Before & After💕

DID YOU KNOW: there is a way to turn off the blue light your phone emits?!

Blue light produced by your phone and other electronic devices, can disrupt the body’s natural circadian rhythms which is responsible for regulating our sleep wake cycles. Exposure to blue light in the evening or at night, tricks the body into thinking it’s still daytime, inhibiting the release of melatonin, a hormone that promotes sleep.

Prolonged exposure to blue light at night can lead to poor sleep quality and/or chronic sleep deprivation. Insufficient or disrupted sleep has been linked to a number of health conditions including, a risk of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and mental health issues.

Exposure to blue light at night disrupts the body’s hormone balance and promotes the release of the daytime hormone cortisol. This can impact metabolism, appetite regulation, immune function and overall well-being.

To protect our health it is crucial to minimize exposure to blue light. This can be achieved by reducing the use of our devices in the evenings, using blue light filters or night mode, or simply by shutting it off on our phones!

To remove blue light on iPhones/iPhone devices:
1. Go into your settings
2. Turn on Night Shift (can customize times or turn it off permanently).
3. Adjust the color temperature accordingly

For computers and other devices: turn on ‘Night Light’ mode.

When Dr. Gage clears a little nervous system (via an adjustment) it allows a child to fully process their environment, learn without any interference and thrive!

This handsome little dude loves being adjusted and takes it very seriously. Once he’s home, he lays on his tummy so mommy and daddy can pretend to adjust him just like Dr. Gage does🥰

Did you know that the accumulation of things in the home and the disorder are related to different kinds of fears?

Fear of change, fear of being forgotten or forgetting, and fear of lack symbolize confusion. Lack of focus, chaos and instability can mean uncertainty about your goals, your identity or what you want from life. In addition, the place in the house where the disorder or accumulation is located, reflects which area is problematic in your life. For example, it is said that your closet or dressing room, reflects how you feel emotionally. Once you organize it your internal conflicts will calm down. That faded bedspread means that your love life has lost shine as well.

Have you kept broken or damaged objects for a long time thinking about repairing them someday? They symbolize unfulfilled promises and broken dreams.

If you have a constant mess in your room it means that you are a person who leaves things unfinished, and that you have difficulty having a partner or a stable job.

Children's rooms are usually messy because they have not yet gone through the process of knowing what they want in life. However, there are studies that show children who keep their rooms organized and tidy, tend to function better in school and have an easier time navigating through their daily life.

❍ Different kinds of accumulation

• New accumulation: This accumulation indicates that you are trying to do too many things at once and that you are not focusing on what you should do and that you have lost the direction.

• Old accumulation: I am referring to objects that you have not used for a long time and that are stacked in the attic, garage, closets... Old papers and documents on your computer that you no longer use, magazines from more than 6 months or clothes that you have not worn in more than a year. This is a reflection that you are living in the past and you are letting your old ideas and emotions take over your present. At the same time, this prevents new opportunities and people from entering your life.

❍ 10 things you can do today to control the disorder:

• Get rid of the biggest thing first: the exercise bike that you no longer use or the giant teddy bear that you have kept since high school.

• Return the things people have lent you, books, clothes, tools.

• Pick up what is on the floor put it away or place it in a basket or bag until you can take the time to put it in its proper place.

• Pick up magazines, catalogs and newspapers. Recycle them and clear your space.

• Purge your closet. Start small, remove 10 garments that you have not used in the last year and donate them. Clothing that is questionable, turn the hangers backwards. If you don’t use it for another 6-12 months, get rid of it.

• Clean the windows, it's a figurative and literal way to let light into your life.

• Empty the garbage baskets, bathrooms, kitchen, office; the rubbish represents things that we no longer need or want in our lives.

• Empty drawers of single socks that have lost their companion, you can use them to clean furniture.

• Clear the desk, archive papers that you no longer use, review and organize the mail received.

• Get rid of pens and markers that don't work.

❍ The Meaning of Disorder in Our Home

Human beings send messages and signals according to the accommodation of our personal belongings, even in our drawers. The accumulation of objects is a way of emitting signals; too many objects emit the saturation signal of being totally confused. This represents unstructured and undefined ideas, projects and plans.

Disorder alters the path to achieve our goals. It blocks the access routes of opportunities and makes us waste time which can be invaluable to structure our life plan in an orderly and disciplined way.

Depending on the place where the disorder accumulates is the message or signal that is being emitted:

• If there is disorder or objects piled up at the entrance of the house, it is interpreted as fear of relating to other people.

• If there is a mess or objects piled up in the closet, the message is that you do not have control over handling your emotions.

• If there is disorder or objects piled up in the kitchen, the message or sign is of resentment or sentimental fragility.

• If there is a mess on the desk or work area, the message is of frustration, fear and the need to control situations.

• If there is disorder behind the doors, the message is of fear of not being accepted by others, or feelings of constantly watched.

• If there is disorder under the furniture, the message is that too much importance is given to appearances.

• If there is disorder or objects accumulated in the garage, the message is of fear and lack of ability to update.

• If there is disorder and objects piled up throughout the house, the message is lack of courage, anger, laziness and apathy towards all aspects of life.

• If there is disorder or objects accumulated in corridors, the message is of conflicts to communicate, fear of saying and manifesting what is desired in life.

• If there is disorder or objects accumulated in the room, the message is fear of social rejection.

• If there is disorder in the dining room, the message is of fear. Of not taking firm and solid steps, a sense of dominance on the part of the family.

About the Disorder Louise L. Hay says:

Make room for the new ‘yes’. Empty the refrigerator, throw away all those remains wrapped in aluminum foil. Clean the closets, get rid of everything you haven’t used in the last six months. And if you haven't used it for a year, that's definitely too much clutter in your house. Sell it, change it, give it away or burn it.

The crowded and messy cabinets reflect a mind in disorder. While cleaning the closets, tell yourself that you are cleaning your mental closets. The Universe loves symbolic gestures...

Anyone else feel the same way🙋🏼‍♀️

Inconsolable infant? We can help! Birth trauma and in-utero constraint can cause subluxation (stuck patterns and structural misalignment). These subluxations are very uncomfortable for a baby until they resolve. Chiro for infants and children is gentle, safe, and highly effective.
