Get The "Big Idea"

To the world you may be just one.  However when you begin to understand the nature of the universe you begin to see yourself as the world.  There is a natural phenomena called the butterfly effect, in which it is understood that seemingly small events can and do produce large effects down the road.  For example, a butterfly flapping its wings off the coast of Japan can be a contributing factor in a tsunami on the coast of North America. 

The same is true in all of our lives.  What may seem like small changes in your body, in your health, in your perspectives, in your behaviours can and do produce a tsunami of effects both inside and around you.  Know this.  Below I have included a beautiful piece by one of my heroes, B.J. Palmer, to further outline this effect.  I encourage you to recognize all the seemingly small things you choose to do and to celebrate the potentially enormous effects they contribute to your transformation. You are the change you wish to see in the world! 

Blessings,

Small Things Are Large ~ BJ Palmer

    A slip on the snowy sidewalk, in winter, is a small thing.  It happens to millions.
    A fall from a ladder, in the summer, is a small thing.  That also happens to millions.
    The slip or fall produces a subluxation.  The subluxation is a small thing.
    The subluxation produces pressure on a nerve.  That pressure is a small thing.
    The pressure cuts off the flow of mental impulses.  That decreased flowing is a small thing.
    That decreased flowing produces a dis-eased body and brain.  That is a big thing to that man.
    Multiply that sick man by a thousand, and you control the physical and mental welfare of a city.
    Multiply that man by a million and you shape the physical and mental destiny of a State.
    Multiply that man by one hundred thirty million, and you forecast and can prophesy the physical and mental status of a nation.

    Now comes a man.  Any one man is a small thing.
    This man gives an adjustment.  The adjustment is a small thing.
    The adjustment replaces the subluxation.  That is a small thing.
    The adjusted subluxation releases pressure upon nerves.  That is a small thing.
    The released pressure restores health to a man.  That is a big thing to that man.
    Multiply that well man by a thousand, and you step up physical and mental welfare of a city.
    Multiply that well man by a million, and you increase the efficiency of a State.
    Multiply that well man by one hundred thirty million, and you have produced a healthy, wealthy, and better race for posterity.
    So adjustment of the subluxation, to release pressure upon nerves, to restore mental impulse flow, to restore health, is big enough to rebuild thoughts and actions of the world.
