Living with eyes wide open means that we remove the blinders (see last post, “blinders”http://drmatthewmix.wordpress.com/2012/07/23/blinders/). It can be a little frightening, opening your eyes to everything that is available, thereby living in a “different” world. Obviously we all live in the same world, yet we experience this world differently based on how we choose to experience it. Not many understand this, and not many realize that they have ever made a choice on how to experience their world.
Choose to open your eyes to everything. This means that you will see the brokenness in this world, and you will see the love as well. There are both sides to humanity, and it is necessary to know, if we are to be healthy individuals living life without limitations…blinders being a huge limitation to who you will become. In your quest to see everything for what it is, let me give you a suggestion of where to start. For there is an elephant in the halls that no one seems to want to talk about and that is your immune system.
You immune system is the most valuable possession, and therefore should be where you spend your time, energy, and money. You should protect your immune system like nothing else. Your life depends on your immune system, and if you really live with your eyes wide open, you will see that there are attacks to your immune system daily that need attention.
Have you ever seen horse blinders? At Mardi Gras time, almost every horse has them. The goal is to keep the horse focused on the path in front…directly in front of the horse. The other goal is to not allow distractions from the people on the outside. Unfortunately, situations on the sides need to be seen.
I’m going to say something that you really need to be ready for. Based on the people who I come into contact on a regular basis….and it matters not which country I am in. I have been in the poorest of countries, and the best of neighborhoods, and I see massive blinding. So here is the blinding that is hurting your health:
The fundamental incorrect belief that you need pills, lotions, and other “stuff” to be healthy.
Let that sink in for a little bit. Then ask yourself whether or not you are happy with your current level of health.
There is a better way. All healing happens inside. You don’t need a thing to be healthy….you just need no interruption to the naturally healthy you.
See www.adjustchiro.com for more information. Take off the blinders now, your health depends on it.
It’s interesting how we change to suit our environment. This inborn ability to adapt and change is seen in animals easily, like when a lizard changes color to suit its background. Our change is not so obvious, however it does happen. When it’s cold outside, for example, our skin texture literally changes. We call it a cute name, like “goose bumps”, however it’s an extraordinary way our body keeps us warm. Another change is when we stay in the water too long, and our hands start to wrinkle up. Imagine if all the water in the bath would just leach into your body! What a massive, terrible effect this would have on your ability to control your inner balance.
To think that some adaptations as these are good, and others are bad, and in need of our intervention constantly amazes me. How do you know what the temperature your body needs to be when fighting a harmful invader to your system? Yet, at the first sign of a “high” temperature, we take our children straight to the emergency room!
I love the fact that I don’t have to know what my temperature needs to be. I also don’t know what my blood pressure should be at any given time. All I need to know is that I have the power to heal. I have a clear nerve system that keeps all my processes of my body functioning perfectly. I just need to not get in the way with thoughts of how the body should and shouldn’t be working. If I can do that, I will be everything I am supposed to be, per my Innate’s discretion.
I have a 2-year-old son that likes to constantly talk. You really have to be careful what you say around the house. I was watching the Yankees play the Red Sox this weekend, and as usual, I like to get “involved” in the game. The new word my son picked up on was: “terrible”. The rest of the afternoon he was trying to figure out the true definition of the word. You could hear him using it in sentences, and then looking to my wife and I for approval. When we disagreed with what he thought was “terrible”, he would move on to another context of the word. It took him about 5 different tries, and a couple of minutes until he had nailed it. He was then able to call out “terrible” after every missed Yankee opportunity, the climax being when Derek Jeter missed a easy pop-fly!
It amazes me watching the little guy think. Then I realized this:
We, as human beings, are born with an inborn need to figure stuff out. We want to understand.
This need is built into our beings. I call it our Innate craving. We all crave the same basic things in life. The strongest of these is the Innate crave to survive. Luckily for you, your Innate Intelligence is very good at helping you survive.
And also luckily for you, Chiropractic’s sole purpose is to free up your Innate Intelligence, so that your Innate can do its job!
I see this understanding among people that get great results while under chiropractic care. It’s the understanding that symptoms will come and go, however as long as we do the right things, we will get the right results. These are the people that get the best results, and the results stick.
They are not worried about the ups and downs of what they feel. They understand the principle of health and healing, and they are not afraid of the little bumps along the way.
The principle of health and healing is this:
All healing happens by way of an Innate Intelligence that is in you. There is an intelligence within you that is responsible for keeping you healthy, and healing you when necessary. There is no human being that could ever know what your innate intelligence knows. Chiropractors simply remove the interference from this inner intelligence, thus allowing it to work without interference. When this happens, your Innate Intelligence is able to do it’s job, without interference.
