In the latest episode of "Crackin' Backs," we delve into the remarkable journey of Dr. David Mehler. His story, replete with transformation and enlightenment, serves as a beacon of hope and inspiration for all seeking a deeper connection with their true selves.
The Awakening of a Healer
From a tender age of five, David exhibited an innate capacity to heal and protect. This early calling set the stage for a life dedicated to helping others. However, the path wasn't straightforward. Post-college, David found himself trapped in a soul-draining job selling photocopy machines, a job that led to physical ailments like ulcers, which doctors misattributed to heredity. It wasn't until he quit that the ulcers healed, revealing the profound impact of aligning one's life with their inner calling.
The Journey to Self-Discovery
Encouraged by his father to find his true passion, David embarked on a quest that led him to chiropractic offices, where he discovered an environment of happiness and healing. This discovery propelled him to pursue chiropractic, a field resonating deeply with his core values.
Two Decades of Healing and Growth
For 20 years, Dr. Mehler practiced in Manhattan, mastering Network Spinal Analysis (NSA). This unique technique, focusing on the nervous system rather than traditional spinal adjustments, aligns perfectly with David's philosophy of treating the root causes of ailments. NSA wasn't just a medical practice for him; it was a spiritual awakening, a means to connect body, mind, and soul.
Expanding Horizons
The urge to extend his impact beyond the clinic walls led Dr. Mehler to launch retreats called “Soul Powered” with his wife, Kathleen. These retreats aimed to awaken the primal energy within men and women, helping them rediscover their true selves. This venture later evolved into “Man ON Fire” and “Wild Women in Love,” initiatives tailored to empower men and women in unique, yet complementary ways.
A Personal Transformation
Dr. Mehler's personal encounter with NSA marked a turning point. Despite initial skepticism, he experienced a profound cathartic release in his fifth session. This experience was a pivotal moment, as he felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude, grace, and a reconnection with his innocent, joyful inner child.
Raising Consciousness
Dr. Mehler believes that most issues in our world can be traced back to a single concept: consciousness. His mission is to help men elevate their consciousness, breaking free from repetitive patterns and societal conditioning. He envisions a world led by heart-centered, conscious men who are in touch with both their masculine and feminine energies.
Embracing Emotions
A central theme in Dr. Mehler's philosophy is the need to embrace and process emotions. He warns against the dangers of suppressing feelings, which can manifest as physical illnesses. His goal is to help people, especially men, understand and control their primal energies constructively.
The Six Human Needs
Drawing inspiration from his time with Tony Robbins, Dr. Mehler emphasizes the importance of understanding the six human needs – Certainty, Uncertainty/Variety, Significance, Connection/Love, Growth, and Contribution. He believes that true fulfillment comes from focusing on growth and contribution, transcending beyond superficial societal connections to genuine, deep relationships.
The Power of Authenticity and Self-Respect
Dr. Mehler urges us to seek authenticity in our actions and relationships. He advises trading the desire for external validation for self-respect, emphasizing that true happiness comes from within.
In Conclusion: The Art of Forgiveness and Compassion
Dr. David Mehler's story is not just about chiropractic; it's about awakening to our fullest potential and leading lives of purpose and authenticity. He leaves us with a powerful message: practice forgiveness and compassion, starting with ourselves.
