Extraordinary Living Podcast - Ep 5 - Choosing Vitalism

Drs. Andrew & Naomi Downey run Graceful Health… a center for extraordinary living. We utilize ELAN Healing systems to optimize a person’s personal growth, health and vitality. We realize healing is the emerging center of health care. To that end, we care for the individual, train healing facilitators and provide wellness education to the public. https://www.elanhealing.com/ https://www.gracefulhealth.com T. Andrew Downey, DC Naomi A. Downey, DC Integral Neurology - a dynamic art form of light touch which develops the brain, restructures the body and invites new possibilities for greater life effectiveness. We chose the word Integral to depict this aspect of ELAN because the word speaks of integrity and integration. Two human qualities which are central to how we view healing. Integrity - a solid dependable structure. This could be your body, your emotions, your psychology or your actions. Integration - The ability to include a skill into your day/life. Many traditions in health and healing speak of an innate intelligence or body wisdom. It is the part of all of us that our highest good comes from and our best life springs forth. Integral Neurology sets innate on fire. It creates the situation neurologically where a person becomes connected to their body wisdom. Deep, meaningful answers and insights are experienced. As a person listens, feels and sees their body with greater clarity they make healthier choices. And due to the fact that having health, vitality and an extraordinary life is simply a series of healthy choices - that is the natural outcome. Evolutionary Personal Care (EPC) - a form of breath work which is simple, profound and effective. EPC is the system of choice for self care. EPC is taught at all ELAN Studios. The exercises are easy to learn and when applied can instantaneously change your experience of life. For example, a person could move themselves from experiencing a state of panic to one of safety or from apathetic to powerful. Having the tools to shift your state of consciousness gives you a very real advantage in life. The life advantages learned through EPC help you embody the life you would love to have, gracefully and efficiently. This can sound too good to be true, and we all know the adage- “if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is.” These are wise words to live by, yet, I have found that often simple new skills transform lives. I believe the key is where the responsibility lies: When you learned to ride a bike, in many cases it was your mom or dad’s responsibility to give you supportive instruction and hold you up. As they encouraged you and you developed greater ability they allowed responsibility to slowly shift to you. A couple of weeks go by, and low and behold, a whole new world has opened up in front of you. You zip around like never before. You now ride to school and get all the way to Joey’s house without begging mom for a ride.
