Functional Symmetry is a system that was organized by Dr. John Shere, a mind-body practitioner and trained chiropractor for over 45 years. With a sincere intent to discover the causal influences that result in a system imbalance or symptom, Dr. Shere studied with many teachers over many years in over 50 alternative healing systems in order to find out more about ‘the way we work’ and how best to assist a mind-body system to function with more balance.

In addition to learning from other teachers, Dr. Shere learned from and was inspired by something that we can refer to as the ‘field of life’: a field of information about ‘the way we work’ that is in and around us all the time.

This ‘field’ contains information about how our bodies and minds are innately designed to function and how best to live in a more balanced state.

Though all aspects of Functional Symmetry come from that field of information, some aspects have come via other teachers of Dr. Shere’s who were receptive to that field and some aspects have solely come as a result of Dr. Shere’s own receptivity.
