April - May 2014 “You are here to enable the divine purpose of the universe to unfold. That is how important you are!” Don't Rush!Let's face it - even those of us who love winter are ready for a change. This long, cold winter has left us all ready for some sun and warm and outdoors anything. This means we need to be extra thoughtful as we transition to a different lifestyle.... This time of year is typically challenging as (most of us) finally migrate up and off the couch and into the garden, the lake, running shoes, the wheelbarrow, the mountain bike… Whatever your thing is, you're usually returning to it about now and using your body in ways it is supposed to be used - but ways it hasn't been for a third of a year - it's an adjustment to get outdoors and push ourselves, often pushing hard. We need to be attentive to the unpleasant but essential feedback our body offers about how we're treating it because the nice weather has been "stop and go." Already some of the members of our practice-family have been in two or three times with new strains due to pushing themselves too hard, then returning to a sedentary pace when the weather chills again. As a loving encouragement, pace yourself as you return to the outdoors and listen to that fabulous feedback mechanism God and evolution gave you, the symptom! Enjoy the sun, News from UsFree Parking!!!Okay, well it's not THAT exciting, but I wanted to remind all our long-term clients and inform our new friends that we offer free parking for the Memorial Day madness here in Boalsburg.When you arrive at the office, you'll see we have the entrance blocked off with sawhorses - just move them, pull in, then put them back to discourage others from coming in. Act like you own the place so strangers think you do so they won't ry to get in on the action.... If the lot is full, please be cool and don't park anyone else in. Don't use the handicapped space unless you can do so legitimately. You must leave a note on your dashboard saying you are parked there with my permission, otherwise the landlord might get grumpy and have you towed. Just sayin'. Then have a blast!. Help Us Help More PeoplePlease take a moment to like us on Facebook, write a Recommendation at LinkedIn, or write a short review at Yelp. Thank you very, very much! For those of you who may have missed it, we spent several months producing a series of videos on chiropractic, Gonstead, adjusting and spiritual psychology which are all posted on our website and on our video channel on YouTube. In the coming year my intention is to record a series of videos for the most common stretching and strengthening exercises we do so you'll have a visual reference in addition to memory and handouts.New Research"Manipulation" the Best Tx (Again) for Low Back Pain"Overall, 12 sessions of spinal manipulation in six weeks from a chiropractor yielded the most favorable pain and functional disability improvement for chronic nonspecific LBP," the authors write. "However, the recommendation is made with caution because the gradient of treatment effects across dose groups was too small to clearly distinguish 12 visits from adjacent dose levels." First of all, "manipulation" isn't adjusting. Second of all, diversified isn't Gonstead - Gonstead is far superior and far more specific. Third, and I hate to say this, but I participated in chiropractic college research while I was in school, and it was poorly done. A real issue with chiropractic research is how to effect a placebo, or sham, adjustment when any input can affect the body. More wasted money... Read more... Featured Practitioner — Rae Stefaniak, Licensed Massage Therapist
As many of you already know, our sad news is that Dr. Chris left the practice to move closer to home and family, and we wish him joy and abundance in his new life. The happy news is that our wonderful office staff Rae has decided to take up residence in our office to offer her profound healing massage. She is a licensed massage therapist focusing on working with women on their healing. We first met Rae about four years ago and have been trying to bring her on as staff or as a therapist ever since, but for some reason the timing just never worked out. Under the name Shealer Massage, Rae will start seeing clients in June, and later in the year she will be launching a series of workshops the she developed through her LovEvolution project. We're really excited about this development, and if you want to read more about her practice you can visit our newsletter archives page to read my interview with her. In celebration of opening her practice with us, she's extending a 10% off coupon to all our existing clients for their first session, just mention this email.... InspiringBrendon Burchard is one of my heroes, despite his being much younger than I am... I hope you enjoy him, too. 
Gary Zukav, The Seat of the SoulThis is definitively a "California," "hippie," "new age" take on the soul and it's journey - not for our clients who are conservative in their Christianity! It is a beautiful book with gentle and inspiring discussions about where we come from, what we're doing here, and where we're headed as souls. I didn't realize until I chose the book for this newsletter that it's the 25th anniversary of publication - there's a new anniversary edition with a workbook you might enjoy, too..
