Adapted from "How Do You Remove The Darkness From a Room?"
Easy question, eh?
The answer is totally obvious. In
fact, I’ll bet you didn’t even hesitate with your response. The answer, of course, is that you turn on a
light! But notice something very
interesting and important about your answer.
You didn’t really remove the darkness.
Instead, you added light. And, as
you add light, darkness automatically leaves because darkness and light can’t
exist in the same place at the same time.
While we understand and accept this to be true about darkness
and light, most of us have never applied this concept to other areas of our
lives. This principle of adding (or
creating) what we do want, instead of focusing on eliminating or preventing
what we don't want is universally effective in bringing us to where we want to
be. It is simple really, when you fill a
space with one thing, it must displace whatever was there before!
Here is another example.
If you are stressed out and you would rather be in a peaceful state of
mind, begin creating peace. That is, do
things that actively and progressively produce peace, and as peace comes,
stress will automatically leave - just as when we add light, darkness
leaves! If you are spending the majority
of your time thinking, saying and doing things that bring you and those around
you peace, there will be very little time left for you to be stressed. Mother Theresa understood this principle and
applied it to every area of her own life.
She was once asked if she would participate in a protest march against
the Vietnam War. She replied, “No, but
if you have a march for peace, let me know.”
Remember, when we fill a space with one thing, it must displace whatever
was there before.
Upper cervical care is all about applying this concept to your
health. Many people spend large amounts
of time, energy and money trying to get rid of their pain and illnesses. But, in a very real way, we can add light to
this situation as well, rather than trying to remove the darkness. You have inside of you a powerful life force
that runs, regulates, heals and grows your body. We call this your innate intelligence. When this principle is fully expressed or,
“turned on,” it is like turning on a light inside of you that displaces any darkness (sickness/pain) that was there before.
You see, your innate intelligence is a principle of life – it always knows what to
do to keep you running at your highest level, including healing you when you’re
sick. But, we in upper cervical care do not
actually focus on healing you, we simply seek to make sure the power that runs your body – your light – is on.
Then, your innate intelligence goes to work healing you.
We accomplish this by giving what is called an upper cervical correction that helps establish a more complete neurological connection between your
brain and your body and allow your innate intelligence to again flow freely to all of
your cells. That's it! That’s all upper cervical care is about. It’s about making sure that the
health-producing power inside you has a chance to do its best to move you
progressively toward optimal health, happiness and the full expression of your
potential and your purpose in life!
So, if you, your family or your friends have been frustrated
by continually trying to remove darkness (disease), maybe it’s time to take a
different approach – maybe it’s time to turn on your light and watch the
darkness just fade away.
