Alphabiotics
Just like computers, when things start overheating, we need to reboot and reset in order to function most effectively. (Or function at all.) Alphabiotics is an alignment process that aims to do just that: Reset the body into its pure state of balance and relaxation. The Alignment process is accomplished with you lying on your back with your head at the high end of the alignment table. The process involves a unique and invigorating movement of the head and is accomplished within less than a minute. Instantly, the brain hemispheres integrate, overly tight and tense muscles relax, weak muscles strengthen, hips and shoulders level, legs become even, and balance is once again restored. The process is gentle and easy.
As we know, stress plays a huge role in chronic illness. Do I consider alphabiotics a modality that can support you in healing from chronic illness? Absolutely. As always, listen to your body, ask a doctor or someone you trust, but, as I say in this episode, healing comes in many forms, I just do what works. Alphabiotics WORKS for a lot of people.

Weekly Challenge:
A practice of presence: For the next two weeks, we have been challenged to put our phones down, look our colleagues and friends in the eyes and ask how the heck they are. That’s it, my friend! We simply practice intimacy through presence— we notice how uncomfortable this does or does not make us. We soften our bodies and stand straight up with our arms at our sides—no freaking walls. I know, it sounds simple, but start paying attention and see how often you’re able to have that type of interaction. Keep me posted on Instagram @sheajackie. I’m excited for this one!
