Kinesiology

What is Kinesiology?

Kinesiology creates inner balance and is all about supporting you to be at your best via stress & energy management. This invariably flows on to relationships and performance as nothing goes or works as well when you’re stressed, depleted or dysregulated, including your health.  Kinesiology fuses eastern and western science and principles and looks to examine and rebalance the reciprocal influences of thoughts, emotions, behaviour and physiology on your life.

When in a survival state, it’s much harder to function optimally and for a sustained period. This can create challenging situations, memories you may prefer not to have and can be a silent drain on overall health. When overwhelmed or depleted, all of the following can head south and create its own cascades:

  • Self-awareness

  • Emotional intelligence

  • Learning

  • Adaptability

  • Reasoning and Clarity

  • Resilience

  • Organisation

  • Communication

  • Warmth & Compassion

  • Decision Making

  • Problem Solving

  • Energy

  • Social skills

  • Focus

  • Emotional, Mental, Physical and Spiritual Health

Whilst some forms of stress are healthy and beneficial (e.g., growth), if we over-extend the energy or resilience bank account, Kinesiology can be your partner in preparing, recovering, or shifting and resetting from stress. Whilst many arrive at Kinesiology through the burn out or overwhelm front door, many clever clients stay due to the many experienced benefits of getting in front of stress, since cultivating inner balance & wellness is a daily practice, that has levels. In the modern world when stress management has gone off the rails, the costs can be high. If you add in random other challenges such as bullying, grief, an odd colleague or change, it sometimes doesn’t take much for the next conversation to be a straw that breaks the camels back.

In Kinesiology we use symptoms in the mind, physiology and life to balance patterns that are causing stress and anxiety. Fear can be a big driver of performance, life and relationship challenges and this might be noticeable as excess or inappropriate fight or flight reflexes, freeze responses or generally feeling unsafe or tense with others, even if the company is “safe”. In addressing fear, Kinesiology focuses on how the subconscious mind processes and integrates information, expectations & experiences, which can at times become distorted. Whilst its is normal for the subconscious mind and the nervous system to be most concerned with protection and survival, it’s not necessarily health or helpful in how it can message events happening inside and outside of us.

When we are in survival mode, efforts to replenish energy or establish healthy habits for vitality can be like pouring water into a leaky bucket. It’s easy to overlook signals of stress as you are with yourself every day. Whilst some of below can be infection or disease related, symptoms of stress from being on high alert may include:

 

  • Racing heart

  • Shortness of breath

  • Poor digestion

  • Tight jaw

  • Low immunity

  • Anxiety or negative mood

  • Insomnia

  • Irritability

  • Anti-social

  • Blood sugar dysregulation

  • Infertility & more

How might you be overloading your stress bucket & what’s the knock on effect at work and home? Kinesiology can be suitable for some clients as a standalone modality or as a complementary or next step with other therapies.
