A Chiropractic Blessing

Chiropractic in its essence, is a laying on of the hands, to help people experience more of who they are. The intention of chiropractic is to help people travel the inborn, natural path of uncovering who they already are, by way of the central nervous system.

A great blessing comes through this chiropractic perspective, in the recognition that we are already whole, there is nothing to discover outside of ourselves. We have, within us, everything we need to heal. There is nowhere to go, nothing to strive for, only an allowing, a returning to our essential Self. We are designed to be whole. I love the words below by B.J. Palmer, describing this power we have within us.

We chiropractors work with the subtle substance of the soul. We release the imprisoned impulse, the tiny rivulet of force, that emanates from the mind and flows over the nerves to the cells, and stirs them into life.

We deal with the magic power that transforms common food into living, loving, thinking clay; that robes the earth with beauty, and hues and scents the flowers with the glory of the air.

In the dim, dark, distant long ago, when the sun first bowed to the morning star, this power spoke and there was life; it quickened the slime of the sea and the dust of the earth and drove the cell to union with its fellows in countless living forms. Through eons of time it finned the fish and winged the bird and fanged the beast. Endlessly it worked, evolving its form until it produced the crowning glory of them all. With tireless energy it blows the bubble of each individual life and then silently, relentlessly dissolves the form, and absorbs the spirit into itself again.

And yet you ask, can Chiropractic cure appendicitis or the flu? Have you more faith in a knife or a spoonful of medicine than in the power that animates the living world?
