Courage
The root word of discouraged is courage. Courage is defined as the ability to face danger, difficulty, uncertainty or pain without being overcome by fear or being deflected from a chosen course of action. Notice the underlined portion of the definition says without being overcome. The only way to not be overcome is to access your inner strength. Where does your inner strength come from? It comes from your Intelligent Life Energy! When you are physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually in touch with the largest part of yourself (your Life Energy), you are better able to access and utilize all of your available resources, and carry on forward, even in the face of possible, probable or even present danger, difficulty, fear or pain.
If you are ever feeling dis-couraged (i.e., if you have LOST your courage and are feeling overwhelmed), it may be because you have lost touch with your Intelligent Life Energy. This can and often does occur because of a partial loss of CONNECTION in the nerves between your brain and your body. We call this loss of connection and the subsequent decrease in the expression of Life Energy in your body, being SUBLUXATED. This most often occurs due to a loss of function or alignment in the segments of your spinal column because of the intimate connection between your spine and nerve system.
This is where chiropractic can help you get back what the Cowardly Lion in the Wizard of Oz found was really right there inside of him all along – COURAGE! By helping to restore and maintain alignment and function in your spine, chiropractors allow you to re-establish and maintain the CONNECTION between your brain and your body, so that you are as strong as you can be physically. But even more than that, it also reconnects you consciously (mentally, emotionally and spiritually) with your Life Energy, so that you can once again find your inner strength!
Do you believe you have a purpose in life (even if you’re not sure yet what it might be)? In other words, do you feel you were appointed with certain gifts and talents with which to serve the world? If so, can you see that if you become dis-couraged – if you lose your CONNECTION to your Life Energy – you also lose your ability to be consciously aware of and work toward completing your appointed purpose? Do you see that you will also become dis-appointed?
Make sure you and your family get connected and stay connected to the highest part of yourselves – your Intelligent Life Energy – your POWER – by seeing your chiropractor every week or two. That way you will spend more of your days being en-couraged and em-powered to be and do your absolute best, all the days of your life – YES YOU CAN!!! - By Kevin Donka, D.C.

In With the New
Spring Cleaning
As the last vestiges of winter depart, all of nature enters into a lively and animated state of renewal. In the springtime, earth’s life energy is awakened from dormancy, and the cycle of life starts anew. We have the ability to sense this change taking place even before the seasonal flora around us blooms before our eyes. It is natural, therefore, that during spring many of us begin to feel the urge to clear away the clutter that has accumulated while we’ve enjoyed being sequestered in our winter nests. Now is the time to let the fresh breezes cleanse the energy in our homes.Spring cleaning is traditionally a way to welcome a new season-one in which we open our doors and windows to let visitors and the sunshine in. It is also a way to remove stagnant energy from our homes in order to prepare our personal space for the positive, verdant energy of spring and summer. As you sweep away the dust and clutter that has blocked the flow of energy in your home, you inevitably sweep away some of the issues that may have been blocking you in your life. Intention is important, so before you begin cleaning, ask yourself what needs to be cleansed, what can be discarded, and how you can make your home a reflection of your best self. Then, gather your tools and supplies around you-vinegar mixed with water makes a wonderful natural cleanser, and putting everything you need in a bucket with a handle will make it easier to move your supplies around your home. Once you’ve begun spring cleaning, you may find that with each piece of clutter you discard and each item that you clean you begin to feel increasingly energized. Divesting yourself of unnecessary possessions can help you regain clarity of mind while cleaning your windows can help you refocus your vision. As you clean, invite healing and vital energy into your home and heart.
When you’ve cleaned your home from top to bottom, create a floral arrangement with flowers from your garden, or buy a new plant at a farmer’s market. You may notice that your home feels newer, and brighter and full of new fresh energy. You also feel reawakened, rejuvenated, and alive. By cleansing your home, you can harness the vivacity and vigor of spring.

Moving Our Body
Our bodies love movement. When we stretch or dance, our bodies adjust, realign and start to become fluid with the rhythm of life. Our mood lifts and we feel more connected with the world around us. If you are feeling stuck, ready to release old energy, or eager to feel more alive, try moving your body. By giving your muscles a chance to do what they were created for, you may find that all areas of your body and your life benefit as well.Many times we can be so busy that we forget moving our body is even an option. Some of us remain seated at our computer for hours every day or rush from task to task with robotic precision. When we are caught up in crossing items off our to-do lists, we tend to neglect all the opportunities there are to enjoy our bodies in the process of living. If this is true for you, begin looking for opportunities to move. You might try dancing or moving about freely as you clean your home, tend your garden or care for your children. If you are able to devote a set amount of time to self-care, practices such as yoga, dance, tai chi and walking are all great ways to keep your body in motion.
Imagine how freeing it would feel to trust your body’s movements completely, knowing it has a perfect strength and rhythm of its own. See if you can sense your bones providing graceful support, your muscles and tendons expanding and contracting in just the right measure, your lungs changing pace to fill deeply with fresh air. Movement is a vital celebration of life. It is a way to proclaim your own existence and relish in the joy of being alive. Today, and into the future, give yourself the gift of your body in motion. Remember, motion is Life…(Daily OM)

Giving The Freedom To Live
Accepting The Journeys Of Others
Each of us, in life, walks on the special path that each person is destined to undertake. Our journeys are very different and we progress at different rates. The pitfalls and blessings we encounter are unique, yet we are all learning and no one form of knowledge is more important than any other. Even so, when we observe others, it can be easy to pass judgment on their decisions and to assume their actions will correspond with what we feel is right. But for every problem, there are a multitude of solutions. Everyone makes mistakes and, while watching others do so it can be frustrating, it is important that you accept each person’s unique way of doing things. Giving others the freedom to act in the way they feel are best without the fear of harsh judgments honors the capacity for growth that all people possess.
It is helpful to practice accepting others as they are. Never judge the decisions of others based on the path you would have taken because every person lives by different values and experiences. Challenge is a universal concept, but we all deal with difficulties in our own way. Give others the space to fail, but don’t harden your heart against their experience. It isn’t wise to try and fix people or control situations. You may feel compelled to intervene when difficulties arise, but it is important only to offer guidance when asked unless the person is involved in a truly dangerous situation or cannot act for them self. Failure to choose the right path or to make enlightened decisions is simply another step on the journey. It is a means to experience wisdom. Letting go of the need to influence others does not discount offering loving support and it does not mean that you need to stop caring. It does mean stepping back, dissolving judgment, and gracefully allowing others to live their own destinies.
Giving others the freedom to blossom in their own journeys gives you the freedom to take more notice of your own. You may not condone the actions you see taking place, but your reactions will be more loving by letting them be. And you will be able to focus on just being yourself, confident that the path you take is as right, valid, & special as any other. (Daily OM)
