Who We Are...
Expressions-of-Life was founded in 2007 as a means of raising awareness to alternative health care modalities and personal health. Our personal artforms are Chiropractic and Reiki, but the list of Specialties is endless, and all have their benefits.
What has become of health care in our country is nothing short of a disaster. We have become a society that would prefer to use drugs or surgery to treat our problems rather than seek out non-invasive, gentle techniques that offer the same or better care with no negative side effects.
We have become a society of symptoms. We believe that if we make the runny nose go away, or irradiate the cells, or take a pill for the aching finger, that we are miraculously healed. But this is far from the truth.
It is our belief that wellness and prevention are the greatest gift that a health care provider can give his patient.
"Doctors pour drugs of which they know little, to cure diseases which they know less, into human beings of whom they know nothing" ~Voltaire
Some Food For Thought...
Last year hundreds of thousands of human lives were lost as a direct result of medical care in our country. A recent study found that on average 48,000 to 98,000 Americans die each year from Medical errors. Another study showed that over 2 million Americans contracted nosicomial (secondary) infections from in-hospital care last year. These infections resulted in over 90,ooo deaths in one year. So based on these studies alone, there will be at least 138,000 deaths as a result of medical care in our country this year.
How many lives were lost last year as a direct result of all other alternative health care professions combined?
Zero.
Common sense would dictate that health-care would be approached first from the least invasive method, and then progress to the extreme and invasive methods only if there is no choice, and only if the other methods have failed to produce results.
Unfortunately the United States is trapped in a medical paradigm that medicates first and seeks 'alternative' methods only when these foreign medical substances do not work to alleviate symptoms.
The mindset is slowly beginning to shift however, and people are waking up to the possibilities that exist within the realms of 'alternative' health-care and realizing that perhaps this really is the only method of 'true and correct' health-care.
"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease" ~Thomas Edison
A new understanding of healthcare and wellness
"At this very hour, the world is seething with unrest in its search for not a specialist in this or that, or the other, but a specialist in mankind as such, who views man as combined as spirit, soul, and body; and recognizes that the inter-action of the three is so close that they can never touch one without touching all three." ~Alexander Cannon
The Awakening...
We firmly believe that the world is on the verge of anawakening of consciousness. In the ancient times, philosophers spenttheir time pondering the deepest mysteries of life. The world wasfilled with spiritual beings, seeking enlightenment and a deeperconnection with that Universal 'Something.'
Then somewhere along the wayhumanity forgot that they were spiritual beings and began filling theirtime with farming, and industry, and technology, and war. We are nowgetting to a critical mass of technology and industry where we arerealizing that we are killing ourselves and we are killing our planet. With the new advances in technology people once again have time to sitand ponder, and those people are starting to notice that their livesare missing something,
And now, ever so slowly, humanity's conciousness isbeginning to remember that we are spiritual beings, and that we havelost our conection with that Universal Something.
The Power of Touch...
The power of touch is unmistakeable. People have known for centuries that the simple power of touch has amazing therapeutic benefits to the mind and body. This is an inherant knowing in every human being, and one that can be easily illustrated. When a child injures himself, he will instinctively grab the affected area. This begins the healing process on a very unconscious level. Physiologically, the body shifts its focus to the area that is in need of healing, but this is not only because of the injury itself. This is just as much a result of the attention that you have put on the area, and your intention to heal the injury. Think back to a time when you injured your finger. Remember that when you would look at your injury, or think about what had happened, that your finger would begin to pulse under the bandage? This is the exact same response. When you place your attention on a specific area of your body, this is where healing flows. This is an inherant power that everyone posesses.
The amazing thing about the power of touch is that it can be conveyed from one person to another in exactly the same manner. When the child is injured he goes to his parents. The mother not only dresses the wound, but by the simple act of caring for her child she is also giving him hope, and compassion, and love. Her attention and intention have also added to the healing process in a way that cannot be conveyed in any other manner.
This is a power that can be accessed by every human being. At the very core of our existence, we are all natural healers, but we have lost our understanding of this invaluable artform. When we begin to pay attention to the connection between our body and our mind, then we take the first step in regaining this lost art.
