Is Kinesiology Right for Me?

RE: Is Kinesiology Right for Me?

Hi E,

What a distressing set of symptoms you are dealing with right now.
I would put forward the suggestion of a chiropractor. I've had tinnitus / dizziness for several years and after 2 treatments, walked out of the room with silent ears for the first time in about 10-15 years - woohoo!
It is back now, but at a MUCH more manageable level and the dizziness has all but subsided - it flares up again if I am stressed, so it kind of serves as a warning to me now to ease up and say No a little more often!

If you feel that the label of 'hypochondriac' is stopping you from going back to your GP, I would suggest you change your GP. S/he is there to provide you with a service, not label you because THEY can't find the root of your symptoms.

You have already highlighted three areas that you could improve - diet, exercise and weight control, so why not start work on these straight away?
I don't understand why these areas cost lots of money to work on, perhaps I misread or misunderstood your post. I work as a kinesiologist, and specialise in 'diagnosing' (forgive the terrible word, but I'm tired tonight) food intolerances.
In all cases I work with the client getting them to improve their diet rather than resort to lots of expensive supplements.
It is easy to create your own diet and fitness regime; you don't need expensive equipment to walk everyday or to change your diet - you just need a little knowledge which is readily available on the internet, through forums such as this one or at the library and some willpower to 'be the change'.

Your attacks could be due to many things, but improving the three areas you highlight can do you noting but good.

Another route you might consider is NLP.

So many choices!

Best to you,

Hi

As kinesiologyuses muscle-testingto access your body's internal bio-computer to demonstrate to you how your body is responding when in contact with various potential stressors, be they environmental, emotional or mental, a session with a kinesiologist would have the potential to show you what might be contributing to these symptoms.

There is more than one type of kinesiology available in the UK. Perhaps the best thing for you to do would be to visit the Kinesiology Federation website and find a kinesiologist who is close to you and speak to them so that you can find out how they work and if that feels right to you. With kinesiology it is important to find a kinesiologist who you feel will listen to you and be able to understand what is going on.

Hi there

You poor man. I really sympathise. I have been through various medical hiccups over the past years, and I often find doctors are the least sympathetic. However, I do think you should try and get a second opinion from at least one more doctor - until you find out exactly what it is, the acupuncture etc.can only addressyour immediate symptoms, rather than the cause. I find the best thing to do with doctors is to persevere - ask them for thyroid tests, to see a chiropractor etc. I certainly think a set of blood tests wouldn't go amiss. Too often serioushealth problems slip by unnoticed by a GP, so it's worth trying another, or re-visting your existing one - I wouldn't worry about being seen to be a hypocondriac. It's your health on the line, not theirs. In addition I think seeing a kinesology may help, and I think you should follow the advice of the previous respondent, and phone the kinesology body for advice first. Lastly, don't worry - when I've been in the throws of some sort of health dilemma it is always v. depressing and hard to gain perspective - but I can assure you that you will get better, and you won't be facing a lifetime of suffering- sometimes our bodies just needtime to heal, it's amazing how my body has always found it's way back to it's own equilibrium. Hope all this helps. x

As elliet said there are many branches of kinesiology and finding the appropriate practitioner for you is an important part of the therapeutic process.

I think what kinesiology offers is a partnership where you and the practitioner can work together to discover the underlying causes of your symptoms and then identify the triggers to healing.

Good luck with your journey.

RE: Is Kinesiology Right for Me?

Update:

Had my first kinesiology session yesterday. It was amazing!

I rang round a few local practitioners and decided on a lovely lady who actually persisted to return my call maybe 3 or 4 times when i couldn't answer, took time to explain to me over phonewhat she was about and how she would be able to help me, and even really endevoured to fit me in when my first appointment clashed with a dentist one.

and the result - it's mostly dietry! sensitivity to certain groups, and the fact that my blood sugars are zig-zagging dramatically. i'm also not very grounded!

it was so helpful to have someone sit with me and talk me through examples of a healthy diet -according to my lifestyle!! we worked on diet and i was given some tincture droplets as we went along, and then we worked on grounding me.

i actually felt "normal" again when the session was over and panicked at first because it felt so abnormal to me!

i can honestly say i am amazed and confident with a couple more sessions and persistence - this will no longer be an issue for me.

best money i ever spent!

RE: Is Kinesiology Right for Me?

Heya E

Really glad you enjoyed your treatment. I've only just trained in kinesiology and am wowed by some of the things you can pick up, just by even a couple of muscle tests. It sounds like you've chosen a really good kinesiologist too, who is patient and responsive, best type of therapist you can get.

Are you now taking supplements, cutting out certain food types and have some homework to do? Love to hear how you're getting on as treatments progress - the positive changes can be quite profound!

RE: Is Kinesiology Right for Me?

Fabulous news, E,

Thanks for sharing with us and I hope you will continue to tell us about your progress. I've been doing kinesiology for over 10 years now, but every appointment feels like my first because I am still blown away by it all!
I tested a friend by proxy who is in America the other day - now there's a whole 'nother story 😉

I'm so pleased you feel confident that this is to be a short term 'blip' in your life. And delighted that you feel it was money well spent.

RE: Is Kinesiology Right for Me?

I'm intrigued - how does one test by proxy - I have head of a surrogate but you are still doing the testing and in control. Who is testing at the other end then?????

RE: Is Kinesiology Right for Me?

Hi Pathfinder,
It is similar in set up to surrogate testing - you use someone else to test the absent person.

RE: Is Kinesiology Right for Me?

Oh - so would this person have to know what they are doing? Does your type of Kinesiology use a maget to see if the muscle is hypertonic? Just wondered if the person the other end needed any kind of training.

[Sorry meant to bookmark this page - just using this box to do it] I'm off now - hee hee

RE: Is Kinesiology Right for Me?

Hi pathfinder,

Well, I guess it is limited by belief alone. I think of proxy kinesiology as I do sending distant reiki, you know?

When you ask

ORIGINAL: Pathfinder

Oh - so would this person have to know what they are doing?

which person do you mean? The surrogate I am testing or the person who the tests are being done for ?

Does your type of Kinesiology use a maget to see if the muscle is hypertonic?

I've never heard of that - can you explain that to me please? I love learning new things about kinesiology!

Just wondered if the person the other end needed any kind of training.

no. The person the other end doesn't need to 'know' anything as it were. I treat them as I do someone who is visiting me for the first time - they don't need to know anything to benefit from a successful treatment.,

I hope some of this makes sense - I feel like I am not being terribly helpful!

RE: Is Kinesiology Right for Me?

So how are you testing the muscles -by questions and using the indicator as a sort of dowser?

The type of kinesiology I have been taught tests many muscles 24 on the foundation course and another 24 on the intermediate course. In order to test a muscle it needs to contract when challenged (not with a question) i.e. you would get the subject to resist against whatever movement you were trying to do, but equally the same muscle needs to relax when faced with the north side of a magnet. If the muscle does this it is a strong indicator muscle for testing that meridian. If it stays contracted it is hypertonic and equally a stressed muscle and needs correction before it can indicate any other needs for that particular meridian.

If you are asking yes or no questions on an arm muscle for instance, how can you be sure the muscle is a SIM (strong indicator muscle) and working correctly.

RE: Is Kinesiology Right for Me?

Just re-read youranswers: think I may be making sense of it now.

You are using a surrogate this end for a client abroad say. But how is the connection made.

My tutor used me as a surrogate for somebody in our class on the course. She was attached to me as say a paperclip would attach to a maget thus demonstrating how energy travels. When she tested me my muscles which were strong 'in the clear' before went weak when this girl was attached to me. Also when the remedial work was done on the neuro lymphatics I could feel her discomfort for that particular organ being tested. When she unattached herself from me there was no discomfort. It was amazing.

RE: Is Kinesiology Right for Me?

Hi again Pathfinder,

ORIGINAL: Pathfinder

So how are you testing the muscles -by questions and using the indicator as a sort of dowser?

I use only the stomach, gall bladder and spleen positions, since I am testing specifically for food intolerances and any mineral / vitamin deficiencies. Instead of asking questions as such, I put the food that is being tested on the person's navel. If I were doing surrogate testing, the person being tested would be holding the food, In the case of proxy testing, I put the substance on the person on the couch and we set up an intent that the testing is not for the person on the couch, but for the absent one.

The type of kinesiology I have been taught tests many muscles 24 on the foundation course and another 24 on the intermediate course.

you're doing touch for health? or some other type of kinesiology?

In order to test a muscle it needs to contract when challenged (not with a question) i.e. you would get the subject to resist against whatever movement you were trying to do, but equally the same muscle needs to relax when faced with the north side of a magnet. If the muscle does this it is a strong indicator muscle for testing that meridian. If it stays contracted it is hypertonic and equally a stressed muscle and needs correction before it can indicate any other needs for that particular meridian.

Oh right. I'm not doing anything as near complex as that! I've never used magnets with kinesiology before. That sounds interesting.

If you are asking yes or no questions on an arm muscle for instance, how can you be sure the muscle is a SIM (strong indicator muscle) and working correctly.

Hmmmm. Ok, now I know why I am finding it hard to explain things to you. YOu know how when you have been driving for so long, you no longer drive as if you would for a driving test - you just feel ok with your arm on the gearstick all the time and don't need both hands on the wheel?
Well, I guess I've gotten to the stage with kinesiology where my intuition kicks in and much of what I do I can almost 'pre empt' before it actually happens.
So, I can tell just by testing one muscle whether a person is suitable and 'switched on' for testing or not and I guess years of practise have made it that I can pretty much figure out straight away what they need in order to be balanced - water, neuro-vascular holding points, meridian tracing etc.

It is a bit 'wishy washy' for those with a very scientific mind I guess and tbh, I'd be useless now at actually explaining or teaching anyone because I just intuit so much of it and I've forgotten what I'm doing, the terminology or why I do it.

I guess, as they say, the proof of the pudding is in the eating LOL!

intent. Just like I would with distant healing,

Your story about the surrogate testing was very cool. In a smiliar vein, with this woman I tested the other day. I used my husband as 'the body' - he knew nothing about the woman, just that I was testing her foods.
On one of them, he asked me to take it off - as soon as he was in contact with it, he said he had an overwhelming sadness that made him fill up and want to cry; he actually had tears in his eyes..........

The woman being tested is suffering from depression and crying fits.

We were all totally blown away by it as you can imagine 🙂
