How to get out of the way

One of the most powerful prayers I have ever prayed has come as a result of complete surrender to a difficult situation that I could not change. I was so distraught by my bonus-daughter's(we use this term instead of step because of it's positivity) behavior and lifestyle that I could no longer participate in her life.
First, she didn't really want me in it because of the shame that she was carrying and second, I was so tired of trying and hoping and being let down that I could no longer carry on in the same way I had.

Many people in relationships where one person is self destructive, keep hoping that things will change but they must realize it is not within their power to change another. How many times have we heard this? You can't change others, you can only change yourself, but keep going into the breach thinking, "this time will be different. This time it will make a difference." But it doesn't. Then it becomes enabling and the shame pit gets deeper and deeper.

So here I was at the end of my rope worn out emotionally and feeling sad. I found myself sitting in a bookstore cafe in Fairfield, Iowa. I had taken a lunch break from working with patients and found myself sitting in the self-help section of the shop. And to my right was a book title that caught my eye, "The Dynamic Laws of Prayer" by Catherine Ponder. Ms. Ponder is a prolific writer and minister of the Unity Church. I already had several of her books and didn't know this one even existed! I opened the book and found the Prayer of Release.

This prayer will save you all kinds of time, trouble and heartache. She writes in the chapter The Prayer of Cleansing about this Prayer of Release, "You must cleanse yourself of possessively clinging to other people in your life, telling them what to do in the name of "love," if you want your own prayers to be answered."

That really hit home! It described exactly what I had been doing with my bonus-daughter. And here is the prayer that helped me finally let go:

I fully and freely release you. I loose you and let you go.
I let go and let God have his way in your life.

That's it. Short, sweet and to the point. USE THIS PRAYER. If you have something or someone in your life that is not responding in a healthy way YOU need to let go. This doesn't mean you don't want them to get well but it releases YOU and your "need" to make them change. Everyone has their own path to walk, we cannot walk it for someone else. When you release others to their own path it is surprising what can now take place.

Oh and my bonus-daughter is now happy, healthy and fully engaged in a wonderful life!

What's pH got to do with Anxiety and Depression?

For years I have been introducing people to the concept of pH regulation in the body. pH is the potential for hydrogen. But what it means in health is how acid or alkaline our body is at any given time. I have been checking saliva pH during exams for years in order to show people how their emotions play a pivotal role in our body's regulation.

The body creates acid in normal metabolism. It also creates acid with negative thinking, stress and exercise. But this negative thinking can really cause many problems with acid and the body gets overwhelmed and then moves calcium from the bones into fluids to counteract the acid and relieve the body of high acid. Too bad it starts the process of osteoporosis!

Now a study from the University of Iowa, shows it! This study shows that pH effects the emotions and how the brain functions. The article published by Scientific American describes how this is demonstrated. It also re-enforces that exercise plays a key role in helping anxiety-attack and depression sufferers neutralize the acid build up in the brain actually causing anxiety attack.

There is help for anxiety. A combination of Bio Energetic Synchronization Technique and Emotional Freedom Technique were used to neutralize subconscious emotional memory override and to stop the continuation of the physiology of fear.

Here's what a practice member says, "I have had better feelings and haven't had any anxiety attacks and back pain no longer exists."

This person had an attack on the adjusting table during a visit one day and we were able to get it under control and dissipate it painlessly and without drugs. The side effect was relief and empowerment to heal oneself.

Now that's a side effect that anyone would love to have!

And then a miracle happened...

Robert was the most happy-go-lucky guy I know. When I saw him on Saturday after many years of being away, he was not the same man I once knew. And then a miracle happened...



Let me assure you, it is an honor to be in the presence of healing.
Thank you Robert for sharing yourself with others!

Belize Friends School on Prezi

The Belize Friends School

I'm BACK! And it was an amazing trip. I want to thank all of you who supported this mission with money, prayer and support of all kinds. The Belize Friends School, run by Sam & Becky Barber and Candi Young, received a check for over $600 US!
The kids at the school were so much fun to meet and to work with. You'll see them in the videos that are posted on Quantum Healing Chiropractic's Facebook page. I'll try to get some posted here too.

The damage from the hurricane was mostly water and mud on the school's ground floor. Many posters and text books were lost and some were drying out upstairs. You will be amazed at how the school works with 25 children, some illiterate, to get them ready to go into "college". This is the British system so the children test in 8th grade in order to be accepted into high schools called colleges, around the city.

Belize City is pretty depressed on the south side. There are gangs and violent crime. And as my seatmate on the plane to Miami told me "If someone owed me money down there, I'd let them keep it!" Meaning he wouldn't venture to the area where the school is. But this is where the need is greatest so this is where the school is.

There is also an empty building just behind the school. Dale Graves, also visiting, from Indiana, was able to meet with the owner and find out if he was willing to sell and for what price. The next step is an appraisal of the building. With it renovated it would be perfect for the school! And as I looked at this shell of a building I imagine it with classrooms and guest teachers that I had recruited, the yard filled with smiling faces on morning break and lots of laughing.
With God all things are possible, even a great Friends School in the heart of Belize City!

BELIZE IT OR NOT

I'm getting pretty excited because I'm leaving today for Belize!
The Barbers are reporting 25 students and 4 are girls! This is
pretty big news. They haven't had that many students enrolled at the
school before. It's going to be a wonderful adventure.
When I get back I'll be doing a program at our church, West Branch Friends, so I'll keep you posted in case you want to attend.

If you wanted to contribute to this mission and the school you still can! Just go to my Outreach page and click on DONATE!
All of your prayers and good wishes are much appreciated.

Oh, and Hurricane Richard, you don't scare me!
