True Power

I moved to Tucson last September with my family so I missed the monsoons by just a few weeks. This is my first summer experiencing them and they are truly amazing. I love the smell of desert rain and the calm that descends before the storm. And it is always fun to watch my kids running and jumping into the puddles once it starts coming down. But what I find most amazing is the raw power that the storms possess and watching that power overcome the Catalinas as the storm moves closer to where we live.

When I have an opportunity, I like to stand in the storm and absorb some of the power that it brings with it. Not only does it make me feel humble in comparison to this small display of God's power, thought it appears so large from my perspective, but it reminds me of the power we have within ouselves. We come from the same source or power that created the universe, the cosmos, the Earth, and of course the monsoon. This is very significant because with in each and every one of use resides this same power. We tend to easily forget our devine heritage and the devine qualities that comes with it, power being one of those qualities. It is this power that leads one man or woman to make a profound change in the world we live in. One individual can change the world! Look at how people such as Gandhi, Mother Teresa, and Martin Luther King have influenced the world be live in. The likes of Jesus, Buddha, and Mohommed have had such a profound influence on the world that thousands of years later, we still look to them for guidance. And this power is not simply limited to our ability to change the world around us, but to change the world within us as well. This often comes in the form of healing. There is no greater healing power in the world than that that which resides within oneself. Of course, this comes from our divine heritage, and as the Kingdom of God resides within ones heart, so to does the power to heal ones life!

This is why I am constantly amazed by the chiropractic adjustment. The nervous system serves as a physical conduit through which this power that I speak of flows. When our spine is not in alignment, this flow is disturbed, and the affect is not merely pain, but a lack of this power or expression flowing through our bodies. The right adjustment, at the right time, in the right place restores the flow of this power allowing our body to fully express its intelligence and healing power. I have seen one adjustment move mountains in a persons life. Which to me only reinforces the power that one has within to create change and heal in ways he/she never new to be possible.

In this way, the adjustment helps people realize and experience the power they have in their lives. The result it people take their power back and make choices in their lives that they did not realize they had the power to make. Anthony Robbins says "One decision can change your life forever." The key is to first realize that you have the power to make that decision. Once you realize the power you have, you can make that decision that will not only change your life forever, but change the lives of those around you forever. Now that is power! And here I thought the monsoons had power!
