The 33 Principles Series

By January 17, 2023January 18th, 2023Posture Improvement

Every month we are featuring one of the 33 Principles of Chiropractic that were published by Ralph W. Stephenson D.C. in 1927 in a book called “The Chiropractic Textbook”. Even today these principles are central to chiropractic. Whilst some of the language is a bit old the principles remain solid. Consider the principle of this month and discuss it with us when you visit the practice.

Here’s to a greater understanding of life and health.

Chiropractic Principle #2

The Chiropractic Meaning Of Life.

The expression of this Intelligence through matter is the chiropractic meaning of life

In Other Words…

All matter, or “things”, are comprised of energy: atoms, vibrating at specific frequencies. “Life” is not the mere existence of matter; it is Intelligence expressed as the laws of science through matter, manifesting as a tangible object

For Instance…

An oak tree. Life is not the simple existence of the tree. How did the tree become a tree in the first place?! Via the “how to become a tree” Intelligence, scientifically expressed through the acorn. That, is Life!

As Applied To You…

What distinguishes your living body, from a corpse?! Your body has “life”: Intelligence expressed through your nervous system, controlling and coordinating the function of every cell, tissue and organ. You, become YOU! A functioning, feeling organism.
