Innate intelligence, a core concept in chiropractic philosophy, refers to the body’s inherent ability to coordinate and maintain its health and function, naturally!
By fostering the belief and understanding in children about this natural, inborn wisdom, and the amazing life that comes about from the full expression of this intelligence, children will consequently learn and develop in a way that embraces life, and one that embraces a capability to respond to life’s challenges.
“Understanding innate intelligence can profoundly impact how children trust their bodies and navigate life.”
By introducing the concept of an innate intelligence early in a child’s life, can illustrate to a child their body’s natural healing ability and the presence of the wisdom behind it. Simple, relatable examples, like how a cut heals without intervention and how they develop a new skin every 5 days are perfect ways to begin to introduce the concept.
Likewise, and perhaps more importantly, highlighting and bringing awareness to the reason and meaning for intelligent body signals and responses such as pain, fever, tiredness and thirst, can reinforce the idea that their bodies are immensely intelligent, adaptive and capable.
“The problem with the modern approaches of Education and the Medical model that our society embraces is that they destroy trust in our bodies, hope for the future, and lead us to underestimate our potential for an amazing life, naturally!”
Today’s education often focuses more on external knowledge than internal wisdom, potentially diminishing children’s belief in their innate abilities. Likewise, the prevalence of medical interventions as well as over reliance on medication can overshadow the body’s natural healing processes, leading children (and adults) to underestimate their innate health capabilities and the potential for an amazing life, naturally!
Children who understand the presence of their very own innate intelligence are more likely to trust their bodies and instincts, leading to better decision-making, self-confidence and a resilience that will carry them through life. Recognizing their body’s in-born wisdom will no doubt encourage proactive health behaviors enabling them to handle life’s challenges more effectively.
