BJ PALMER'S PIVOTAL INFLUENCE IN HEALING
BJ Palmer, the developer of Palmer College and chiropractic, had a profound understanding of how the innate intelligence in the body can heal the body when free of interference.
His success allowed him to fund several studies around the nervous system. He also utilized x-rays to measure and improve the techniques involved in adjusting. He attracted a lot of students and developed the college to teach these healing methods. The life changing results he was able to help people achieve was a testimony of his thorough and advanced understanding of the body and how we interact with it.
He taught people to believe miracles are possible and their is a limitless potential within each of us. When properly cared for, the body can do amazing things! Therefore, he developed the Three-Legged Stool Metaphor to help guide people with core principles as they learn to best maintain the body.
OPTIMAL EXPRESSION OF INNATE INTELLIGENCE
Innate Intelligence, or sometimes referred to as Universal Intelligence, is the God-given inborn wisdom of the body that tells you to breath, heal, grow, beat your heart, deliver nutrition to proper regions, and all the amazing functions we continue to discover.
Innate Intelligence is the incredible capacity to grow a whole person from the moment of conception and continue to care for that person the best it can throughout life.
INTERFERENCES, such as thoughts, traumas, toxins or an overwhelmed threshold, prevent the body from functioning optimally. When interreferences are present, the body compensates and does what it needs to continue to function as optimally as it can with presence of these interferences.
When we take action to assist our body in removing and healing these interferences, the body's INNATE INTELLIGENCE is able to function OPTIMALLY. Providing you the best expression of life.
THREE LEGGED STOOL METAPHOR
The Three Legged Stool Metaphor is the concept that the strongest structure in nature is the triangular shape and the strongest foundation for us to rest on is a three legged stool. Therefore, BJ created this metaphor to help people have the strongest practice in allowing their INNATE INTELLIGENCE TO FUNCTION OPTIMALLY.
We cannot look at people as one entity or the other, people are wholesome and complete entities filled with a complexity of what creates the body.
The three components, The PHILOSOPHY, ART and SCIENCE, are the strong legs to develop wholesome living. We all have a pursuit of how we want to deepen our understanding of something. What you are hoping to accomplish and the method you choose to accomplish it is unique to us as individuals.
The stronger your foundation in the philosophy behind why you exist in a certain manner, the science behind the discovery and methods in which to accomplish it and the style and expression you choose is your artistic creation unique to you.
Therefore we should approach life with these three core principles in mind.
CORE PRINCIPLES OF A HEALTHFUL LIFESTYLE
"PHILOSOPHY is the pursuit of wisdom and the exploration of fundamental questions about the nature of reality, knowledge, values, and existence." (philosophy.fsu.edu)
Here at the Vitalis Centrum, we want to encourage people to pursuit a deeper and wholesome understanding around the function of the body and discover a holistic approach to understanding you and your health!
The ART of how we live out life is the choices we choose to make in expressing who we are and how people interact with us.
The art of adjusting and training that we have developed is a reflection of understanding that the body is a masterpiece with a variety of components involved and when we get them all working in an aligned way, the greatest expression of life is possible!
Oxford Dictionary defines SCIENCE as the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation, experimentation, and the testing of theories against the evidence obtained.
Discovering your own methods in caring for and supporting the body is essential in growth. We guide individuals in optimizing their healthful methods to best experience life!
