How thoughts, emotions affect our health

Dr. Theresa L. Smith, D.C.

Our thoughts and emotions are responsible for 95% of our health problems. This means only 5% of our health issues come from things like toxins or physical problems.

Think about the last time you got angry or upset-did you feel it somewhere in your body? Maybe your stomach felt sick, or your neck got tight. Paying attention to how your body reacts during stressful times is important. That's how stress can turn into physical problems in our bodies.

The foundation gateway of the spinal flow technique

When we feel like we're not supported, when life feels overwhelming or when we feel stuck and can't move forward, it can affect a part of our spine called the sacrum. This can lead to problems like sciatica, lower back pain, hip pain, groin issues and knee pain.

This gateway is located in the sacrum and pelvis. The sacrum is a large, triangular bone at the base of your spine, just above your tailbone. It connects your lower back to your pelvis. The sacrum is the largest bone in your spine and provides a strong foundation for your upper body. When this area is open and balanced, your body stays stable. But if it's blocked or twisted, it can affect your whole spine and cause problems.

Everything we think, everything we tell ourselves and all our life experiences affect how our body heals. This gateway shows that we are stuck in the past, unable to move forward or live in the present. This creates blockages that stop life force from flowing through our bodies. When life force stops flowing, dis-ease happens, and this is always uncomfortable.

Why this gateway matters

Injuries in this area often happen from bending and twisting too much over time. These movements can cause tiny tears in the ligaments, which leads to pain and inflammation. When this happens, your muscles tighten up to protect the area, making it harder for your body to heal.

This gateway also stores your body's natural healing energy, which some people call life force or chi. If this gateway is blocked, your body can't use this energy, and you might feel tired or unwell. The Spinal Flow Technique helps unblock this area, allowing your body to heal and regain its energy and vitality.
