Healing, Life Energy, and Kinesiology

Introduction
The word, kinesiology, means different things to different people. The most common association with this word that I've come across, is with physical exercises and body gymnastics. That aspect of kinesiology is taught in the colleges and universities. For want of a better word, I'll refer to this as 'traditional kinesiology'. This one has very little or nothing to do with the detection and elimination of diseases and illnesses. Even within kinesiology itself there are branches and specialties. For instance, Applied Kinesiology (AK) is not the same as Specialized Kinesiology; Likewise, specialties like One Brain (aka Three-In-One Concepts) can differ significantly from AK. But all these specialties developed from AK. The various differences do not necessarily reflect disagreements, but rather the process of growth and expansion.

What is Kinesiology as a healing modality?
Kinesiology, as applied to healing, is a system that relies on the detection of energy imbalances in the body by simple muscle testing. Kinesiologists realize that energy imbalances in the body are the causes of physical and non physical illnesses; this is irrespective of what names are given to their bodily manifestations. A trained kinesiologist uses the muscle testing as a biofeedback mechanism to arrive at the causes of a client's health problems. He also uses same to find what specific energy balancing techniques will restore the patient to health.

How does this work, could you explain more?
Thousands of years ago, the Chinese and the Tibetans had realized that everything in nature owes its existence to the presence of life energy, or 'chi' in its system. This life force was discovered to flow around the body in channels which we call the 'meridians'. Now, each meridian has an organ and muscle association. Therefore, a disturbance in any of the body organs and functions would be mirrored in the relevant meridian and then reflected in relevant muscle when kinesiologically tested. We can now see that a kinesiology muscle assessment (or muscle testing as is popularly called), is not actually a test to see how strong or how weak a muscle is physically, but rather, an energy assessment technique of a far more profound nature.

How is balance restored to the person whose energy is blocked?
That depends very much on his findings. For instance, he could do simple non-invasive manipulations on energy points lying along the associated meridians on the physical body to stimulate energy flow and clear the blockages. He may also work on muscles associated with the meridians. Often, he might recommend nutritional support, or even life-style modifications if these are indicated.It all depends on his clinical findings. Referral to your family physician might be done if the cause is something that could be better handled by conventional medical treatment.

Can I continue to take my prescribed medications as well if I'm on Kinesiology treatment?
Yes. Never discontinue your medications except on the advice of your doctor. You should let him know that you are also receiving kinesiology care. The sad fact is that your physician may have no knowledge whatsoever as to what kinesiology and energy medicine are: Therefore, he might not be in a good position to advise you. In fact most conventional physicians will dismiss all forms of holistic management as hoax or quackery since their medical school training left them totally ignorant of the subtle energy interactions within the body. However, a growing number of western trained physicians are now beginning to embrace holistic healing so we can begin to see the situation changing for the better.

What health problems can kinesiology solve?
This is a rather tricky question to answer because, unlike conventional medicine where diseases are being treated (and this has led to a long list of various disease classifications) kinesiology does not treat any named illnesses or diseases. It treats the whole person (body-mind-spirit, if you like). That's why it is holistic. When the energy imbalances are corrected, then their outward manifestations (which constitute the named disease conditions) are eliminated. This makes a lot of sense you'll agree. However, for the purpose of communication only, we can say that nearly all disease conditions that are treatable by conventional medicine could be helped by kinesiology. In fact, some health problems that have defied conventional medicine do yield to kinesiology and other modalities of Vibrational medicine. The kinesiologist works on the energy realms to affect the physical, whereas the conventional physician works on the the physical realms to affect the energy level. Both are very essential for the restoration of harmony.

Just to be a little more specific, what non physical problems can you assist with kinesiology?
Kinesiology can be used for stress defusion and stress management; for allergies and food sensitivities elimination; elimination of fears, phobias, and anxiety. For getting rid of compulsive behaviors such as addictions, obsessions and other unwanted habits. An area where kinesiology is gaining recognition is in the correction of learning disabilities (or dyslexia), both in adults and children. It can also be used for the setting and the realization of goals relating to career, relationships, and business; this needs more advanced techniques though. Weight management is another area, and the success of this depends on the ability to access (using kinesiology) the core problems that led to the weight problems in the first place.

How long does it take for healing to occur with kinesiology treatment?
This is difficult to say as a lot depends on the nature of your health problems and how long you've been suffering. The degree to which you are willing to assume responsibility for you health (or ill health) is another crucial factor. Generally speaking, the more acute problems tend to clear up more rapidly, sometimes even on the very first visit. More lasting or chronic problems however, do take much longer. But it is not unusual to see problems that had persisted for years being resolved within a few weeks, or even days, after commencing kinesiology treatment. Clients sometimes watch in pleasant amazement when this happen. Note that most clients have been receiving other forms of therapy (without results) prior to going to see a kinesiologist.

Do I need to hold certain beliefs of a religious nature before kinesiology and other holistic health-care modalities work for me?
No. Kinesiology, while being holistic and drawing a lot especially from Eastern energy healing systems, does not require one to hold any belief system for it to work. In fact, most beneficiaries were disbelievers in its power to heal before they came for consultation. Others just tried it as a last resort. Kinesiology is non-religious. It only requires you to have the desire to get well, and to carry out whatever instructions the therapist has given you. That also translates to taking responsibility for one's health, and we've said that before. Note that because some of the instructions given to you by a therapist are usually very simple, many people tend to take them for granted and ignore them. You should try to carry out these instructions to derive maximum benefit from this form of therapy.
