Self-discovery and Emotional Healing Leads to the True You
As the season turns and flowers bloom, newness begins to surround us. During this time I am reminded of the importance of having newness within. If we have not spent time unraveling our childhood experiences and wounds, how can we ever say it's a fresh new day? For example, if a child has lost a parent, a feeling of abandonment may often carry into adulthood. This may express itself as a deep feeling of longing for someone or something to fill that void. This "past" wound is likely to lead to "present" relationship problems or issues such as overeating or overspending. When we ignore our childhood wounds indefinitely, our bodies can even begin to express our emotional pains physically.We all carry the risk of getting stuck in patterns of automatic reactions from our past experiences and from this place we are unable to fully enjoy the beauty that exists in the moment. Thankfully every one of us has the opportunity to peel away the layers in order to become present to the newness within. And while it may be challenging, this process of self-discovery and emotional healing leads to the true you...the best you!
Until our next adjustment...
Yours in health,

Don't Let Your New Year's Resolutions Fade Away
Greetings!At this point many of us are starting to feel the hopeful aspirations of our New Year's resolutions fade away. Beyond that many of us may be once again putting ourselves down for our glaring imperfections. Striving for perfection seems to be one of the most accepted illusions of our time.
Trying to be the perfect parent, coworker, spouse or to have the perfect body, status or income is an obsession each of us suffer from on one level or another. But the truth is that this perfection we all unconsciously seek will never arrive nor was it meant to. Imperfection is part of our design. Light cannot be without darkness, peaks do not exist without valleys, yin must be balanced by yang.
But knowing this is only the first step. Accepting it and therefore accepting ourselves in all of our imperfection is the ultimate freeing destination. A tree grows, its leaves fall, its fruit ripens than rots. But the tree does not worry when its leaves are brown and wrinkly nor when its fruit is turning to soil. We are not trees, but just as nature reflects we too are meant to experience seasons as well as peaks and valleys.
So with your resolutions, goals and growth this year, just do your best everyday and allow that to be perfect. Consider your body's aches and pains and imperfections the same way. Your path to wellness will have its good days and its bad as long as your on the path that is enough. Until our next adjustment...
Yours in health,

Happy St. Valentine's Day
Greetings!
From my heart to yours!
It is said that St. Valentine chose to suffer death rather than renounce his religious principles. Stories of suffering are common throughout history and one could say that St Valentine was a wise man, brave and heroic for sacrificing everything in the name of his belief. Perhaps stories such as this have left the impression on us that suffering is brave and heroic, which may explain why so many of us choose to live our lives in pain or discomfort.
The truth is that we are meant to live to our fullest potential, which should not include pain and suffering.
I believe that we were each born to fulfill a specific purpose and suffering with back pain can be one of the biggest distractions from that purpose as it affects our entire well-being. There is nothing romantic or heroic about continuing to suffer from any type of pain (be it physical, emotional or spiritual) when there is someone compassionately willing and able to help.
It is my heartfelt intent to facilitate your body in eliminating pain. To connect with you in such a way that you understand your value and continue to take care of your spine and nervous system. Don't be a martyr. Don't suffer needlessly. Take responsibility for your health and by doing so, your first step on the path to wellness. Until our next adjustment...

Making the most of your Health Insurance
This post is just to remind you that some of your insurance benefits may run out at the end of this month. Many insurance policies give you a certain amount of care each year. If you do not take advantage of this benefit during the year, you will lose the benefit.
Other policies pay a greater portion of your treatments if you receive the care before the end of the year. For example, if you have already paid your deductible amount for the year, you will not need to pay this deductible amount again this year. If you wait and see us next year, you will need to pay the deductible amount again before your insurance company will resume paying.
Also, if you have pre-paid into your Health Savings account through your employer, you can come in to redeem it, or put a payment on your account with us to be used at a later time.
We are happy to help you figure out what benefits you are entitled to with your insurance or you can call your insurance company or HR director for help.
If you have any questions, feel free to call us at (818) 549-1300.
Thank you,
InnerMovement Chiropractic

Free Spinal Screening for a can of soup
Help us feed the Hungry this Holiday Season and we will take care of your spine!
During the months of November and December, Chiropractors across the nation will be holding "Pack the Pantry For the Hungry" days in an effort to raise food donations for the hungry while providing free health services and evaluations for their community. From now until the New Year 2010, InnerMovement Wellness Center will host "Pack the Pantry For the Hungry". Patients are invited to bring a food item on Tuesday, Thursday or Friday between 8:30am and 6pm and take advantage of free health screenings from any of our wellness practitioners. "
Canned food donations will be collected at the door through the holidays, and all donations are welcome whether you want to receive free health services or not," said Dr. Heidi. "It's just one small way that chiropractors can have a "hands-on" impact on health and hunger in our community," she said. "Please feel free to invite friends and family to participate as well. We all know at least one person who could benefit from Chiropractic care. This is a great way for them to help others while healing themselves!"
Proceeds from "Pack the Pantry For the Hungry" will benefit Salvation Army, Glendale.

Superfoods for the Holidays
Nutrition 101:
Superfoods for the Holidays
How to Choose Foods
Don't let your health fall by the winter wayside, but make proper nutrition a year round commitment. The 100 Year Lifestyle teaches how to incorporate healthy foods into a balanced diet throughout the year. Here's how to help nourish your body and keep it going strong for 100 healthy holiday seasons.
Back to Basics
Chiropractors and nutritionists now agree that while carbohydrates are still essential, at least half of ingested grains should be whole. You need 2.5 cups of colorful (green is always a safe bet) vegetables and 1.5 cups of fruit each day for a balanced diet. Also all oils are not created equal. Avoid added fat and sugar, but oils found in fish and nuts should be incorporated into your daily meals.
Superfoods to the Rescue
Make foods jam-packed with health benefits a regular part of your diet, which is an easy way to live a quality 100 Year Lifestyle. Try berries, wild salmon, broccoli, tomatoes, soy, oats, strawberries, cantaloupe, garlic, beans, oranges, pumpkin,spinach, bananas, turkey, bean, walnuts, yogurt, and green tea.
Embrace your winter blues-berries, that is! Full of antioxidants like Vitamins C and E, they protect against cancer and aging, among other maladies. They've even earned the nickname "brainberries" because of their memory enhancing properties.
Milled flaxseed is packed with omega-3 fatty acids and is even believed to help prevent cancer. Mix a few tablespoons in with your daily cereal, sprinkle it on yogurt or salad, or grind it up and add your "flaxseed flour" to almost any baking recipe for a nutty flavor.
Become a Grocery Guru
Learn to become a grocery guru and always check the labels while shopping. Look for breads labeled "whole grain" not "whole wheat" and avoid foods with high fructose corn syrup and artificial ingredients. While pre-made meals, sauces, marinades and meals save time, their additives may compromise your diet in the long run. Use seasonings and spices instead of salt and sugar. The surest shopping path to a healthy 100 Year Lifestyle is to slice, season and cook food yourself, using whole, fresh ingredients. You'll feel, look and taste the difference!
Super Family Time
Shop and cook together with your loved ones this holiday season and year round. Enjoy the time you spend together preparing and sharing a healthy meal. Keep the snack trays filled with a mix of holiday treats and nutritious options for in between meal nibbling at family gatherings. Your body will thank you and so will your friends and family!
