Dear Doctor:
A good time was had by all at “The Master Plan 2007,” the Masters Circle seminar
held in Dallas this weekend. Along with outstanding presentations by industry
leaders like Guy Riekeman and Bob Hoffman, in attendance were top shelf healers
like Dick Versendaal of CRA, Sue and Ted Morter of BEST, Bill Doreste of Cranial
Release Technique, Ken Davis of Natural Force Healing, and world class extremity
experts Mark Charrette and Mitch Mally, a literal Who’s Who of progressive
thinkers.
A high point for me was hearing Donald Epstein’s observations on
Reorganizational Healing and Wellness. Always at the cutting edge of
contemporary thought, Donny, the founder of Network Spinal Analysis, was as
impish and insightful as ever, clever, relevant and playful, a genuinely
brilliant mind.
Is your orientation in practice around restoring the pre-disease condition, or
finding a new level of experience? Traditional approaches seek a return to
“normalcy” as opposed to seeing the current situation as a springboard or
gateway to break through to a new reality. Comparing “restorative healing” to
“reorganizational healing” begs the question of where wellness fits in – is it
merely the absence of measurable disease, or is it about potential, awareness
and higher consciousness?
Epstein re-languages and intensifies the discussion of mechanism vs. vitalism –
if wellness is about the status quo, then the process can be described as
restorative, and the best outcome you can anticipate would be health – not a bad
outcome, but is it all that true wellness offers?
With the concept of reorganizational healing, he opens the door to a new way of
looking at wellness, as a method of growth and further self actualization, not
just achieving a favorable symptomatic profile. Reorganization refers to an
intelligent application of natural forces to find a new configuration, an
adaptive creative process that improves upon and surpasses the previous best.
This perspective adds considerable value to the chiropractic adjustment, not
only as a treatment that provides relief and restores a stable condition, but as
an avenue to personal development that reveals new resources and implements new
physiological strategies, leading to a new worldview.
What really happens when someone lives relatively free of interference to normal
function? Can the intelligence of the body really grow it beyond typical adult
maturation, to blaze new trails in human potential? Is this a way to understand
evolution, to explain why civilizations thrive or perish, to validate success
philosophy, appreciating the present while eying a future of abundance?
We have yet to fully understand the power of an adjustment. We must do more to
comprehend the patterns the body/mind chooses to address its various issues.
Only by doing so can we expect to cooperate with the intention of healing, and
invite new dimensions of human experience, through reorganized, enhanced
function, and an ever-expanding sense of self, physically, mentally,
emotionally, and spiritually. It may turn out to be our contribution to the
advancement of the species.
