Somehow we intuitively know where we need to go to find our answers!

I have been having lower back pain for a while now.

Coincidentally (or not) the pain started right around the time we were making the decision to pack up and leave Brazil for a life on the road.

Shortly after my arrival in Los Angeles I went to see a chiropractor I had seen on and off many years ago when we lived there.

I wanted relief.

I wanted the familiar.

I wanted a quick fix to make it all go away.

I wanted to feel my body, mind, and spirit in alignment.

I wanted it to go back to being just another day!

Before I got my swift twists and turns, I was reminded that a few years back I was offered a free adjustment anytime I was back in town and that my response at the time was “I accept that”.

As I lay face down on the table I was asked if I meditate and how often.

I was asked, “are you happy?”

It took a while for it all to sink in…but it did.

I got the swift twists and turns…but this much more I got:

I got that despite purging the familiar to embrace the unknown I was forgetting to “accept” that unknown.

I got that despite my adventurous disposition, and the twists and turns of its unfolding, I had forgotten to sit in the stillness of my own being.

I was reminded of a quote by Renee Peterson - Often we have to break down to break through!
