A subluxation is a state of less than light expression or less than 100% expression of life. If our body is not able to process a certain event (force) at any given time, it stores the force as a Subluxation. A subluxation is a force stored in the body, changing the expression of who we are and our ability to perform at our optimal level.
How do you feel when someone tells you, “I Love You”, or “I Hate You”, or “You’re beautiful”. Did those words affect your being? Did you feel better or worse? So, tones/words (music) can alter the expression/organization of objects. A high pitch (music) can shatter a wine glass, an increase in vibration (music) can create heat in water and when the water’s music is decreased - it turns to ice. When you twist your ankle, smash your finger, spend all day typing or sleep wrong, does this affect who you are afterwards? What about after having too much alcohol, coffee or soda, or eating too much junk food? So, emotional, physical and chemical forces can affect who we are. Subluxations can be gently released by shifting the potential energy (energy at rest) into kinetic energy (moving energy) which allows your body to integrate the force. The beauty is once you integrate the stored energy (subluxation), your body learns and grows, eliminating the need to experience that same subluxation again. Every subluxation adjusted contributes to the growth of your consciousness and your body’s ability to heal, grow, evolve and perform at the highest level.
TIC is Transmitting Innate Constantly. A chiropractor who is aware of innate intelligence, acknowledges innate intelligence and works with innate intelligence is a chiropracTOR and practices chiropracTIC. TIC is the chiropractor communicating with your body and delivering what your body is asking of the chiropractor. TIC is understanding that all processes take time and everyone processes differently, thus no limitations (good or bad) will be placed on anyone. TIC is providing adjustments of light, which is life. TIC is serving from the heart, without fear of rejection and ego. TIC is the essence of chiropractic which is the essence of LIFE. Education is one of the most important aspects of TIC. The Café of Life at Port Moody holds Life Talks which deals with Understanding Symptoms, Laws of Nature and The Intelligence of the Universe.
What goes on during an Adjustment?
An adjustment is given when there is a subluxation. The adjustment is given with just enough force to release the subluxation with the goal and intention of your body learning how to "adjust" itself with breath, movement and daily activities. If I were to teach you how to do a jigsaw puzzle, I would not do the whole thing myself and just have you watch. I want you to learn how to start and complete the puzzle by yourself, so I will show you how to start with corner pieces and build from there. So, by putting in just enough force to release the subluxation, you body can learn how to deal with the subluxation by itself. Evolutionary adjustments, to live, grow and learn!
A subluxation is stored stress/energy in the body. Energy which is stored is called potential energy. Therefore, there are subluxations/potential energy within all of us, ready to be released. Releasing subluxation is like pushing a boulder down a mountain. The boulder in figure A represents stored energy/a subluxation and notice how the boulder is sitting right on the edge of the hill, all it would take is a slight touch and the ball would begin rolling downhill. The boulder in figure B is sitting back on a flat part and it will take much more energy to get it moving. This is the concept behind the adjustments given at the Café of Life. Different levels of force are used because forces are stored in different tissues of the body. If energy is stored in soft connective tissue (ligaments, tendons, etc.) a light touch is usually used because of the density of soft connective tissue. Whereas, energy stored in osseous tissue (vertebra) usually requires a heavier force just as in figure B.
What are the Side Effects of the Adjustment?
Ever notice the side effects of a widely used drug like Tylenol? Renal Failure, ulcers, blindness from kidney disease, thin blood, and the list goes on. Chiropractic adjustments have side effects as well; symptomatic relief of physiological problems, better sleep, and just about anything your body is dealing with. The beauty is, these are the side effects (not the intention of the adjustment), the direct effect of an adjustment is reconnection to Life-Force. Life-Force is the force behind all our bodies functions, it drives the brain, the blood and ALL healing.
Do you have to go forever/Is it addictive?
Wellness is a choice. Enhancing or redefining your diet and/or exercise can provide tremendous benefits for your personal wellbeing. However, the energy put into diet/exercise has a direct effect on the outcome. Chiropractic is no different than changing to a healthier diet or committing to more physical activity, these things require time and effort. Chiropractic provides Core Healing and an increase in Life Force. The more energy/effort/commitment given to yourself and the adjustment equals a greater impact and life altering experience. Just like working out or doing Yoga, you can stop getting adjusted. Not getting adjusted simply means Life Force has the possibility of being obstructed and less than 100% Life expression.
Life is addictive. Anyone who has a desire to live is addicted to life. Bursts of Life are what extreme sports enthusiasts chase. The sport becomes addictive and they are always looking for something bigger and better than before. Chiropractic provides Life Force through the adjustment. Providing a longer-lasting, grounding, un-obstructed flow of Life Force - tapped right from you!
