Two of my favourite musical artists are The Waifs and John Butler. Listening to the most recent Waifs live album, “From the Union of Soul” last week, I was struck by a collaboration between the two: ‘From Little Things Big Things Grow’.
Originally written by Paul Kelly and Kev Carmody, this song tells the story of Vincent Lingiari and the Gurindji Aborigines in Australia. Lingiari led the Gurindji in an 8-year long strike (the wave-hill walk off), eventually leading to the Aboriginal Land Rights Act in 1976 which enabled the Aborigines to reclaim the title to their traditional homeland.
An inspiring story, the tale and song also reminded me of a few important health lessons.
The health we have and the health we desire is definitely a big thing. Yet it results from the many small things we say, think and do on a daily basis. One small change you make today can have massive implications for the future.
The health you have ultimately results from your daily habits. Apparently minor changes to diet, posture, activity, thought processes or spinal alignment can result in major changes in your health expression, both for the better and the worse.
A cancer cell is a small thing. In fact cancer cells form in your body every day. Perfect human function relies on the cancer cells being destroyed. Cancer cells are a small thing, but if they go undetected and destroyed, they can become a big thing –a cancerous tumour.
A vertebral subluxation is a small thing. The effect it can have on the body, particularly over time, is a big thing.
A Chiropractic adjustment is a small thing, but the freedom, life and change it can create for your body is a big thing.
The developer of Chiropractic B.J. Palmer wrote about this idea in 1944, calling it the biggest idea he knew...
When it comes to eating right and exercising, there is no "I'll start tomorrow." Tomorrow is disease.
