Danielle offers kinesiology to assess the body’s state of well-being and to determine if there are any imbalances such as deficiencies or toxicities in the body. She offers an express ‘MOT’ Kinesiology session which covers testing for the most common problems, and sessions last approximately an hour. She also offers kinesiology as part of the Natural Health Consultation where in-depth medical history is taken and more thorough testing carried out with a view to finding the root cause of any symptoms or conditions. These sessions can last up to 2 hours.

She also offers kinesiology techniques to reveal, release and unblock trapped emotions and this is either done as part of her kinesiology sessions as required, or separately and combined with a relaxing Reiki session afterwards.

Kinesiology is the study of movement and energy. One of the main techniques used in kinesiology is muscle testing. Kinesiology has its roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine philosophy.

We are of an energetic nature, we are energy and have an auric field. There are 14 energy channels running through our bodies called meridians. Energy (also known as Ch’i) constantly flows along the meridians when we are in a balanced, healthy state. Along these meridians are the acupuncture points. In very basic terms, if you think of the energy like electricity running through wires, these acupuncture points are like ‘switches’ and when they are blocked by something that is affecting the body such as an emotion, a substance the body is intolerant to, etc. it will cause the switch to switch off, or cause the circuit to break.

Each meridian relates to an organ, along with the Triple Warmer, Central and Governing meridians. So if there is a blockage in a meridian, the relating organ will become weakened. This can happen a long time before any physical symptoms become present so testing the meridians can prevent disease in its earliest form. Each organ relates to an emotion and an element and so blockages can affect us holistically, and likewise emotions that are held on to can cause these blockages which can then spark a downward spiral of dis-ease within the body. An example being fear which is held and related to the kidneys. The kidneys will weaken, causing us to feel more fearful, but as kidneys are related to water and water destroys fire, the organ related to fire (ie the heart) will also fall out of balance. This will in turn cause more effects, you can see where it is heading!

So we can tell a lot from the meridians, symptoms, weakened organs, etc. and this is how most physical issues are caused by the emotions.

Muscle-testing
The meridians run in similar pathways to some of our muscles, and when they are blocked, the muscle it is related to becomes weak. A kinesiologist will test the strength of muscles to assess the state of health and imbalance within the body. It can also be used to test whether something is strengthening or weakening to the body by placing a substance, an essence of a substance, or a combination of substances into the aura of the client. In this way, remedies, foods, supplements and even emotions/statements/affirmations can be tested.

So we will assess the current state of health of the body by testing all the muscles to see if there are any weaknesses. If there are any weaknesses, there are various methods that can be used to bring balance back. Sometimes the Neuro-lymphatic points will be tapped or massaged, sometimes we can trace the meridian to clear blockages, or EFT may be required. Often, the imbalance is due to a mineral or vitamin deficiency, a toxicity in heavy metals, a food or substance allergy or intolerance, a parasitic infection to name a few. In any case, muscle-testing or sometimes dowsing is used to find the cause and what the body wants in order to find balance. This could be a homeopathic remedy, nutritional changes, herbal remedies, supplements, many of which will be tested at the time to find the right one.

Using muscle-testing from an emotional point of view, we can ask questions and use the muscle strength as positive and negative responses. The way this works is if anything is mentioned that there is an issue, the body will momentarily stress and cause a weak reaction. So we can really tap into the subconscious in this way to get to the root cause.
