What are these mysterious phases that I keep hearing about? What’s really happening? Is there anything I can do to help?
These are very common questions that many people have when they first start with Network Chiropractic Adjustments. We will try to address this topic in a simple, straightforward way.
Emotional, chemical, mental and physical traumas will often exceed our body’s ability to handle the stress induced by those traumas. When the stress level is exceeded our body finds a way to “adapt”. This altered state can eventually become our “norm” and produce dominant patterns in our nervous system. A key part of this adaption is what chiropractors call a subluxation – a condition which alters the function of the nervous system. Network Chiropractic adjustments to correct these subluxations are initiated in a specific order so that the nervous system can return to its pre-altered state. This order is referred to as a phasing system._
The phasing system consists of ten phases. Each phase is correlated with a specific
part of the nervous system. The adjustments are made with the intent to clear a particular subluxation which is not allowing the person to live as fully as possible. Basically, the goal of Network Chiropractic is to correct subluxations in order to free up a person’s nervous system so that they can live here and now – in a clear state – rather than continue to live out traumas that have occurred in the past.
Perhaps you can remember a time when you were faced with a particular situation and although your mind told you one thing, you found yourself living out an old, familiar pattern that was undesirable to you and others. This is one way that our dominant patterns can control our lives. Network adjustments, “clearouts” as we call them, are designed to correct subluxations and clear altered nerve patterns.
Everyone is adjusted in all phases, at some time. NO ONE PHASE IS BETTER THAN ANOTHER! It is essential that there is no judgement or interpretation of what phase you are in or how fast you think you are moving. There is no competition here. Your Innate Intelligence knows exactly where you are and precisely what you can handle each time you are adjusted. Trusting in your inner wisdom is an important factor in this process. We are all unique individuals and there is no way to compare one person’s process to another’s. The goal is to be freed from the adverse effects of subluxations and become more of who you are… THE MORE YOU ARE DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS, THE MORE YOU ARE YOU!
