"Listen to the Bigness of the Fellow Within" is the title of a pivotal book by a fellow chiropractor, BJ Palmer from 1949. I read it early in my career and it led me to ask more questions than it answered. To summarize, it’s about the remarkable intelligence that we do not fully understand, nor when we ponder, can we really grasp. As stated, "Behind the Universe is a Universal Intelligence which has directed its functions in millions of ways for millions of years. It follows a definite pattern which never varies, each to its kind and form." (1) As Wiki notes from another excerpt of volume 22, … [Read more...]
What if we ran our day on inspiration?
What if we ran our day on inspiration? Being "in-spirit". Being fully present with what is. Fully present and loving each moment? Would we see our day through a different lens Would we feel different? How would we act? When we are fully present and inspired, we lose track of time and space.

We may have glimpses of our … [Read more...]
Routines and instinct…part 1 of 2
Ever consider how much you run your day on reflex? At the extreme, reflex is the coordinated response with a result from the body at the survival level, it's instantaneous. Step on a tack on the floor and your body is responding before you are fully aware of what has happened. Reflexes protect us from immediate harm. As a child, we initially had to expend a coordinated effort in learning tasks. We learned how to walk, jump, brush our teeth, write numbers and our name. We repeated these things until the skills were developed and became a habit. Initially we had to think a lot about how to do a … [Read more...]
Running on Reflex
Ever wondered how much we run our day on reflex? I call reflex the ongoing habits to which we are not cognitively mindful. We get up, usually the same way to perform the same routines in getting ready for our day which was much like the day before. Yet we expect something different. Reflexes do not involve much effort in thinking because they're automatic, hence reflex. At the extreme, the reflex is the coordinated response with a result from the body, it's instantaneous, step on a tack on the floor and your body is responding before you are fully aware of what has happened. We may have … [Read more...]
