HOW YOU EXPRESS YOUR UNIQUE POWER
October 11th is National Coming Out Day. This day was chosen in 1987 to be a day to celebrate the strength and bravery of those in the LGBTQ community to come out and live as their authentic selves. The innate power of this action is hard to explain, and even harder to understand if one does not have to walk this road. As I sit here and ponder why this is important—why we celebrate—I am drawn to one of the core tenants of Principled Chiropractic.
One of the defining aspects of Rising Chiropractic—the thing that we believe makes us so special—is our uniqueness. We are not your typical health care provider, and we definitely stand out among chiropractors. This comes primarily from who we are as individuals and our personal beliefs regarding people and the world around us. Everyone working here values others as unique, special human beings, with boundless power to be whoever they are born to be. The people who walk through our doors are not soul-less patients; they are individuals who are seeking help to rise above and break through the barriers of their life. They seek health. Rising Chiropractic exists to be a part of that process.
There is a phrase in chiropractic: Above, Down, Inside, Out—or ADIO for short. This four-word phrase holds a great deal of power. It is a simple means of explaining the complex neurophysiology that keeps us alive and makes us who we are. ADIO, boiled down, is the expression of life. The brain controls and coordinates every aspect of the human body. The brain is the ABOVE. Life sustaining signals and communication flows through the spinal cord—the DOWN. The energy this creates then moves from INSIDE the body, to all nerves attached to the spinal cord and OUT to the rest of the body. From there, that energy flows outside the body where it influences the world around us.
This simple phrase—ADIO—holds tremendous power. ADIO is perfect. The life energy that flows down from the brain is perfect and is exactly as nature intends. ADIO is your innate power. It is where your strength, fortitude, and potential originate. There are no mistakes. What this means is that the authentic YOU is perfect, exactly the way nature intended. Despite the adversity you experience in life, the underlying capacity you hold is immense, and it can change the world.
Our mission at Rising Chiropractic is to help you rise above your limitations and trust your innate power to live in health. We seek to remove that which prevents the full expression of life and help you realize your full potential. Whoever you are, in whatever way you identify your place in this world, we are humbled to be a part of your journey. You are not just a number or a statistic—you are family.
