People differ in how they view the world and what happens to them. There’s two main perspectives people choose to operate from: abundance or scarcity. Abundance is a mindset where there’s no shortage in the world. People with this perspective often think there will always be enough money to go around(Fact: if you were to divide all the money up between every human in the world, everyone would be a millionaire). There will always be enough food. There will always be enough love, laughter, and happiness. A scarcity viewpoint is the opposite. These people usually think there isn’t enough money, so I need to hoard what I have. There isn’t enough food so I need to grab it all while I can. Resources are a finite amount, and if I don’t get what I can now, I risk not being able to survive. Both perspectives warrant consideration and could be found to be true. At Hands For Life, we choose to operate out of a sense of abundance. Without this viewpoint, we would not be able to give of our time, energy, and resources the way we need to in order to help the people we have sought out to help. We want to know, which perspective do you operate...

Our bodies are simply amazing organisms. Digestion is one process that doesn’t get the proper appreciation that it deserves. We can eat all kinds of different foods and our body knows exactly what to do with the nutrients. Consciously, we don’t even have to pay attention to what’s happening. In fact, think about the last time you ate food and had to mentally tell your stomach to secrete hydrochloric acid, or your pancreas to secrete insulin to let the sugar into the cells. Your answer is almost certainly, never. That’s because of the master control system in our bodies called, the nervous system. It controls and runs everything. Not one cell is left un-touched. When talking about our digestive system, it’s mostly under what we call the Autonomic Nervous System. Which basically means it’s subconsciously controlled. We don’t have to pay attention to it. Our bodies are so intelligent, that they simply carry out the tasks. This entire process is ready and good to go from birth, just like everything else in our body. It’s hard to ignore the amazing intelligence in our universe when you begin to look at our own...

Electricity has been around now for a number of years and has allowed us to power our homes, businesses, and more. Without it, our days would end much sooner and our nights would be much longer. Today, we live in the most connected world there has ever been. None of this would be possible without electricity. Our bodies run on electricity too. Our brains consume most of it to power the rest of our bodies. When electrical wires get old they begin to fray. As they fray they run the chance of arcing. When that occurs the possibility of a fire happens. This is not much different than the process in your body. Your spinal cord and nerves are just like electrical wires carrying the electrical impulse to and from the different organs. If there is any pressure on the nerves or spinal cord, caused by a subluxation, it’s very similar to frayed wires. Furthermore, if this pressure is not released and corrected, you risk the possibility of a fire, or having certain organs shut down where the nerves normally run. This is why chiropractic care is so vital for everyone. It helps maintain the electrical wiring inside your body. You need an electrician to take care of your wires and make sure nothing will cause a fire. You need a chiropractor to make sure nothing in your body is going to cause a fire. Stay healthy my...

Everything alive is in motion. Humans constantly move about, ants, dogs, cows, etc. Even the things we don’t typically think of as moving, such as, trees, are moving. Maybe not on the surface but when you go under the soil you see the roots growing, constantly moving and searching to find water. Also, the leaves are sprouting and growing, while the tree is constantly moving/growing toward the sun. Movement is life and without it we die. When you look at humans in a hospital, the ones moving around are generally the ones who will be leaving the hospital soon. However, when you see someone who is bed-ridden and not moving, they are usually walking a tightrope between life and death. Our spines are no different. Motion brings health and healing to the entire body. If the spine is not moving, then entire bodily function shuts down. Organs don’t work and symptoms soon follow. Restoring motion to the spine allows the body’s physiology to function better and is why chiropractic is so important to everyone’s...

Healing in our body works from the inside out. What does that mean? Think about when you have a cut. Our skin doesn’t just magically come together to become one again. First, our blood has to coagulate. Once it stops running and begins to stick together, a scab forms. Once the scab has covered the wound scar tissue begins to form underneath. For a few weeks while scar tissue has been building, the scab is removed and like magic, our skin is in one piece again. Our nervous system works the same way. All electrical impulses start in our brain and run down the spinal cord on the inside of our bodies. From there the signals go out our nerves to every single, cell, tissue, and organ in the body. It happens no other way! Unfortunately, many people opt for what we call an “outside – in” approach to healing. This is where a drug, pill, potion, or lotion is used to “fix” a problem. However, when it comes to the body, true healing can’t happen until the brain communicates with the part of the body that is ill or injured. A drug, pill, potion, or lotion won’t cause this process to happen. It happens naturally, from the inside-out, it’s the only...
