Cosmic Consciousness

  • Created in Newsletter Library, Mind-Body Connection

For thousands of years, humanity has struggled to understand the place of men and women in the universe. All sorts of explanations have been brought forward, many proposing that humanity is part of a greater whole and helps contribute to the welfare of all. Equally many theories suggest that humanity is the center of the universe for which all else exists. Whether one conceives that humankind is a contributing partner in the web of life, or whether one takes the position that humans rule over all else, taking what we need from the resources freely provided, all can agree there is much to be learned from the natural world.

In particular, men and women can learn how to maintain a healthy physical existence. But it seems we have not learned the lessons available with any sort of effectiveness. Research shows that more than half of all adults in the United States have at least one chronic disease. Worldwide, chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and cancer account for more than 60% of all deaths annually. Recently, the prevalence of chronic diseases has been largely attributed to lifestyle. Whether you consistently eat a nutritious diet and engage in regular vigorous exercise has a great deal to do with your present state of health and the likelihood of developing a life-threatening chronic disease in the future.1,2

If we were really paying attention, even those of us who live in urban areas would recognize that all other forms of life with whom we share this planet engage in regular exercise on a daily basis. For example, it seems that birds only really rest when they're asleep for the night. Rabbits and squirrels are continually on the move searching for food. Bees are constantly in flight and ants are always on the march. Even plants get their exercise by daily phototropic behaviors, turning their stalks, extending their stems, and turning their leaves toward the sun to obtain their form of daily nutrition. And, of course, with the exception of domesticated pets and animals caged in zoos, you never see an overweight or obese robin, finch, hawk, bunny, or bumblebee.

Thus, it's important to recognize that even with our vaunted self-awareness and reasoning ability, we are nonetheless quite similar, physiologically at least, to all other creatures. It's not necessary for us to develop a radical cosmic consciousness, but it is necessary to be able to discern what's beneficial for us. Extending the well-known proverb, what's good for the goose is not only good for the gander, but good for us, too. By making our own the regular, sensible habits of other living beings, men and women around the world can obtain higher levels of health, wellness, and well being, now and into the future.3

Testimonial

  • "I was always very skeptical of Chiropractors until I had back pain which was beginning to get complicated. I came to this office and the education I received made me begin to rethink my opinion. The staff was pleasant, the Doctors were friendly and the cost was affordable. Not to mention that the Christian environment made me comfortable. I had 3 weeks of treatments and after 2 weeks my pain was 90% gone. I am grateful to God for the healing He have me through the skill that He gave his servants, Drs. John and Joseph. This office is really worth the try."
    Lynette Bruce
  • "I came in 2 weeks ago not being able to stand on my left leg due you extreme pain. After few days of treatment I was able to walk without assistance and pain. It is a miracle! I can stand on my own now! I came into office today without pain. I will continue my treatment. Highly recommended!"
    Joyce Carroll
  • "It has been a long time since I have been at Dr. John’s because I moved far away. But, during the years that I was under his treatments I recovered my health (a perfect C-curve for my neck!). My mother-in law, then 90 years old, recovered so much movement! God bless, Dr. John and his staff! He is always in my prayers!"
    Sheila Graziani
  • "What a blessing they are! I started 7 months ago, all hunched over, with shallow breathing, and low back and groin pain. The difference is amazing. I am standing up straighter, am able to deep, belly breathe, and my aches are almost all gone. Also I am more relaxed. Thank you Dr. John and Dr. Joe!"
    Irene Walther
  • "My husband and I have been going to Bellomo Family Chiropractic for several months now and the results of doing so are absolutely astounding! I came to my first appointment in a lot of pain and using a cane. Now, not only do I no longer require a cane, but I no longer live in pain which was in my back and knees. With the combination of attending their very informative classes, my weekly adjustments, doing a 21-day purification they recommended, and being a Christian based business, my whole physical quality of life has completely turned around. I am also 35 pounds lighter! I have not felt this good in over 10 years! Thank you Dr. John, Dr. Joe, and your awesome staff for your tremendous impact on my physical health!"
