Harvesting the Light

Kevin Donka, DC recently stated: “How do you remove the darkness from a room? 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. This principle of adding (or creating) what we DO want, instead of trying to eliminate or prevent 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!”

If you want to be a healthier person, start there.  Begin by displacing your unhealthy thoughts with healthy ones.  Pray more.  Get checked more often.  Start a healthy eating plan (not a diet).  Begin exercising.  Replace your Coke a day habit with an extra glass of water per day.  Same for that Cup O’ Joe habit.  If you are afraid you’ll gain twenty pounds if you quit smoking, do 10 push-ups and 10 sit-ups every time you have a cigarette craving, instead of lighting up.  Simply add more light to your day.

Better yet, picture yourself getting adjusted each time one of those negative health choices pops up.  Picture yourself lying down on the table, feel that feeling of no worries for that time period.  Experience the gifted hands of a Chiropractor on your spine, Feel their fingers checking your spine.  Get that ticklish feeling when the scanner rolls up your neck.  Take that long, deep breath with every touch.  Breathe the life in after having your atlas adjusted….ahhh.  Take a moment afterward and feel the difference in your body.

Folks who are adjusted regularly in our office are always telling us how they “naturally” felt it was time to “begin and exercise program” or start eating better, or that it was “time to quit smoking.”  That’s what happens when you add light, the darkness is automatically removed.

We’re harvesting light in the office this month.  Come on down and have your lights turned on!!  Bring your family and friends to.  We’ll make it a light party.
