A Happy "ValenSpines Day" Blog 02/09/2010

Leave it to my friend Chris at Holy Cow Yoga studio. Well, she came up to me the other day and wished me a Happy Valen-Spines Day. Corny, yet funny enough to get a blog. At the end of teaching my Tuesday Pre-Valentine Day Yoga class; a basic Heart Chakra (Anahata) opener series, I remembered too late to tell everyone Happy Valenspines Day.

In matters of the Heart, the verbal, and non-verbal communication can connect or pull two people apart. It's learning the language of love, that may not necessarily be your perspective for giving and receiving love, but rather the code of your respective partner that becomes the gateway to effective communication. Once you shift the needs and expectations of the self, to that of the other person, the heart can truly be open. Like yoga, it takes strength and flexibility to let go of your own perception and control of what love is. Chakra-based yoga and Anahata forms of yoga practice can help alter the mind-body restrictions around our heart. Love is as much governed by our learned experiences, whether met or unfulfilled, and transferred to our Ego's memory bank of how to give or receive Love. It is from these memories and early personality traits, that the Ego can draw from to communicate our need for Love. It is also from these learned experiences that a shell around the heart can form. With some simple adjustments in our perspective, to that of our partner's, we begin to see the relationship from the other side of the looking glass, and that shell can be dismantled. For more about identifying your respective partner's Love Languages, check out "The 5 Love Languages" at www.Amazon.com. It's simple and clear like I hope "The 3 Rules About Back Pain" will be to the reader of www.123back.info interested in finally understanding what chiropractic or spinal hygiene are.

I will also offer this yogic advice for ValenSpine's Day: When you look in the mirror, are you really seeing yourself? Are you not just seeing a reflection of a body that you perceive as your representation? How often does this person change? Maybe you're just having a bad hair day....again. Can you actually see yourself better with your eyes closed? The same person shows up whether you're 8 or 80. It's a different perspective of the self. One that's based on a feeling-tone and not a physical appearance. It's always there riding with you, and we usually forget to honor That Person. It's that person the sages, gurus, masters, and spiritual preachers wanted you to put your hands together and take a few moments to re-find. Ok, enough said. So next time you're with that special somebody, tell them something they want to hear, in a way that they'll understand in their Love language. Explain how you like to give and receive Love and admit you may not have been doing it right in the eyes of the other person. Tell that person that you Love that person you can sense is there when you just hold their hand, or when your eyes are closed. I'm not responsible for anything that happens after that, but I'll be standing by at Howell & Schultz Wellness Center to align any spines that end up like pretzels. Happy Valenspines Day!

Yours in Health,
