❓Did you know that kinesiology is big in Australia, and in parts of Europe even small villages will have kinesiologists who are booked out?
💪 So what is kinesiology?
Energetic kinesiology encompasses a broad range of energetic healing or balancing techniques which are united by the use of muscle testing to ‘talk’ to the healing or energetic system.
Is it ‘better than’ other modalities…I definitely wouldn’t say that, but it is a really useful tool. Naturally, as with other modalities each person will make it their own, and their different approaches will be optimal for different people.
✊I was chatting with some colleagues the other night and we were discussing the utility of different ‘hand modes’ we sometimes use e.g .to access different parts of the brain, body or energetic system and how exact we need to be when touching different acupressure points etc. I said something along the lines of ‘surely any of these things are simply processes/procedures we use to clarify our intention when working with energy’ We did spoon bending together too 🥄!
So are the specific procedures necessary? No. Is it the only way or the best way to work with energy? Of course not, but here are some of the things I like about it:
1. It’s efficient and completely personalised: Rather than working with a standardised procedure, kinesiologists use muscle testing to cut to the chase in terms of priorities and it’s easy to rapidly scan through extensive possibilities.
2. It can be very gentle but still powerful; one of the nice things about the way I work is that we’re looking for priorities, one by one and peeling away layers of stress, so that we can work deeper into issues and traumas without ‘blowing a gasket’ so to speak.
3. It’s so holistic…different practitioners work in different ways and with different specialties, but being a ‘big picture’ person I absolutely love it: I’m interested in the micro/more ‘physical’ layer of wellbeing – cell health, biochemistry, nutrition etc. right out to the more macro/esoteric – think chakras, transduction of universal energy, your soul’s mission on earth….all that jazz.
I think perhaps there is also a ‘collective consciousness’ around modalities, rituals, prayers etc. that are repeated by many people which may make them easier to access and work with…. Think about Reiki for example…
What do you think? How do you like to work with energy and intention? 🌟
