		<description><![CDATA[When we speak of adjusting any part of the body, it is often the spinal adjustments we are referring to.  But almost any joint can become strained and distorted. And most joints can also be manipulated and adjusted including those in the skull and the chest.  Chest adjustment, particularly near the top of the chest, [...]]]></description>

from Walt Whitman&#8217;s &#8220;Song of Myself&#8221; in Leaves of Grass










CONTEMPLATION

 
I lean and loaf and sit around
Taking in the sights and sounds
Of shore or meadow or a wooded trail;
I’ll watch a squirrel shake its tail
Or listen to the crickets chirp.
Feel the sun upon [...]]]></description>

And in seconds I relax.

My limbs grow heavy; I’m cool in head.
