That's right, it really is that simple! There is this special something in all living things that keep it alive. It's in the grass, the trees; it's in you and me. I believe God put it there and it's called Innate Intelligence. Innate means "born with". Some people call it the electricity or the power of the body. I call it "life" and what a gift it is! Do you know what's causing your heart to beat right now? That's the Innate Intelligence of your body. It's that vital force within the body…it's that God-given wisdom of the body that knows exactly what it is doing at all times; As long as nothing interferes with that wisdom!
From the moment a sperm and an egg come together…life begins. Cells divide and divide and now here we are! To me that is one of the most amazing mysteries! How does that all work? Well I will tell you how it works.
The first organ to form is the brain and spinal cord…the Central Nervous System. It is central to everything else in the body (the Master Control Panel). From it everything else is created. It is the lifeline to the entire body! Wow! You see, all life flows from above, down, inside and out…and this is exactly how it works!
Anything that interferes with that flow of life from above, down, inside, and out (ADIO) will cause less than optimal life; therefore, less than optimal health.
Vertebral Subluxation (spinal misalignment) will interfere with life flowing from ADIO! That's why I get to witness miracles everyday in my chiropractic office. Why? Because when subluxations are reduced or removed in the spine, the nervous system functions the way it was designed to function and the body does the same. Things like fatigue, sinus issues, allergies, reflux, constipation, menstrual problems (to name a few)…they just seem to magically get better. Why? It's because the body was designed to be self-healing. How do we know this?
Have you ever cut your finger? How does it heal and who heals it? The body, of course! That's the Innate Intelligence I was talking about. Let me give you an example: If you cut the finger of a dead person and you cut your finger…then you put antibiotics on your finger and the dead person's finger, which finger heals? Yours, of course! Why is that?
Because life is essential for healing…it happens no other way! It happens from ADIO!
Another major interference that most people suffer from is the interference of "stinking thinking" (as I have heard Zig Ziglar define it…I love that guy!). If your mind is not full of life…neither will you be. I like to call it "S.I.C.K. Thinking"! Remember: your mind feeds your body. Are you feeding it sickness? Are you feeding it "junk food for thought"?
Health comes from the inside, out…so does life! What we feed our minds and what our minds feed our bodies is almost more important than what we feed our mouths. It's not necessarily what you are eating, but what is eating you!
Stay tuned…we are just getting started with this conversation. I am going to show you that you CAN think WELL, you CAN lose weight, you CAN be your BEST, and you CAN experience health…for life!
