Inside The Polished Apple

Thanks to Dr Robert Clarke, Chiropractor at Elan,  for this article on Awaken-the third Sacred Season in the Seasons of Wellbeing.  When we have effectively connected to ourselves through discovering and transforming, the next sacred season is Awaken.  Having let go of our attachment to our stories from the past we naturally flow into the space of all possibilities. In this place of soulfulness, we connect with our authentic selves. The authentic self always looks to grow and expand. In an awakened state we experience our connection with everything around us. We see the gifts in our challenges.  Understanding this we are compelled to share our gifts and receive gifts from others, allowing for a true connection with community. From this place we can effectively see the big picture and begin to create a richer fuller life. As much as the insights from this state often have us pause and absorb the energy of this beautiful space, awaken is an active state. The ins...

Thank you to everyone who brought in socks or donated money! We were able to collect or buy over 200 pairs of new socks this September! We collect them as part of the Toasty Toes Sock Drive with the Alberta College and Association of Chiropractors.  From our ACAC, "Despite our cold Alberta winters and consistent requests by charitable organizations, socks remain one of the least donated items. That’s why the ACAC, in partnership with Wood’s Homes and several chapters of the United Way, run the Toasty Toes Sock Drive every September. For the entire month, chiropractors and their clinics across the province work to collect donations of new socks, which are then distributed by our nonprofit partners to vulnerable Albertans." Thank you for all of your support!

World Spine Day is October 16th with this year's theme to #GetSpineActive! Make sure to watch in office and online for how we are celebrating this exciting day and month.  As part of the celebrations, we will be offering  Complimentary Health Screenings on Saturday, October 19th   for your family members or friends; book them a time now as spaces are limited. Of course, chiropractic is a great way to keep yourself moving and doing the things you love! Not only does movement of the spine help how your spine and body FEEL, but when your spine moves freely, it also sends more information to your brain and helps brain health too. With our monthly office theme of BEHAVIOUR, its an excellent time to reflect on the amount and quality of the movement in our life, our body and in our spine. Are you getting a chance to experience enough exercise in your life? The Heart and Stroke Association recommends getting 150 minutes of exercise a week-that's an average of at least 30 min...
