WHO CAN USE KINESIOLOGY?
HOW KINESIOLOGY WORKS
Kinesiology relies on muscle testing. You may not know, but, your body has an intricate bio-feedback system which can be analysed by testing your muscles. When the body is under stress, it is less capable of performing at optimum. This stress inhibits the electrical impulses which travel through the nerves between the brain and body and impairs normal muscle function. When this occurs the muscles reflect the stress in the central nervous system through specific "weak" muscle responses which a trained Kinesiologist can analyse to get vital information. For example If a food is OK when placed on the clients body, the muscle tests strong, if it is not OK the muscle tests weak. A trained Kinesiologist is able to detect changes in the way your body responds to different stimuli such as substances, giving us information about stress related to all kinds of things, such as nutritional deficiencies, old emotional trauma, limiting belief systems, environmental stressors and more as well as information as to how one might allieviate the stress.
Muscle testing is an incredible tool. It cut's through to the core of an issue very quickly and can access information about a clients wellbeing which may be otherwise very difficult to access, such as an unconscious emotion, a sabotage program or an excess of a particular food group being consumed. The Kinesiologist accompanies the client through a process of discovery, sifting through, revealing and diffusing those key stresses (chemical, physical or mental) which would otherwise stop them achieving their goals.
In the forefront of medicine it is now widely accepted that any dysfunction which has manifested is the result of stress. Through identifying and correcting stress the body becomes capable of doing what it is designed to do, and may heal itself.
Surprisingly, emotional stress not only effects the way you respond to the world, it also has a powerfully destructive effect on the body and is often related to the onset of real physical imbalances (read more HERE.)
