Staying Centered

In life it is necessary to have a spiritual practice that keeps you grounded.  Whether it is religion or meditation or whatever, you have to have something that tunes you into the universe and your surroundings.

The power in a spiritual practice is the fact that it is inside you.  This means that no one can take it away from you.  If you are in a good or bad situation, your internal balance can be maintained.  You can always “keep the faith” and “keep hope alive” through personal connections to your belief system and a higher being.

Throughout time, folks have been able to weather struggle and strife, and come out on the other side victorious through the power of faith.  With faith, you are able to put out your desired request and with patient expectation for your dreams and desires to manifest. 

Dreams don’t always come true exactly when you want or often how you want, but wishes always come true right on time, and exactly how they are supposed to come forth.

Having a spiritual practice is a secret to having the resilience required for success.  It can keep you sane, centered and focused.

I suggest that everyone have something that they can fall back on when times get tough and also maintain when life is going good.

Self Discipline

“Discipline makes things easier, organize your life” - Stic.man, Let's Get Free- album.  

With the everyday hustle that comes with living in the modern world, it can be easy to get lost in the whirlwind.  There are so many things to concentrate on like bills, bills and bills.  You have your personal relationships, family, work and hopefully some play.  Balancing these things can be difficult if you don’t have self discipline.

Self discipline allows you to master yourself by knowing yourself.  You learn your strengths and weakness.  You begin to understand what motivates and what drives you.  Your passion will also be revealed and you will be guided towards your life purpose.

The best way to gain self discipline is to put yourself on a daily regimen.  This is done by first brainstorming make a list of everything that you would honestly like to do on a daily basis.  Chisel that list down to what you can actually do.  Type that final list and have it in a few places where you can see it.  Then, do it!  The hardest thing to do is to actually get started.  Once you get started you gain momentum which drives you to want to finish what you started.

As you continue on your regimen you will see results from your effort.  There will be a sense of accomplishment and achievement.  You will also have increased self confidence as you see what can happen when you make a habit of focusing your mind on a task.

You will also gain an inner calm which stems form having more control over life.

Self discipline is a trait of every champion that ever lived.  Step into their realm and experience being a champion yourself by exercising self discipline.

Clean Up Your Mess..

Often times we want to bring things into our lives that we desire.  We want more money, more loving relationships, more time etc.  But, before we get more, we have to clean up our lives and make room for more.  When you get new furniture, you have to throw out the old sofa.  Whenever you put wax on your car, you have to clean if first.  You have to wash the dishes after you eat and before your next meal.  This is a basic principle of life that we use on a daily basis for the external aspects of ourselves.

When it come to our inner selves we forget this principle of cleaning before you add on.  The common term for this uncleaned, unnecessary aspect is “baggage”.  Folks carry around a lot of “baggage” from past relationships and past experiences.  No one likes to deal with the baggage of others.

In the book Open Your Mind To Prosperity by Catherine Ponder, she outlines some wonderful ways to apply the principle of cleaning your life to make room for what you want to manifest.

To briefly summarize some of the principles, you have to:

1. Make a list of what you want to get rid of
2. Make a list of what you want to bring into your life
3. Make a list of what you are thankful for

This exercise can be applied to any situation and the results of it are near miraculous.  I hope you take a chance to practice this and enjoy living your life on an abundant level.  May all obstacles be moved out of your path.  I wish you life, strength, health and prosperity.

Thank you

I Hate Going to the Doctor!

Do you dread going to the doctor’s office?

You walk in and the place probably looks institutional.  Cold White walls, sick people and that noxious doctor’s office smell.  After waiting for an hour, you finally get to see the nurse (not the doctor) who asks you a few random questions.  When your doctor actually sees you, he talks to you for two minutes, writes down a prescription and hands you a bill for a couple hundred bucks. 

Has this ever happened to you?  It is no wonder why people don’t like to have doctor’s appointments.  You can go in feeling bad, and leave feeling worse. 

One patient went to her M.D. for a case of Athlete’s Foot.  She was given a popular medication for this fungus infection of the foot.  A few weeks later, she woke up in the morning to find that the palms of her hands, soles of her feet, and tongue were black.  The medication had caused inflammation of the liver also known as non-viral Hepatitis. 

All of us know of someone who went to the hospital for something relatively minor and never came home.  My condolences to their families and loved ones.

The above occurrences are exactly the opposite of what you experience at New York Sports Acupuncture.  Most folks come in to our office feeling alright, but leave feeling FANTASTIC!! 

I don’t know how many times patients have hobbled in, hunched over and in pain…. and left the office walking upright.  Sometimes we have to chase patients down because they forgot their walking cane!  I often have to politely ask folks to leave the treatment room because they feel so relaxed after their session.

We are changing the paradigm of healthcare to one that fully services the needs of the patient.  Our goal is to have you gain immediate and long lasting benefits.  Come see for yourself.  Make an appointment today and I guarantee, you will feel awesome.
