 The answer, of course, is that you turn on a light!  But notice something very interesting and important about the answer.  You don't remove the darkness.  Instead, you add light.  And, as you add light, darkness automatically leaves because darkness and light can’t exist in the same place at the same time.

While we understand and accept this to true about darkness and light, most of us have never applied this concept to other areas of our lives.  This principle of adding (or creating) what we DO want, instead of focusing on eliminating or preventing what we DON’T want is universally effective in bringing us to where we want to be.  It is simple really, when you fill a space with one thing, it must displace whatever was there before!

Here is another example.  If you are stressed out and you would rather be in a peaceful state of mind, begin creating peace.  That is, do things that actively and progressively produce peace, and as peace comes, stress will automatically leave - just as when we add light, darkness leaves!  If you are spending the majority of your time thinking, saying and doing things that bring you and those around you peace, there will be very little time left for you to be stressed.  Mother Theresa understood this principle and applied it to every area of her own life.  She was once asked if she would participate in a protest march against the Vietnam War.  She replied, “No, but if you have a march for peace, let me know.”  Remember, when we fill a space with one thing, it must displace whatever was there before.

Chiropractic care is all about applying this concept to your health.  Many people spend large amounts of time, energy and money trying to get rid of their pain and illnesses.  But, in a very real way, we can add light to this situation as well, rather than trying to remove the darkness.  You have inside of you a powerful Life Force that runs, regulates, heals and grows your body.  We call this your Innate Intelligence.  When this Life Energy is fully expressing or, “turned on,” it is like turning on a light inside of you that displaces any darkness (sickness/pain) that was there before.  You see, your Innate Intelligence is perfect – it always knows what to do to keep you running at your highest level, including healing you when you’re sick.  BUT, we in chiropractic do not actually focus on healing you, we simply seek to make sure your Life Energy is flowing – that your Light – your Power - is on.  Then, your Innate Intelligence goes to work healing you.

We accomplish this by giving what are called chiropractic adjustments that help re-establish the neurological CONNECTION between your brain and your body and allow your Life Force to again flow freely to all of your cells.  THAT’S IT!  That’s all chiropractic is about.  It’s about making sure that the miracle-producing Life Force inside you has a chance to do its best to move you progressively toward optimal health, happiness and the full expression of your potential and your purpose in life!  When the light is on, there is no darkness to worry about!

So, if you, your family or your friends have been frustrated by continually trying to remove darkness (disease), maybe it’s time to take a different approach – maybe it’s time to turn on your Light and watch the darkness just fade away.
