What is it that you FEAR? What is it that is holding you back from not only having the practice that you want, but also from being the person, wife, husband or friend that you know you can be. This two audio series, by Dr. James Sigafoose, will help you get there. Dr. Sigafoose walks you through the meditation and visualization steps. Each one of the Audios are meant to be used on a daily basis. They are no longer then 30 minuets each and when used properly will help you get past the fears that are holding you back. This two audio series is not for the faint of heart. It will bring up many old hurts and traumas that are holding you back. Many of our fears come from many different places, they come from our experience over a lifetime and our educated mind puts these in a lose mentality so that you don’t feel hurt, embarrassment or pain again. We need to bring these things to the surface and we need to overcome them. This process keeps us held up, it keeps us from taking chances and from being creative and from moving forward.
You see it is all a matter of semantics at this point. Some people like my father call it God; whether you refer to your higher power as God, the Indian God Ganesh, Allah, The Great Spirit, Vishnu, Christ, Jehovah, El Shaddai, The Universe, Universal Intelligence, The Great Artificer, the Hopi God Tawa, Nature, or any other name by that which you call the Great Being, it doesn't matter. Each of us has a personal relationship with it and no one should stand in judgment. I respect my father and his relationship with God. It was in his core, just as my own relationship with Nature or Science or Universal Intelligence is in my core. When I allowed myself to believe in a Power greater then myself, I allowed myself to know that I could get better. Now don’t get me wrong, this all took years of hard work and I had to be honest with myself about all of my actions that got me to the awful place that I was, but I had FAITH. It was that faith in something greater then me that saved my life and I am happy to say that I have not touched a drink in almost four years!
Benjamin Franklin once said, “Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement and success have no meaning. When we speak of growth many words come to mind, like development as in, it hasn’t yet reached its full growth. Now that could be a plant you are talking about or even a skill. Or how you work in your office as in going from a simpler to a more complex stage, in any manner it is all still talking about growth. Dr. Sigafoose say that life is growth and growth is change. Everything is supposed to grow in life and without growth then we do not learn or change as humans. But in order to grow we must be willing to control our thoughts. Because to control our thoughts is to control circumstances, conditions, environment and our destiny.
The following story has been a part of my family for over 40 years and it has taken on many forms over those years. First it was a story on a piece of paper given to my father Dr. James Sigafoose. He then turned it into a simple children's magazine style booklet that he would hand out in the office and at any spinal screenings that he and my mother, Patricia Sigafoose, would do. Years later my sister, Dr. Selina Sigafoose-Jackson turned it into a video story and finally today it has been turned into our second Chirotoon, the first being "Billy The Life Cell." So today on SigTalks, Sit back and enjoy a little bit of chiropractic, told in a manner for the most important patient in your office, The Children.
I went back and forth about releasing this next consultation call, seeing that it was my fathers last call. But in the end, after listening to it 4 or 5 times, I realized something. My fathers passion and his explanation of how to express the chiropractic story never changes, in all the audios I have listen to over the past 6 months, his explanation of chiropractic and how to improve, not only your practice, but your life as well, never, ever changes. The entire audio is about 40 min. in total and what you are about to hear is only 16-17 min. of it. So with that, hear is Sigafoose and his last consultation call to all of his clients on the Sigafoose System.
A sneak peak, behind the scenes look at Sigafoose.com. Dr. Ed Osburn from, The Chiropractic Philanthropist, interviews Dr. Carey Pabouet-Sigafoose and Chris Burfield from, Market From The Heart and The Chiropractic Underground. Join us for a short journey and conversation about how Sigafoose.com came about and why Chris and Dr. Carey chose to launch Sigafoose.com in the manner they did.
There are moments in my life when I understand chiropractic much better then other times and this is one of those moments. Don’t get me wrong, I know what we do as chiropractors, I have known all my life, for example when I was a child and the school wanted us to be vaccinated and I wouldn’t let them or when I got sick at school at the age of 6 and I asked the school nurse if I could go home to get adjusted, but then there are just moments like listening to this. Listening to my father explain the purpose of chiropractic and understanding that we as chiropractors still have so much to do and so much more to learn.
I’m sure your wondering why I chose Billy The Life Cell for this weeks SigTalks episode. Well the reason is pretty simple. Sometimes I think we forget about our most important patients, that being the children. This simple story explains to kids and adults how the human body works. From the white blood cells and their job of fighting off infection to the communication between the brain and the body and how a subluxation can interfere with that communication. It touches on how symptoms work and how the body uses these symptoms to let us know that there is something wrong. The story is only about 6 minutes long, but it educates everyone in a fun and memorable way. Dr. Sig was always trying to get his patients to understand the importance of chiropractic care for the entire family and how chiropractic is safe for children. There has been several large-scale research studies verifying the safety and effectiveness of chiropractic care for kids. The amount of force used to adjust an infant is comparable to the amount of force you use to test a ripe tomato at the grocery store. Those of you with kids know that they are certainly able to withstand a lot more pressure than that! We as chiropractors have been helping kids lead healthier lives for over 100 years, but why do kids need chiropractic care?
Every week as I dig through the piles of tapes and DVD’s that my father created I get excited, because most of the time I have no idea of what it is he is going to talk about and this week was no different. The fun part for me is not only getting to listen to my father, but also to figure out what the topic was for the week. When I chose the November 2007 recording it was very clear to me that this was a GREAT choice. I mean come on how many of us don’t wish we had a better Vision of what we wanted and where we wanted to go. Of course as usual this talk or phone conversation is directed at building your practice and improving your life, but it is so much more and the information that my father shared could be used in any aspect of your life.
The best part of having this podcast it creating fun and interesting shows. So today I am mixing things up a little bit and I am going to talk to you at the beginning instead of my usual comment section at the end, because what I have brought you today is one of my fathers entire phone consultations and well it speaks for itself. Dr. Sigafoose shares with his clients the importance of, well not being mediocre. So for this episode it is recommended that you get a pad of paper and a pen and take notes.

Today I find myself in McKinney, Texas. I came here for a 4 day master mind session to put the finishing touches on the Sigafoose.com site and to plan our launch event. While being here, I thought I would take the time to share a clip with my friend Chris Burfield and to see what he gets from Dr. Sigafoose’s talk. As usual Dr. Sigafoose delivers an incredible performance. Sigafoose at Red Deer is a 4 audio set, covering 5 hours of chiropractic history, principle and philosophy. The clip that you just listened to is approximately 22 minutes of Dr. Sig, covering the history of chiropractics amazing birth.
In this Episode of SigTalks, we have a candid talk with Patricia Sigafoose herself. Not only discussing about this weeks clip from,”10 Hours With Sigafoose,” but also why she thinks this was Dr. Sig’s most famous Audio Series EVER. So join us for a spell, while we learn, laugh and cry.
Think about what Dr. Sigafoose said for just one second. “99.99% of where we end up is from what we think – say – and DO.” That is worth saying again – 99.99% of where we end up is from what we think – say – and DO! We have to bring it into life by forming it in our thoughts FIRST! Most people talk more about what they don’t like or want -- then what they DO. By accepting something before we get it we attract to ourselves as much as anything as we embody from within.
This is a really powerful episode. It is an eight section audio series covering three different Green Books. Including :“Palmers Laws Of Life,” “The Bigness From The Fellow Within,” “The Great Divide.” I really did not know how much to include on this episode, but in the end, I cut it off after the Laws of Innate intelligence and the Law of nonconformity. Don’t get me wrong I listened to all 8+ hours of tapes, (TWICE), but in the end I went with the first 25-30 min of audio one. This recording is of Dr. Sigafoose reading from, Palmers Law of Life, Volume 36, 1958 in a studio in Sarasota Florida called Electric Mountain Sound. The chapter that he covers first is called, The Law of Innate Intelligence and it jumps right into the question of where does Innate come from at birth and where does it go at death. The second part is, ”The law of nonconformity.” This section starts with one sentence – “This is something to think about – NOT – something to fight about.
I honestly think that a scholar could take a lifetime dissecting every word that my father wrote in these pages. I, for my own education as well as for the purpose of this episode, have read this book, easily 10 or more times and I still get dizzy at some points and have to stand up and jump up and down a few times to clear my mind before I jump back in and start reading it again. I understand now why my father has said repeatedly in his talks, that we must read to understand where chiropractic comes from and that we must read things over and over and over so that they may become a part of us and if we don’t, then don’t waist our money or our time. For that reason I am only going to delve into a small part of this book and I am going to highly recommend that you get this book and start learning it for yourself, so that you can make it a part of you. Learn it so well that when you speak to your patients or to anyone of about chiropractic, it flows out of you as if you and the pages are one.
First and four most I would like to say thank you for taking the time to listen to this pod cast, because without you there would be no reason to do it. There is not much that my father did not do that he wanted to do. There is not much that he did not do that he said he would do. It took years of incredibly hard work for my father to achieve the amount of success he achieved. In the beginning I would have to say that he did not have Balance, it was 100% ok well 200% the office and that was it. Period. So everything on this phone consultation is from experience and from the heart. If you take nothing away from this audio, take one thing, it is all about BALANCE and being in the present. Because as he said, “Yesterday is a canceled note and tomorrow is a promissory note, right now is the only time that you have. There is nothing wrong with planning and strategizing about your week to come, which is investing in your practice and your family. But when you are with one or the other you must be there 100%. Do you see what Dr. Sigafoose was trying to say? All things are important, but we have to control where and what we do and not let time get away from us.
What an amazing talk! This was taped live in New Orleans and is approximately 2 and half hours long. I know we only listen to a portion of each of my fathers talks, but each clip that we review is filled with so much information, that it would literally take us a life time to get through each one. LOL So let’s just dive into this one.Through out this audio presentation Dr. Sigafoose repeatedly uses the term or terms Universal Intelligence – Zero Point Energy and God. Immediately he let’s us know that these terms, according to your understanding of them are all synonymous! They are all used to explain the power that made the body! For the purpose of sticking to one term, we will use what I feel is the point of this entire talk, Universal Intelligence or Universal Law.He opens this talk with the statement that we all operate on a principle, that being Universal LAW, that there is intelligence, within every particle of matter, which maintains its existence, and gives it all of its properties. He moves on from there and lets us know that the brain converts this intelligence into what we call Innate.
Welcome to our first full discussion on SigTalks. We are going to talk about what the show is about and how the format of the show works.
SigTalks is about a lifetime of work by Dr. James Sigafoose, all of his audios, videos, speaking engagements, telephone conference, writings’ and how all of this goes back to one thing, that being THE chiropractic philosophy, hence our tag line!
On each episode, we will either have a reading from one of Dr. Sig’s many writings or we will play a clip from one of his weekly phone conferences or audio or video talks. After the talk I will try and breakdown what we just heard. Sometimes I will have a guest, but most of the time it will be just me exploring the teachings of my father Dr. Jim Sigafoose.
