Blog post by Claire Muller, TASK Principal What I have observed within my career as a Systematic Kinesiologist is that as adults we spend so much time looking after everyone else’s needs, whether it be at home for the family or at work with colleagues/bosses or both, we forget and or don’t have time to look after ourselves. One of the benefits of having a Systematic Kinesiology session is that we have time to think about ourselves and our lives in new ways and on a deeper level. We can … [Read more...] about Self Care using Systematic Kinesiology

Planning for Joy with Kinesiology
A guest blog post written by Simon Lawton (Edited by TASK). Joy is arguably the most important emotion when it comes to maintaining our wellbeing. The most common emotional stressor that I see among my clients is the absence of joy in their lives. This lack of joy affects more circuits or systems within our body than any other emotional stressor. Treating the whole body rather than just the 'symptoms' One of the many strengths of Kinesiology is that we consider the whole body when … [Read more...] about Planning for Joy with Kinesiology
Balance your Chakras for Improved Wellbeing
Our energy is made up of many different types and layers, with central vortexes of energy called Chakras (which translates as, wheel). The Chakras are part of our energy body and are situated from the top of our heads to the bottom of our torso. There are 7 main chakras, however, there are also minor chakras at every joint. These internal and external energies are interconnected and support each other to maintain balance within our physical body. If something is out of balance in the … [Read more...] about Balance your Chakras for Improved Wellbeing
The Importance of Hydrated Mucus Membranes to Health
As I was sitting in 26 degrees out in the middle of the East Sussex countryside and experiencing a few nose/throat tickles and sneezes I was reminded of the importance of hydrated mucus membranes to health (in class I call mucus membrane, wet tissue). I immediately got up and drank a pint of water, took an omega 3 oil and a 30ml shot of Zambroza (Antioxidant drink full of beta carotene which is the precursor to Vitamin A and other carotenoids too) and the mild symptoms I had immediately … [Read more...] about The Importance of Hydrated Mucus Membranes to Health

Kinesiology for Fibromyalgia
I often get asked "can kinesiology work for fibromyalgia?" When I first began my career over 3 decades ago fibromyalgia was not a named illness, although clients did come presenting with the same symptoms. I feel it has been around a long time, however over the last decade the number of cases have sky rocketed. Fibromyalgia is a named condition which causes symptoms such as: pain all over the body, disrupted sleep, fatigue (often with brain fog), mind set and emotional ill health. … [Read more...] about Kinesiology for Fibromyalgia
The Dangers of Toxic Positivity
A guest post re the dangers of toxic positivity written by Antonia Beamish (edited by TASK) Positivity can be passive, disingenuous and dangerous. Not words you expect to hear from a complementary therapist who works with clients on their emotional wellbeing? Well, this isn’t the whole story. Positivity has its place, but in the last year or so I’ve seen it slide into a toxic place that has at times sugarcoated reality, disengaged us from our truth and invalidated our feelings thus leading to … [Read more...] about The Dangers of Toxic Positivity
7 tips to stay healthy this winter
Autumn is here - although let’s not let our health fall. I was out running this morning and although we are still having beautiful sunshine filled days, the weather is turning and there was a nip in the air which actually felt lovely. It reminded me of cosying up in front of the fire, good films, family roast dinners and how the colder weather helps to keep nature in balance. As the season changes so do our bodies. We need warm food, root veggies, stews and soups to give our bodies the right … [Read more...] about 7 tips to stay healthy this winter
Kinesiology is Gentle, Supportive, Positive Change
A guest blog post about Change and Kinesiology written by Marzia Caldirola (Edited by TASK). Change had always been a very hard for me. I grew up in Northern Italy, where change was culturally considered to be something that only the wealthy, or foolish middle class people with no clear direction in life, could afford. My back pain was finally cured! Despite this, I made my first step towards change without knowing where it would lead me. Unsatisfied with my job at the time, I decided … [Read more...] about Kinesiology is Gentle, Supportive, Positive Change
4 Foods to avoid for optimal health
I have noticed over the years of running my Kinesiology practice that more people than before are suffering from food sensitivities. As a rule of thumb, we find that there are 4 foods to avoid for optimal health. Food sensitivities Sensitivities to food are often confused with allergies. A food sensitivity is when we eat a food that takes more energy to digest than it gives us. Leaving us with a deficiency of energy that can build up. We often don’t know what foods we are sensitive to as … [Read more...] about 4 Foods to avoid for optimal health

Life-force Energy and Chakras
What is the life force that gives us innate healing? With our lives being so busy how often do we stop to appreciate our internal energy, innate healing and lifeforce? If we get a paper cut it magically heals without us ‘doing’ anything. We can just take this for granted, BUT, it is actually miraculous - just like Harry Potter's ‘repairiosum’ spell! But what is the life force that gives us this innate healing, this breath of life and keeps us alive? Although we rely on this 'energy' entering our … [Read more...] about Life-force Energy and Chakras
TASK – Leading the way since 1985
Talking to my Dad (Brian Butler) recently we were discussing the origins and importance of keeping Systematic Kinesiology pure, yet at the same time, continually moving forward as we lead the way with SK.
