Always Show Kindness

-



One of the best ways that we can go about increasing our Spiritual and Social Wellness is to do something nice for someone else.  This also applies to doing something good for our animal brothers and sisters.  I read a short article in the January 2017 edition of Natural Awakenings, about a group of monks that freed live lobsters.  I couldn’t help but share this, as it made me reflect on the importance of offering the same level of compassion to all living things, not just our fellow man.  
A group from the Great Enlightenment Buddhist Institute Society that live on Prince Edward’s Island in Canada, set about recently to buy as many lobsters as they could find at a local fish market.  They then chartered a boat, took the lobster out into the Atlantic Ocean, and freed the fortunate little guys and gals.  It was reported that they offered up a brief prayer before carrying out the act of kindness.  One of the monks, Victoria Fun, stated after the event that “It’s rethinking the way you normally see these creatures.  Their happiness is as important as your happiness, their suffering is as important as your suffering.”
Now I’m not saying you have to go out and free lobster, but certainly doing kind things for our animal friends and family can go a long way in making us into a better version of ourselves.  In order to create the Wellness Revolution, we must begin to see things much differently than our current mindset in modern society.  Let’s take the lead in creating a much healthier, and happier, world for everyone.  Always show compassion, and never be afraid of demonstrating love for all living things. Doing this on a regular basis is a solid approach to building upon Spiritual Wellness.  

In Wellness and Love,

Why Do Spinal Problems Sometime Return After Treatment?

Why Spinal Problems Often Return Chiropractic skeptics often pooh-pooh the idea of periodic chiropractic checkups after symptoms subside with the classic, “If it’s not broke, don’t fix it” line. This justification often results in a relapse into the original problem for countless patients. How come? Because biomechanical changes along the spine affecting nerves and muscles don’t heal like a cut, infection or some other self-resolving health condition. Addressing Long Lasting Problems By the time spinal problems produce obvious symptoms, the problem has been there for some time—maybe even decades. Yet the symptom didn’t emerge until “last week, when I bent down to pick up the paper.” Thankfully, a chiropractic care plan may produce symptomatic improvement in a matter of months, sometimes weeks. The patient is delighted, but we haven’t completed the retraining of the underlying muscles and soft tissues necessary for lasting spinal changes. That’s w

Fun Facts About Our Senses

You guys know I love my fun facts about the human body and how we function.   Keeping with this tradition, here are a few more for your reading pleasure!   And seriously, as fun as it is, it’s important to learn about the things that make us all truly amazing, from the inside out.   Funny how regular Chiropractic care works to increase health and Wellness from the Inside Out as well! Did you know that children have approximately 10,000 taste buds?  Thing is, as we age the number of taste buds naturally decreases.  This accounts for the natural loss of some taste as we get older. A person that has no ability to smell is referred to as anosmic. Each fingertip has approximately 100 touch receptors. If you were born with one eye, the world would appear as 2-Dimensional. Your sense of smell is 20,000 times stronger than your sense of taste. Females have more taste buds than males.  Education is the key to growth! The more you know and understand about your body, the more yo
