Understanding Energy
The Chinese call it Chi, the Japanese Ki, Indian yogis call it Kundalini, in India they call it Prana, some call it your life force. Our life force energy comes from the air we breath and the food we eat. Throughout history energy healing modalities have existed for our energy that flows throughout the body’s meridians, chakras and organs that is responsible for maintaining optimal health.
When parts of the energy system break down and they don’t get the vital chi that they need, or they accumulate too much over activity, stress, emotional distress or even pain the system begins to fail.

Touch for Health Kinesiology is holistic, the approach looks beyond symptoms and does not diagnose or treat disease. In fact the most important thing about Touch for Health is it is wellness-oriented! In addition to a conversation that identifies what you would like to focus on, we use muscle testing, sometimes referred to as Acupressure (applying pressure to muscles and examining their resistance to force), to first determine imbalances and blockages in the bodies energy flow and then corrections are applied to restore balance and flow of energy. The process itself is fun and interactive and is dependent on your direct participation.

When an imbalance is found in the flow of energy we have different balancing techniques that we can use.
A few of the corrections include:
- Tracing the Meridians: With an open palm the hand traces above the body in the direction of the meridian.
- Neurolymphatic Massage Points: Reflex points that are part of the lymphatic system that are rubbed with firm pressure on the front and back of the body for a short time
- Neurovascular Holding Points: With very light pressure, points are held on the head for a short time.
- Spinal Vertebrae Reflex Technique: Reflexes located over the spine that are rubbed in an up and down the vertebrae.
All of the techniques that are used are intended to reduce stress in the body and restore the natural flow of energy.
How will I feel after a Touch for Health Kinesiology energy balance?
Often you feel more energized, and at ease. Stress and pain you may have been feeling coming into your balance may be reduced or gone in the days following your visit. While we often feel better right after a session, we continue to feel even better in the days to come.
You’re encouraged to take note of what you focused on during your visit and to pay attention as you have interactions with others. Are you seeing benefits and changes in your reactions or feelings, how is your goal developed during your session playing out in day to day life? Sometimes we leave a visit and don’t think again about what we came for, interestingly it sometimes feels like what we came for is now just gone.
