How much more can you release?

 

 

Time to ENERGIZE ๐Ÿ’ฅ

 

Top of the morning to you, sunshine! Thank you for opening this message ๐Ÿ’•

 

Releasing and relaxing is SUCH an important part of a healing process. And these are HIGHLY sought after states in our society in this day and age (and with good reason!)

 

Just yesterday a had a new client on her second visit tell me something that I hear from people all the time:

 

“I don’t think I’ve actually relaxed in years. Maybe not ever. I don’t think I even knew how to” (until trying Network Spinal care with me!)

 

How could something so natural become so foreign to us?

 

Listen to me. I’ve been out of school for 12 years now.

 

And yet I STILL to this day HAVE DREAMS about needing to finish just one more final exam week (where I also, of course, then realize that I’ve been registered for a class that I’ve never attended! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ™)

 

Also, despite the fact that I took the time and energy to set up my life and business in a way that works for me and the future I desire– with no commute (just walking downstairs!), in a lovely town, in beautiful surroundings, smelling essential oils all day, and being with the BEST people (of course!)– I still, at times, find ways to make this situation stressful ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

 

It is DEEPLY ENGRAINED within us, from a very young age usually, that it is NOT SAFE to rest and relax.

 

And it is only when we begin to experience this relaxation (scheduling it in!), especially on that deep nervous system level that occurs with Network Spinal care, that we can even hope to do any releasing and healing.

 

Some of you reading this are newer to Network Spinal, New Day, and this care process, and you might be starting to get the benefits and are feeling excited about the future.

 

Some of you might also be looking around, especially when you notice that there are some bright souls who’ve been coming around New Day for months and years, and you might be wondering if there is an end-point to this process ๐Ÿ˜…

 

Is there an end-game here? Are we ever done releasing??

I’m going to say something that might be a tad controversial in the “healing industry.”

 

Sometimes what we might need to release is our concept that we have more to release ๐Ÿ˜Š

 

Hear me out!

 

Yes, there may be things to release at all different points in a meaningful and transforming life.

 

But we humans are not just passive repositories for old wounding.

 

It’s not like you’re just sitting there in your body, a multi-roomed warehouse chock full of every bad thing that ever happened to you.

 

For that to be true, there would have to be no energy and no intelligence in the body and in the universe (more on this in a second).

 

You would also need to be highly dependent on ME and my care as the key ingredient for you to function normally in life!

 

Your nervous system, and the energy and information running through it, is actually the active ingredient to you not only being able to rest and release, but to you being able to EXPERIENCE YOURSELF as a connected, energized, healing, meaning-making machine โœจโœจโœจ

 

Chiropractic is actually an inherently spiritual (read: non-mechanistic, non-reductionistic) philosophy in that it pre-supposes that there is a connection in all things.

 

Don’t worry, it’s not a religion or something! Feel free to be religious, or not religious as you see fit!

 

Thinking of yourself and life as inherently interconnected, prone to health, energy, and aliveness, and happening for a reason should hopefully come as a relief ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜Š

 

Deepak Chopra, in Quantum Healing, really said it best when he said that a belief in separation and “randomness”– separate body parts, separate diseases, separate people and cultures, life as a string of senseless difficulties to overcome– IS INHERENTLY STRESSFUL.

 

 

My not-so-secret goal for you is that you come to know yourself, more and more, as a bright and vibrant, connected, energized, healing, and meaning-making machine; in the way that only YOU can be โœจ๐ŸŒ€๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’ฅโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒ

 

Me, my care, Network Spinal, and New Day are not the gate-keepers to you having an experience of yourself as all of that. There are MANY paths to encourage you to discover yourself and live your life this way!

 

I provide a tool. I provide a space. I provide a process and a practice. I provide insight and encouragement. I facilitate a community focused on all of this. And you are meant to weave what I offer into your life as you see fit.

 

Now, I may also be biased. But I also think that one of the reasons my form of care is particularly great is that there is more on the menu than releasing and relaxing. Much more!

 

When you energize and connect with the inherent connection and intelligence that you ARE (through your nervous system, body, and focus) releasing becomes irrelevant ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ

 

When you can be, do, and serve MORE in life, the version of you that thought that you needed to keep releasing, relaxing, and otherwise fixing yourself simply evaporates โ˜€๏ธ #newaffirmations #ireleasereleasing

 

 

Check this out.

 

Donny Epstein, creator of Network Spinal care and his breathwork modality Somato Respiratory Integration (SRI), wrote a book called “The 12 Stages of Healing.”

 

You may have never read the book (and you don’t necessarily have to), but this theory about there being 12 main “stages” or experiences in the transformed life is a central part of the care that I do with you every week (and in the Focused Breath workshop) ๐ŸŒ€โœจ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’—

 

ONLY 3– the first 3 of the 12 stages– pertain AT ALL to relaxing and releasing! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

 

This means that the 8 other experiences/stages/access points for healing and transformation fall into the realm of energizing, accessing, and expanding. AKA YOU being, doing, and serving in your families and communities AS MORE ๐Ÿ’ฅ

 

The Focused Breath workshop with me gives you an opportunity to specifically tune in to these 12 stages/experiences/access points.

 

At the workshop on Saturday, we will specifically be focusing on stages 4-12 and the many flavors of transformation and awakening that you can access through your body, breath, and nervous system! ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ

 

If this is speaking to you, THERE IS STILL SPACE FOR YOU! Register now, and join me and some of the other movers and shakers of New Day here on Saturday morning ๐Ÿ’›

 

And, if you can’t go, keep it in mind for next time. I have seen this workshop be a pivotal experience for many sunshines of this community, and something that helps them transition to getting even more out of their experience of care with me and outside the office.

 

Thank you for staying connected, and I look forward to seeing you this week, next week, and beyond ๐Ÿ’–
