Improving Health and through Kinesiology and Alternative Medicine

By Michelle Soo

People sometimes say to me: "Kinesiology? That's muscletesting isn't it?"

I often laugh and say "It is, and it isn't. It'sthat, and so much more."

A natural therapy that originated in the 1960s, Kinesiology hasbrought life changing benefits to those experiencing depression, stress,anxiety, nervous tension, excessive worry, learning difficulties -and on a more physical level: pain, migraines, muscular disorders,nervous system disorders, immune system deficiencies, hormonalimbalances, digestive disorders (like Irritable Bowel Syndrome),allergies, women's health, and candida infections.

Kinesiology uses gentle muscle testing to gather information aboutyour state of wellbeing, and about the stress and dis-ease in yoursystem. To do so, it relies on the bio-feedback mechanisms between your muscles and your central nervous system. This is only one of manyqualities that makes it a unique alternative health therapy.

Kinesioloogy is unique also because it creates, and honours, thespace for your own body & spirit to direct the course of treatment.Using muscle testing, your practitioner "communicates" withyour bio-systems; exploring the underlying cause of your health issue.In this way, your practitioner can create a health solution for you thatis uniquely your own.

The change you are looking for might be a physical one, or anemotional one. In either case, Kinesiology is particularly effective forthose wishing to change a certain area of their life.

For example, one of my clients wanted to increase her confidence insocial situations. After just one session, she found herself immediatelyexperiencing a greater sense of ease, comfort and confidence in talkingwith others. In subsequent sessions, she found herself experiencing agreater sense of ease in just being herself. She also experienced thefeeling of wholeness, of being connected with her heart and her soul.She felt that her life had been enriched on a deeper level, that she washappy and well.

Kinesiology is effective because it gives you an understanding ofhow your behaviour, attitudes and world views are based on core beliefsand deep patterns - which you may not question or even know youhave. With the client I've just mentioned, her core issues wereabout connecting and listening to her heart, so that she could engagewith others ways that were more meaningful and fulfilling for her.

Kinesiology enables you to see these core beliefs and deep patterns,and challenge them so that you can change your life significantly andpositively - in the way that you want.

A good kinesiologist will also create a space for you to recognisehow you can be empowered, how you can actually make the changes that youwant. This is a lot easier than if you were just struggling with ityourself.

If you have a physical health issue, Kinesiology gives you anunderstanding of the emotional, nutritional and energetic factors thatunderly the physical factors of your dis-ease (whether it is your immunesystem or your nervous system). This enables you to move faster towardsa healing.

How can your kinesiologist do all this? How can Kinesiology havesuch broad ranging success?

First of all, Kinesiology does not heal you. Your Kinesiologistsimply facilitates a journey for you, in which you heal yourself. YourKinesiologist restores and re-connects you with your body andmind's innate ability to find balance, homeostasis. The idea ofyour self-healing potential can be found in ancient Western &Eastern medical traditions - ranging from Hippocrates to the NeiJing.

Secondly, Kinesiologists are trained in a wide range of modalitiesincluding:

- anatomy, physiology, biochemistry - counselling & psychology- chinese medicine psycho-spirituality - flower essences - esoteric sciences (chakra system, bio-field or auric systems).

This training equips them with many strategies for dealing with yourhealth and wellbeing issue.
