THE QUANTUM PAUSE

In this season of Black Friday, sales and deals, there is an urgency in the air like no other time of year as we hustle and bustle our way through the marketplace. Our senses become overloaded with the smells and sounds and visionary displays of the season, and we begin to feel that the only way to hold true to the non-material gifts of the holidays is to cling to them with a paradoxically tight grip.

But there is a better way to move through these times without squeezing the life out of what feeds us and nourishes us more than the sounds of jingling bells or the wonderful smell of turkey and pies. I call it the Quantum Pause. It requires less energy than the quantum leap, but more discipline; it can be a difficult endeavor when the world is swirling around us. It involves slackening our pace and slowing down so that we may create the inner space and time to reassess our priorities. During this hurried time of year, we must recast our schedules and reinvent our perceptions of what we actually consider necessary to meet our real human needs.

As the season stretches out more and more with each passing year, we now find the celebrations lasting well into January. This can take a toll on our bodies. We can all enjoy our celebrations, but our need to find balance is even more heightened amidst the chaos that ensues with these kinds of drawn-out festivities. Give yourself the Quantum Pause, the best gift of all. Begin a practice now, starting with just five minutes a day of deep awareness, reflection, and breathing.

As the energy around us continues to rise like a whirling dervish, let us find strength in the stillness and simplicity of our collective Quantum Pause.

In Light,

CHIROPRACTIC CARE AT BALANCE

Dr. Bart Brundage, the new balance Chiropractor, has nearly a decade of experience in treating conditions including pain in the lower back and neck, arm and leg pain, and headaches. But to Bart, chiropractic is not only beneficial for the treatment of many common complaints – it can also help improve nervous system function, and help patients achieve optimal health and wellness.

One thing that sets Bart apart from other practitioners is in the time he spends with each patient. Using diversified adjusting techniques and muscle work, his goal is to restore movement in the spine, and remove any subluxations that may keep a patient’s nervous system from operating optimally. His use of computerized spinal scanning technology also helps him focus his treatments, and allows patients to see improvement more quickly.

Dr. Bart Brundage lives in Farmington with his wife Tara and their two-year-old son, Sawyer. He is looking forward to sharing the benefits of chiropractic care with his new balance clients
