The 33 Principles Series

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 #7

The Amount of Intelligence in Matter

The amount of Intelligence for any given amount of matter is 100%, and is always proportional to its requirements.

In Other Words…

Both living (organic) and non-living (inorganic) matter possess 100% the Intelligence required to maintain integrity, and at every point in time. While this 100% is always present, a limitation of matter can prevent the Intelligence’s full expression.

For Instance…

Ever hear musical glasses?!A set of drinking glasses played as an instrument by running one’s finger around the rims. Each glass is filled with the amount of water required to create a certain pitch; in other words, each glass has 100% its Intelligence to create a specific musical note.

As Applied To You…

The amount of Intelligence provided to your body is perfect! Each and every part of you possesses 100% the Intelligence it needs, within its own being, to function optimally. Your Intelligence is expressed at 100% until it meets a stress,

or a limitation of matter.
