In life, when you are in the right place, at the right time, applying the right amount of force, with the right intent, magic happens. Whether in relationships, business or healing, in order for there to be optimum results, these four factors must be in alignment.
In Network Chiropractic, we apply this principle. If you are on the wrong place on the spine, at the wrong time, with too much or too little force, with the wrong intent, the body will react. However, if you are on the exact right spot on the exact right vertebra, at just the right time, matching the force of the body, in the right direction with the right intent – the body responds…and it does so, beautifully.
What do I mean by “matching the force of the body?” Have you ever shook someone’s hand and it was like a limp fish? Or you shook their hand and you felt like they wanted to squeeze the bones out of your fingertips. This is not matching the force. When two people have a good handshake, they match the force…they have rapport and it feels good.
The Network Protocol is a very specific spinal analysis which determines that exact right place on the spine to contact in a distinct sequence so that we are always doing it at the right time. This “right place” is called the “spinal gateway” and it is an area of free energy in the spine from which the spinal tension is being generated, usually found in the neck or sacrum. A force is then applied by matching the force that the body is pushing back when you touch it. We “shake its hand” with rapport.
How does such a gentle touch knock down 2 Million dominoes with such a gentle touch? By lining them up in a certain sequence, it only takes a gentle touch.
By applying this gentle, quick force to this specific area of the spine, in the right sequence, the brain is made aware of the adverse tension and through movement and breath the body begins to innately work to integrate the free energy in the “spinal gateway” to free up the bound up energy that is being store in the muscles, joints, or nerve tissue.
The light touch actually doesn’t “do anything,” but bring the attention of the cognitive brain to an area it was previously disassociated from, and the body does the rest. Wow! This is the right intent. To make the person more aware of where and when the body holds tension and help them to develop strategies to be more self-regulating of this tension.
