Misaligned
Years ago, when I first started out on my healing journey, I realized I was misaligned & I noticed this in others as well.
They weren’t just misaligned in a spinal alignment sense, they were misaligned in a way of being; they were acting in a way that was not who they genuinely are. In other words, they had maladaptive behavior that was incongruent with their essence.
It makes sense, looking back, how being a Chiropractor would lead me down this path of discovery.
I quickly realized that I was more interested & passionate about character misalignments, than just physical ones. I became committed to this exploration & mastering skills that would help deepen this realization that I had.
Many people diminish the magnitude of how these misalignments impact their health, body & other areas of their lives.
People mostly think of what affects their health & life in a purely physical sense, but fail in holistically thinking about all the other things that can impact them.
Underestimating how one's misaligned behavior & living in an incongruent way to their authentic self, is an oversight with numerous ill-effects. Most don't realize this can have a tremendous impact on their health & quality of life.
If it's not clear what these misalignments can look like, here are a few examples:
There are people who are disconnected from being sensitive. It causes them to speak & act from a tough exterior & totally abandon a beautiful, loving person inside themselves.
There are powerful women who act meek & “go with the flow” for fear of embodying their true capability to draw boundaries for themselves & loved ones & stepping into empowered aspects of their truer selves.
There are men who, at their core, are honest & have integrity, but who’ve abandoned these aspects. They’ve been stuck in a childish way of being that is serving only to their needs & thus overlooking others' best interests.
Sometimes these types of misalignments are blatant & clear & at times it takes a refined eye to spot them (that’s my job).
Simply taking a closer look at misalignments you may have, can allow your attention to see things in a new holistic way.
