Welcome to the Spring 2022 issue.
Charting new waters! Pathways issue 73 offers an acceleration of the Pathways Magazine Movement. The intent and purpose of Pathways is to offer information for families to make informed, conscious choices throughout their journey. A wealth of material has been presented since the inception of Pathways that represents a powerful introduction to what many have called “the chiropractic family wellness lifestyle.” As new families seek out this lifestyle, it is important that key, cutting-edge resources are presented and discussed, because they help fill the gap that allows us to cross over into a brighter future. These resources, we believe, can make the vital difference for family well-being.
The chiropractic family wellness lifestyle represents more than a philosophy. It represents a new paradigm of health, a new model of understanding life. In this issue, we have worked to include articles that call this emerging paradigm into existence.
Millions are waking up to the core premises and ideas that have long-defined the chiropractic outlook on life: That there is innate intelligence within all life; that freedom is paramount to an individual’s health and well-being; and that the focus on the nervous system represents a new horizon for understanding what life and health is.
However, the times we are passing through require composure and discernment. There are so many confrontational discussions that are shaping our perceptions amidst the current climate. Some of these discussions help enlighten us. Others appear to be distracting. And yet, for the most part, regardless of differing beliefs or attitudes, many discussions from all sides appear to be ‘clinging to the past.’
To move forward in a way that honors our organic human potential, it’s important to let go of the paradigms we have previously accepted as reality. If we can do this, then a future will manifest, and it will be one that can exist in full alignment with our core values—values that have always existed for the sake of a better tomorrow.
To help families make the transition, chiropractors and other key figures in healthcare can direct our attention to the vitalistic understanding that the individual holds the key to his or her health. When we understand this resounding principle, as well as the science which validates it, we immediately come to enjoy a clearer vision of the better tomorrow. And with this vision we discover something else… a calm, clear sky that exists above the turbulence of the past and present.
Please enjoy this issue and stay connected to the Pathways to Family Wellness community, as we continue to move forward together on this exciting journey.
