What is Kinesiology therapy?
When people ask me what I do and I tell them that I am a kinesiologist or a kinesiology therapist I usually get one of the following reactions:
Scenario 1: The individual gasps as though they have just discovered a golden nugget and proceeds to tell me about how amazing their own experience with kinesiology has been.
Scenario 2: The individual does some guesswork as to what kinesiology therapy actually is … usually coming to their own conclusion that I must be some sort of movement scientist.
Scenario 3: The individual stares at me blankly as though I have just told them that I do something that sounds a little ‘makey-upy’ (I have heard these exact words).
What was most disconcerting to me was that in all three scenarios the individual often has very little idea about what kinesiology therapy is and how it works. After 7 years of practice, I have become really grateful for these reactions because I now realise that adapting my work to different understandings of my role has helped me to better understand what kinesiology therapy really does and how important my role as a kinesiologist is.
In the scheme of human evolution, kinesiology has existed for less than than the blink of an eye. Kinesiology muscle testing has only been around since the 1960’s. In the form in which it is currently practiced in conjunction with vibrational medicine it can hardly even be called established, kinesiology is still trying to find it’s feet, evidenced by the numerous courses that can be taken in kinesiology and the numerous branches that exist. Whilst this lack of solid, structured foundation makes it confusing for clients, enthusiastic students , practitioners and teachers alike.
What’s more important than what kinesiology is, is what kinesiology therapy does. It fills a void and touches on something that we are sorely missing in our collective understanding of our psychological and spiritual development. It is one of only a few emerging therapies that is able to bypass the conscious mind and delve straight into the subconscious to provide a detailed description of the causes of our negative behaviours, thoughts and ailments.
In expanding my skills by becoming a fully qualified counsellor over the past years I have grown to appreciate kinesiology as a much more effective and powerful therapy to create change in a person’s life. My counselling skills are put to good use when discussing a clients reaction to the information that has been excavated from the subconscious. The real work however, is done best on a subconscious, vibrational level, and the more I understand that, the more I see how kinesiology therapy is the type of progressive work we need to be incorporating more into our lives in order to help us evolve emotionally and spiritually.
My self-defined definition of the work that I do is to help human consciousness evolve so that we as conscious beings can become more attuned to spirit. Each time I work with a client using kinesiology therapy techniques I know that I am making a contribution to that purpose by making fine alterations to the etheric pattern we are all connected to. As my clients move forward free from the patterns that hold them back and allow their spirits to shine they effect others and so we all take a step forward. To know that the work I do has this effect (even if it’s taking place slowly) is incredibly fulfilling and affirming, and that is why I love what I do!
