A note to my Most Precious Tribe
I am learning to sacrifice more an more each day. It is a constant battle between my heart’s
desire and my brain telling me to make the “right” decision. I recognize that
the heart is often right , especially when practicing heart based
communication. I also realize that some decisions should be made after
particular contemplation.
Building a practice is truly a labor of love. Each day I am
dedicating more and more time to it. I wish to create the best experience for
my future patients. I know that I cannot just open the door and expect a line
of people to walk in…although I am putting that out in the universe! Painstakingly doing my due diligence each day
and I am already seeing the benefits. With each person I meet with I know that
I am creating exactly the community I want to serve. Setting aside,
temporarily, personal ambitions and desires to manifest my perfect destiny. I
feel more than blessed to have met the people I am networking with and am
thankful for those I will meet in the future.
I envision Santa Barbara as just the beginning. I imagine it
as the epicenter for all that is Genuine Chiropractic!
I am living the life, to the best of my abilities, as if
this success has already happened. I
cherish my weekends, spending them at multiple farmer’s market purchasing the
best organic food. Throughout the week I prepare delicious meals and snacks from
the Earth’s bounty and thank the Earth, the sun and water as well as our creator
for it each day. I say and write what I am thankful for each day. I have a
daily goals log as well as an action journal. The goals log is personal and the
action journals for GC. I write down everything I have accomplished that
particular day for GC and what I am grateful for. Being super organized is critical for working
toward goals large and small. I keep a log of all communications, with the date,
name of the person, form of communication and topics discussed. This provides me
with a great record and saves time, overall. Time in this world is precious so
I wish to maximize it while still enjoying it. Other weekend activities I enjoy
include going to church (often multiple denominations) and getting in quality
outdoor time. Reconnecting with the Earth is an important part of my life. We
used to spend most of our lives outdoors and now yes the shelter is nice when
there is extreme weather but we are not getting that outdoor time our body’s
need. We need to be in the sun to produce vitamin D. We need to walk barefoot
in the dirt and swim in the ocean to absorb ions from the planet. Having
windows open allows important microbes into the home that help build healthier
immune systems. Constant cleaning using products which destroy all life forms
has an extreme negative impact on our health. So I find I need this time
outside in order to feel balanced. When I have been indoors for what I perceive
to be too long my body literally freaks out. It is a similar feeling to when I
am subluxated in my spine and I am sure it is leading to subluxation as
well! I get irritable, antsy and know I
need to make a change immediately. When you are in tune with your innate you
will recognize similar feelings. Listen to them, your body is super
intelligent! I find no matter how large the space I get emotional if I have
been cooped up for too long. My body is screaming
at me, “go outside, breathe in the fresh air, embrace nature and your ancestral
roots!” When I hit the “snooze” button
it only makes it worse! Stop hitting the “snooze” button of life. This button
includes: “I’ll tell them I love them later” or “I’ll do that tomorrow,” Do it
now and stay on purpose by listening to your innate intelligence. The wisdom your
body holds is awesome and ignoring it leads to a life of regret and
subluxation.
I believe that sacrifice can be one of the highest forms of
showing love and true service. Setting aside material needs, self serving
ambitions and superficial dreams. Yes, it is difficult… but is it worth it to
you? Can you look at yourself in the mirror or go within your most delicate
heart space and ask yourself if you are selfless or selfish? We all have
moments we are selfish. In the moments of jealousy and rage we are simply acting selfishly. Give
yourself a time limit to feel these emotions and then let it go. This takes great
practice but just becoming aware will immediately change your
biochemistry. Start thinking how can I
give up something I thought I cared about to make this world a bit better when
I leave? I can honestly say there are few worldly possessions I am emotionally attached
to. When I watched my mother die, when I was 14, I realized nothing material
mattered. Of course, I like to dress professionally and like a early ‘60s “modern”
woman. Does it really matter? The answer is no. Losing my sight has also helped
me realize the physical in its most superficial sense is irrelevant. I seek to
love people for their hearts, their souls and energy. I love being in the
presence of that deep, visceral energy. It is hard to explain, but if you have
it, I’ll be sure to tell you! The more intrigued I am the more I place my right
hand over my heart space when I am talking with someone . I find myself blocking
my heart space, with my left hand, which is the maternal side when I feel an
energy that I do not want interrupting my heart space. This is not something that
can be truly taught , it is realized when you are in union with innate. If someone says something beautiful, you must
tell them in that moment. Otherwise that moment is lost to the universe and you will feel it
bounce back toward you every so often but it will never be that perfect moment
again. Express love when you feel it, hug that person instead of contemplating it
until the moment is gone. When you know the right decision is sacrifice then
give something up. What are you willing to give up to manifest your ideal
future? What are you willing to say in order to realize your dreams? Can you
step outside your comfort zone? Can you love
to love and learn to let go of superficial love? Can you go deep and be on my
level of embracing and loving the spirit?
When I love you, I love you for who you are. I cannot see you and I do
not care to in a way. I think that you are beautiful because of your energy. I
think that you are amazing for your sacrifices and even more inspiring for your
gifts. When I love you truly, I will always love you. I am so grateful for the people in my life, teaching
me each day how to love and how to sacrifice. I am thankful for each experience
good or bad. I cherish both feelings and know that that they are temporary.
I love the future I am creating for my life because I know
how many lives will be changed. The day I am no longer living my purpose is the
day I create a new, higher purpose. I
am sacrificing my sight in order to create a vision of a hopeful future. I am
role modeling this experience to help others realize what matters. For me, love
and genuine service is most important. I love you all and look forward to
serving you. Thank you for allowing me to sacrifice part of myself in order to
live a life of purpose. Together we will experience highs and lows but in love
and light we will thrive.
