The Tall Poppy Syndrome

Every year there are fields and fields of millions and millions of poppies all living, growing and doing what poppies do.  And in these fields of millions there are a select few poppies who dare to be different.  In the sea of millions the few who choose to be different, choose to go for it, to stretch themselves, to grow to be all that they can be.  These few poppies find themselves ahead of the crowd, with their blossoms shining brightly for all to see, expressing their true greatness, being all that God intended them to be.  It’s not that they are being boastful, ego driven, selfish, or even that they are suppressing the growth of their neighbors around them.  They are simply being all that they can be which few of the other poppies attempt to be.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear

is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

These tall poppies act as an inspiration for others to step up, to stretch themselves, to go for it.  And many times they are just that for those around them, actually encouraging everyone to be better.  But there is also another part of the story.  Because of their obvious height difference these poppies make themselves the obvious targets for early harvest.  These tall poppies become the first to be cut, the first to be harvested, the first to be picked out amongst the crowd.

We ask ourselves,

‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’

Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.

This story is of course a mirror and a metaphor for us humans as well.  In fact, so much so, that in many parts of the world they speak about the “tall poppy syndrome”, where people literally are afraid to stand out in a crowd for fear of being cut down, being targeted, or being picked on.  Wow, how unfortunate.

Your playing small does not serve the world.

There's nothing enlightened about shrinking

so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

Stop and have a look, how much does the “tall poppy syndrome” play an effect in your life?  Are you afraid to stand out, to shine brighter than others, to be different, to achieve your dreams?  Or perhaps you are the one targeting the tall poppies.  Do you find it easy to blame, to judge, to criticize those around you who are successful?   Do you envy those who have what you want?  Do you find it easy to gossip about the rich and famous, or the influential and successful in your town?  Whether we are afraid of being a tall poppy or judging the tall poppies the effects are just as devastating. 

We are all meant to shine, as children do.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God

that is within us.

It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.

Now more than ever the world needs tall poppies.  The world needs people to step into their greatness, their full self.  The world needs leaders, ones to guide the way, and each and every person to do their unique part.  So step up, rise up, be who you were intended to be and who cares if you’re taller than the others and if you get cut down a little. Know that this is just part of the game of being a tall poppy.   

And as we let our own light shine,

we unconsciously give other people

permission to do the same.

As we're liberated from our own fear,

our presence automatically liberates others."

Quote is by Marianne Williamson from book, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of ‘A Course in Miracles’  Harper Collins, 1992

Terminal – According to Who?

What does it mean if you are diagnosed terminal?  

According to the person who has told you, according to the body of knowledge that this person has, of people who have the same disease markers as you, if you follow this person’s recommendations then you are going to die.

There are other considerations to make before swallowing the diagnosis hook, line and sinker, for instance:  What is the body of knowledge that this person has?

How many spontaneous remissions/healings does this person know of? (Remember that every disease know to man someone has had a spontaneous remission of).

Where did this person gather their body of knowledge?

What forms of treatment were they considering?  Just surgery?  Just chemotherapy?  

What was the population base of the other people?  What were they eating?  Were they exercising?  Were they in loving relationships?  What were their internal states?  Did they consider their traumas and wounds?  Alignment of their spine?  Movement of Chi energy?

If you are given a diagnosis by someone and you don’t like the diagnosis I encourage you to get another diagnosis!

And remember we all have a terminal sexually transmitted disease, it’s called life!  Live yours today!

The Five Most Important Universal Truths Taught by Dr. Norm

 1.         There is an intelligence in all things that is perfect in its expression all of the time. This intelligence made you, heals you, and is you, and is communicated primarily along your nervous system.


2.         Life is a process. You are in a constant state of change. As co-creator of your life you get to choose how your life will unfold and how you respond to your life experiences. Every thought, word and action will move you in the direction of health, wellness and connection; or towards illness, dis-ease and separation.


3.         Everything is energy and has its own vibration or frequency to it, which determines its characteristics, both quality and quantity. Your spinal cord is the main conduit for life force energy to flow through you, therefore the shape, position and tone of your spinal cord will determine the shape, position and tone of you and your life.


4.         Four things are necessary for maximum health and wellbeing, supporting you to be the best “YOU” you can be.
a)  Clarity - having a clear intention and direction in life; aligning your thoughts, words, and actions with what you want to be, do, and have.
b)  Connection - a clear neurological connection so you can ideally express yourself.
c)  Energetic Alignment - an open, flexible, and aligned spine allowing your life force to flow in greater quantity and quality.
d)  Wellness - a healthy lifestyle that supports you with everything you need to be your best.


5.         There is both a mind-body connection and also a body-mind connection.  Becoming more connected and consciously aware of your body will move you towards wholeness.

What Is An Innate Intensive? ~ The Beacon for April 29, 2014

"With Innate, we are alive. 
Without Innate, we are dead. 
With only a portion of Innate at work, we are sick. 
With all of Innate at work, we are well. 
Innate is the beginning, source, cause, the only cause;
all that follows is incidental."
–Dr. BJ Palmer, D.C.

Let me remind you of what Innate does.  There are two roles of Innate:

1)    One is to run and regulate your body.  

2)    The other is to run and regulate your life.

An Innate Intensive is a 30 day focused journey to help you nourish and cultivate your relationship with Innate, bringing you home to you.  It will have you practicing your practice.  Being a human “being” not just a human “doing”. It will be unique opportunity for each of us as we are all unique.  You will learn to expand through fear and limitation reconnecting you with your true self.  Through it you will definitely grow in self confidence, personal awareness and self acceptance.  If you want to fast track your healing and personal connection come join our conscious group of wonderful Innately driven people for a one month intensive with 4 supportive workshops.  

"If you have no belief in yourself, how can you expect other people- your company, or your customer to believe in you?"
–Dr. BJ Palmer, D.C.

The practice will focus on SRI - Somato Respiratory Integration breathing exercises, journaling, meditation and alignment; connecting body, mind and spirit.  You truly have everything inside of you for a healthy and happy life.  We just gotta getcha connecting with it.
