The great philosopher Ayn Rand presented the following idea that, to me, is the foundation of all health: whenever our life is incongruent on any level, we face some proportionate level of destruction. Life is dynamic – its an evolutionary system that is either growing forward and making progress or it is moving backwards. Nothing stays the same.

In wellness, we have to first work with a master who can help us see where in our life behaviors, structures, and perceptions we are incongruent. Any and all change requires a behavior shift, a perceptual shift and a structural shift. Everything is connected and everything matters. When our life choices are out of harmony with our deeper values , we experience pain, dis-ease and breakdown.

The latest research into sustained change and healing points to the fact that we need to bring all aspects of this triad of change into harmony – structure, perception, and behavior. Further, when we focus on our strengths and have the right coaching, guidance, and practices we can absolutely heal ourselves on every level. There is no doubt about this.

As a doctor of chiropractic and expert acupuncture practitioner here in Charlotte NC, I am driven by a deep burning desire to help you heal on every level. If all I did was take away your headaches, yet we didn’t learn what was beneath them, would I have really helped you? If all we accomplish is short term band aid and sacrifice your deep long term healing and personal growth, we have missed a golden opportunity to potentially “save your life”. There are lots of ways to save lives – my personal approach to this is healing on every level so you can maximize your internal well being, your internal resourcefulness and your ability to contribute to life. You can save your own life by making it a masterpiece. Master congruency in your life and you cannot help but have a masterpiece life – AND experience deep and lasting healing of your headaches, back pain, neck pain, and chronic fatigue.

We practice Re-Organizational Healing – meaning we honor the inherent need we all have to not only heal our symptoms but to learn from them and adapt and evolve as needed. Every pain, every challenge, every obstacle is instructive and adaptive. We live in a quick fix commercialized culture where we are lead to believe that health is the absence of symptoms. This is completely false. Health is the presence of life, awareness, vitality, self-regulation, congruence and is the optimal expression of this Health in physical, emotional, mental, social, and spiritual dimensions of our life.

Why settle for anything less? Its your life. There is nothing more precious than your health and wellness. Nothing.

Too many people die at age 40, and are not buried until they are 85!

What I love is that moving towards health, healing, and optimal human performance can be simple, affordable, and fun. I know, I practice this daily.

Check out our testimonials – that is where the rubber meets the road – http://www.networkwellnesscharlotte.com/testimonials/.

Love,

Dr. Matt

Pearls of Wisdom To Manifest True Health, Joy, and Unlimited Creativity

Aahhhh – Creativity. Joy. Health. If I were sitting with you in person, I’d ask this question: “Do you want more creativity, health and joy in your life?” If you were being honest, 99% of you would say, “Yes.” Even a healthy person who experiences high levels of health, joy and creativity desires much more.

Many people spend thousands of dollars every year seeking greater health, joy and creativity, often without attaining them. Why is this? Why is it that these basic tenets of a happy and fulfilled life are so difficult for most of us to attain, let alone sustain? If you had a choice to live an extraordinary life of freedom, flexibility & unlimited creativity, OR, to live a ‘normal’ life of mundane affairs, feeling tired, overwhelmed or stuck, which life would you choose? If you had tools laid at your feet to help you choose either life, what would you do?

If you are interested in living an extraordinary life, keep reading. If you are interested in living an ‘ordinary’ life, keep watching TV, keep listening to the media, and keep thinking you cannot obtain true creativity, health and joy.

Let’s start with a basic premise. You were born to manifest the destiny of your heart. You were born hard-wired to be joyful, radiant & vitally creative. You may think this is just some fluffy new-age jargon, and I assure you it is not. From quantum physics to the science of positive psychology, we now know that living an exceptional, dynamic life, is indeed possible. When you are whole, integrated and connected, you will express Life in all its beautiful dimensions.

So what happens? Why do most of us lose that child-like love of life, that spark of creativity? Why is it that in a room of 100 people, 1/3 will die of cancer, 1/3 will die of heart disease, and 1/3 will be diabetic? Why in that same room will 1 in 5 women be taking anti-depressants? Why is it that 80% will suffer from chronic pain? Why in that same room will a whole patchwork quilt of dreams be lost in the dark storage-house of the mind……..unmanifested?

I believe and feel certain (and I am not alone) that it is possible to not only have radiant health, but also boundless creativity and joy. It is simply WHO you are.

Here is the rub – STRESS. We all have it. You can’t get away from it. What you can do is significantly elevate your threshold for what stresses you out. You can completely ‘upgrade’ your nervous system, so you have no choice but to express radiant health, creativity & joy, even in the midst of life’s hardships.

We lose a vital connection to our innate wisdom and intelligence for healing, life, and creativity when stress adds up over the years. Your health and vitality become compromised, leading to dis-ease, breakdown, premature aging, hurt relationships & forgotten dreams. A landmark study at the University of London concluded that unmanaged reactions to stress were a more dangerous risk factor for cancer and heart disease than either cigarette smoking or high cholesterol foods!

The great news is that there are powerful tools available today, right here in Charlotte, to transform stress so that you can live a healthier, more joyous & more creative life than you ever thought possible These tools can absolutely change your life NOW. Dreams can be reached, patterns undone, your body healed and a more vitalistic you can unfold.

If you feel stuck in your life, if you feel the wight of stress, chronic pain, or feel like you have lost your creative spark, its time to do something about it. In most cases, these kinds of problems will not improve by themselves.

To learn more about how you can regain your healthy and creative edge, join us for a free workshop SEPTEMBER 29, 2010 7PM-9PM right in Myers Park @ 725 Providence Road suite 216. This seminar is limited to 12 people, and it will fill up so reserve your spot now by calling 704-909-7130.

Charlotte NC Chiropractor – Testimonial From a Practice Member

March 18, 2010

80% of Americans will experience low back pain at some point. I think most so-called “back pain treatment” completely misses the mark. Most “treatments” try to just get rid of your pain without really understanding the underlying causes. In fact, when we do this, we set up ourselves for 1) recurrent pain; 2) being “dependent” [...]
