quite different. Forces impart energy. Whether it is the energetic pulse of a sound wave, the energy waves created when your foot hits the floor, the photons of light striking the retina of the eye or the energy of a strong emotion. Energy is not good or bad, it just is and it is meant to flow through all that exists. In fact, it is considered that the greater the flow of energy, the healthier the body. So why is it that all of these environmental forces imparting all of this “energy” don’t simply extend and improve our lives? Why does it seem to cause tension, stress and dis-ease? Because the body is not always able to integrate and flow with the energetic input. The body’s inability to integrate this energy causes it to be stopped as if by a dam and therefore stored instead of flowing through. The body was not meant as a storage house for energy and energy was not meant to be contained. This storage containment creates tension and dis-ease. But once again, energy is just energy and even though it may reek havoc when stored, contained and built up, it has an equally powerful healing affect when released. In much the same way as the Chinese character for crisis is opportunity; every bit of tension stored in the body is a great source of potential energy, waiting to be released. The greater the tension, the greater the unhealed event, the greater the source of potential energy and healing. Each time an adjustment is given, a little bit of potential energy is released, increasing the flow of life in the body. I no longer see it as “boy you have a lot of tension”, but rather, “boy you have a lot of potential”. Potential to heal, potential to grow, potential to feel, potential to evolve. Every bit of energy released to flow through the body increases the body’s ability and potential to function in a healthy flow. That is why we live in this never-ending barrage of input, to increase our energetic flow, to increase our healthy functioning, to help us evolve. Each step you take generates a force which generates a wave of energy which increases your flow. Have you ever noticed that people who lead sedentary lives tend to get more sedentary as time goes by? It is because there is no movement to help generate the forces, the very impulses of life. It is easier to keep an object in motion if it is already moving than to get it started from a dead cold stop. Explore life, welcome its experiences as generating force, generating energy, generating flow throughout your being, your existence.
Once I began viewing life in terms of potential energy, it was amazing how light life got. If I get overwhelmed and am not fully integrating all of the input coming to me, I know that my body will store what I cannot integrate. That’s only a problem if I leave it there unattended. If, however, I get adjusted, it is simply energy that is allowed to flow, i.e. more fuel for my internal generator.
Life is full of potential energy and so is your body. And lucky me! I get to help you release it and see you reach your full potential.

Go Gratitude - Go Gratitude is a world wide experiment in using the power of Gratitude to open all doors of possibility, through focused attention, unique insight and use of a Master Key. Our goal is to connect one million people in 30 days as we recognize the power of collective focus and shared experience.We're also introducing a series of messages, titled "42 days of Knew Views on Gratitude". Delivered daily, via email, these messages will inspire, enlighten and all together bend your brain as you consider knew views on Gratitude.

 

The Spiritual Cinema Circle - Excellent product & service.  Everyone is jumping on the Circle's bandwagon - Deepak Chopra, the producers of "What the Bleep...", etc. , its an AMAZING service!  A DVD filled with in-spirational content.  Try one month and see what I mean.

 

After Dinner Reading

This month's readings are a collection of quotes from Richard Bach's - Illusions:

    "There is no such thing as a problem without a gift for you in its hands.  You seek problems because you need their gifts."

    "Argue for your limitations and sure enough they are yours."

    "You are never given a wish without being given the power to make it true.  You may have to work for it, however."

    "Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there.  What you choose to do with them is up to you."

    "The truth you speak has no past and no future.  It is, and that is all it needs to be."

    "Here is a test to find whether your mission on Earth is finished.  If you're alive, it isn't!"

    "The mark of your ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy.  What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly."

   

News & Views
First let me say that I am NOT into bashing the medical profession.  MD's, surgeons and other disease and crisis care professionals provide an amazing service.  I certainly wouldn't want to see or adjust somebody in my office with a gunshot wound or who has just swallowed a gallon of bleach.  However, there does need to be a bit more balance - check this out:

 

MEDICAL DOCTORS:
1. The number of doctors in Canada is 70,000
2. Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year are 12,000
3. Accidental deaths per physician is 1.714%
*Statistics courtesy of the Canadian Dept of Health & Human Services

GUNS:
1. The number of guns owned in Canada is 80,000,000 (yes that's 80 million)
2. The number of accidental gun deaths per year (all age groups) is1,500
3. The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is 0.001875%
*Statistics courtesy of the RCMP

CONCLUSION:
Statistically, doctors are approximately 900 times more dangerous than gun owners.
Remember, guns don't kill people, doctors do.

FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR.

 

New Element Discovered
A major research institution has recently announced the discovery of the heaviest element yet known to science. The new element has been named the "GOVERNMENTIUM."
GOVERNMENTIUM has 1 neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 11 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since GOVERNMENTIUM has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected, as it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A minute amount of GOVERNMENTIUM causes 1 reaction to take over 4 days to complete, when it would normally take less than a second.

GOVERNMENTIUM has a normal 1/2-life of 4 years; it does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, GOVERNMENTIUM's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes. This characteristic of moron-promotion leads some scientists to believe that GOVERNMENTIUM is formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as "Critical Morass".

When catalyzed with money, GOVERNMENTIUM becomes Administratium - an element that radiates just as little energy, since it has 1/2 as many peons but twice as many morons.
