Cultivate Your Children's Potential


Why is it important to have your child’s spine checked for good alignment?
Their life depends on it. The spinal cord and brain use the spine as the highway for life! All communication and life expression occurs through the nervous system.
If their neck were broken, they would be paralyzed or dead. I know because at the age of 25 my neck was broken and I was paralyzed. It was like a bad cell phone connection, impossible to coordinate my muscles with my mind. It is your nervous system that communicates vital life function.

What causes misalignments in children?
There are times where physical, chemical, or emotional stress accumulate and affect the function of the nervous system. These stressors cause Subluxations. Subluxations create nerve interference. Nerve interference cause disease. A newborn has the same amount of stress hormones in its system as an adult experiencing a heart attack during birth.
A child falls on average 400 times by the time they are 7 years old.

How do you know if your child is in good alignment or not?
Can they talk to you? Most children cannot articulate what they feel as stress in their system. Can you feel the subtle aspects of your own body functions? Such as your heart beat, or maybe blood sugar imbalance? How about the oxygen exchange in blood? Children also do not have a way to articulate exactly what they are feeling, they may shut down or act strange when their system is under stress.

The Purpose behind Pain and Symptoms.
They are the “scream” of the bodies wisdom that there is something wrong. We recieve “whispers” all the time, yet we ignore them in general. Things can be imbalance for years before symptoms arise. We are taught to “fix” them right away, to cover them up. Does that really deal with the cause? The 4 ways the body excretes toxins are through the respiratory system, skin as sweat, the urinary tract and bowels. How do we most often get "sick"? This is our internal wisdom detoxing our system and bringing back homeostasis. Much like the purpose behind a fever, to bring up the temperature inside the body, kill off the sick cells and burn energy to heal and create new whole functioning cells.


Innate Wisdom of the Body.
Well-adjusted children are very adaptable to life, open to new experience and vibrant. The clearing of the nervous system brings a person into growth, transformation and development from the inside out. The inherent drive of life is always to toward more and greater expression. When life within is freed our armor melts from the inside out and we are able to express the totality of ourselves. Just like a blade of grass that pierces concrete to grow toward the light of the sun, our body always is healing and expressing life. This is evident as from 2 cells; in 280 days within a totally self-supporting biological system, a human being is created.

Cultivation of Life Force in our Children:
Should we wait until our children have sickness and disease to cultivate their health? We can specifically improve the function of their nervous system from birth. By trusting the Innate Wisdom of life, we can help them thrive and be nourished from the inside out, naturally.
