Australia’s ‘Miracle Man’ Celebrates 21 years
Author: Dr. John Hinwood
MEDIA ALERT
18 March 2009
Visit: www.expectamiracle.com
Dr John Hinwood speaks at Perth this Friday, 20 March, about Developing Relationships Based Practice to Doctors of Chiropractic.
For the past 21 years Australian chiropractor and author, Dr John Hinwood has been handing out a small white card to almost everyone he has met.
The card has just three words written on it: “Expect a Miracle”. Last Christmas marked the 21st anniversary of his crusade. He estimates he has handed out almost 70,000 cards.
The 62-year-old’s crusade to change people’s lives comes from observations through his chiropractic practice and coaching business that people go through life expecting the worst, create what they believe and miss out on opportunities.
He believes at least 70% of people’s healing comes from the placebo effect. The simple act of handing out a little card with EXPECT A MIRACLE written on it helps release endorphins in those who receive it.
“Henry David Thoreau said most people lead lives of quiet desperation. They want more from life but don’t know how to get it. People need to believe they are worthy of a miracle and that miracles large and small can happen to any one of us at any time,” says Dr Hinwood.
John and wife, Judy were awarded the International Humanitarian Award from the prestigious Parker Seminars of Dallas, Texas USA this year. Judy is also a chiropractor and the Hinwoods live in NSW but speak throughout the world.
.
The Australian edition of John’s book, You Can Expect A Miracle has just been released. In it are chronicled extraordinary, believe-it-or-not miracles that those who have received his cards have experienced.
He is a great example of the power of miracles. Suffering from dyslexia as a child he was told that the best he should aspire to was a job as a postal clerk. He overcame his learning difficulties, won a scholarship, completed a Doctor of Chiropractic and went on to establish one of Australia’s most successful chiropractic practices.
In his personal life he adopted three older illiterate children from Chile in 1985. The children are all in 30s now and 1998 the Hinwoods returned to Chile and found their biological family including their separated parents.

For eight years he was President of the Australian Spinal Research Foundation and is now a Fellow of The Australian Institute of Management, one of few health professionals to gain the distinction. He is widely published in academic journals and was once captain/coach of the Danish national rugby team.
Dr Hinwood’s own experience with miracles include a dramatic escape from a gun pointing hijacker in the Congo and weeks later from a freak blizzard near the summit of Mt Kilimanjaro.

Life begins and ends with miracles
Author: Dr. John Hinwood
Media release
Australian chiropractor Dr John Hinwood has an unusual way of changing people’s lives.
For the past 21 years the 62-year-old Casuarina Beach (NSW) resident has been handing out a small white card to almost everyone he has met. The card has just three words written on it: “Expect a Miracle”
Dr Hinwood’s story is similar to that of Arthur Stace, a recovering alcoholic and born-again Christian who spent 40 years writing the word “Eternity” all over the streets of Sydney to prompt people to think about eternity and their own mortality.
The difference is Dr Hinwood is prompting people to think about their own miracles; the small seemingly insignificant events and moments in people’s lives that open the doors to a sense of wonderment and opportunity.
Last Christmas marked the 21st anniversary of his crusade. He estimates he has handed out almost 70,000 cards to people from all over the world. Dr Hinwood is an international speaker and regularly presents to chiropractors and other practitioners all over the world on the importance of love, care and compassion in the healing process.
He once stood in the foyer of the Las Vegas Hilton Hotel acting as a “love magnet” and handing out Expect a Miracle cards which instantly saw a large queue form, before security moved him on.
Dr Hinwood has lived his own personal miracle. He suffered dyslexia as a child but overcame his learning difficulties, won a scholarship, completed a Doctor of Chiropractic and established a successful chiropractic practice.
He adopted three older illiterate children from Chile in 1985. In 1998 the Hinwood family returned to Chile and found their kids’ biological parents.
Last year Dr Hinwood and chiropractor wife, Judy were awarded the International Humanitarian Award from the Parker Seminars of Dallas, Texas USA for their “unselfishly helping others around the world”.
The Australian edition of Dr Hinwood’s book, You Can Expect A Miracle has just been released. In it are chronicled extraordinary, believe-it-or-not miracles experienced by those who have received his cards.
“Henry David Thoreau said most people lead lives of quiet desperation. People need to believe they are worthy of a miracle because that thought alone can change a life,” says Dr Hinwood.

The miracle of endorphins
Author: Dr. John Hinwood
Media release
7 February 2009
Visit: www.expectamiracle.com
Endorphins are the chemicals produced naturally by the body that decrease stress hormones.
They are the body’s natural feel good chemicals, and when they are released through exercise, your mood is boosted naturally.
During exercise, these endorphins are released, and this can produce feelings of euphoria and a general state of wellbeing. The endorphins produced can be so powerful that they actually mask pain.
Physically active people recover from mild depression more quickly and physical activity is strongly correlated with good mental health as people age.
Smiling and laughter are also activities that produce the release of endorphins in the body. A movie, a good joke, a book with fun stories or leading a life where you smile a lot produces a good supply of endorphins that enhance your health.
Australian Chiropractor, Dr John Hinwood, is a strong supporter of the power of the body’s natural capacity to heal itself.
For the past 21 years Dr Hinwood has been on a mission to educate everyone he meets about the power of expectation around mental, emotional, spiritual and physical health.
The thinking goes like this: most of us in our various lives are conditioned to expect the worst but the simple of act of expecting the best (a miracle) can be enough to turn around the lives of people for the better.
John has a unique way of communicating his message. For the past 21 years he has been handing out a small white card to just about everyone he meets. The card has just three words written on it: “Expect a Miracle”
Last Christmas marked the 21st anniversary of his crusade. He estimates he has handed out almost 70,000 cards.
John is a crusader for a better life for people. He believes that most people are not aware of the opportunities in their lives.
John and wife, Judy were awarded the International Humanitarian Award from the prestigious Parker Seminars of Dallas, Texas USA last year. Judy is also a chiropractor and the Hinwoods live at Casuarina Beach near the NSW/Queensland border.
“I have witnessed great changes in people after they receive this card. The words alone put people in a state of expecting the best and they start to notice small miracles such as their baby smiling or a friendly gesture by a complete stranger,” said John.
“It has been scientifically proven that the power of intention can and does change lives. The key is to have good and big intentions. Everyone should expect a miracle every day.”
The Australian edition of John’s book, You Can Expect A Miracle has just been released. In it are chronicled extraordinary, believe-it-or-not miracles that those who have received his cards have experienced. The book was released in the United States in September and is receiving rave reviews on Amazon.com
John is a great example of the power of miracles. He was a bad stutterer and also suffered from dyslexia as a child he and his parents were told by school guidance officers that the best he should aspire to was a job as a postal clerk. He overcame his learning difficulties, won a scholarship to study physical education at Sydney Teachers’ College, completed a Doctor of Chiropractic Degree and went on to establish one of Australia’s most successful chiropractic practices.
In his personal life he and Judy adopted three older illiterate and emotionally damaged children from Chile in 1985. The children are all in 30s now and leading wonderful lives. In 1998 the Hinwoods returned to Chile and helped their kids find their biological family including their separated parents.
For eight years he was President of the Australian Spinal Research Foundation, and is a Fellow of the International College of Chiropractors, a Fellow of the Australasian College of Chiropractors and a Fellow of The Australian Institute of Management, one of few health professionals to gain the distinction. He has had papers published academic journals and was once captain/coach of the Danish National Rugby Team.
The 62-year-old’s crusade to change peoples’ lives comes from his many observations through his practice and mentoring and coaching business that people go through life expecting the worst, create what they believe and miss out on wonderful opportunities.
“Henry David Thoreau said most people lead lives of quiet desperation. They want more from life but don’t know how to get it. People need to believe they are worthy of a miracle and that miracles large and small can happen to any one of us at any time,” says Dr Hinwood.
Dr Hinwood’s own experience with miracles include a dramatic escape from a gun pointing hijacker in the Congo and weeks later from a freak blizzard near the summit of Mt Kilimanjaro.
Types of Exercise to Release Endorphins
The best type of exercise for improving your mood is cardiovascular exercises and aerobics. This is because vigorous exercise helps to release the chemicals necessary for the mood-raising high. Yoga and Pilates are also great as it reduces tension and stress while improving the mood. It focuses on stretching, breathing, and motion that release negative emotions in the body.
How long do you need to Exercise to Feel the Benefit?
Even if you only exercise for a short period of time, your mood will be improved. Just ten minutes of moderate exercise is enough to improve your mood, your vigour and also decrease fatigue. However, to obtain all the benefits from exercise, not just the mood improving aspects, you should do at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise every day.

Australia’s Miracle Man Celebrates 21 years
Author: Dr. John Hinwood
Media Release
18 November 2008
Chiropractor Dr John Hinwood has been giving out a small white card to almost everyone he has met over the last 21 years.
This Christmas he celebrates 21st anniversary of his crusade and he estimates he has personally handed out almost 60,000 cards. The cards have just three words written on them: “Expect a Miracle”
Dr Hinwood is about to the release an Australian edition of his book, You Can Expect A Miracle in which he chronicles real life miracles and gives readers 13 tips for creating a miracle in their own lives. The book was released in the US in September and receiving rave reviews on Amazon.com
The 62-year-old’s crusade to change people’s lives is grounded in the belief that that too many people go through life expecting the worst and miss so many brilliant positive and healing opportunities.
In his chiropractic practice and personal development coaching and mentoring business, Dr Hinwood has found that when people expect something good there’s a fair chance that they’ll get it.
He knows it works because he’s had personal experiences of miracles happening.
“In 1972 we were hijacked in the Congo at gun point and a miracle kept us alive. Several weeks later, nearing the summit of Mt Kilimanjaro we were trapped in a freak blizzard wearing only light clothing. Instead of being frozen to death, a miracle event saved us until the blizzard passed”, he says.
Dr Hinwood says he has heard of and seen thousands of miracles. “It’s amazing. Once you start to champion something, you become a magnet for it. People find you just to share the miracles that have happened to them”.
Dr Hinwood is a regular presenter on the international speaking circuit.

You Can… Expect a Miracle! Book Reviews

Reviews From Amazon “You Can Expect A Miracle” Book  A Great Inspirational Read!, September 16, 2008
Read the book front to back in one sitting. Couldn’t put it down! Explains how YOU can “expect a miracle” and how Dr Hinwood and “friends” have had these miracles (big and small). Get the book, read it and expect your own miracles! Transformational book…great stuff!, November 4, 2008
It has been said that our attitude determines our altitude. Thank you Dr. Hinwood for this transformational book which reaffirms the necessity to direct our thoughts towards positive expection for maximum success and fulfillment (in every area). Great stuff!
Miracle workers are everywhere…, November 3, 2008
I have so enjoyed all of the stories of miracle workers!!! Especially the stories from Gilles Lamarche about “the Power that made the body heals the body”, the Mad dogs and Cowboys from John Demartini that “no one can take away one’s love or wisdom and not to judge a book by the cover”, the “power the belief of a parent brings to a lifetime” from Ely Lazar, always seeing the “silver lining” in any situation delivered to us by Scott Schilling, and the wonderful messages John & Judy Hinwood bring to all of us with their countless stories about miracles. Especially John Hinwood’s story about those who have been butchered by an inappropriate health care practitioner (doctor or therapist of any sort!), with his message that there are still many wonderful, caring, real and true helpers of society out there! You Can… Expect a Miracle!
This book is a gem!, November 4, 2008
What makes this book so great is that all the people that wrote of their experiences are co-creators of this book. While Dr John Hinwood created the idea and contributes with a number of stories, it is the varied experiences shared by all the contributors that makes this book so inspiring. The book is broken up into themes ranging from Miracles of Attitude to Miracles of Family, to Miracles of Health. Most of the stories have inspiring quotes at the end ranging from people such as Benjamin Franklin to Arthur Ashe to Leonardo Da Vinci. Some the stories are humorous such as”The Fickle Finger of Fate” by Dr John Hinwood, about his experience with an immigration office at LAX. Others are deadly serious such as “Space Invaders” by Dr Keith Livingstone, about his battle with a brain tumor. In fact, this I found most inspiring. The theme that comes through and through is that Miracles are Normal and occur all around us if we take the time to look for them and appreciate them.
The Hinwoods’ live an outpoured life, October 29, 2008
We are so often shaped by the people we meet and the books we read. Sometimes we meet the people via their books. In the decades I have known Drs John and Judy Hinwood, they have always lived selflessly (sometimes to their cost). When faced with adversity themselves or in others, their relentless generosity of spirit shines through, and now this little tome of encouragement and inspiration will carry their message to so many who don’t get to meet them face to face, but will benefit from getting to know them and the miracles message.
Little ripper!, September 20, 2008
This is a more than slightly biased review as I am the wife of one of the contributors and have known the author for years! This is an “easy read” before bed, and the stories are all true. In a nutshell- Dr John’s principle of concentrating only on ultimate expectation has helped me and my husband through an extremely difficult year where he has thrived/survived a “terminal” brain tumour and 2 neuro-surgeries while writing and publishing his own book on training for middle distance. In this time we have gone from being financially crippled, helpless and hopeless at the time of collapse to now being financially independent and comfortably well off, with Keith’s book being released next month on Amazon (Healthy Intelligent Training). This financial miracle required Keith to be written off for life insurance purposes, but hey, he’s still here and kicking and expecting to continue, God willing. We just did as the book said and plastered John’s unique “Expect a Miracle” cards (they’re in the book) everywhere around the house, and bothered God an awful lot! (We’re supposed to you know!). An easy read, and like anything, if you JUST DO IT your life might change forever!
