TOUCH FOR HEALTH – KINESIOLOGY

Touch for Health is an holistic, effective yet simple method of balancing and restoring the body’s energies. It was derived from Kinesiology by Dr John Thie, a chiropractor, in 1970, whose aim was “to empower people to promote and maintain health in themselves and their families” (Touch for Health workbook, page 8). It is a non-invasive method of working which enables the client to work at their own level during the session and use easy techniques at home for growth work.

As with Kinesiology, Touch for Health (TFH) uses muscle testing to determine the priority areas in which to work. These are the physical/structural, emotional/mental or chemical/nutritional areas of the body and mind and they need to be in balance with each other to achieve optimal health and wellbeing.

WHAT IS MUSCLE TESTING?

Muscle testing was discovered by Dr George Goodheart, DC, founder of applied kinesiology in 1964 and further developed by his colleague Dr Alan Beardall, DC, and is widely used in many branches of kinesiology. Dr Paul Dennison, founder of Educational Kinesiology, initially trained as a TFH Instructor and used the techniques to help people with dyslexia and other learning difficulties. This led him to discover the concept of repatterning, so crucial in reorganising brain patterns.

• Muscle testing is a way of noticing what is happening in your body and uses a muscle response to do this, to find out about the flow of energy through the muscles.

• It is achieved by applying light pressure on a muscle in your arm or leg and noticing whether the muscle is switched on and locks (stays firm and holds its position) or is switched off and unlocks (becomes yielding and cannot hold its position).

• It is a way of comparing what we know, when the muscle is on and locks, to what we need to find out, when the muscle is off and unlocks. It is not about the strength or weakness of a muscle.

• It is a measure of brain response; there is a connection from your muscle to the central nervous system. It reinforces the link between your brain and the subtle energies in your body and accesses information in your subconscious.

• It provides instant feedback both to you and the Consultant regarding integrated or stressful areas, enabling the most efficient treatment to be applied.

WHAT HAPPENS IN A TOUCH FOR HEALTH TREATMENT?

Following a detailed discussion outlining your reason for the consultation, we would determine the cause of the present imbalance and set a focus for the session. This may be physical such as migraine headaches, poor posture, back or neck problems; it may be emotional or mental such as fears, phobias, stress or learning difficulties; it may be biochemical such as food intolerances or allergic reactions. By using muscle testing as described above, your body will know exactly which area to pursue and which techniques to use.

For example a light touch on various parts of the head or body; massage on specific points on the body; lengthening or shortening muscles; holding acupressure points and so on, to balance and restore energy, reduce pain, stress and tension and bring the body back into balance.

A typical session would last for about an hour. Most people would notice improvement after just one session but in order to resolve deeper issues, at least 3-6 sessions would be advisable. Wear loose, comfortable clothing for the treatment. People of all ages are able to benefit from this treatment from babies and children to adults and the elderly. And you don’t have to be ill to improve your well-being! Having regular treatments will increase your energy and vitality, reduce your stress levels, find and clear underlying causes of energy blocks and imbalances, heal traumas and generally enhance your life.

STRESS RELEASE

Stress Release is a safe and reliable way of getting in touch with your anxieties, fears, phobias and defeating behaviours using muscle testing and body awareness and enables you to release them by using a variety of techniques. Dr Wayne Topping, who is an International speaker and presents at Workshops, Seminars and Kinesiology gatherings, has developed this system from Touch for Health and Biokinesiology in order to put stress busting techniques at our finger tips!

You may have one or more negative emotion stuck inside you such as anger, deep sadness, grief, guilt, rage, and so on. These stuck emotions, with their origins buried deeply in the past, are still active in the subconscious. They affect your present and future life in some emotional, physical or mental capacity. This may be through a phobia, a compulsive or obsessive behaviour, anxiety or panic attacks, addictions, depression or an illness.

HOW CAN I RELEASE THESE NEGATIVE EMOTIONS?

Using muscle testing we would find the current area of stress in your life which needs addressing and use the most appropriate technique for you. Any of the following techniques may be used to access and release the stress in your system:

• Emotional Stress Release
• Brain Integration
• The Temporal Tap
• Meridian Tapping
• Anchoring
• Reactions to Extinction
• Testing for food and environmental sensitivities
• Physical corrections
• Releasing stuck energy.

Dr Topping’s main aim is that the work is simple and once you have been shown the techniques you will be able to use them for your own development and healing at home. Stress Release is, however, extremely effective and once you have begun the work, you and your family will notice changes which will have a profound effect on your whole life.
