We were lucky to catch up with Jay Uecker recently and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Jay, thanks for joining us today. Was there a defining moment in your professional career? A moment that changed the trajectory of your career?

The foundation for my work is an energetically oriented chiropractic technique called Network Spinal Analysis. There’s a protocol to that technique. After seeing thousands of people over the course of 10 years, my intuition would kick in while working with folks and I’d feel compelled to take certain contacts during a session. However, I wasn’t sure where these urgings fit into the technique protocol.

About that time I was coming to a choice point in my own healing journey. I was being called to take more responsibility for personal evolution. A mentor and teacher of mine introduced me to mindfulness meditation. He also would help practitioners like myself foster greater presence while working with clients. During a practice session he instructed me to “watch the river of chi.” When he said those words it was like my soul had been waiting to hear them. A light switched on in me and I was like, “I know exactly how to do that.” The river of chi was the thing that had been compelling me to work in a certain way with clients.

When I started following the river of chi, I became much more able to support people to deepen into their experience. The changes that clients experienced were more profound and it was more fun for me.

Jay, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

Like a lot of healers, my journey started when I was young. I lived on a farm in Nebraska and I crashed an ATV on myself. I was lucky I walked away. I started to experience all sorts of strange musculoskeletal issues in the weeks that followed that accident. In a rather progressive move my dad took me to see a chiropractor.

This chiropractor was a conventional chiropractor. I would lie on a table and he would adjust my spine, eliciting loud pops and cracks. These adjustments left me with a scintillating ease in my body. Under his care my body started to work better and feel better. Not only did the musculoskeletal issues go away but the headaches I’d often had started to go away, as well as the bronchial infections I would often get. I didn’t know those things weren’t normal until they started to go away.

I had always had the sense that the body has the ability to heal itself. These sessions to the chiropractor seemed to confirm and amplify that knowing. It was then that I thought, “Maybe I’ll be a chiropractor someday.”

While I was in chiropractic school I was under the care of some conventional chiropractors. However, I still had occasional bouts of really bad back pain. Here I was, nearing the end of my schooling and I thought I was supposed to be someone who helped people get out of pain. Yet, here I was in pain myself. I started looking at other things to help me solve the problem of this back pain. I discovered a woman who practiced Network Spinal Analysis, a gentle, energetic form of chiropractic. At first I thought it was complete voodoo. After a handful of visits, however, it became apparent that something was happening. My breath would change spontaneously and I’d find myself breathing deeply on the table and/or at random moments in my life. Tension would seem to move around in my body. After about 15 sessions I left the office after a session and I felt 300 pounds lighter. The sky was alive in a way I hadn’t remembered it being alive. The trees were more vividly green than I recall them being. I had this amazing feeling moving through my body that was prompting me to think about all positive possibilities that existed in my life. Looking back I recognize that feeling as gratitude. At the time, however, I wasn’t sure what it was. I became aware of the fact that if I was having trouble in my life it was largely of my own making. In addition to this veil being removed from my eyes, my low back pain changed drastically for the better. This experience was amazing and I wanted to share it with others. So I started studying Network Spinal Analysis.

Since then my work has evolved and, though Network Spinal Analysis is the foundation for what I do, I now call my work BioSoul Integration. I believe that we’re here to embody and integrate our soul’s essence into our physical bodies so that we can share our soul’s gifts through our physical bodies onto this physical plane. I believe that what my work is doing is integrating body and soul—hence BioSoul Integration.

A mentor and teacher of mine, Dr. Donald Epstein, has said that if you’re not living your purpose on the planet, it’s supposed to hurt, and nothing is supposed to take that pain away. In my experience this is true. I think a lot of the symptoms that people experience in their bodies and lives are their bodies and lives conspiring to nudge them toward their evolution. When people can connect with their soul and integrate that energy, often the pain or problem they were facing goes away. If it does, it’s because the energy associated with the pain or the problem was integrated, not because anything was taken away.
As that energy is liberated it compels people to make changes from the inside out. So it’s not that I’m doing it for them. The important thing is that clients comes into contact with the internal resources to make changes themselves.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

There are many times when my practice seemed to be failing. I would start to focus on the lack until I could only see lack. Eventually I’d come to a place where I’d wonder if I wasn’t supposed to being doing something else. I would always consider doing other things. And then I’d always realize that no matter what I was doing I would have to do my work, too. It would be at that point that I’d have to turn my own thinking around and start focusing on gratitude. And when I started focusing on gratitude, amazingly, things would turn around. This is a lesson I’ve learned many times over. I’ve been practicing for 20 years now.

If you could go back in time, do you think you would have chosen a different profession or specialty?

To be honest I don’t think so. I’ve always followed a thread that was a combination of what I was interested in and in what direction life was nudging me. I feel like I’m doing what I was put here to do.
