Spinal Flow Technique and the Power Gateway
The power gateway comprises the lumbar section of the spine which is made up of the largest segments of the vertebral column. Their broadness helps bear the weight of our torso and when we carry heavy loads.
The power gateway is connected to the colon, stomach, liver, gallbladder, and small intestines. It is the area where the body accesses the nutrition it needs through digestion, and so the most common cause of blockages in this area is caused by chemical stress.
Unless you are living off the grid in complete isolation, you will experience a degree of
toxicity. It’s unavoidable. However, we can minimise our exposure.
Some things to consider are:
● Food: processed, refined sugars, artificial ingredients, preservatives, pesticides,
GMOs
● Water: chlorine, fluoride, plastics, metals, and chemicals leaching into the water
supply
● Plastics: bottles and containers, especially when heated (this includes plastic water
bottles that have been inadvertently heated in transit and storage prior to purchase)
● Air: cars, trucks, factories, air fragrance, recycled air
● Lifestyle: stress, smoking, prescription, and non-prescription drugs
● Personal care: cosmetics, antiperspirants, skincare, hair care, and perfumes
● Household cleaners & garden products
All of these interfere with how our body functions and can cause a gradual build-up of
toxicity and blockages in your spine.
What the body cannot remove through the bowel, blood, and lymphatic system or
liver, it contains for safekeeping. This creates a blockage, which creates stress on the
nervous system. Blockages caused by chemical stress interfere with your health, diminish
your ability to heal, create nerve blockages, and can affect the organ systems and
well-being of your body. The more toxins your body is exposed to, or continues to be
exposed to, the greater the build-up, until pain, disease, and/or illness become the
method your body uses to plead with you to live differently.
The following table lists common conditions arising from blockages in this gateway:
- Coated tongue
- Dark skin under the eyes
- Disc problems
- Flatulence
- Indigestion
- Irritable Bowel
- Apathy
- Bloating
- Abdominal cramps
- Bad breath
- Depression
● Digestive discomfort
● Gluten intolerance
● Inflammation
● Lacking support
● Autoimmune disease
● Bowel problems
● Co-dependency
●Constipation
● Insulin sensitivity
● Leaky Gut
● Premenstrual tension
● Spinal degeneration
● Reflux
● Feeling disempowered
● Hormone disruption
When the power gateway is blocked, you can experience lower back pain, fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, sleep disturbance, skin rashes/acne, hormonal issues, and congestion. When this gateway is open, you will experience better digestion, more energy, no bloating, no pain, and more energy.
