Updated Note – June 10, 2025
I’m sitting on my couch with a heating pad on my shoulders, feeling the soreness from my recent chiropractic appointment. There had been extra time between visits, and my body needed to realign. It was necessary. I followed it up with therapy—because mental alignment is necessary. And this journey culminated with a virtual growth group studying Spiritual Self-Care—because spiritual alignment is necessary.
As I reflect on this full-circle moment, I thought it was the perfect time to revisit and share this post again.
#Alignment
Alignment: The arrangement, positioning, or adjustment of elements to achieve a state of harmony, congruence, or agreement, aimed at optimizing functionality, performance, or achieving a specific desired outcome.
In my quest to prioritize my physical health and Revive My Body (See what I did right there 😉) I now see a Chiropractor. Since this was my first experience, I came with a list of questions. My doctor said she appreciated my questions and as she explained the process and advantages of being aligned, One of the disadvantages of being physically misaligned is experiencing discomfort or pain, which can impact daily activities and overall well-being, It reminded me of the importance of spiritual and mental alignment.
1. Harmony and Balance:Just as chiropractic care seeks to align the body for optimal physical function, spiritual alignment aims to harmonize thoughts, emotions, and beliefs. When aligned spiritually, individuals experience a sense of balance, peace, and harmony within themselves, leading to improved mental well-being.
2. Clarity and Focus: Similar to how proper spinal alignment improves nerve function, spiritual alignment enhances mental clarity and focus. Aligning spiritually often involves practicing mindfulness, meditation, or spiritual disciplines, allowing individuals to clear mental clutter and focus on what truly matters, fostering mental wellness.
3. Connection and Purpose: Alignment in chiropractic care supports my body's connection and integration. When I am in spiritual alignment , it nurtures a deeper connection with myself, others, and a sense of purpose. Psalm 37:5 (NIV): “Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this.” speaks to aligning plans and actions with God’s will and trusting in God’s guidance. When spiritually aligned, I can experience a greater sense of meaning, fulfillment, and connectedness, contributing to enhanced mental well-being.
