My reason for being a chiropractor is to bring more balance and motion to my patients spines and lives. This month I am asking you to examine the phrase “Going Green.”   It can be more than just recycling and buying better light bulbs.  Of course let’s do what we can to help our mother earth, but I think an important first step is appreciating and admiring her. Instead of just going green, let’s “Go in Green.”  Here in Orange County, we have spots of green amidst our urban jungle, but I think making an effort to submerge oneself in nature can be truly amazing. 

Have you experienced a moment during a hike when time slows? You look out over a valley or up into a canopy of trees, take a deep breath, and feel complete peace.  I hope your answer is yes. I believe the more you get into nature, the more connected you feel with yourself, your loved ones, and your planet. Make it your goal this spring to bask in our planet’s beauty, even if it is just to go to the park and sit under a tree.  For local hikes, visit www.localhikes.com. You will feel rejuvenated physically, mentally, spiritually and hopefully feel inspired to take a reusable water bottle.
