Namaskara All,
I have received chiropractic care off and on for years - and at times, it has been a regular part of my health care regimen (weekly or bi-weekly maintenance visits) -- though, historically, I have used chiropractic as most Westerners do: as a palliative therapy for a structural (back pain, arm pain, neck pain) malady of one sort or another.
However, as many of you may know, that is not at all what the essence of chiropractic is about -- at its essence, chiropractic is a form of energy healing, summarized as follows:
Over time, and for various reasons (falls, accidents, bad posture, etc. etc. etc.), the spinal vertebrae become misaligned ("subluxated"), preventing the natural flow of energy through the body's "nerve highway" (spinal column, and the nerve bundles which pass through it) - which in turn [negatively] affects the health of all the body's organs and systems - because those systems are governed and directed by nerve impulses, as directed neurochemically from the region of the brain.
Chiropractic adjustments remove these subluxations, and restore the flow of natural energy, which logically gives the body a much better chance of functioning in optimum health.
For quite a few years, I took all of that on faith.
The logic of it made sense to me -- but the idea of my "energy" flowing more freely was not something I could physically feel - and since most people don't (physically feel the difference in energy flow, after receiving chiropractic treatment) - I presumed it was not something one
could feel.
I was wrong.
(You heard it here, first ...!)

Over the last few months, with a 1:1 directly proportionate ratio to my increased levels of ecstatic conductivity per AYP practices, I have begun to feel the increase / improvement in energy flow to a major degree, upon receiving a chiropractic adjustment (or more than one).
It is extremely powerful and pleasurable - and distinctive, to the point that if an adjustment "isn't quite there", I know, and can communicate this to my chiropractor (and do) -- and if it IS "there", I can feel / communicate / verify, this -- even if my chiropractor isn't sure (that the given adjustment worked).
It's really wild / interesting -- not to mention useful, and a "real-world" confirmation [to me, at least] of a few things, including that AYP practices truly affect our neuro-physiology - and that chiropractic does support yogic evolution, in ways that are apparently much more similar to other energy healing modalities than many people realize.
Has anyone else had similar experiences?
Any other thoughts / comments?
Peace & Namaste,
Kirtanman
