Your Connection With Innate, by Dr. Ogi Ressel

Wednesday, February 11th 2009

Warm hellos to everyone,

Let's have a good yak about something we all talk about, discuss
with each other at seminars and  conventions, and generally accept
as part of Chiropractic, BUT (there goes that word again) from my
perspective, have little understanding of - INNATE.

I was listening to Dr. Wayne Dyer on PBS recently - I believe that either
he once was a chiropractor in a past life, or he is very much connected
to Innate in a way that most of us would like to be - and should be.
That is probably why he is a frequent speaker at chiropractic seminars.
He framed an observation in his children's bedroom which was read by all his kids 
each and every morning:

                  Good Morning,
              This is God.
              I will be handling
              ALL of your 
              Problems today.
              I will not need 
              Your help, so have
              A miraculous day.

Awesome!

The problem is that as we go through life, our experiences often have
us become disassociated from the Innate that we really all are a very
intimate part of. Our hunger for success, "things," survival, etc, tends
to overshadow the fact that we are all very much connected to a higher
power and resonate at a higher frequency -  something we all forget.
We become disconnected. ...and that is when we become unhappy,
dissatisfied, angry, selfish, self-centered, power-hungry, feel lost,
unappreciated, a victim, etc. - the list is huge.

One thing that we need to remember is that joy and happiness is our
natural state - if you are not experiencing these, you are not connected
to your Innate power.

Take a close look a babies, for a moment. They have done nothing to be
so joyful about. They don't drive the latest bimmer, own the largest house,
have a yacht, own part of a golf club, have awinter home in the Caribbean,
and they don't have a practice - they don't even see a single patient!
No new patients at all!  Zip. Nada. Zilch. Squat. Niet. Nic. They don't work.
They poop in their pants and someone cleans it up. They have no goals
other than to expand, grow and experience this wondrous world. They love
everyone. They are completely entertained by an empty plastic bottle or a
set of keys or goofy faces and they are in a perpetual state of love and affection.

What's worse is that they have no hair - they are bald, they have no teeth,
they are pudgy and they are flatulent. Yet they are always happy, joyful and
easily pleased. Why? They are connected to their Innate and experience no
resistance to being in a state of joy.

So....Like a baby that you once were, you don't need a reason to be happy -
your desire to be so is sufficient.  

Many of us "lose it" though. We become so preoccupied with "crap" that we
lose sight of our innate connection - and that is when things seem to go wrong.

Here is what I would like to suggest for you to do to get started on becoming
reconnected with the power of the universe:

Spend a little time holding a baby in your hands - look into his/her eyes. See
the love that lives there. Connect with it. Let go of all your other "pressures"
and just be there. Experience.
You don't need to say a word. The baby will understand. And so will you if you
listen hard enough.
Where can you get a baby? "Borrow" one, rent one (I'm teasing), but spend
a little time with one.

Warmest connections,
Dr. Ogi Ressel
