Good morning and happy Monday!
We had a baby–Thank you for all of the love and support! We appreciate all of the emails and texts!!
Meet our newest source of instability. Atlas Sol Johnson was born on Thursday evening 39 hours after Sarah’s water broke. Our hearts are overflowing with love. We are so grateful he decided to join our family. Our dear friends have set up a meal train for us and I have included the link under the photo below if anyone feels drawn to participate or donate gift cards. Please do not feel obligated. I am only including it here since so many of you have asked if we were registered anywhere or if they could get us anything.
Our journey this week was more challenging and rewarding than we could have ever imagined. We were pushed up to and past our breaking points in many ways and were also loved and supported beyond what we could have imagined from friends, family, soul family and even strangers. We are beyond grateful. This week we berthed Atlas Sol Johnson, and in the process Sarah and I were reborn as well.
Somatopsychic wave
Over the last few weeks, we have talked about the respiratory wave. The respiratory wave helps you connect to and release stored stress and stimulates an overall parasympathetic tone in your body and nervous system. This wave creates more stability in your spine and overall system.
The other wave in Network is the somatopsychic wave (sp), and it creates temporary instability. It does this in order to help your spine and overall system reorganize to higher levels of efficiency and function.
This wave is muscular in nature and its job is to carry energy and information (from stored stress processed via the respiratory wave) up and down your spine and from different parts of your body into the gateways we are working with. Essentially it picks ups up newly liberated energy and information as it travels through your body and carries it to the areas where we make contacts. This allows your system to use the energy that was previously bound (as stored stress) to grow, heal and reorganize.
Network helps improve your spine and life by stacking levels of stability and instability during each entrainment and from entrainment to entrainment as described above. We are constantly accessing if your spine needs more stability or instability before each contact we make. Some days your system will require more stability and some days your system will require more instability. If you experience a lot of instability in one session, you will likely need more stability the next session. This is another reason we recommend coming regularly. Imagine cleaning out a closet or garage. At first, things get a little more messy or unstable as you take things out. Later the overall system moves to a higher level of stability as you get rid of things that you no longer need and then put things back in a more efficient/functional way.
In general, the sp wave looks like a sine or ocean wave that moves up and down your spine. The way your individual wave looks and the way you experience this wave depends on your Triad of Change (to be covered later). Some people will have very large or small fluid waves, some people will have large or small jerky or staccato wave and some people will have more of a feeling of a wave. That said, no two persons Network wave is exactly the same. Everyone has a unique wave just like they have a unique fingerprint or gait (the mathematical pattern of the way you walk).
In general, learning something new, getting better at anything or growing as a person requires stacking levels of stability and instability. Too much stability is boring and leads to stagnation. Too much instability leads to constant stress and burn out, and it is hard to make progress without laying a solid/ stable foundation. This is why we are constantly accessing if your spine/life needs more stability or more instability at the start of and throughout each entrainment (I say life because, as Donny says, “the shape, position and tone of your spine equals the shape position and tone of your life”).
I look forward to seeing everyone in the office this week
Love
Homer and Sarah
8/19/19- Somatopsychic wave
08/5/19- Respiratory wave
| Good morning and Happy Monday, This is the first week of our new hours. The only things that have changed are that Tuesday and Thursday morning shifts now match Monday and Wednesday, and all morning shifts now go through 1:15pm We ask that you are in the door by 1:15pm to get entrained during the morning shifts. Afternoon hours have not changed. So why this change? We have noticed that 1:15pm seems to be a natural cutoff, and that not many people come in from 1:30-2:30pm. Having different hours on different days was confusing. This will simplify things making it easier to come get entrained. This will also allow me to go home for lunch Tue and Thur to see our newborn, give Sarah a short break, and pick Max up from extended day a couple days a week. I love being at the office, and being able to go home and come back (instead of staying at the office all day like I had been on T and Th) will allow me to be more energy rich and to provide better care. Respiratory wave What is the respiratory wave? There are 2 waves in Network that carry energy and information through your body. The first is the respiratory or breath wave. This wave allows your Nervous System to become aware of stress and tension stored in your body and begin to release it. It starts at your tail bone and travels all the way up your body to your head and back down, eventually carrying energy and information into the Gateway (where we make contacts) we are working with. How much of the respiratory wave are you aware of? Do you feel it moving up your spine rocking each bone as it goes? Does it stop or get stuck somewhere? Are you aware of it moving through your neck all the way to the top and back down your spine? Do you feel it go into the gateway and maybe notice a lifting or rocking in your body at the place we made a contact? The more you are aware of, the more you can connect to and release. As Donny says, “You have to feel it to heal it.” This is why you might notice pain that you were unaware of as you lay on the table. This wave is all about adding stability and ease to your system. It is generally the first thing to develop and that people notice. It usually starts out only moving part of the way up your spine and body and gets bigger/ moves further with repetition. We might ask you tuck your chin or lift part of your body to help the wave progress. The respiratory wave also drives your parasympathetic system (the rest and digest) and reprograms the way you breath off the table as well. Many people report being more aware of their breath during daily life, and that their breath is deeper of fuller than before starting care. Each of the roughly 20,000 breaths you take each day can make you more or less healthy, and most of these breaths are unconscious. Regular Network care is a great way to make sure that each of the 20,000 breaths you take each day is working for you instead of just keeping you alive. Here is an article on the benefits of deep breathing. |

8/1/19- Important update to office hours
| Hi everyone! As we get ready to have a new baby, we are making some changes to optimize our future lives. Starting next week, all of our morning shifts (M-Th) will be from 10 am – 1:15pm. Please feel free to come all the way up to 1:15pm. I do not plan on leaving until close to 1:30pm. This change will allow me to pick Max up from school a few days per week and to go home for lunch to give Sarah a break and be with our new baby on Tuesday and Thursday. We will also be going through our face cloth holders and removing any tags for people who have not been in in some time. Finally, be on the look out for a possible re organization of the entraining room. We are experimenting with a few different layouts and will see if we like any of them better than our current layout. See below for more information on upcoming epienergetic events. The gate is a great entry point to the event world. At the gate you receive 5 Network sessions by some of the top entraining staff in the world as well as group exercises. The gate happens to be at the Gaylord Rockies Resort and Convention Center which conveniently has a water park in it. The AWE event is a great entry point to Donny events. At the AWE you are worked on by Donny exclusivly. Click here to get more information and register. |
| The next Transformational Gate is at the end of this month in Denver, CO. At this hallmark EpiEnergetics community gathering you will develop, experience, and explore your unique spinal wave that awakens, enlivens, and heals. Non-authentic nervous system and spinal patterns are replaced by your authentic healing signature. Experience the 12 Stages of Healing coupled with extraordinary awakening. Formerly exclusively available to those actively in NetworkSpinal Care, this program is now also available for seekers wanting to discover the sheer magic of the body’s wisdom and life’s unfolding! This weekend is a MUST for seekers to know, understand, and optimize their bodies and the organizing energies that fuel us all. More than seventy thousand participants from six continents have come through The Gate. See you on the other side! |
AWE announecd for October!
For Seekers wishing to hack the energetic code of your incarnation. You can be part of an intimate group that will experience EpiExchange, an energetic method created and exclusively provided by Donny Epstein. Through talks, exercises and table sessions we will go beyond experiencing energy in the field and actually begin to form personal Energy Houses in the fields of attendees! At AWE, by helping link the forces of creation through your field, you will actually experience EpiField Exchange. Beyond change or personal development you can exchange your organizing EpiField and be a higher, more congruent, more authentic and effective version of YOU. You will forever alter your concepts of what is possible at this life-changing weekend of AWE. |
7/29/19-Going with the Flow vs Making a shift
| Good morning and happy Monday,
We are one week closer to having a baby; Sarah’s approximate due date is August 17th! We are hoping for a weekend birth, and we will see how that actually goes 🙂 If we need to close the office suddenly, we will send out an email to everyone and do our best to put a note on the door and change the voicemail. Go with the flow vs making a shift “Going with the flow” or “swimming with the current of life” vs. “swimming upstream” is a great way to live life and works conceptually for most people. However, from the view of the Triad of Change (an epienergetic model), there are a group of people that will have a very hard time with concept of “going with the flow.” That group of people would be anyone who typically has a behavior drain. You will know you are one of these people if the concept of “going with the flow” has never made sense to you or never seemed relevant or seemed to work for you.**(see below for a refresher on the triad) For these people, the concept or idea of flowing will actually drain energy from their overall system. Instead of “flowing”, a good strategy could be to focus on making a shift or even multiple shifts in a row. For everyone, there will be times when going with the flow will work better and when focusing on shift/s will work better. The goal is to know what works best for you most of the time and to use that to move the same direction / flow as that which the current of life is pulling you. Respiratory wave Look for more information on the Respiratory wave and how it changes your spine and life in next weeks email. The respiratory waves are the really big breaths you feel/ take while on the entrainment table, and they do much more than you think. Have wonderful day and week! **As a refresher there are 3 sides to the Triad (Perception, structure and behavior), and the idea with the Triad of Change is to know your personal formula to go from energy neutral to energy rich. The triad has 3 parts: The prime which is the initial spark or what comes first to prime the overall system, the keystone which is the way we manage the world or our “auto pilot”, and the drain or the part that drains energy from your system when gone to directly. The ideal order is prime–> keystone–> drain. Done in this order, the energy carries over into the drain to fully fuel your system. This is a simplified explanation. |

7/22/19- Newsletter to be posted in blogs
| Hi everyone,
We are happy to be open Monday- Friday this week! We apologize to those of you that missed that we would be out of the office Thursday and Friday the last two weeks. We know some of you drive a long way to see us and we appreciate your dedication to your care and evolution. We have started posting our newsletters to our website under the blogs to make it easier to go back and reference them. Newsletters are the best place to find when we will be open/closed and we do our best to let everyone know weeks in advance of closures. We are 36 weeks pregnant this week!! Our fingers our crossed that Sarah will go into labor sometime Thursday evening- Saturday and that we will not have to close the office. If she goes into labor during the work week, we will send an email newsletter updating day or days closed. I have done a poor job updating the voicemail hours lately. I’m sorry for the inconvenience and will do better on this. Have a wonderful day today!! |

7/15/19- Tony Robbins’ Priming exercise and Gratitude
| Next Level Chiropractic |
| Hi everyone, We had an amazing time at Tony Robbins’ Unleash the Power Within event, and I wanted to share just a bit of it with you. One of the exercises we did was a way to prime your day for gratitude, and I have included a link to a video form 2017 where Tony leads the exercise. See it here. This exercise is meant to be done in the morning. Why would you want to start your day with Gratitude? To start off gratitude is a super energy rich emotion and this will raise your energy state to help get you and those around to have a great start to the day. It is also very well known that gratitude is a wonderful emotion. In fact, if you type the words “Gratitude is” into the search bar these are some of the tops suggestions that pop up. Google: Gratitude is a must , Gratitude is the best attitude, Gratitude is a powerful catalyst for happiness, Gratitude is the parent of all virtues Yahoo: Gratitude is the key to happiness, Gratitude is a must, Gratitude is good for you, Gratitude is the best attitude Generally we all start each day with some sort of emotion. Maybe not at first, but at some point something will make you happy, sad, mad, excited, frustrated or cause you to react in some other way. So if we have to experience emotion each day, why not make the first one a great one:) Come in for a rocking entrainment this week! |

7/8/19 Newsletter – hydration tips
| Next Level Chiropractic |
| Hi everyone, We are incredibly grateful to have been gifted tickets to Tony Robbins’ Unleash the Power Within next week. The office will be rocking and rolling Monday- Wednesday only as we take this incredible opportunity to better ourselves Thursday-Sunday. Summer is here and it is hot! One of the most important things during this season is to stay hydrated! If you are spending time outside in the heat, you will need more water to stay properly hydrated. (add even more water if you are having adult beverages). I stopped drinking coffee and wine for the first couple weeks of my heavy metal detox to help my body flush things out and I noticed that I needed to focus some attention on my hydration. The easiest way to know if you are hydrated is by the color of your pee. Here is a great article on that– Most people know that you do not want dark yellow pee, but you might be surprised to find that totally clear pee is also not ideal. My re-hydration was taking way longer than I thought it should, so I started to dig deeper into hydration. It turns outs drinking tons of water by itself, especially at one time, is not the fastest or best way to hydrate. These are my hydration tips for the summer: Drink water throughout the day, especially first thing in the morning. It is helps to add a small amount of sea salt, sugar, and lime/lemon to your morning water. You can also add lime/lemon throughout the day. Here is an article on why ( Be careful not to add too much salt as it can upset your stomach. Drinking water with 2-3 spoons of salt is associated with a body flush/ cleanse.) Eat fruits and vegetables that are rich in water content. Avoid excessive coffee and alcohol. Make hydration a habit- don’t wait til your thirsty! We hope you enjoy these tips and suggest you experiment with the proportions for your optimal hydration! We have also sold out on the TRS detox we had ordered for the office. We are selling them for $75 per bottle. You can purchase an individual bottle for $97 plus shipping or a 3 pack for $150 plus shipping by clicking here. Let us know if you would like an individual bottle and we will see about ordering more for the office once there are multiple people interested. |

Tony Robbins Says NSA is the “Most Powerful Source of Transformation”
Tony Robbins is one of the world’s leading personal growth experts and this is what he has to say about Network Spinal:
“I am stronger, more inspired, creative, and healthy because of this work. It has personally and professionally helped me to maximize my ability to contribute to others.”
“Network Spinal Analysis represents the epitome of body work; it is the leading of body/mind/spirit integration. This work will transform the planet.”
“Network Spinal Analysis and Somato-Respiratory Integration, Donny Epstein’s revolutionary methodologies, are amongst the most powerful sources of personal transformation I have ever experienced or seen. They produce embodied and empowered strategies that are both sustainable and enjoyable for enhanced human resourcefulness and wellness.
Our team here at Next Level Chiropractic has had the great pleasure of caring for Tony Robbins over the last few years when he comes to the great state of Texas.
What is Network Spinal Analysis?
Network Spinal Analysis is a chiropractic technique created by Dr. Donny Epstein in the 1980s. This technique uses gentle, precise touches to entrain the body to allow the release of tensions through the initiation of Respiratory and Somatopsychic waves. These waves initiate re-organizational healing, which allows for greater consciousness of the body, the emotions, the mind, and the Self. This greater awareness leads to growth in making decisions that better serve the body and mind.
At it’s core, Network Spinal Analysis is primarily focused on the health and integrity of the spine and nervous system; the system which controls and connects every other system within the body. As the nervous system is upgraded through care, the whole body is upgraded as a result.
What are the objectives of Network Spinal Analysis?
NSA aims for patient members achieving allostasis rather than homeostasis. Allostasis refers to the ability to maintain stability through change-i.e. to adapt; adapting rather than merely maintaining. This allows people under Network care to grow and improve their lives.
Through Network care, people are able to make better choices partly due to the automatic or autonomic part of the central nervous system not being stuck in a fight or flight state and more activation of the prefrontal cortex. Network Spinal Analysis has research showing it’s improvement with chronic pain, depression, anxiety, balance, ADD and ADHD, concentration, energy, migraines, stress, and mind-body connection. Patients receiving NSA care have also shown dramatic improvements in their life such as starting exercising or doing yoga, making better food choices, taking vitamins and not smoking without their doctor having instructed them to make these changes.
