I am the joy of meeting Dr. Darren Weissman a few years ago, when he came to Philadelphia  from his home base of Chicago,to speak at a two day workshop with Gr<\/font>egg Braden<\/font> . This man glowed like no one I had ever known.  A gentle and powerful energy exuded from him and I was drawn to know more about the source behind it. He describes it as Infinite Love and Gratitude.  Simple and profound, as you will see when you read his words that folllow.<\/font><\/div>\n
<\/font> <\/div>\n
How do you live your bliss?  <\/font> <\/font><\/div>\n
I live my bliss through discovering and reclaiming my power through the subtle and sometimes extreme symptoms and stressors of life. I consciously connect with the power of Infinite Love & Gratitude as a means to transform reactive patterns in my body and life into active steps of living in my power. Upon awakening each morning for approximately 10 minutes, I consciously fill my body with thoughts of Infinite Love & Gratitude. I focus on different areas and functions of my physical body<\/span> and observe the shifts as I go from one part to then next. I then begin to send the vibration of Infinite Love & Gratitude to my wife and children, family and friends, and anyone else who randomly comes to my heart feeling the connection expand as my focus becomes clearer. Before leaving my bed to begin my day I make the statement, “Regardless of what comes my way today, I know that I will do my best to embrace each moment of this day with Infinite Love & Gratitude.” Then I drink a big glass of water, allow my body functions to do their business, and head out to play tennis with my best friend. That’s all before 6 am<\/span>. I consciously live what are called The Five Basics for Optimal Health<\/span> or the Essential Acts of Self-Love: Water, Food, Rest, Exercise, and Owning My Power. My days are filled with driving my kids to school, seeing clients, teaching, writing, quality time with my wife and kids, and sharing with others ways that they can reclaim their power. Rather than being tied to a specific schedule that dictates my every action, I like to go with the flow as I tend to thrive when I’m free to creatively move from moment to moment. I’m grateful and optimistic even though I’m a big feeler of my emotions. I look at life as an evolutionary journey offering me the opportunity of reclaiming my authentic power and nature to shine even in the most challenging of circumstances. Bliss is a natural by-product when I’m connected to my authentic nature.<\/font><\/div>\n
Can you please describe the Infinite Love and Gratitude concept and how it came to be?<\/font><\/div>\n
 <\/font><\/div>\n
The Infinite Love & Gratitude concept is an integrative philosophy, science, and technology called The LifeLine Technique. As a result of being a doctor of holistic medicine for the past 17 years I’ve had the opportunity to study many ancient and modern natural healing modalities. The pinnacle moment of awakening to Infinite Love & Gratitude was when my cousin Rob Morgan, who is the first deaf chiropractor to graduate from the Palmer College of Chiropractic<\/span> held his hand in the American Sign Language<\/span> hand mode of ‘I Love You.’ Not only did I feel a huge shift inside as he held his hand in this hand posture\/mudra, but I was able to observe an instant change in a muscle reflex test upon holding my hand in this posture and saying these words. Life is beautiful and gives us signs if we’re open enough to listen and receive. I soon became aware that simple affirmations, declarative statements, and observations through the lens of Infinite Love & Gratitude create shifts on the deepest of levels with both biological and behavioral functions<\/font><\/div>\n
. <\/font><\/div>\n
What benefits have you seen as a result of using it in your life, that of your family and those for whom you offer your services?<\/font><\/div>\n
 <\/font><\/div>\n
The changes have been epic. Ranging from personal shifts in my relationship with my wife Sarit that have enabled us to grow individually and as a couple. Last week we were in the emergency room for our youngest Liam as he had split open his lower lip. As a result of using what I know, his lip healed without ever needing stiches. Sarit is no longer allergic to our cat Izzy as I’m no longer allergic to anything (As a child I suffered with many food and environmental allergies). I’ve witnessed uterine fibroids<\/span> heal, warts, inflammatory bowel disease<\/span>, chronic headaches, addictions, endometriosis<\/span>, infertility, depression and bipolar, anxiety and panic attacks<\/span>, post-traumatic stress disorder<\/span>, chronic pain<\/span>, phantom pain<\/span>, and gangrene all heal. The truth is it doesn’t matter the name or diagnosis of a particular symptom when it comes to The LifeLine Technique. Each symptom, stress, and disease is a conversation stemming from reactive parts of the subconscious mind<\/span>. The LifeLine Technique combined with the vibration of Infinite Love & Gratitude guides the person to the root of where the symtom, stress, or disease is coming from while at the same time empowers the person through setting powerful and positive intentions to create a whole new attractor field for the mind, body, and spirit. The power that made the body heals the body, it happens no other way. It’s amazing however to witness the transformations that occur on a daily basis with the clients I personally work with, the students I’ve trained, but mostly with being a dad of three young kids and witness their beauty shine.<\/font><\/div>\n
 <\/font><\/div>\n
 <\/font><\/div>\n
And the Lifeline Technique goes far beyond your chiropractic work…can you elaborate on it?<\/font><\/div>\n
 <\/font><\/div>\n
The LifeLine Technique integrates Chinese medicine and the five elements<\/span>, Ayurvedic medicine and the chakras, shamanism, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Neuro-Emotional Technique, Eye Movement Desensitization<\/span> and Reprogramming, Color Therapy<\/span>, essential oils<\/span>, homeopathy<\/span>, sound therapy, holographic repatterning, epigenetics, and then some, all combined with a heart based process that uses The LifeLine Technique Flowchart (blueprint of the subconscious mind), observation, intention, declarative statements, affirmations, and portals. These are all integrated into a seamless process that tells the souls story from a subconscious perspective. Even as I write this, I realize that it doesnt’ express the essence of what it is, rather it’s a process that needs to be experienced to be fully understood and appreciated. All I can say is I’m so deeply humbled and grateful to be able to share and live with this consciousness.<\/font><\/div>\n
 <\/font><\/div>\n
How do you balance the personal and professional aspects of your life?<\/font><\/div>\n
 <\/font><\/div>\n
This is a work in progress, however the simple answer is one moment at a time. I’m a dedicated husband, father, friend, doctor, teacher, author, and human being. I am passionate about life and I do my best to authentically communicate my feelings in the moment so I’m able to flow from moment to moment. Many times this is much easier said than done, however I love the journey!<\/font><\/div>\n
