This season fits in the middle of the spectrum of the Seasons of Wellbeing. This is the season in which the person really starts to develop a sense of self. In this state a sense of resourcefulness is cultivated. A person can create a baseline for real meaningful change in their lives. Personal responsibility and a sense of empowerment are major aspects of this season. Negative aspects of ones life and health are dissolved and room is created to bring in new more positive aspects. Resolution with past conflicts are obtained. All these things ready us for a new more powerful perspective in the next season.
Some questions that you may have in this season are:
"What can I do to never disempower myself again?"
"What else is going on?"
"What is really happening here?"
"How can I prepare myself?"
"How can I conduct an inventory and get rid of that which no longer serves me?"
"How can I resolve this?"

Season of Discover
Discover appears on one end of the Seasons of Wellbeing spectrum. It is a state in which the person feels dis-empowered and resource-less. In this state the individual will reach out to an authoritative person, like a doctor because of their higher education and title, and yield to whatever recommendation they give because of lack of sense of self-empowerment. This is an important part of the healing in this season. When issues get cleared up by the "authority" the person has more energy to start looking inwardly at their own power. This is the season that the individual needs to focus on their problems and why that problem is there and then work it out with an authority figure. This will then allow the person to move into later seasons of wellbeing.
Some Questions that someone in this season would ask themselves are:
"Why me? Why not me?"
"What is wrong with me?"
"Who can fix/get rid of this?"
"Why am I stuck?"
"Why can’t I solve this now?"

Seasons of Wellbeing
 |
| Four Seasons |
1) Season of Discover
2) Season of Transform
3) Season of Awaken
4) Season of Integrate
We cycle through each of these seasons as we move through life. By knowing which of these seasons we are in at a given time, we are more able to understand our state of mind and know how to best help us make the changes to grow and further evolve on our path to wholeness and self-awareness. We can tailor the care we receive based on our perception in the given season we are experiencing.
Use the links above to navigate to an explanation of each of the individual seasons.

Constants and Variables
In mathematical equations, there are some values that never change (constants) and some values that can change given the particular circumstances (variables). These things combined will give us a unique outcome. Since the constants do not ever change, the only thing that will allow us to modify the unique outcome to our ability to changing the variables.
We can see this mirrored in our daily experiences. There are aspects in our lives that are always constant, we have to breathe, we have to eat, we have to suffer, etc. Although these things are always going to be there, we are not locked into a specific outcome. With these examples there are variables that are in our control. We can choose to go out into the woods to breathe fresh air, we can eat things that are better for us and eat less than we think we may want. We can choose to be a victim of our suffering or show greater awareness of our situation and learn to grow from it.
We have many choices everyday as we go through this journey we call life. There are definitely things that are beyond our control and we need to accept those things, but there are always variables that we can choose between that will help us live a fuller more enjoyable life.

Chiropractic is
The nervous system is responsible for all communication within the body,
Many things can cause interference to the communication of the nervous system,
Chiropractors work to correct a specific cause of the interference for the purpose of restoring the communication pathways of the nervous system.
I just wanted to make that clear.

Reorganizational Healing
When we think of healthcare most of us think disease removal and restoration to where we were before the symptoms came on. This has been the traditional healthcare model for a long time. Restorative healing is great if you want to get back to where you were before, but what if you didn't like who you were before. Since most of the common diseases that plague our society are in large part caused by our lifestyle choices examples of these are: obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and even cancer can be attributed to lifestyle choices. If we go to our healthcare provider and they are able to treat us by some method and restore us to where we were before the disease, but we still live the same lifestyle, what is to stop us from contracting the same disease again? This is the cycle that many people experience.
So what is reorganizational healing? I had the wonderful opportunity this afternoon to listen to two great innovators in the field of reorganizational healing, Dr Christopher Kent and Dr Donny Epstein on a conference call. It was great to glean from their knowledge and research experience. One thing that particularly stood out to me was something Dr Epstein talked about. He pointed out that the Merriam-Webster definition of health is: the condition of being well or free from disease. He was sure to point out the phrasing of "free from disease" and not "free of disease." Free of disease makes us think that we are without disease and have no symptoms. That is what most of us think health is, but looking at the definition of the word it means free from disease, which means, the disease is still present but we are not controlled by it. How empowering is that idea! We in reorganizational healing look at the symptom or disease not as something to get rid of, but more of something to understand. Why do we feel pain? What is our body telling us? What do we need to change about our lives to better manage the pain or stop causing it? etc. The outcomes that we look for in Network Chiropractic care are observing how the recipient of care is becoming more aware of the symptoms and developing strategies to cope and improve them. We monitor posture, nerve function improvement, and overall quality of life measures to strive for global improvement in the practice member. By using light contacts in specific areas (which change based on how the practice member is showing tension that day) on the spine, we can help the nervous system restore function. All this then allows the person to empower them to a new level of function and awareness to have a more fulfilling and enjoyable life, rather than just restoring them to who they were before.
Disease is an inevitable fact of life. How we deal with it is our choice. Will we go for the quick temporary fix, or seek out true Health and establishing strategies to understand, cope, and overcome the disease to reach a higher plain of existence? With better ability to adapt to our environment and a greater understanding of our bodies we can be free from disease.
