Above, Down, Inside, Out . . . Part 5: The Faith Factor
HEALING HANDS
“Verily I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.”(Matt 17:20)
* * *
THE ELDERLY GRANDFATHER appeared somewhat subdued as he presented at my office for his weekly attunement session. We had been sharing attunement for several weeks and Earl loved the deep peace and serenity he experienced as I held his head and upper cervical region between my hands. Then I would move my hands so as to encompass his entire physical anatomy and physiology through the parietal lobes of the brain, entering his body temple through the energy portal of the Central Sulcus, a very powerful contact. It’s the soft spot atop an infant’s cranium which eventually calcifies.
Shortly after completing our session, Earl asked if I would be willing to share attunement with his great-grandson. He went on to explain that the little nineteen-month-old boy was in the hospital in New Orleans with kidney failure awaiting transplant surgery. His mother was being prepped to give him one of her kidneys. My initial response was that the hospital would not allow me, a chiropractor, into his room to offer my service to the child. Earl emphatically responded, “NO! I MEAN FROM HERE!”
Now, the hospital was eighty miles away. Seeing his absolute faith, confidence and belief, I had no inclination to deny Earl his request. I simply offered him my agreement and instructed him to lie down on his right side on the adjusting table.
Standing behind the elderly gentleman, I proceeded to extend my hands over his kidney area, after acknowledging my connection with Source, in search of a pattern. Much to my surprise, I felt a somewhat large sphere of erratic energy between my hands. Then, within less than a minute, the ball of energy began to dissipate, similar to a balloon loosing its air. It was gone within a few moments. So I told Earl I felt we had done all we could do. He got up from the table, thanked me and I returned my thanks to him for seeking my agreement in his deep compassionate desire to help his great-grandson. I had never met such absolute faith in a patient.
The next morning, choked up with tears, Earl called to tell me he had received word from the hospital at two in the morning that the child had urinated normally in his bed and had been taken off dialysis. The transplant surgery was shortly canceled and the lad was discharged from the hospital the next couple of days. How utterly overjoyed we both were. I didn’t have to go to the hospital to share attunement with him. Earl was holding him in his heart. He had brought his little great-grandson with him vibrationally. His love for the child made them one and provided a carrier wave for Spirit and for our intention, and Love never fails us.
This was my first “long-distance attunement” and a very rich blessing to Earl, to his great-grandson and his parents, as well as to myself. So, many hearts were lifted up in prayers of gratitude for what the doctors themselves said was “nothing short of a miracle!” All it took was two in agreement in the current of love, just like the centurion in the Gospel. Through our agreement, a “mountain” of interference to the flow of the River of Life in the little boy’s body was removed. To this day, I give profound thanks to the Father within for finding me a worthy instrument for His “works” of healing and increasing life abundantly in those who were led to my Chiropractic service. I saw the little boy a few days later and he was just a bundle of joy. I am blessed beyond words.
ATTUNEMENT IS MAGNETIC HEALING . . . AND MORE
I promised to share the above story in this series, and I do so fully aware of its occurring outside the box of the science and art of Chiropractic . . . not, however, outside the scope of Chiropractic philosophy. Healing through Attunement is “magnetic healing,” what D.D. Palmer was offering before Chiropractic was born through his healing hands . . . and it’s more than that.
TECHNIQUE AND METHODOLOGY DON’T MATTER
There are colleagues who will object to what I just wrote. Let us remember, however, that Love’s healing current is no respecter of person or technique. Jesus, Love incarnate, used mud to heal a blind man’s eyesight. He didn’t need the mud, but He likely felt the blind man did. The Healing Power of Love moves through any technique and is no respecter of technique or methodology.
Attunement doesn’t “belong” to a group or organization, although it is housed and taught by Emissaries of Divine Light (EDL). It’s also held sacred and taught by Chris Jorgensen and friends of the International Association of Attunement Practitioners (IAAP). Both organizations do offer a certificate to those who complete the training. Anyone and everyone can, with proper training, offer Attunement to another. Chiropractic, on the other hand, does “belong” to a licensed profession, as does surgery and the administration of prescription drugs.
LAWS DO IMPOSE LIMITATIONS
On a side note, our dad used to adjust our necks when we had an illness. He learned the technique from his barber who had had some training, which was not uncommon in those days, several years after medical students got their training following a doctor around on his house calls. We always felt better afterwards. The barber, of course, was told by the powers that were to stop adjusting his customers. I will add that adjusting a segment of the spine has its risks, especially where an x-ray of the spine isn’t used to see what the condition the bones are in. Proper examination is important so as not to cause any harm.
It may have been unwise of me, but I never bought malpractice insurance, except when I worked out of another doctor’s clinic and had to have it. I made sure that I didn’t malpractice. I was sued only once by a man whose charge against me was that I injured his child. I had to hire an attorney to determine that the man had beat up his own daughter and tried to escape the law . . . and make some money . . . by blaming me. Upon learning I had no malpractice insurance, he withdrew his charge. A famous lawyer once wrote that he could count his real malpractice cases on one hand. All the rest were poor doctor-patient rapport. But enough with my fuss over injustices. What else can one expect in a world out of balance and oriented in filthy lucre?! We reap according to the nature of our sowing.
FCB PSI
Dr. Jim Parker, whom I’ve referenced earlier, used to say at his practice-building seminars, we must have Faith, Confidence and Belief in our Product, Service and Idea. BJ Palmer taught, “Get the Big Idea, all else will follow.” The fact that a patient is present in my office indicates faith, confidence and belief are fully present. They were certainly present with Earl, providing an open avenue for the healing current to move through to his great-grandson eighty miles away . . . but only geographically. Vibrationally, there was no distance between Earl and his great-grandson. His love made them one. All I did was offer him a point of agreement and mediation with Source. All else followed. “The Father within, He doeth the works.” I think we know very little about the power of two in agreement on earth as touching the critical events in life that come our way. We are not isolated from one another . . . nor from Source. “No man is an island,” as a poet once penned.*
I’ve enjoyed a rich and successful career in the field of healthcare. Chiropractic was more to me than a technique for fixing backaches, neckaches and headaches. It was an instrument in my healing hands for releasing “. . . the imprisoned impulse, the tiny rivulet of force, that emanates from the mind and flows over the nerves to the cells, and stirs them into life . . . the magic power that transforms common food into living, loving, thinking clay; that robes the earth with beauty, and hues and scents the flowers with glory.” For fifty years I was privileged to work with “the subtle substance of the soul” flowing in and through the many souls who came to the light of my shining. As for results, I wasn’t concerned with them. I simply let love radiate as I delivered the “Big Idea” and let all else follow in Life’s perfect way and timing. My protection came from the One Whose life it is and Whom I served. It was all good.
I welcome any thoughts you wish to share. Until my next post, which will complete this series,
Be love. Be loved.

* CREDITS: “No man is an island” is a phrase that comes from a poem by the English poet John Donne, titled “Meditation XVII”. The poem was published in 1624 as part of Donne’s collection of essays and meditations, “Devotions upon Emergent Occasions”.


This saying was on a poster picture hanging on the wall of my doctor’s orthopedic clinic today. There was no credit given, however its author might well have been the doctor himself, a very personable and encouraging individual with an optimistic outlook on life—on top of being a great surgeon. The saying itself is very applicable to our time of adversity where we fear for our lives in the face of a very aggressive virus sweeping the planet and harvesting souls in such an unprecedented and untimely manner—angels ascending on “Jacob’s ladder” without a pause. Hopefully, the vaccination will slow it down . . . and, if it follows the usual path viruses take, COVID-19 will run its two-year course before mutating to a less viral version, with or without a vaccine. (See my
crash through the air during a heart-to-heart conference with the patient: “And how much will all this cost me. Doctor?” Of course it is interestingly worded in many different and revealing ways, like: “What will the damages be?” and “How much will this set me back?” or “And what are we talking about … ?” (“In terms of cost” is implied here but for some strange reason fearfully avoided.)
