Kinesiology... My Summary!

Kinesiology is a tool to gain greater insight about ourselves and its main purpose is to return our physical, emotional and mental well-being to homeostasis or balance. This is achieved through a mind-body-spirit connection or a psychosomatic link. For example, when we feel angry or stressed, especially for a long time, our muscles tense up and we may end up with a headache, stiff shoulders or even peptic ulcers. Conversely, a tensed muscle or lower back pain can direct us to an imbalance somewhere mentally or emotionally, other than the obvious physical fault. Using this principal, muscle testing allows stress or imbalances to be identified and released using a myriad of other tools. This range from Pathophysiology (Western Medicine); the Acupuncture system (Traditional Chinese Medicine); Colour, Sound, Light & Crystal therapy (Vibrational Medicine); the Chakra system (linked to Endocrinology); Homeopathy and Flower Essence therapy etc.



Being in homeostasis places us in a new space, away from the original cause of stress. This allows us clarity to re-evaluate where we are, how we are and where we want to be. It realigns our energies to focus on things that are important and prepares us to fulfill our true potential. For example, often if we’re fearful or anxious, our mind freezes and we’re unable to perform physically, mentally or emotionally. But if we remove the fear and anxiety, our actions would be more focused on what is required, hence achieving a more desired outcome. In the same way, when we feel loved, happy and contented, we are mentally, emotionally and physically healthier and feel we can achieve anything. Kinesiology is therefore a great adjunctive to our current health system as not all illnesses are the cause and effect of external pathogens or pollutants.
