Kinesiology - How does it work?

...By accessing the innate healing intelligence of your own body.

Kinesiology in its pure sense is a method of using manual muscle testing to obtain bio-feedback directly from the body. By using a light pressure to test muscle response, rather than muscle strength, one can gain information from your body that may not be easily obtained from your conscious mind.

Kinesiology, as a therapy, (i) uses muscle testing as a tool, (ii) is based on the premise that the body is designed to self-heal and (iii) works with energy systems such as Chinese acupuncture meridians, chakras, auric fields and the physical body itself. In health, these energies flow in balanced harmony. When you come under any kind of stress - physical, mental, emotional or spiritual - your energies may become unbalanced and adversely affect your ability to self-heal. As a result, you may experience dis-ease and a lack of wellbeing. Eventually, this dis-ease may manifest as a physical ailment.

The use of muscle testing in a kinesiology session allows the kinesiologist to determine, by "talking" directly to your body, where your energy is out of kilter, what stressors and emotions are causing the imbalances or blockages and what your body needs to restore balance. This is one of the great powers of kinesiology - it truly honours you as an individual. What comes up in a session pertains to you and no one else.

The corrections for an energy imbalance are varied, can be different for different people and range from the gentle stimulation of acupuncture points to the use of colour/light/sound/smells, use of herbs, nutrition, homeopathics, essences, specific movement, visualisation and sometimes, it's enough that you get an awareness of the emotional root cause of the issue and an understanding of how it has, and may still be, affecting you in order to be able to release it and move on.

Kinesiologists do not follow the western medical model - we don't diagnose based on the symptoms presented nor do we treat named diseases. Instead, we work towards (i) balancing your energies to positive goals and (ii) releasing any stresses that are stopping you from achieving those goals. Then, like magic, things just change...
