LIFE FUELS LIVING and THE BEYOND VAN GOGH EXPERIENCE: Dr. Fresh’s thoughts about health, on the canvas of art
?? Life Fuels Living
?? What are the things people want most in life, not the things they just want when everything’s going great but specifically of all the things they could have, what would they never want to lose or what couldn’t they live without?
Their HEALTH, but lets’ go one step deeper than health…
?? What do people beg for in movies when they are tied up in a chair and being tortured…
Their LIFE!
??Do they worry about if they have a cold, a car, a house, or even their health? NO
?? So, what is life?
Is it the thoughts we have, jobs we do, and the lives we live?
No it is beyond all that, it is the being alive part, that allows us to do all those things.
?? What are some of the trillions of things that LIFE provides us?
Our ability to be healthy and active with avoiding or reducing suffering whenever possible.
?? Let’s look at where life lives, before we look at, what life is?
?? LIFE lives in every living thing and it is even in the spaces between every living thing.
?? But for this conversation, let’s just look at one specific aspect of where it lives in our body, which is the brain, nerve system, and cells.
?? THIS IS WHERE LIFE CONTROLS AND COORDINATES EVERYTHING IN OUR LIVES.
?? The brain generates about 20 watts of electricity.
This is enough to power a low-wattage light bulb.
?? THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT!
WHAT GENERATES THIS ELECTRICITY AND HOW DOES “IT” GENERATE THAT ELECTRICITY?
?? I AM ALWAYS GOING TO GODS INSTRUCTION MANUAL, BECAUSE I WANT TO LEARN ABOUT ME, AND BE REMINDED OVER AND OVER AGAIN, FROM MY CREATOR, NOT THE WORLD OF WHO I AM AND WHAT I AM HERE TO DO. TO LEARN HOW WE ARE MADE AND HOW WE WORK.
?? GODS WORD IS HOW YOU CAN TALK TO AND LISTEN TO GOD!
?? I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
Psalm 139:14
?? For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
Romans 1:20
?? And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28
?? On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
“What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?” He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ ” 28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”
Luke 10:25-28
?? LIVE…EXPERIENCE THE FULLNESS OF LIFE
?? SO…
What do you think the life in our body is talking about?
YOU!
EVERYTHING HAPPENING AROUND YOU.
HOW IT IS AFFECTING YOU.
YOUR PAST, YOUR PRESENT, YOUR FUTURE DESIRES
AND HOW TO ADAPT TO, SURVIVE, AND THRIVE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF YOUR TRILLIONS OF CELLS THAT MAKE UP TISSUES, THAT MAKE UP ORGANS, THAT MAKE UP ORGAN SYSTEMS, THAT MAKE UP YOU!
?? The LIFE that does all this can not be put in a test tube.
?? We will never be able to fully grasp what life is, how life works, and how trillions of combinations of other factors are influenced and impacted by the LIFE in a person.
WONDERS OF CREATION
?? However, we do know that the God that created that LIFE is capable of doing anything with that LIFE.
?? THIS LIFE IS INCREDIBLY ORGANIZED, INCREDIBLY INTELLIGENT, BEYOND OUR GREATEST UNDERSTAND, AND ALWAYS WILL BE.
?? THE GOOD NEWS IS WE DON’T NEED TO KNOW HOW IT WORKS AND EVERYTHING IT CAN DO TO RECEIVE ITS’ BENEFITS, WE CAN JUST DO A BETTER JOB AT PROTECTING AND UTILIZING LIFE IN OUR BODY AND RECEIVE AND ENJOY ITS’ BENEFITS
?? Where does LIFE come from?…
??GOD or SLIME
??Highly Organized or Random
??I only see 1 type of human being, not multiple variations of how to breath air or digest food, which would have happened if we just evolved randomly. Then to also make a male and female version that go together to make new life. That does not seem random at all.
?? I see incredible levels of design, consistency, and organization as we learn new and amazing things about life each and every day. Look at the amazing things people can do with near impossible situations. We also can watch over time the amazing things the earth does to care for itself and the way we are finding new ways that the earth provides for us. One example is how you can find an amazing flower from the rain forest or something at the bottom of the ocean to solve a problem that people are experiencing. Usually, but not always, from problems people have self imposed by not following the rules of nature from the beginning.
?? When Observing and studying how amazing people and the earth is, I mean all you have to do is look at something so common to us as rain, water comes down, waters the land, then evaporates into the clouds again.
Or the morning dew that covers every blade of grass!
This and 1,000’s of other examples leads me to God as my only conclusion!
?? Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
Genesis 1:26-
??“Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.
Jeremiah 32:17
??“As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
Isaiah 55:9-11
?? THIS LIFE INSIDE US IS ALREADY PERFECT AND PROVIDES US WITH EVERYTHING WE NEED TO LIVE OUT A LIFE BEYOND OUR WILDEST DREAMS.
?? We are unable to make it any better, however we can do our part NOT to limit it’s potential by choices we make.
?? What are some major ways to maximize LIFE in our body?
how we protect it and feed it, exercise, food, rest, positivity, what we read, hear, and think…every choice we make
?? ONE WAY WE PROTECT THE LIFE IN OUR BODIES IS DETERMINED BY HOW WELL WE TAKE CARE OF THE SPINE IT LIVES IN AND GOES THROUGH.
CHIROPRACTIC
?? We are the only profession that focuses on how to maximize the health of, restore health to, and protect the pathway of LIFE.
?? THE SPINE IS THE PATHWAY AND PROTECTOR OF LIFE IN THE BODY
?? SO HOW DO WE DO THAT?
ANALYSIS WITH X-RAYS, ADJUSTMENTS, AND RE-ANALYSIS
?? WITH THE SPINE Aging occurs by normal years OR accelerated years, which cause spines to age faster.
?? Subluxations, Trauma, Improper use and overuse of the spine cause accelerated aging of the spine
?? So lets look at how accelerated aging affects spines, because remember, normal aging shows very little change.
?? THE 3 CATEGORIES ARE:
Mild, moderate, and severe categories of accelerated aging, which are usually defined by the amount of time a subluxation has gone un cared for.
?? 3 CHARACTERISTICS WE LOOK AT ARE:
1. Changes to Posture/SUBLUXATION
2. Changes Disc Space
3. Changes to Bone
?? THESE 3 CHARACTERISTICS WILL TELL US WHERE THE PROBLEM IS AND HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN THERE, WHICH DETERMINES THE CATEGORY, WHICH DETERMINES THE CARE PLAN.
?? SO THE CHARACTERISTICS DETERMINE THE CATEGORY, WHICH DETERMINES THE CARE PLAN.
?? Subluxation pictures:
What the characteristics look like:
1.change to posture/subluxation
2.change to disc space
3.change to bone:
?? What happens if you neglect subluxation:
?? How long can people live with subluxations and not feel them?
?? Bones and discs don’t have feelings, only the nerves that go through them do, so many people don’t feel this happening all the time, only when the nerve fibers for pain are aggravated. But there are 1,000’s of other fibers in every nerve sheath.
?? Pain fibers only make up 10% of the nerve fibers in the body!
?? HOW LONG DO THESE CATEGORIES TAKE?
?? NOW, there are 2 story’s to every picture:
Y IN THE ROAD AND SOME OF THE THINGS ALONG EACH PATH
?? 1. IGNORING subluxations…
2.CARING FOR subluxations…
??Subluxations are stuck joints that can happen from chemical, mental, emotional, and physical stresses that cause irritation to bone, disc, muscles, and nerves, resulting in advanced aging of the spine over time AND MOST IMPORTANTLY A NEGATIVE CHANGE TO THE ALREADY PERFECT LIFE THAT IS FLOWING OVER THE NERVES. CAUSING THEM TO GO FASTER, SLOWER, MORE OFTEN, OR LESS OFTEN THAN THEY SHOULD TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE BODY. WHICH RESULTS IN WEAKER IMPULSES, WEAKER TISSUES, WEAKER ORGANS, WEAKER ORGAN SYSTEMS, TO A WEAKER BODY.
FEELING A LITTLE OFF, LIFE SUPPORT
?? THIS MAY HAPPEN ON THE SMALLEST UNMEASURABLE LEVEL OF HEALTH ALL THE WAY UP TO LIFE ALTERING OR LIFE ENDING IMPLICATIONS.
?? Care plans are designed for people to live and enjoy their best life, where they can be the most active with the least amount of suffering possible
?? Care Plans Maximize LIFE
?? 3 major Care Plans
Initial, Lifetime, and Present Needs
EMERGENCY
?? Initial Care Plans: Emergency Care and beginning of repair
DAILY HABITS AND DISCIPLINES
?? Lifetime Care Plans: Continual repair, adaptation to life and prevention: THIS INCLUDES the person’s lifestyle, hard work, habits, discipline, and consistency over time to name a few.
SETBACKS
?? Present Needs: when people miss some appointments they may feel the same for a while but overtime as they slowly decline they learn they can’t miss their appointments and receive the same great benefits they had enjoyed when they were following their care plans or they may have a very active weekend or fall… this group needs a short intense present needs care plan period to get their back on track
?? CARE PLANS ARE WHERE BETTER LIFE LEADS TO BETTER LIVING, THROUGH A BETTER SPINE
?? CARE PLANS REQUIRE a clear plan, constant encouragement, reminders, and problem solving for the clients to help them get the results they desire and deserve.
?? 4 Main Areas to Navigate so that road blocks don’t become stumbling blocks, but instead starting blocks to the next level:
- TIME
- MONEY
- SLOW PROGRESS
- SET BACKS
?? The GOAL OF A CARE PLAN FOR LIFE IS TO Continually find the right HEALTH EQUATION to promote healing/life, health, and encouragement.
CARE PLAN EXAMPLES
?? Someone’s HEALTH EQUATION may be:
-1 adjustment a week
-3 specific stretches or exercises
-A new sleeping position
-Specific Level of consistency or intensity
?? Names just a couple of factors that make up the right HEALTH EQUATION for that person at that specific time in their life.
?? 3 main categories of HEALTH EQUATION FACTORS are:
- Reducing Negative Factors, WHICH IS WINNING MOMENTS
- Promoting Healing Factors, WHICH IS HEALTH IS PRACTICALLY FREE
- The Foundational Principles that every Health Equation requires, things like time, consistency, and discipline.
?? We are continually providing each individual client, in real time, the HEALTH EQUATION needed, along with their hard work to take their LIFE to the next level
?? Chiropractic offices are one of the only places that focus on protecting and maximizing the spark of life that travels over our brain and nerve system by caring for the health of the spine.
?? THAT LIFE MADE US, MEETS ALL OUR NEEDS, AND HEALS US.
?? The ability of that life to make us, meet all our needs and heal us year after year depends on the health of the spine that those nerves go through to carry that life throughout our body.
?? Keeping people on their care plans is one very important way to help people have the health and life that they dream about for them and their family
?? ONE MORE THING
?? One things is for sure, Chiropractic care is one of the best things you can do to focus on one thing, the health of your spine, while at the same time maximizing the trillions of things that the LIFE flowing over your brain and nerve system is doing for each and every area of your life, including everything you think, say, and do.
?? So my prayer is people learn how Powerful and important it is to take care of the life that is inside their body, so they can enjoy as much of life as possible and that they pass this health legacy on to their families, friends, kids, grand kids and great grandkids so the next generation can start taking care of their spine and the LIFE inside them sooner. It will help them avoid, navigate, or grow from setbacks and experience greater LIFE and health in all they have been created to do and in the people they have been created to be.
