What is Kinesiology?
Kinesiology blends principles of traditional oriental medicine and knowledge
about the body’s subtle energy systems with more modern western techniques (e.g.
muscle testing biofeedback, brain integration exercises) and has been developed
and adopted throughout the world.
Kinesiology is a holistic approach to maintaining and improving health. Health
and well-being depends on the balanced action of the chemical, physical and
psychological systems of the body. Kinesiology works to balance and integrate
these systems. Kinesiology restores the body’s energy balance, thus promoting
self-healing and well-being. It also promotes a better understanding of your own
health needs.
A kinesiologist determines energy imbalances by testing specific muscles
associated with specific acupuncture meridians. Muscle testing is a gentle,
non-intrusive way of determining energy imbalances or blocks in the body’s
energy system. Methods of correcting the imbalances vary according to a client’s
needs, but will often involve gentle massage or touch on reflex and acupuncture
points. Muscle testing also allows the practitioner to determine the cause of
physical and emotional problems and treat them appropriately. It provides a
method of detecting food sensitivities or nutritional deficiencies. The whole
process is called ‘balancing’ and may take between 1-2 hours.
Kinesiology can help people with a wide spectrum of health problems including
pain, IBS, arthritis, depression, allergies, ME, physical injuries, stress,
eating disorders, phobias, incontinence, anxiety, backache, PMT, post-traumatic
stress disorder - the list is endless.
Examples of applications of Kinesiology: -
Muscle pain is often caused by energy imbalance in muscles or acupuncture
Goal balancing releases the stress and energy blockages underlying such
problems. By clearing out this "excess baggage" we are able to pursue our goals,
free of unnecessary difficulties.
Emotional Stress Release.
A great deal of illness has its roots in emotional stress. Emotional Stress
Release is a gentle, simple, yet powerful way to deal with this problem. ESR can
clear energy blockages connected with past or present traumas, beliefs, negative
feelings and worries about the future.
Emotional Stress Release can be used by lay people at home, school and work. It
is a wonderful way to help people stay calm in distressing situations.
Environmental stresses and Food Sensitivities.
We react to things we eat and substances in the environment to a much greater
extent then is generally recognised. Often the foods we most enjoy and most
regularly eat can stimulate adverse reactions. These sensitivities interfere
with the body’s energies and can seriously affect our ability to heal ourselves.
The first step in dealing with this is to be aware of your intolerances. Muscle
testing can be used to give a clear and easily understood picture of the
problems. You can then take control of your diet and environment quickly and
confidently.
Learning Difficulties.
The left side of the brain deals with reasoning and logic, whilst the right side
provides creativity and visual awareness. When the two fail to co-operate,
problems can arise in co-ordination, reading, concentration and memory.
Educational Kinesiology is a whole person approach to learning difficulties. It
uses simple, safe exercises to encourage both sides of the brain to work
together, so that a person can function more effectively. Whilst this is very
helpful for children and adults with obvious learning blocks, it can help all of
us to reach our full potential.
