It seems that every day we’re finding out more about the human brain and body. For example, according to quantum physics, did you know that our bodies appear and disappear at such a high frequency that we seem completely solid? Brain waves have been studied for many years now with the advent of the EEG or Electro Encephalograph. This means …
Karen was in this past week for her regular visit. She noted that she was coming towards the end of her initial phase of care and that she felt like the reason that she had come in for, pain in her hips, hadn’t gotten much better. In fact, she remarked, her hips were hurting more lately. I had been noticing …
I was talking with a friend recently about the ongoing troubles in Ottawa, and how he’s been feeling sad, frustrated, angry and helpless. Sometimes we may feel like curling up into a ball. Or sometimes we may feel like punching a hole in the wall. Our bodies can feel so full of emotion at times, it can feel overwhelming. With …
Health and prosperity is what we wish for ourselves and for others as the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve. It has become a time of reflection: looking back at the year that has passed and looking forward to a new year of change. For most of us what underpins this reflection is taking perspective and our continuous search …
Karen was in the other day and after her session, we talked about what she noticed and what I found her body doing. I told her that many of the tension patterns that our bodies hold are due to the way we go about our lives. One such pattern is “being stuck in the past”. Another one is “being in …
Throughout the last two plus years, I’ve heard and seen some things that to me have been completely unbelievable. I don’t think it matters who you are or where you live on this planet, we’ve been experiencing life as a species in a way that we have never faced before. Even if you consider that there have been other pandemics …
Over the years I’ve heard many patients say to me things like: “My mother had a bad back and her mother before her.” Or “I have adult onset diabetes and it seems to run in my family.” It turns out that only around 5% of all disease is purely genetic. The rest of the 95% is influenced by your environment. …
The first time I ever heard that the body has an inner intelligence was when I was in Chiropractic school. Up until then I really hadn’t given it much thought. I was going about my days fairly healthy, trying to avoid getting sick. But instead I could have been going about my days focusing on being healthier. I continued on …
This week I’d like to take a look at another key element when it comes to health. From what I can observe in our culture, we tend to think and work in health care in terms of compartments. It’s important to have specialists, don’t get me wrong. However I think that thinking of the body as separate from the mind …
It is the time when people typically wish one another a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. I thought I’d share with you a perspective that makes a distinction between luck and prosperity. To me luck is a random happening. Yes sometimes you can get on a roll but at the same time you can have dry spells. There is …
