In July 1776, a group of individuals committed something extraordinary to paper: The Declaration of Independence. Among its most enduring words:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
Who doesn’t want Life, Liberty, and Happiness? More than two hundred years later, you’re living in a very different world — yet these principles ring just as true today as they did then.
What Freedom Means to You Today
The freedom you seek now may not be political freedom in the way it was sought back then. But freedom itself is still essential to your everyday life. So what does that freedom look like today?
It’s the freedom to become everything you were created to be. It’s the freedom to live fully. It’s the freedom to experience more prosperity, strength, acceptance, health, wisdom, joy, and ease — in your body and in your life.
What the Research Shows You’re Capable Of
A study at the University of California, Irvine, surveyed over 2,800 people and looked at the changes they self-reported as their spines became more free and flexible while under Network Spinal Analysis care. Researchers found that as your spine frees up, you can experience significant benefits across five major areas of your life.
You may feel improvements in your physical state, like:
- Less physical pain
- Less tension or stiffness in your spine
- Improved allergies
- Fewer colds and flu
- Fewer headaches
- Less menstrual discomfort
You may notice a shift in your mental and emotional state, including:
- Feeling better about yourself
- Less moodiness, anger, and depression
- More interest in life
- A sharper ability to think and concentrate
- Less distress about pain
You may find yourself responding to stress differently — with less stress around:
- Family and significant relationships
- Health
- Finances
- Daily problems
- Work
- Your general well-being
You may find yourself enjoying life more fully, with:
- A greater sense of relaxation and well-being
- More interest in maintaining a healthy lifestyle
- More openness when relating to others
- More confidence when facing adversity
- More compassion and acceptance of others
- More frequent feelings of joy and happiness
You may experience an improved overall quality of life, relative to:
- Your personal life
- How you adapt to change
- How you handle life’s problems
- What you actually accomplish in life
- Your overall contentment
- Your significant other and romantic life
- Your job and coworkers
- Life being what you want it to be
- How you feel about your physical appearance

You get to hold self-evident the greatness you were created and meant to be.
