Monday Morning Motivation

Law of Conservation of Energy

We are energy. The chair you’re sitting on is energy too. Granted, in a different form, but energy all the same. Based on the First Law of Thermodynamics we know that energy is never created or destroyed, it merely changes form, taking the path of least resistance.

When you adjust a patient, you’re adding energy to the patient’s body. What the patient’s body does with that energy is out of your control. Perhaps their body is still in defense mode; the stressor still being present in their life. Imagining that you can control or regulate how someone else’s body uses energy is as foolish as thinking you can lose weight for someone else.

Energy always moves from high concentration to low concentration; from high vibration to low. This process of dissipation can make your reaction to certain patients a drain. But remember, it’s not them. It’s your reaction that’s draining!
