Shift Away From Focusing On Your Problems…

September 17, 2009

DSC_0074

A quote from a very wise teacher; Abraham Hicks, http://www.abraham-hicks.com.

It should only be talked about if the talking will make you feel better. It is of no value, ever, to activate and talk about something that doesn’t feel good, because it reactivates it in your vibration; it makes it another point of your point of attraction so you’re less clear.

In other words, when you focus upon the problems of others, you diminish your ability to help them. People believe that you’ve got to focus upon the problem in order to find a solution. And we say, no solution ever comes forth – it’s never inspired; you never recognize it, and you are never able to facilitate or achieve it – from your place of focusing on the problem. They are two entirely different vibrations. If you have someone who has many things going wrong and one thing going right, beat the drum of what’s going right, and let that be your point of attraction. If you focus upon their problems, you achieve vibrational harmony with something other than the Source that gives you solution.

— Abraham


Is the Swine Flu Gonna Get You?

July 8, 2009

Couple_of_BacteriaWhat is the reality with the Swine Flu and other ‘germ-related’ diseases?  Are we really that weak as humans that any little germ that finds us will make us sick?  Are our lives being controlled by little germs or is there something very important missing from our understanding of the nature of disease?

Wise people like you will appreciate the information I disclose in this report. I share a secret that even your doctor might not know…  The “Germ Theory of Disease” is only small part of a much bigger picture, and it does not explain the true nature of disease!!

The Germ Theory was created and promulgated (in part) by Louis Pasteur in the 1860’s.  To this day it is the basis for modern/western medicine’s approach to health and disease.  But Is Pasteur’s theory really sound?

According to Pasteur:

● Germs/microbes cause disease.

● Germs invade the body from the outside, from air, water, food or contact.

● Human blood is sterile and can only be infected by outside microbes.

● Germs are monomorphic meaning they have only one form.

● Specific diseases are caused by specific germs and should be killed by medications.

Are these statements valid and true without exception?  Let’s look at some other scientists’ work for some answers.

Robert Koch, a German scientist, contributed some amazing things to the world of science http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Koch.   While working with the concepts involving the Germ Theory of disease Koch derived the popular “Koch’s Postulates.”

Koch’s postulates are:

  1. The microorganism must be found in abundance in all organisms suffering from the disease, but should not be found in healthy animals.
  2. The microorganism must be isolated from a diseased organism and grown in pure culture.
  3. The cultured microorganism should cause disease when introduced into a healthy organism.
  4. The microorganism must be reisolated from the inoculated, diseased experimental host and identified as being identical to the original specific causative agent.

So what did Koch actually find?  He found that you could find germs (that were thought to cause certain diseases) in healthy people with no symptoms (still true today).  So postulate 1 needed revision.  He also found that some people could be exposed to the germs and not contract the disease.  Now postulate 3 also needed some work.

So what about those Germs… those pesky little things that are supposedly responsible for making us sick?   So, we all have Germs in us, but most of us are still healthy.  Why is this fact so important?

Why do some people get sick and others not, even though they’ve been exposed to the same germs?

Let’s take a look at another scientists work; Professor Antoine Béchamp.  Béchamp brought forward the theory of pleomorphism. He was able to observe in his microscope that a germ could evolve into many different forms.  He found that a germ could transform from virus to bacteria, yeast, fungus, and mold.  This is important information in the area of Germs and disease!

Claude Bernard (another contemporary of Béchamp) expounded on the pleomorphic theory and related ideas.  He contributed to the whole picture by showing that the inner terrain – the physical environment of the host organism – was the major factor that either allowed or resisted diseases to form.

One of the key findings of Bernard’s work is that the pH (acid/alkaline balance) of the environment was one of the most important factors in determining whether or not germs could grow in living tissue.

Science has shown that germs grow more readily in an acidic environment.  If the human blood pH drops by as little as 0.1, the corresponding increase in acidity allows for human immune function to decrease significantly enough for opportunistic germs to begin growing unchecked.

Why is this important information?  Because what you eat and how you feel are what affects the pH of your body.  So you can eat the right foods and reduces stress in your life to balance your pH levels, thereby allowing your own body to fight off disease!

“Claud Bernard was right… the microbe(germ) is nothing; the terrain is everything.” -Louis Pasteur quoted on his death bed.

So, why are we still hearing so much in the media about germs?  Why has medical community ignored these and similar findings about Germs and disease for the last 140 years or more, and is still promoting today that Germs are the sole cause disease?  Could it be that we are so wrapped up in the deception that we can’t change our ways?  What do the Pharmaceutical companies have to do with it?  These questions will have to be answered in another blog post…

But now you know the truth.  Germs are only a part of the picture, and in most cases, only a very small part of the problem.

Germs alone don’t make you sick unless you allow them to.  Your health and resistance to disease is dependent upon freeing yourself from all forms of stress (mental/emotional, chemical, physical) and allowing your body to harmonize and function as it was designed.

The Secret Benefits of Wellness Chiropractic

May 14, 2009

chiropracticI appreciate so many things in life – and I do so many wonderful things for my work – but at the top of the list is having a rewarding career as a Wellness Chiropractor and Teacher of Health and Well-being.

I want to give you a valuable gift right now. I’m going to share with you a powerful secret.  It’s one of the simplest, yet most valuable secrets about your health and longevity that I know of; something that hundreds of millions of people don’t know about yet.  If you pay attention to this ONE area of your health you’ll have a better chance of living a long and healthy life.  Read on?

What’s the answer?  First I have a quick question for you.

Of all the systems in your body, which system is most vital to your health and longevity?

You guessed it.  It’s your Nervous System.

Your Nervous System is responsible for the growth, health, control and monitoring of ALL the other systems in your body.  This system conveys your Intelligence throughout your body.

Why is this important and relevant?  Because the primary pathway of communication is through your Spine, and your spine IS something you can take care of and keep healthy for life.

The most empowering thing I can share with you is this:  YOU can keep your spine healthy all of your life if you want.  And a good Wellness Chiropractor is THE specialist in helping you maintain optimal function in this area!

Chiropractic is not simply about bones out-of-place, back aches or neck pains.  Yes, chiropractic adjustments can often help you recover from neck, back or joint pain quickly…

But the real Secret I wish to share with you is this: chiropractic adjustments to your spine help your Vital Power (your nervous system) to flow uninterrupted throughout your body.  This allows you to be healthy from the inside out. Chiropractors don’t heal you… you heal yourself with a optimally functioning nervous system.

When I give spinal adjustments I expect they body to function better than it was before.  In my office we often see spontaneous, “accidental” healing events.  I call these experiences “accidental” because most of my patients are surprised to see such a positive result in another area of their body (eg. digestion, heart function, breathing, sleep, stamina…) even though I was working with their spine.

“I noticed improvements to my neck and back pain levels immediately after the first adjustment and more with each visit.  Then within 2 weeks I was also noticing that my old digestive problems were gone.” – Steve S., San Rafael, CA

Of all the things I do for work, being a Wellness Chiropractor is at the top of the list.  This kind of work encompasses so many areas of life and well-being.  I feel fulfilled every day when I connect with my clients and help them to feel and function better.  And I love seeing and hearing about the Miracles that happen every day! It’s so rewarding to do this type of work.

As a Wellness Chiropractor I get to focus on all aspects of health and well-being when I am working with my clients.  I consider their physical fitness, nutrition and chemistry, and their general state of happiness and emotional fulfillment.  I will take the time to Coach my clients on how to make better decisions in life so that they can enjoy being healthy for a long time.  Everything I do helps my clients to function better and feel stronger.

I too enjoy visiting a Wellness Chiropractor on a regular basis.  Why?  Because I feel better, I sleep better, my digestion is better and I feel more flexible.  I get adjusted because I am healthier with the adjustments than without.  I’ve tried both ways and I definitely notice a difference from being regularly adjusted.

If you have any questions for a Wellness Chiropractor or Life Coach simply  contact me by phone or email and I will help you in any way I can.

“What I like about Dr. Jack is his attention to the physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual elements of well-being.  He offers options and suggestions but is never pushy about them.  He offers thoughts and feelings bus is open to other thoughts and feelings as well. He is a caregiver who cares.” – Ken Kramarz, Larkspur, CA

Need a Miracle? Here’s Where to Find One…

March 24, 2009

leap_streamBy the end of this article you will understand exactly what to do to begin attracting the miracles that you desire into your life right now.  Is it worth it to you to read on?  How bad do you want a miracle?

The Truth is that you and everything in your life are miracles.  You may or may not agree with that statement.  If everything is good in your life then you probably agree with me.  On the other hand, if some things in your life are troubling you you may disagree that all of life is a miracle.

Miracles are thought to be “divine intervention, or a gift from God.”  Which is true.  But so is everything else in life.  You, your family, all of the physical things in your life, and all the experiences you enjoy are all miracles.  Everything is a gift from God.  Even the things we call problems are really just gifts in response to our asking.  We are literally living that which we have asked for in every moment of life.  The miracles we are receiving are there because we have asked for them.

The trick is to intentionally attract the miracles you want, and to avoid as many of the undesirable ‘miracles.’  How do you do this?  There are many ways.

One way is called Selective Sifting.  I learned about it from Abraham-Hicks (http://www.abraham-hicks.com).

Selective sifting means to selectively look through your life for those things which please you the most.  Past, present and future.  Just put the words “Selective Sifting” and or “Intentionally Creating” on sticky notes or reminder cues everywhere you are.  Then remember to activate your mind regularly on the positive events of your life.

  1. Look through your past for the things you loved most.  Think of the people, places, things and experiences that you most enjoyed in your life.
  2. Also spend some time doing the same thing for your current situation.   Take some time and look for those things about your current life that please you the most.
  3. And then visualize into your future life for things that you will enjoy when you get there (virtual reality imagination).

What will begin happening when you do this regularly?  The Universe and the world around you will begin to reflect more of that which you are focusing on.  The things that you give your mental and emotional attention to will multiply in your physical reality.

This works all the time, every time.  No exceptions. The reason that some people think it does not work is simply because they have been lazily ‘reacting’ to and attracting more of the things in their life that they do not want.  The only reason that it may not work in the way that you want it to is if you do not do the steps with regularity.

I was watching Finding Nemo today with my kids when this great idea popped into my head.   It happened right in the middle of the movie when Nemo’s father Marlin is introduced to the “currents” of the ocean (eg. the Gulf Stream).  Watching the turtles enter the massive current got me thinking about the “stream” of energy we call life.   The stream of life has many names;  current of life, source energy, God force, chi, life force, all that is…  But they all refer to the same thing;  the non-physical vibration that feeds every living and non-living thing.

The idea I had during the movie was to imagine that I was in that ’stream’ cruising along like the turtles and selectively choosing those things I wanted in my experience… and at the same time bypassing those things I don’t want.

Do this exercise often enough and you’ll find those things you could only imagined would come true quickly become reality.

Perspectives on Mediocrity?

January 14, 2009

Are you showing up to your life with your best?  Are you giving everything you have to fulfilling your dreams and desires?  Or are you settling for mediocrity?

Have a look at this video and see if you have a change in your perspective…

Two things stand out right away when I watched this video:  perspective and dedication.

1. Perspective:  You see how the coach blindfolded his player before he coached him into doing something he never thought he could do?

When you are setting and working toward your goals it really helps if you can give yourself a change in perspective.

You cannot solve a problem with the same consciousness that created it. – Einstein

Give yourself the best opportunity to create change and manifest your goals by forcing yourself to look at your situation through new eyes (or no eyes at all).

2.  Dedication:  The coach asked his player to give him his best and then held him accountable for his commitment.

Dreams and dedication are a powerful combination. – William Longgood

Are you dedicated to achieving your best?  Or are you dedicated to mediocrity?

What can a good coaching program do for you?  Do you want to reach the 20 yard line?  50 yard line?  Or the 100 yard line landing in the end zone?

Have a look at my Beyond Vitality and Prosperity program.  I have created a very unique web-based multimedia coaching system that will give you the tools, processes, guidance and inspiration to take your life across the goal line!

Let’s get started right now!  Don’t wait a minute longer… the results will amaze you and the people around you.

Make it an amazing day!

10 Things You Can Do At Home Without Your Chiropractor

December 16, 2008

back-pain-921Here are my top 10 all-time proven strategies on how you can get out of pain and improve your function now!

Let’s face it, pain relief is one of the primary reasons people see a chiropractor.  It’s not the best reason, but it’s a good reason.  It’s worth mentioning quickly that Chiropractic’s most powerful benefits are related to a better functioning body overall – due to enhanced functioning of your nervous system resulting from a Chiropractic adjustment.

I will be the first to admit that I see a chiropractor for both reasons:  pain relief and improved function of my body.  I like it that my digestion is better when I get adjusted, but I really enjoy that my back feels better as well.

But let’s say you can’t get to your Chiropractor now… or you went and your still feeling some sort of pain (very common).  What can you do?

Ready?  Here you go:

1.  “Ice, Ice baby!” No, do not put on your favorite Vanilla Ice song and start shaking it…  If you are in pain and need some relief, reach for a good gel-type ice pack.  “But it’s cold outside,” says one of my clients…  So, get dressed up warm, turn up the heat and put that ice pack on your sore back or neck.  Do this for 20 minutes at a time.  Realize that it will feel coldest for the first 5 minutes, then the area goes numb and the coldness goes away.  Avoid using ice for longer than 30 minutes.  You can do more harm than good.

Miraculously Attract Dollars and Stimulate the Economy!

December 15, 2008

08-01-17_money8Let’s be realistic for a moment… the economy depends on you.  You make it flow with your earnings and your purchases.  You create abundance in your life and in the lives of others through your thoughts and your actions.  So do your job to help the economy.  Attract more dollars and spend more dollars.

I sat down today with an intention to write an article about improving your health over the holidays, but then I quickly realized that there is a lot more attention on money than health right now.  And besides, improving your finances will trickle over and help your health anyhow.

So how do you miraculously Attract more so you can Spend more?  Read the rest of this entry »


There’s Action in the Law of AttrACTION… just a different kind.

November 8, 2008

126597849_36666f83141By the time you are finished reading this article you will experience the feelings of relief and clarity about how the Law of Attraction really works.

You’ve heard the buzz haven’t you?  There has been so much chatter about the Law of Attraction in the last year…  I just entered the term into Google search and produced 5.4 million results!

The Law of Attraction teachings are truly changing the course of history.  Millions of people from all over the world are embracing the LOA and creating the life of their dreams.

Hundreds of my clients have literally transformed their life for the better by understanding how to effectively harness this limitless power through my Beyond Vitality and Prosperity (BVP) program.

On the flip side I have also heard many people expressing doubt and frustration with the Law of Attraction.  Here is a quote from a blog post I recently reviewed, “The teachers of Law of Attraction and the movie The Secret are misleading you.  They preach that all you have to do is feel good and stuff comes to you.  I disagree fully.  In order for things to come to you you must take action.” This person obviously does not understand the Law of Attraction.

Of course you have to take some action to get some action.  The key to success is understanding what kind of action to take and when to take it.

How do I explain this? Read the rest of this entry »
