Update South Africa 05-02-22
Continuing to monitor the situation in South Africa, with the schools, as well as wanting to share with you what’s going on in the rest of the world. So make sure you pay attention to the complete update today. Well, good morning, South African chiropractors. My name is Bharon Hoag. I am the Executive Director of OneChiropractic and The Chiropractic Defense Council coming to you today, Monday, May 02, 2022 for your weekly update continuing to monitor the situation with the schools. It’s been actually a pretty interesting observation to see how some of these schools are actually navigating these particular waters. But our legal team is really working hard, and we’re starting to see some relief and certain areas. So hopefully we’ll have some positive news that all of the schools have released their requirement for vaccination for our students.
But I do wanna update you a little bit on what’s going on around the rest of the world. Interesting developments as we’re seeing a lot of mandates lifted. Most of the areas that have been hit the hardest have been New Zealand and Australia. And we’re starting to see those things loosen up and not only are they loosening, but we’re finding governments are not really enforcing. They’re doing a lot of propaganda, a lot of dogma but they’re starting to shift and we’re starting to see how the leaders are kind of dumping this to other agencies. So for example, in Australia you have your Prime Minister, but they are not doing anything from the federal level. They are doing the states and having the Ministry of Health start putting language into their charters and into their code of conduct and things of that nature.
So it’s been very interesting to watch as they release the requirements on things like masks and vaccines, what they’re starting to do with other languages and how they are governing and the authority that they still have. So we wanna keep an eye on things like that there in South Africa, as well as you guys never were really hit quite as hard as the rest of the world. But as, as your government is looking and watching and observing what’s happening around the rest of the world, we are following or finding a lot of Simon says, and if one country does it, then another one wants to try it. So we are working with our team. We’re making sure that none of that stuff happens there. So, I can’t thank you guys enough. We don’t have a huge group in South Africa, but those of you that we have, we just appreciate you, and I want you to stay abreast of what’s going on in the rest of the world.
And, I will share this with you as a little bit of a motivation here on Monday that I’ve spent, that you can tell from my surroundings. I apologize about the lesser technology here. It’s a little bit more rudimentary than my normal videos, and I apologize for that, but I’ve spent the weekend in a technique seminar. I’m learning and observing how our chiropractors are being educated on different techniques and, and this amazing group called Centropy, with Aaron and Patrick, It’s been incredible to sit and watch and one of their themes, I don’t know if you can tell from my shirt, but it says drop in. And their idea is that when you’re about ready to administer adjustment, you need to drop in. You need to focus, get rid of everything around you and be present, a hundred percent present in that moment so that you have that energy transfer as you deliver the adjustment.
And it was just phenomenal to watch that process happen with chiropractic students. And we even had a chiropractor that had been in practice for over 30 years in the room and watching this transition in their mindset as they up into the moment with their patient. That’s what I want you to do this week. I want you to drop in. I want you to remove from your mind the things you can’t control and be a hundred percent present on the things that you can and watch what happens to your effectiveness and your ability to touch the lives of others. So know that we’re still here. We are fighting on your behalf. We’re monitoring, we’re watching. If you guys hear or see anything that we need to be aware of, I’d love for you to reach out to me, but just know you’re loved, you’re appreciated. And we’ll be back at you next week to let you know what’s going on. So have an incredible, incredible week. Don’t ever stop telling the story of chiropractic and know that we’ll be here if you need us. God bless you.
