Soul Care: Connecting to Your Whole Self
Soul Care Chiropractic. You may have been with us before the name change, have seen the name and become intrigued or never really noticed it. So, what does Soul Care really mean?
'Soul' is a concept that holds various meanings for different individuals, and though challenging to define precisely, most descriptions evoke a similar sentiment:
The immaterial essence, animating principle, or driving force of an individual's life.
The spiritual principle embodied in human beings, all rational and spiritual beings, or the universe.
A person's total self.
An active or essential part, a moving spirit, or a leader.
The moral and emotional nature of human beings, the quality that stirs emotion and sentiment, a spiritual or moral force.
A person, and the embodiment of integrity.
A strong positive feeling, especially conveyed by African American performers, characterized by intense sensitivity and emotional fervour.
Each of these definitions encompasses a vital part of YOU, representing the essence of your life and beyond the everyday stressors. This is the part of you that doesn't judge "failures" and trusts that everything is unfolding at the perfect time – a deep knowing, a place of space and clarity.
Your soul is an intrinsic part of you & your whole self in one.
When was the last time you connected with this profound aspect of yourself? Perhaps some of these sentences have served as a reminder. It could be walking amongst nature, witnessing a loved one's smile or supporting them through difficult times.
Spiritual or not, it's hard to deny the forces that keep us alive and functioning. Our bodies possess innate wisdom. Unconsciously we respond to the environment and innately know how to heal. These principles form the foundation of chiropractic care and natural medicine – unlocking the body's power to work for you.
So what is Soul Care? Anything that activates this part of you.
Whether it's through yoga, running, swimming in the ocean, meditation, breathwork, or an ice bath, Soul Care takes various forms but shares the intention of connecting you to your essence. It reminds you of your innate ability to be alive.
It can be experienced in simple moments, such as enjoying a decadent meal with friends, savouring a good cup of coffee, taking a nap in the car, feeling hydrated, shedding tears, or receiving a warm hug. Soul Care is the pathway to rediscovering your true self.
At Soul Care Chiropractic, we understand that you are not merely a collection of symptoms; those are just indications of life being out of balance. Our approach, whether through massage, emotional balance, nutritional advice or a chiropractic adjustment, is to remind you of who you innately are and what you are capable of achieving.
Today, let this serve as a gentle reminder of your essence, beneath the layers and the masks. Find what soul care means to you, as a means to enrich your life and connect with your whole self.
