About Kinesiology

Kinesiology is a system of natural health care which combines muscle monitoring with the principles of Chinese medicine to assess energy and body function, applying a range of gentle, yet powerful healing techniques to improve health, wellbeing and vitality.

A fundamental premise of Kinesiology is that the body has innate healing energy and is at all times doing its best to care for itself, but that sometimes it needs to be helped into a better position to achieve this care.

Kinesiology recognises that there are flows of energy within the body that relate not only to the muscles but to every tissue and organ that go to make the body a living, feeling being. These energy flows can be evaluated by testing the function of the muscles, which in turn reflect the body's overall state of structural, chemical, or emotional balance.

In this way, Kinesiology taps into energies that the more conventional modalities overlook. Kinesiology looks beyond the symptoms. Kinesiology does not treat named diseases. Nor does it diagnose them. Kinesiology is concerned with imbalances in the body's energy. In this respect, Kinesiology has close links with the acupuncture concept of energy flow.

I work with a lot of clients who need a boost to their self-esteem, but they don’t always realise at first that this is the issue that needs working on. A lot of the time they come in for things like fatigue or depression and know that their self-esteem isn’t great, but are unsure as to how to improve it, and how it is linked to their initial issue.

Self-esteem can be defined as "A belief and confidence in your own ability and value" – Cambridge Dictionaries.

Generally our core self beliefs are learned from our family. This occurs through our interaction and growth and often both consciously and subconsciously. However as we mature and develop, some of these beliefs may no longer be in your best interest. Also as your own family unit starts to grow you become the teacher! So what core self beliefs no longer suit you? Can you identify the intrinsic self beliefs that hinder your success and self worth? The power is in the knowing. You can then change or alter them for your current situation and kinesiology can help you do this.

With this in mind, a person with low self-esteem will have difficulty following through with their goals. If you don’t believe in your ability or value, you won’t have the confidence to achieve much. Is this you?

Sometimes you get very close to achieving a goal and then react out of fear and ruin it for yourself, possibly through not believing that you deserve to feel good about yourself. This is referred to as ‘self-sabotage’. The next unhelpful thought comes… ‘See I knew I was no good at that’ (we love being right), and so the negative belief continues.

The big problem here is that you will never believe in yourself if you don’t take the opportunity to prove yourself wrong. Just like a child who needs some encouraging to try new things, adults too must continually be growing through fears (not hiding from them).

Do you have any of the following symptoms of low self-esteem?

• depression / anxiety
• low energy / drained by people
• people pleasing
• lack of confidence
• feeling not good enough
• unable to follow through with goals
• self-conscious in social situations
• unhappy in job, relationship, living situation etc
• unhappy with appearance
• substance abuse
• feeling guilty
• feeling regretful or judgemental of self
• workaholic
• attracting partners with a low self esteem
• fearful of expressing deeper emotions

My question to you … what would you do today if you knew you couldn't fail? Go and do that! If you’re not and you need some help, consider kinesiology and give me a call.

"I am thoroughly grateful for the friendship, love and support I receive within each and every session I share with Chris. At times I have struggled with many personal, family, emotional, physical and spiritual challenges and Chris has provided comfort, strength and an environment where I feel I am able to honestly experience myself wholly; a place where I am able to let go, heal, understand, learn and equip myself with more tools so I am better able to face each day with positivity, joy and motivation to reach my life goals."

"I have come to believe that all illness starts as a problem on the Energy Level, a problem that may exist for many years before it manifests itself in physical disease. It appears that a generalised reduction of body energy leads to energy imbalances in particular parts of the body.

If we become aware of these energy imbalances when they first occur, we have a long grace period in which to correct them.
