YOUR EMOTIONS ARE NOT WHAT YOU THINK: HOW SYSTEMATIC KINESIOLOGY BALANCES YOUR EMOTIONS ON A DEEPER LEVEL

Our brain health is intrinsic to your emotional health. Understanding how your brain governs your reactions, processes feelings and stores memories throughout your body, can help you further understand and confront your emotions.

Understanding that you are not defined by your emotions is crucial in a society quick to label emotional states as disorders. Emotions are transient responses to external stimuli, encompassing more than mere feelings; they trigger a complex interplay within our chemical, physical, and energetic realms of health, often overlooked in allopathic medicine and “holistic” healthcare.

Systematic Kinesiology works with all these realms of health in one treatment, making it the most holistic natural health practice, and that is why it is so effective.

WHAT IS SYSTEMATIC KINESIOLOGY?

Systematic Kinesiology is the science of testing muscles, which enables us to evaluate and correct the motor responses of the central nervous system to create balance within the body.

HOW DOES SYSTEMATIC KINESIOLOGY WORK?

Proprioceptor cells, spread throughout the body, send constant messages to the brain via the central nervous system. Applying light pressure to a muscle enables Kinesiologists to tap into this communication network. Stress accumulation can disrupt these pathways, leading to weakened signals. A muscle should ideally remain “locked” under light pressure, but external factors like emotional stress, can cause it to “unlock,” providing insights into the condition of health associated with the specific test.

MENTAL HEALTH

During emotional stress, the prefrontal cortex, responsible for higher cognitive functions, gives way to the limbic system, which governs emotional responses and behaviours. This system comprises the amygdala, hippocampus, basal ganglia, thalamus, and hypothalamus. When the amygdala perceives a threat, it triggers the survival response ("fight or flight"). Repeated emotional stressors reinforce conditioned emotional responses and habits stored in the hippocampus and basal ganglia. However, this can adversely impact overall health.

Emotions, thoughts, and memories resonate at varying frequencies, with negative thoughts emitting low vibrations and positive ones exuding higher frequencies. Recalling negative emotions lowers vibrational frequency, leading muscles to unlock.

“RECALLING NEGATIVE EMOTIONS LOWERS VIBRATIONAL FREQUENCY, LEADING MUSCLES TO UNLOCK.”

Kinesiologists then utilise further muscle testing to identify suitable treatment pathways, using specific emotional stress release techniques but also addressing the chemical, physical, and energetic realms of health related to the emotional stress.

CHEMICAL HEALTH

Emotional stress triggers biochemical changes initiated by the amygdala, leading to the depletion of vital nutrients essential for optimal functioning. This process involves the activation of the hypothalamus, which stimulates the endocrine system to release stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol. Prolonged stress can result in irregular blood sugar levels and disrupt gut health, impacting neurotransmitter synthesis crucial for mood regulation.

“PROLONGED STRESS CAN RESULT IN IRREGULAR BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS AND DISRUPT GUT HEALTH, IMPACTING NEUROTRANSMITTER SYNTHESIS CRUCIAL FOR MOOD REGULATION.”

When you think of an emotional stress, your muscles may unlock. However, nutritional supplementation can change this. By using muscle testing, we find the best nutrient to support the specific emotional stress that caused a muscle to unlock, transforming it into a locked state.

This personalised approach improves biochemical balance and targets specific emotional stressors, unlike generic supplement recommendations found online, in books, or standard protocols.

“TRAUMA AND EMOTIONAL STRESS IMPACT THE ENTIRE BODY”

PHYSICAL HEALTH

Trauma and emotional stress impact the entire body, not just the brain. Physically, they can raise heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing. Stress-induced muscle tension often leads to pain, with specific areas like the head, back, neck, and shoulders commonly affected. Emotional stress can manifest physiologically, such as stomach discomfort, irregular gut motility and jaw tension, with different emotions affecting distinct organs.

“EMOTIONAL STRESS CAN MANIFEST PHYSIOLOGICALLY, SUCH AS STOMACH DISCOMFORT, IRREGULAR GUT MOTILITY AND JAW TENSION, WITH DIFFERENT EMOTIONS AFFECTING DISTINCT ORGANS.”

Systematic Kinesiologists can identify areas of physical tension that hold specific emotional stress. When touching different areas of the body, the part that holds the emotional stress will cause the muscle unlocked by emotional stress to lock once again. For instance, if a patient recalls emotional stress causing a muscle to unlock, maintaining those thoughts within the body’s circuitry while touching the jaw can cause the muscle to lock again. Specialist techniques are then applied to diffuse emotional stress from the affected area, when the stress has been diffused the muscle will no longer unlock when recalling the emotional stress.

ENERGETIC HEALTH

Our subconscious stores trauma and negative emotions, significantly influencing our actions and well-being. These memories impact energy pathways in the body, such as meridians and the aura. Despite attempts to process or forget, emotional stress remains deeply embedded and can automatically resurface, driven by the immense power of the subconscious mind, which is estimated to be 30,000 times more powerful than the conscious mind.

“Despite attempts to process or forget, emotional stress remains deeply embedded and can automatically resurface, driven by the immense power of the subconscious mind, which is estimated to be 30,000 times more powerful than the conscious mind."

Through techniques like "Past Trauma Recall," Kinesiological muscle testing directly engages with the subconscious to determine the suppressed memories which first triggered the current emotional stress response, allowing the body to address the root causes of emotional stress and promote healing.

HOW DOES SYSTEMATIC KINESIOLOGY ENABLE THE BODY TO HEAL FROM EMOTIONAL STRESS AND TRAUMA?

Systematic Kinesiology enables healing from emotional stress and trauma by interacting with the central nervous system. Muscle testing serves as a valuable tool for identifying stress within the body and determining the specific approach to alleviate it, rather than relying on guesswork. Kinesiologists rebalance the body using acupoints, emotional stress release techniques, neuro-lymphatic massage, neuro-vascular points, meridian tracing, energy work, structural manipulation and much more.

WHY SYSTEMATIC KINESIOLOGY?

In conclusion, Systematic Kinesiology offers a truly holistic approach to emotional health by addressing the interconnectedness of mental, chemical, physical, and energetic imbalances. The benefits of this practice are often felt immediately, providing relief from emotional stress. Systematic Kinesiology is fast, reliable and non-intrusive, with effects and benefits that are life-changing. Through tapping into the body's innate healing potential, Systematic Kinesiology facilitates profound healing and transformation.
