🌿 Want a simple way to shift your energy back into flow this month?

Our Balance of the Month is the Gratitude Balance - a gentle, heart-expanding practice that moves the body out of stress and back into flow.

Try this mini reset anytime you feel scattered or heavy:
1️⃣ Think of three things you’re genuinely grateful for - big or small.
2️⃣ Place one hand on your heart and trace a sideways figure eight (∞) in front of your chest with the other hand.
3️⃣ Breathe in gratitude… and exhale any heaviness.

A beautiful way to align your energy during the festive season.

Save this practice for later - your nervous system will thank you.

Nourish Your Fire: Foods, Signs & Kinesiology Support 🔥

If your inner Fire feels “too much” or “not enough” this summer… your meridians are speaking.

In TCM and kinesiology, the Fire Element governs joy, warmth, enthusiasm, expression, and emotional connection.

But like any flame, it can burn too hot — or flicker too low.

Here’s how to support your Fire this season:
🔥 Yin & Yang Fire Responses
Yin Excess: emotional heaviness, oversensitivity.
Yin Deficiency: restlessness, insomnia, feeling hot at night.
Yang Excess: irritation, inflammation, rapid speech, agitation.
Yang Deficiency: fatigue, cold limbs, low motivation.

Kinesiology helps determine where your Fire imbalance sits - giving you personalised, gentle ways to realign.

🍉 Foods to Support the Fire Element
Choose cooling, hydrating, heart-soothing foods such as:
• watermelon, oranges, strawberries
• leafy greens, cucumber, celery
• mint, basil, coriander
• adzuki beans
• bitter greens (rocket, kale, dandelion)
• hibiscus or peppermint tea

And go lighter on: alcohol, greasy/heavy foods, excessive spice, caffeine — all of which add unnecessary internal heat.

✨ Why Balance Fire With Kinesiology?
A Fire-focused session can help you:
• calm the mind + improve sleep
• relieve emotional overwhelm
• strengthen your boundaries
• support circulation + digestion
• reconnect with joy + purpose
• restore nervous system balance
• feel lighter, clearer, and more centred
If your inner flame needs tending, this is the season to listen.

Ready to feel steady, joyful, and connected again?

Today is officially the first day of Summer 🌞 here in New Zealand. In TCM this relates to the season of Fire - radiant, expansive, joyful & sometimes overwhelming. 🔥

As the heart of the Fire season unfolds, we’re invited to tune into the vibrant energy that shapes this time of year.

Drawing on the wisdom of Five Element philosophy in TraditionalChineseMedicine, the Fire Element speaks to how we connect, express, feel joy, and experience emotional warmth. We explore this a d the metaphors of the Fire Element in level 4 of Touch for Health Kinesiology.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Fire is expressed through four meridians, each revealing a different facet of our emotional and energetic landscape:

❤️ Heart (Yin) – The Emperor
Governs Shen (consciousness), sleep, emotional stability, and communication.
Balanced: calm mind, warm presence, steady sleep.
Out of balance: anxiety, insomnia, scattered thoughts.

🍝 Small Intestine (Yang) – The Sorter
Helps us “separate pure from impure” — physically, emotionally, mentally.
Balanced: clarity + good decision-making.
Out of balance: confusion, overwhelm.

🛡️ Pericardium (Yin) – The Heart Protector
Supports intimacy, boundaries, emotional safety.

🔥 Triple Warmer / San Jiao (Yang) – The Regulator
Manages the body’s temperature, metabolism, and stress response.

When these meridians flow freely, we experience joy, clarity, confidence, and deeper connection.

When they’re stressed, we feel scattered, overheated, depleted, or emotionally fragile.

Summer asks us to notice:
🔥 “Where is my inner fire today? Too bright? Too dim? Or beautifully steady?” 🔥

Feeling the heat - or the burnout? Book a kinesiology balance to support your Fire meridians and restore emotional clarity and calm with on of our certified Kinesiologists via aha.org.nz

Check in later this week to explore how to balance the fire Element 💧 🍉 😉

“As the year speeds up, your energy is quietly asking you to slow down.” 🌿

November often brings a beautiful mix of energy - inspiration, momentum, creativity… and sometimes a little rush as we approach the year’s end.

Amid all that fullness, it becomes even more important to find moments of stillness, grounding, and reconnection to your centre.

This month at the Academy of Healing Arts, we’re focusing on flow:
✨ Allowing energy to move with ease
✨ Releasing what feels heavy or stale
✨ Softening into clarity
✨ Making space for lightness before the year closes

Kinesiology is one of the most powerful tools for restoring that natural flow.

It supports the nervous system, clears emotional congestion, and helps the body return to its balanced rhythm - especially during busy or transitional seasons.

If you’re feeling the end of year / pre-xmas rush, know this: Your energy doesn’t need to match the pace of the world... You’re allowed to slow, soften, and reset. 💫

Looking for support?
Find a specialised kinesiologist near you at aha.org.nz and gently realign your energy for the month ahead.

🛡️ Support immune response
💛 Reduce stress
🌿 Help rebalance emotions
🧠 Improve focus + clarity

It’s simple:
Use your fingertips to tap the centre of your chest while breathing slow and deep.

🌿 “When you learn kinesiology, you learn a new language - the language of the body.”

Kinesiology training isn’t just about techniques - it’s about understanding how the body communicates through muscle response, emotions, energy, posture, breath, and subtle shifts.

It teaches you to:
✨ Listen deeply
✨ Decode stress patterns
✨ Support healing holistically
✨ See the whole person, not just the symptom

Learning kinesiology changes how you see the world - and yourself.
It’s a skill, a toolkit, a passion, and a lifelong journey of growth.

Thinking about learning kinesiology? Send me a message and I’ll point you in the right direction.

“If your body could choose a colour for calm today… it might choose blue.”

Blue is the colour that helps your whole system exhale... It supports emotional cooling, clearer (self-)expression, steady breathing, and a calmer mind.

If you're feeling overloaded, overstimulated, or holding your breath without realising… 💙 Blue gently whispers: “Slow down. You’re safe. Soften here.”

Bring blue into your day through clothing, environments, crystals, water, sky gazing, or colour-visualisation. Or book a session with one of our qualified Colour for Life Consultants.

Your nervous system responds beautifully to this frequency.

Save this for the next day you need to calm your inner storm or communicate more clearly 💙

What shade of blue are you drawn to today?

Feeling foggy or flat? Try this 20-second energy switch ⚡

This simple Kinesiology technique never fails - the K27 reset.

The K27 acupressure points sit just under your collarbones and connect to your kidney meridian - supporting clarity, energy, and brain integration.

Variation: Place one hand on your naval and rub the K27 points with your other hand, switch hands after 15-20 sec for another round.
Bonus - trace your eyes side to side ;)

When you rub these points firmly for 20–30 seconds, you:
• instantly improve energy flow
• strengthen meridian circuits
• boost focus + concentration
• reset your brain after stress
• reduce overwhelm
• help the body integrate left-right brain signals

It’s the fastest way to “switch yourself back on” - anytime, anywhere.

Every muscle test is a conversation with your inner wisdom - a clear, honest moment where the body reveals what the mind may overlook.

Through gentle pressure and subtle responses, kinesiology shows us where stress is held, what the body needs, and how balance can be restored.

It’s not about guessing nor woowoo; it’s about listening deeply to the intelligence within.

Your body knows and a Kinesiologist supports you to re-connect to yourself and follow your body's cues to health and wellbeing!

Every colour holds a doorway to an emotion waiting to be understood - an invitation to pause, notice, and reconnect with the parts of yourself you’ve tucked away.

When you’re drawn to a colour, it’s not random. It’s your inner world reaching out, asking for expression, healing, or balance. Colour is the bridge between what you feel and what you’re ready to transform.

Colour Therapy is more than aesthetics - it’s a vibrational language.

Each colour carries a specific frequency that interacts with the body’s chakras, meridians, emotions and nervous & endocrine system.

Colour can help you:
• shift mood and emotional states
• calm or energise the nervous system
• soften trauma responses
• support clarity and groundedness
• enhance healing and self-awareness

Whether used through light, visualisation, fabrics, oils, or kinesiology balances - colour is one of the most powerful tools we have for energetic alignment.

If you’ve ever been drawn to a colour “for no reason,” your body already knows this work.

Interested to learn colour therapy as a vibrational balancing tool for yourself, family and friends? Or add to your toolkit as an already established bodyworker? Get on touch and let's chat!
