You Are the Greatest Work of Art
(Published in Vision Magazine, February 1998)

Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Van Gogh: seeing the names of these familiar artists probably reminds you of the great works of art they created. But no one, no matter how ingenious, can surpass the magnificence of God's most incredible work of art: The Human Body.

On the average, an adult's heart beats approximately 100,000 times per day, pumping 2,500 - 50,000 gallons of blood through 60,000 miles of blood vessels. In your lifetime, you will breathe over 500 million times, consume 50 tons of food and at least 11,000 gallons of liquid. Your heart beats, your lungs contract and expand, your food is digested, and trillions of biochemical reactions occur in your body every second without your having to think about it! That is a miracle!

What is it that orchestrates your body's functions so beautifully? There is a great source of unlimited power within you that works through the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) called innate intelligence. It is this power that took two cells at conception and without the help of anyone, directed the creation of the amazing human body. Innate intelligence communicates with your body in the form of electrical impulses generated in the brain. These life-giving messages travel down your back, within the spinal cord, and through a vast network of nerves, giving every cell of your body instructions on how to heal and function normally. As long as the communication between brain and body and body and brain is uninterrupted, you will be at your maximum health potential: physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

Did you know that 98% of your body is completely new every year? You have new skin every month and a new stomach lining every four days. Your liver regenerates every six weeks and you have a new skeleton every year. With the exception of the brain and spinal cord, every cell of your body is replaced constantly.

If our bodies keep on renewing themselves, why is it that there is so much sickness, disease and poor health in our society? Turn on the television or look in any magazine and notice the countless advertisements for medications. They offer us relief from ulcers, allergies, colds, headaches, heartburn, and the list goes on. How can anyone have an ulcer if the stomach is new every four days? If our innate wisdom can direct trillions of biochemical reactions every second, why aren't our bodies healing normally as they should?

Unfortunately, due to the stresses of life, your central nervous system gets "kinked”, preventing the normal flow of electrical impulses (innate intelligence) from reaching the cells in your body, in the same way that a kink in a garden hose prevents the natural flow of water from reaching the garden. These kinks, called spinal subluxations, are created when you are subjected to constant physical, mental, emotional, or chemical stress and your body cannot adapt to, or recover from it. If these situations continue for a prolonged period of time, dysfunction in your nervous system occurs.

When water cannot reach the garden, the blades of grass turn yellow and the flowers shrivel and die. Similarly, in your body, when innate intelligence cannot reach your cells, degeneration and disease occur. A symptom, whether it be an ulcer, headache, allergy, back pain, depression, or anxiety, is a warning signal telling you that your central nervous system is experiencing interference.

If there were a fire in your home, would you take the battery out of the smoke detector because the noise bothered you? Obviously not! You would try to find the source of the smoke and put out the fire if you could. How many of us ignore or try to “cover up” the warning signals in our bodies! Symptoms make us feel uncomfortable (they're supposed to in order to get our attention) and most often we look for a “quick fix” or “cure” without really looking at the underlying problem. Whether it be an aspirin, decongestant, muscle relaxant or anti-depressant, we feel we have been “cured” when the symptom disappears. In reality, all that we have done is taken the battery out of the smoke detector and we can no longer hear the warning signal. In its infinite wisdom, your body will send stronger signals to get your attention, and that can be very unpleasant!

Healing begins in your body when damaging interference in your central nervous system (caused by spinal subluxations) is removed, allowed your innate intelligence to do its job. Network Spinal Analysis is a healing modality that uses gentle, non-invasive chiropractic adjustments to the spine (light taps along the spinal column) with the purpose of removing spinal subluxations. The result is enhancement of physical, emotional, and psychological well-being, stress relief, and improved quality of life.

You were put on this planet to enjoy perfect health and to express your full genetic potential. If you think otherwise, think again!

Learn to trust your body's innate wisdom. After all, you are the greatest work of art ever created.

Earthly Transformation
(Published in Vision Magazine, December 1998)

As the new millennium approaches you will experience a myriad of changes, not only externally but within your being as well. I am sure you are already aware that something different is happening inside you. You may be experiencing a feeling of anticipation or an awareness that time and events in your life are really speeding up. Is this just your imagination? Have you noticed how much your body has been talking to you lately, in strange ways like, perhaps, an increased frequency of episodes in which your ears pop or buzz? Or has your head felt heavy, as if you were under water? Have you experienced more aches and pains lately - especially this past year? Have you been unusually tired and required more sleep? Have you felt overly sensitive, mentally, emotionally and physically? How many times have you asked yourself, “What on Earth is happening to me?” Exactly! It is the Earth that is happening to you. Let me explain.

Our planet is a living being that constantly experiences changes. It has been around for five billion years. I have traveled throughout the world and feasted my eyes on its unparalleled physical beauty. I sat atop Mt. Olympus, feeling its awesome spiritual force - no wonder the gods chose this location as their home base! Just thinking of the diversity of land formations, deep ocean canyons, mountain ranges and the variety of life forms that inhabit them, flexes my mind and leaves me in awe at its power of creation. And, our Earth also manifests an awesome display of temperament - a torrential rain, a massive hurricane, a destructive tornado, or a tranquil and beautiful rainbow after a storm. If these don't count as emotional cathartic events in your book, rewrite it!

The Earth is alive and well and heading for major transformation once again, taking us along with her whether we are prepared for it or not. This transformation will not be the doomsday version many people believe it will be. There may be some shaking and rolling, for sure, but not as severe as everybody thinks. The most impactful change, which began in the early 1980's, has greatly intensified in this past year. This involves the shift in the magnetic field of the earth, which will affect you personally on all levels.

About six months ago, my beliefs about the shift in the magnetic field were supported in various ways. While listening to a radio show, an airline pilot called the station to report the he had to recalibrate his navigation controls in order to compensate for an unusual shift in the earths magnetic field! This is just one example. Our suns magnetic activity has also increased, causing solar winds of such magnitude that last May, satellites were knocked off line along with millions of pagers and cellular phones!

As our planet evolves to a higher energy level its magnetic field will increase to match it. The shifting and increase in magnetic field is affecting our central nervous systems like a shock wave! This is not a negative thing if you are aware of the signs and what you can do about what is happening to you. In physics, it is a basic fact that if a magnetic field is applied across an electrical wire, the voltage increases in that wire. That is exactly what is happening to us! Our nervous system is just like that wire. This shift in magnetic field and increase in voltage is creating chaos in our central nervous systems (a healthy type of chaos, though, one which deletes the old programs or patterns and replaces them with instructions of a higher nature). In order for us to evolve to a higher state of consciousness along with Earth, our central nervous systems must shift to match the increase in energy level.

As the magnetic field penetrates our central nervous system it induces change at the cellular level, which may be experienced as increased discomfort in the body. As your cerebral spinal fluid, which nourishes and maintains the pressure equilibrium of your brain and spinal cord, adapts to the increased magnetic output of our planet, the pressure changes internally. This causes ear popping or buzzing, a heavy feeling in your head, and a need for more sleep.

Your emotional body also is greatly affected, which, I am sure, you have noticed. Felt more sensitive lately? People whose central nervous systems are not adapting to this shift may express themselves in a very destructive manner. The rise in homicides committed by children this past year alone is one example of this destructive behavior and is taking everyone by surprise. Your emotional body is one of the most powerful forces that influence your consciousness and behavior. Unfortunately, most of us are taught to suppress this part and bury it deep inside. Although we are seeing some very tragic events taking place in our world right now, it is part of the healing and cleansing of old patterns that have been kept buried inside us as a group consciousness.

If your central nervous system is blocked and inflexible and cannot accommodate the changes brought about by the shift in the magnetic field and increased voltage in your body, you will have a difficult time adjusting. Your central nervous system is the conduit whereby your mental, emotional, spiritual and physical bodies communicate with one another. Therefore, it must be maintained at its maximum function if you want to achieve your optimum health potential during these times of change.
