Mind

Chiropractic philosophy believes that there is a universal intelligence that guides the growth and development of all living organisms, a life force. This life force is known as innate intelligence.

An example is the miracle of birth. From the moment fertilization takes place, innate intelligence is in motion guiding the formation of the fetus in the womb and unerringly knows what to do at exactly the right time, provided there is no interference.

After the first few weeks, the developmental process becomes so complicated that there is need for a coordinating and central controlling system. At this point, innate intelligence creates the nervous system to answer this need. At the fifth and sixth weeks of development, the skeleton begins to form, the arms and legs appear as tiny buds under the direction and control of the brain and nervous system. Every week, until week 28, the fetus will continue to grow and thrive as long as there is no interference such as the mother smoking, drinking, taking drugs / medication and other activities that disrupts the fetus’ normal development.

After birth, the brain and the nervous system carries on with its duties, directing and controlling the rest of the body in the outer environment. Yes, there is within every living thing, an innate intelligence, which if allowed to express itself without interference, will accomplish at exactly the right time, every time, its purpose for living.

Look around you; plants grow to the light, animals and humans seek the light. Gaining lightness, energy, vitality, joy, harmony, and balance in life is essential for us to thrive. Conversely, we avoid darkness, heaviness, dys-function, conflict, disease, loneliness, and discord.

The body goes where the mind takes it. Remove the subluxations in your mind (negative thinking), the subluxations in your spine (dis-eases), the subluxations in your heart (hatred, bitterness, resentment) and you will restore the flow of life force (vitality) that is your birthright.
