It is easy to forget that we are whole beings, especially when we are so used to compartmentalizing everything today. Even our lives are thought of in separate portions of time, childhood, adolescence, adulthood. Unfortunately with adulthood comes responsibility, and on its back hitchhiking is stress. The responsibilities of the lives that we lead today have set us on a busy path. It is easy to forget to keep some time for yourself to maintain all aspects of health.
We are whole beings.
Many times we may fail to remember that we are not just the sum of the parts we see in the mirror. Our bodies are not the only parts of us that require maintenance. Each of us has a rational brain, an emotional heart and a bright spirit. They are all connected and with this connection, all influence each other creating a whole being.
Stress is one of the most common causes of Subluxation. In turn subluxations cause many health problems because they cut off the vital information coming from the brain to the rest of the body. The causes of stress can be from our physical body or traumas there to. Also our emotions and mental stress can manifest themselves into physical form. The mind body connection can be the most important, and is also the most ignored.
