Bliss and Vacation Time

In developing techniques to help people, I noticed that they usually just appear. I am so grateful that I am in a position to allow creativity to happen while I do my work. I am also very grateful that I have clients that pretty much just goes with it and give me feedback to help it out.

This latest technical application of my new technique (I know, big words) has opened up some great feedback. I really think I am on to something great.

One person said that they felt like they were on vacation. Another said that they kept getting more and more relaxed as I did my work. Most people just lie there after I am done and enjoy the feeling. Another person had a very wild conversation with a Tasmanian devil that climbed off of her. Wow!

What I think that I have discovered is a way to find areas where people are out of touch with God. By bringing these areas back to balance by adjustment, I believe that we unlock a state of peace and bliss.

The first time I do the technique with someone, it generally takes 6 - 7 cycles to take them to balance. The next time it is 2-3 cycles.

Thank you everyone who has helped me to develop this. Any ideas for naming it?

A Second Chance

I read this today and I was touched. This comes from the Oscar winning speech of the Best Song co-author. She actually was brought back after they inadvertently cut her off. This is unheard of in the Oscars, but her speech probably made more news because of it. Funny how the Universe works. Anyway, here is what she said...

"The fact that we're standing here tonight, the fact that we're able to hold this, it's just proof that no matter how far out your dreams are, it's possible," Irglova said during take two. "And, you know, fair play to those who dare to dream, and don't give up. This song was written from the perspective of hope, and hope, at the end of the day, connects us all, no matter how different we are."

I like it. I find this very inspiring. Hope and faith and dreams!!!

Love Is All There Is

I started using a new focus on my adaptation technique last week and it opened up a layering effect that I found very interesting.

First, I cleared and balanced the nerve system. Next, I focus "love" into the system. This creates an imbalance when there is a challenge with adapting to love. I adjust back to balance and focus more "love" into the system. More imbalance happens.

So here is my theory...

In my opinion, God is love. When you have a problem seeing God in everything, you get out of balance. Think about it for a moment. Faith neutralizes fear. When God is with you, you have no need to fear. The technique seems to take a person out of fight or flight by reconnecting them to God.

When I am sending love (or God energy) to you and you go out of balance, I bring awareness to the imbalance by applying a light adjustment. This wakes up your mind and puts focus on it, and you reset your balance.

If love is all there is, I might be on to something.

I look forward to sharing this new level of care with you in the future.

The 100 Year Lifestyle

I have heard recently of a book called The 100 Year Lifestyle by Dr. Eric Plasker. Actually, I listened to an interview of Dr. Plasker, a chiropractor, when he described the book and the concept of the 100 year lifestyle. This is important stuff, so I thought that I would share.

We'll start with some facts...

• We have a longevity crisis in America
• Right now there are 55,000 people over the age of 100 in the United States.
• At the time these people were born, their life expectancy was 50 years old.
• By the time the baby boomers get there, there will be 4.2 million people over the age of 100 with 60 million people over the age of 80.
• The biggest fear of people that are growing older is to be crippled, broke or alone.
• When you ask an actor to play like they are old, the first thing they do is hunch over to simulate a decaying, old, broken down spine and nerve system.

Here is the question...
If you knew that you were going to live to 100, how would you change your life so that you don't get there crippled, broke or alone, but you get there in style?

Now that we know that we will probably live longer than we thought, what is our generation, our children and our grandchildren... If you knew that you were going to live this long, when do you think is a good time to start taking care of your spine?

Do you think that your aging parent or grandparents, if they could go back 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 years, if they knew that they were going to live this long, what would they have done differently? Would they have waited until their discs completely deteriorated? Would they have waited until they had nerve pressure that was causing all types of hormonal and chemical imbalance in the body before they started taking care of their spine? Would they have waited until they looked in the mirror and saw their posture hunched over where they said, "God I look old" to start taking care of their spine?

Many of you have started to get hints from your spine and nerve system. Many of you have had episodes of pain or nerve system imbalance in the form of stress, headaches, digestive disturbances, heart palpitations, and the list goes on and on.

Don't be motivated by crisis. Don't wait until you have a major blow out in your health that you barely survive to start to take action to get well. Be motivated by quality of life. Start taking action now to ensure your continued quality of living. This is key. This is how you impact your life in a positive way. Which motivation makes sense to you?

Breaking Through

This weekend I participated in the Breakthrough Experience. Wow!!

The voice is an amazing way to breakthrough your stuff. Here is kind of what it is all about. I understand that it is a personal experience, so it is really different for everyone...

Singing is a way to totally express your joy and love for life. Another way to put this is that it is a way to shine your godliness. This is why it is such a shifting process to go through. Any time that you bring out your best, you must grow and shift. It is not really about singing great (whatever that is), but it is about going all out and shining bright.

So this is what I got from this weekend for myself.

The song that I was given is a Joe Cocker cover of My Love Is Alive. In order to really belt this rocking song out, I had to stand in my power. What I mean is that I needed to let the power of myself channel through my voice. I must say that this is a very uncomfortable place for me. I understand that I have a great deal of power, however, for me there tends to be some shame in being powerful. When I reflect on this a little deeper, I recognize that I have not been celebrating the power of my work. There are miracles that happen every week, sometimes every day, in my office, under my hands, and I treat it so matter of factly.

For instance, there was a little girl who came in a got adjusted once and her allergies went away. This is miraculous. What does medicine have to offer this kid? The truth is that I was not treating the girl for allergies. I was caring for her and her body healed. Miraculous!! People come in for care and they sleep better, they have a brighter outlook on life, their attitude shifts, they smile more, their digestion improves, and yes, their pain goes away. We're saving lives here and I have been just hohumming it as if it is no big deal. It is a big deal and I am so grateful. This weekend opened me up to get excited about the miracles again!!!

So what would you get out of something like this? I have no idea, but any time that you stretch into expressing your joy and love, great things happen. I highly recommend that you go on this journey with me next time. Thank you Mick and Tess and all of my other Breakthrough Buddies. You Rock!!!

Opportunity

From Evan Almighty ... God, "Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?"

God has given me many opportunities as of late to be a leader, to trust, to appreciate life. It is not always easy to be confronted with these "opportunities." If you have not noticed, most of God's opportunities are meant to help you grow into yourself. Growth is not exactly a comfortable thing. In fact, is growth ever comfortable?

I look at Evan and I have to believe that growth does not always have to be uncomfortable. I have been observing her figuring things out, walking about, working with words and communication. Maybe what makes it so nice for her to grow is two parents applauding her as she tries different things and picking her up and holding her when she falls. We encourage our children to grow. Do we as a society stop encouraging each other to grow or do we just forget how to recognize encouragement from others? Maybe God's "opportunities" are encouragement. After all, He/She is just trying to help us get what we want. Huh?

I don't think that I have ever been as clear as to what I want in life. Evan has definitely improved my focus and drive. Many of the things that are coming at me right now are very challenging in deed. I have been on the verge of complete overwhelm and have almost given up several times. But I always go back to faith. I mean, wow, the bigness of it all. Anything is possible. In fact there is an ocean of possibilities that are within reach. Some of these possibilities seem negative, some seem very positive. I focus on the best possible outcomes and work towards allowing those to happen. This is what it's all about; focus, trust and movement.

So, stuff happens. I believe that it is all in the direction of my growth. It is God's attempt to bring out the best in me. And so I continue, with hand on heart and joy in my eyes.

I tried the alternative to this. It wasn't much fun.

Staying Connected

The Bigness of the Universe is an amazing thing. Everything is within it. It is a pool of endless supply. God (the Universe) is everywhere, in everything, in everyone. The only thing that we are here to do is wake up to this fact and dance (create) in the glory of this truth.

With something so big and so wonderful, how do we get so lost from It? How do we lose our connection? I think that it all comes down to fear. I believe that hell can only happen when we forget our Source. It happens when we lose our perspective of a loving, supportive Energy Field that wants the best for us.

I know that lately I have been getting a bit more metaphysical on this blog. I have been exploring the nature of God and our relationship to all that is. I often shied away from such talk, but now I embrace it. Truth is Truth. Speaking of this Truth helps me to cement it in my mind and ground it in my soul. I shall no longer fear as long as I am aware of and know my connection with God.

I have started to read these books by Wallace Wattles; The Science of Being Rich and The Science of Being Great. They have been a great help in focusing me to the oneness of the Universe. Just being reminded of this fact has helped me immensely to stand without fear. Basically, we are surrounded by a thinking substance that is where everything comes from. As we impress a thought upon this substance, the thought manifests into our reality. Holding the thought and taking fight action is what gets us anything that we could ever want. All is perfect in this world. The only thing that is wrong (at times) is my own personal attitude.

I highly recommend these old books (both published originally in 1911). They have been reprinted lately because of their inspiring of The Secret.

Youth from Within

I am really surprised how fast the new book is coming out. I have almost completed the section on eating. It is over 21 pages and should be done within a week.

I guess that blogging really healps me put it together. I have noticed some limitations, but who cares. As long as I can get it done.

The new book is called, Youth from Within. I should be completely done with it in about 2 months or so. Woo Hoo!

I am selling each chapter as they come up. The introduction and first chapter on the theory of how you can slow, stop and reverse the rate of aging, and restore your health, will be free.

Be Careful Where You Focus

I came to a realization this morning about my focus (I love these Ah Ha moments). What I came to see is that I have been focusing on everything happening right now. Actually, it has been more like EVERYTHING HAS TO HAPPEN RIGHT NOW!!!!

I wondered, "What is the Universe hearing?" I found that the Universe is hearing desperation and impatience. This must be the interpretation. So what has the Universe done? Sent me more to be desperate and impatient about.

The control of the mind can be a challenge. In fact, it's really our only challenge. When we master our mind, we master our world.

I guess that one of the keys to working with the Universe is to treat the Universe how you would want to be treated. If you would like love from the Universe, give love. If you want more of something, be grateful and appreciative for what you have.

It is an amazing thing how literal the Universe is.

The Basis of Chiropractic

The main goal in the Chiropractic of the past (and the now) is to reconnect the Spirit to the body. It is the true definition of a mind-body practice.

Think about it. Our life experiences happen through or nerve system. All that we see, all that we hear, all that we feel, all that we do happens through our nerve system. This is also where our best self-expresses itself through; the God in you.

So, this God Energy flows through you through your nerve system. If it is allowed to do this, you express fully your total potential. You are healthy. You are happy. Life is awesome.

Where we get into trouble is when we experience interference in our nerve system that turns down our ability to express fully.

There are two major areas where we get interference in our nerve system; Subluxation in our spine and confusion between our ears. Chiropractors sole purpose is to remove the interference in your spine and address the causes in your lifestyle that are creating the subluxations.

By getting the nerve system cleared up in your spine, your mind clears up some as well.
I like to think of an adjustment as clearing the nerve system in such a way that it gives the practice member the opportunity to do something differently. Changing one thought, one behavior, one position in your spine can change your world and mine.

Ah, The Writer I've Become

I sit back in amazement at the volumes that I have written.

I was thinking the other day about what I really liked to do as a child. I can remember that I was really into creating and expressing. I remember writing a book with a friend when I think we were about 7. It was the story of a haunted house. I sang a lot growing up and took up guitar at age 10. Guitar for me has always been a creative outlet. I never really learned many songs in the last 30 years or so. I just play. Writing has become like this for me now, only with a little more structure than when I am playing an instrument.

One thing I remember vividly is how I used to stare at the ceiling and focus on the stucco. Forms would turn into pictures. This was always interesting to me and I never really knew what it meant or if there was any really meaning to it at all. That was until I went on a walk about 10 years or so ago with a Native American mentor of mine. During that time of just getting away from the city and all of my worries this ability became very pronounced. At night while the group sat around the fire, we would take turns talking. As each one spoke, the coals in the fire would transform. I realized that the coals were mirroring the person that was talking. For instance, when Barbara would speak, the coals transformed to show me Mojo, our dog, looking up at her. When another person spoke, I noticed a crow in the coals, this person's power animal.

When I came back to practice, this "gift" would continue for several weeks. While working with a practice member, I would look outside for clues as to how I could help them. I would see the leaves in the trees, or an animal run by, or bark sending me "visions". It's actually really neat to see them clearly as opposed to following the gut like I usually do.

Anyway, the point of these ramblings to express the joy of writing. Thank you for allowing me to be a channel and to share my experiences.

Love Love Love

In researching the question, "How can I fully love myself?" I found some interesting techniques that I thought that I would share.

(Note: Artwork on the right by Rita Loyd)

I Love Myself Affirmation

by Louise Hay

.

Deep at the centre of my being,

there is an infinite well of love.

I now allow this love to flow to the surface.

It fills my heart, my body, my mind, my consciousness,

my very being, and radiates out from me in all directions

and returns to me mutliplied.

The more love I use and give, the more I have to give.

The supply is endless.

The use of love makes me feel good,

it is an expression of my inner joy.

I love myself;

therefore, I take loving care of my body.
I lovingly feed it nourishing foods and beverages,
I lovingly groom it and dress it, and my body lovingly

responds to me with vibrant health and energy.

I love myself; therefore provide for myself

a comfortable home, one that fills

all my needs and is a pleasure to be in.

I fill the rooms with the vibration of love

so that all who enter, myself included,

will feel this love and be nourished by it.

I love myself; therefore I work at a job I truly enjoy

doing, one that uses my creative talents and abilities,

working with and for people I love and who love me,

and earning a good income.

I love myself; therefore, I behave and think in a loving

way to all people for I know that that which I give out

returns to me multiplied.

I only attract loving people in my world,

for they are a mirror of what I am.

I love myself; therefore I forgive and totally release

the past and all past experiences and I am free.

I love myself; therefore I live totally in the now,

experiencing each moment as good and knowing that

my future is bright and joyous and secure,

for I am a beloved child of the Universe

and the Universe lovingly takes care of me

now and forever more.

And so it is.

Mirror Work
Look in the mirror and say "I love you."

Then "I love your ..."

.

Finally, my favorite...

Say "I love you so I can ______."

.

Just let your mind wander. Say it 100 plus times. It is really interesting what comes out and you'll feel really good afterwards.

Little Piggies

I thought that I needed to put something in this blog that is a little lighter.

I found this photo online and thought that I would share...

It's called "Little Piggies."

It makes me smile. : )

A Breakthrough in Love

I know that life can happen in breakthrough moments. I believe that shifts can happen in the psyche that line up that creative me to the Creative All. I uncovered something about myself that didn't exactly surprise me, but I believe that it stayed hidden because it is pretty raw.

Earlier this week I was inspired to completely give away my services for the week as a "Gift of Love." The truth is that I am operating at a financial low right now, but something drew me to do this. So I acted on faith.

I did not know what to expect in doing this. I still don't know what will happen. But I have received some emails back from this offer and one really hit me. I have not cried like this since Evan was born and Mojo's passing. Here is what he wrote...

"Dale,
You are AWESOME! Your email put a smile on my face. Thanks for spreading the love and know that you are loved as well."

It still gets me.


I think that my biggest issue as late is hidden in my reaction to this letter. The "know that you are loved as well" part hit me. I think that I have been feeling unloved. I believe that this sets up an energy of neediness. Who wants to be around someone who is needy?

Another way of putting "feeling unloved" is feeling disconnected from God. If God is love, as I believe, and I am feeling unloved, then I am disconnected form God. No wonder it has felt like I have been building this business on my own. No wonder it has felt like I am burdening the load on my own. No wonder why my practice has not been fully realized. I have not been filling myself up with love.

I have a lot to be grateful for. I have a lot of love in my life. Unfortunately, by not feeling the connectedness to God and not feeling loved, I have been unable to fully recognize it.

"We don't see the world as it is. We see the world as we are." - Anais Nin

I now commit to loving myself. I now commit to recognizing the love in my life and really giving myself a chance to feel it. I now commit to being grateful for all of life.

What Makes a Great Healer?

To be a great healer, one must be able to bring more life to an individual in every exchange. Let me explain...

Within each one of us is an incredible energy. This is the same energy that created the universe and exists in everything and everyone. Some call this energy "God."

When this energy is fully expressed, we are living life full out. Life is awesome and beautiful in all accounts.

When this energy is interfered with, we do not express our full potential. We fall short. This falling short can manifest in every way possible, from sickness and disease to financial hardship and relationship troubles.

A great healer can pinpoint areas of interference and address them. They either remove them with loving force (energy) or they bring attention to them to allow the healing to happen. This allows more life and healing occurs naturally.

What makes a successful healer?

It is when one brings more life to an individual in every exchange, and the healer lets the individual know that that is what they just did.


I have always been a great healer. It is what I am good at and the process has always brought me joy and peace. I have always had a challenge with taking credit for something that the Healing Energy (God) does. I only remove the interference. I am now at a point where I feel it is ok to share the truths of what I do. I am now open to being successful.

The Early 1900s

There are two areas that I am studying at this time. The first is are the 33 Principles of Chiropractic written by Stephenson. The other is a book called The Science of Getting Rich by Wattles.

The 33 Principles was in a book written in 1927 called The Chiropractic Textbook. The Science of Getting Rich was written in 1911.

Here is the first principle of Chiropractic: A Universal Intelligence is in all matter and continually gives to it all its properties and actions, thus maintaining it in existence.

Here is what Wattles says: There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe.

I had no idea how metaphysically advanced we were in the early 1900's. Very cool!

I will be writing more on these in the near future because I feel that they create a great foundation to build upon.

"Thank You for My Wealth"

This morning I was focusing on my wealth. When most people think about wealth, they think financial rewards. I honestly focus on that as well, usually. But now I am focusing on something else...

This is the definition of wealth...
1. a. An abundance of valuable material possessions or resources; riches.
b. The state of being rich; affluence.
2. All goods and resources having value in terms of exchange or use.
3. A great amount; a profusion: a wealth of advice.

What I most notice in this definition is that it is not only about material possessions, but also about resources. This is where I shine. My challenge is that I tend to focus on the material and forget about the wealth of resources that I possess.

I'll make a short list (not in any particular order)...
The love of my family
The abundance of smiles
I get from Evan
The support of a loving wife
Two fun dogs with lots of energy
My strength
My imagination and creativity
My desire to learn and grow
A home with a view
An understanding of how to restore health and vitality
Great hands
An beautiful office to work from
A core group of practice members who love me
Oodles of potential
Desire
Focus
Joy
Integrity
Understanding
and much more.

Even when I have tremendous financial wealth, if I lack any of the above list, my life will not be as full and enjoyable. Once again, it all comes down to focus and perspective.

What?

Evan has becoming very expressive these days. She points and tries to communicate. It's really pretty cool seeing her grow and learn.

The other day I was asking her "Where's your ball?" And she would get it. "Where's your drum?" And she would get it. She's almost 11 months now and I am still amazed.

This is her "What?" expression. God she's cute.
