In the past I have written that the model I work with is based on the ideas and concepts of geometry and tone. And I would like to share some additional insights into this geometric model and how it came to be such an integral and all encompassing basis from which I work.
I had been very happy doing what I was doing, not practicing according to any specific formula, but just in flow with the nervous systems I was adjusting. I was quite content, staying at home at the EQLC office, off the “teaching circuit”. But as fate would have it, there was a greater agenda planned for me. Request after request kept coming, asking me to “teach” what I was doing. So, loving a challenge, I began to “pattern it out” and from that a geometric model surfaced. The full impact and significance of which would not become clear until later.
F. Buckminster Fuller said that the entire universe is built on a framework of triangles. So it is not surprising that the human body is built according to the same principles. Our bodies are perfectly designed, not only internally containing all the organs and fluids needed to sustain life, but also externally. The human body is perfectly proportioned. Every great piece of architecture was based on human proportions. The beautiful cathedrals, buildings and sculptures that you see are simply geometric interpretations of the body. So when the model of adjusting that began to surface from my work was geometric in nature, as amazing as it was, it was not a surprise.
The first patterns I noticed while on my quest were the long tracks of muscle tension, which I call subluxation tracks, which traverse the entire frame of the body. These tracks twist and turn, narrow and broaden, intensify and soften and are associated with misalignments and distortions of the skeletal system. Working with these tracks, I began to notice certain consistent patterns. One pattern was that the distortions were consistent from top to bottom. I found that if there was a rotational distortion at the bottom, the pattern would continue to be rotational through the entire body. Then there were places that seemed to intensify and “anchor in” to the system quite strongly, these places were the focal points that when adjusted allowed the release of the subluxations along the tracks. Then patterns began to emerge associated with the correlation of focal points, always geometrically aligning both the distortions and the releases. The symmetry, continuity and consistency of the patterns was uncanny. I began to be able to touch one part of the spine and predict what was going on in the rest of the system. And more importantly I was finding the way in which to convey and teach this system to others. As I began to draw the patterns the perfect geometry was revealed. The geometric pattern was triangular in nature and started at the tailbone and went all the way up to the front of the skull. If one point on the triangle was distorted, I found that there would be similar distortions on all the correlating points of the triangles throughout the entire system. This “misalignment” of triangles is what creates the sweeping patterns of the subluxation tracks and is associated with a deeper tension on the nervous system. It is the release of this geometric distortion that frees the tension on the nervous system allowing the body’s innate healing ability to flow freely.

Now finding this geometric patterning was cool enough, but it pales in comparison to what was to be revealed next. I was doing some reading about wave integration and spirals and the text referred to a small diagram represent- ing the Tree of Life. I glanced at this diagram and I saw the exact geometric pattern of the spine. I sat dazed for a moment and then began to read about the Tree of Life. The Tree of Life represents the successive emanations of the spirit of the one vibrating upon the face of the waters; whereby the universe is
created. The ten emanations with the 11th, Daat or Knowledge, and the
relationships between them constituted by the 22 connecting paths, constitute the model upon which EVERYTHING, including man as microcosm, is
modelled.”
( Jill Purce “The Mystic Spiral”)
So this geometric model is according to ancient text, the model of every- thing. It is considered to be the path which spirit descended to become man and also the path man will ascend to reconnect with spirit. WOW!. D.D. Palmer, founder of Chiropractic, said “the sole purpose of Chiropractic is to reunite man the physical with man the spiritual”. Now is this some coincidence or have we (and I say WE because it is through your systems that this model was discovered and developed) stumbled into something quite profound. That is, the model to truly release the body from the confines of the past to reconnect completely with the innate wisdom within. And if it is more than just a coincidence, imagine the deep healing that could take place. I’ve always known that chiropractic was more than just about back pain. I’ve experienced and witnessed the great healing that has taken place everyday in the office. This, for me, just confirmed what I already knew to be true and deepened my commitment to be the best, to do the best.
You can decide for yourself what is true. I know what I believe and hold the space for amazing things to happen. Either way, however, we must be amazed at the symmetry of life.

when one contemplates the mysteries of eternity of life,
of the marvelous structure of reality.”
