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

The solution to illness is often not where you think it is
I've been busy rewriting the Foundation Course manuals with the help of Nora Zimerman Design Studio. Going through the manuals with a fine tooth comb is a huge job, but one great thing to come out of it (other than having completely up-to-date and great looking manuals) is how interlinked the body is and in ways that science has not caught up with yet. The solution to illness is often not where you think it is. Do you have random symptoms that Doctors can't work out? So many people go to … [Read more...] about The solution to illness is often not where you think it is

The Importance Of Emotional Well-Being
Why are we obsessed with having more? I have seen emotional well-being take a dramatic nosedive over my career, particularly with young people. Life is faster than ever, pressured, overloaded, with constant noise and stimulation which can be overwhelming. Does it lead to inner happiness? The obsession with having more and more stuff NOW! Together with the 'all about me' attitude, which often starts from a very young age. Does not, in my opinion, lead to inner peace and 'real' happiness. … [Read more...] about The Importance Of Emotional Well-Being

Kinesiology and the emotional body
Clearing emotional issues for balanced health It has often come to my attention how many of us separate our heads, minds and emotions from our bodies. Even those who 'know' they are totally entwined can often forget and overlook this truth. When dealing with and clearing emotional issues, we need to remember that emotions can and do get trapped in the cells of our body. Within Kinesiology we work on the emotions that are relevant to the weak muscle, organ or system which is incredibly … [Read more...] about Kinesiology and the emotional body
