Kinesi - what?
Kinesiology and Suppressions
Kinesiology and Hostility instead of
Enthusiasm
Kinesi - what?
Your body moves - constantly
"Kinesiology"
means the study of movement. By studying how the movement of your
muscles changes in relation to problems that you have and then further
changes in the movement in relation to the new options the
kinesiologist offers your body, we re-educate the mind and body.
Your subconscious is triggered - constantly
Your entire
body remembers your entire existence. Neuroscience is discovering that
the mysterious thing called the "subconscious" is actually inside and
around every single cell of your body - the brain included. Connective
tissue joins cells to each other and to themselves. That's where the
subconscious is. So everytime your body moves, e.g. stands, blinks,
digests, pumps blood, breathes, stretches, sleeps, all those cellular
memories (your subconscious) affects how those movements take place.
The body talks from the subconscious - and the subconscious is finally heard
So
kinesiology uses these movements to find out what those cellular
memories are that are adversely affecting you in any aspect of your
life and finds ways to re-educate those cells. New options mean new
ways of doing things on a cellular level. Suddenly there are no more
palpitations, fits of fury, depression, spastic colon, arthritis, and
the list goes on into infinity.
With unwanted memories out of the way - the body does its job better
The cells
creating the problems have memories stored in and around them that the
kinesiologist accesses through the movements of your body, so your body
can release those memories and their unwanted consequences so your body
can regenerate itself appropriately.
Let your body do the talking
Who could
possibly know you better than your own body? That's why kinesiology
works. Its not about the therapist, its about your body, your story,
your cellular memories, your solutions.
Kinesiology and Suppressions
Our lives are
full of suppressions. From very early in life we start to learn to suppress or
deny emotions that seem wrong or inappropriate.
These
suppressions and denials create programs in the brain telling us how to deal
with any situation that triggers those same “inappropriate” emotions.
An example of
such an emotion might be rage. As children, most people are taught that rage is
not okay to feel or express and in many cases, the way we learn this lesson is
through punishment, whether a physical smack or emotional punishment.
This creates the
program in the brain that tells the person that anytime they experience rage
later in life, they must suppress it because it is not appropriate.
The brain's
program also triggers off all the body responses that were associated with
whatever punishment was received as a child. This can mean that the adrenals go
into a flight or fight response, that the person immediately replaces the
suppressed rage with feelings of rejection, or the person might feel that they
cannot love or be loved as long as they experience rage.
All the body's
energy that goes into all these associated states is energy that takes away from
your life-force and vitality in your overall life.
Due to the
nature of suppression it is often tricky to tell on a conscious level that they
are there. This means that we have to look out for the trademark symptoms of
suppressions.
One of these
symptoms is road-rage. Road-rage is a great big red flag warning you that you
are under the influence of suppression! Another symptom is non-specific fears,
there just always seems to be something to worry about. And, another red flag
for suppression is when you find that you get emotional at things that seem
silly e.g. tv ads. On a physical level, suppression often shows in fatigue,
back-pain and a non-specific sense that you are just not as well as you could
be.
These red-flags
are all indications that your energy is being directed into suppressions and
needs to be re-routed.
Most people have
suppressions in some or all parts of life: relationships, self-worth, finances,
career, spirituality, and health which all take away from the vitality we could
have for creating balance and the best lives for ourselves.
So the question
is: what do we do about these suppressions?
Kinesiology!
Using the tools
of kinesiology, we can identify what suppression are occurring in your life and
we can empower the body to release those suppression in an appropriate way. This
means that all the energy that has been trapped into cycles of suppression in
your brain, will be released into the areas of your life where you want more
vitality.
Why live with
suppressions when there is a quick and efficient way to release all that trapped
energy back into your life-force.
Kinesiology and Hostility instead of
Enthusiasm
Hostility is a broad category of emotion that can include
emotions such as: trapped, picked-on, put-upon, frustrated, deprived,
sarcastic and with-holding. Any situation that has a feeling of one of
these emotions will have aspects of the others also.
For
example, if we are feeling trapped in an unhappy work
situation because we have bills to pay, there will also be some element of
feeling picked-on, whether by the world or by an individual at the work-place,
there will also be an aspect of deprived, e.g. "why can't I just win the
Lotto?", an aspect of with-holding, e.g. "if I have to do work I don't like then
why should I be in a good mood and make other people feel
good?"
Another
example where hostility is an issue is in relationships. Often hostility
builds up in relationships and starts to build walls between the people in the
relationship. E.g. "Why should I give him what he wants if I am not
getting what I want?" "Why should I help out around the house when I have
worked hard all day?" "How can I be giving and supportive if you are not
responding to my needs?" Hostility leads to lines being drawn and
opposition.
Hostility is an emotional category that we tend to frown
on. We feel that's it is not ok to feel hostile but the fact of the matter
is that it is a very common emotion and we should feel comfortable to admit that
everyone feels hostility at some point about something.
Some
people live from a state of hostility based on past feelings of being picked-on,
or put-upon, or deprived, etc and this state becomes a self-fulfilling
prophecy. "Everyone is just out to get what they can from me so I won't
give them anything!" This leads to no free exchange between people which
means that others will not want to give to you, which simply leads to
further hostility. What a mess!
The
other side of hostile is enthusiasm. Enthusiasm includes:
amused, jubilant, admirable, attractive, delighted, excited, alive and
trusting.
If we
can resolve feelings of hostility then the positive energy of
enthusiasm can kick in! Once we stop directing all our attention to
the things we are deprived of, we can notice what we already have and can
delight in them. Once we are delighting in what we already have, then we
can feel excited and alive about them. This makes others feel excited also
which leads to a more positive flow of attitude and
energy.
Think
about a teenager, who resents having to help out around the house and feels
put-upon for having to do so. Then think about the enthusiastic child who
wants to chare in whatever is going on whether its cleaning up or cooking or
games. Which is more pleasant to be around? Which is more likely to
make you want to give the child that DVD, toy or shirt they want.
Naturally the enthusiastic one. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy of
the best sort. So which attitude is more likely to get you the new job,
the better relationship, the promotion or just the better
day?
Sometimes it is difficult to make the switch from
hostility to enthusiasm - in fact, its pretty normal to find it difficult to
switch. Hostility is usually grounded in a situation or circumstance that
seems to justify the hostile state and this is where kinesiology comes in.
By allowing the mind-body connection to acknowledge hostility and its
roots, the mind-body can let go of it and make room for the desired state of
mind. You have to admit that the pink elephant is in the room before you
can usher it out. Without engaging the full mind-body to
clear hostility, chances are, you are gong to have to keep fighting seeds
of hostility and have to self-talk into enthusiasm a lot more. Its a
lot easier to be enthusiastic if it is coming from a deep mind-body
level.
So
which emotional state are you operating from in: work, finance,
relationships, family matters, health, love, spirituality? Which would you
rather be operating from? What are you going to do to get
there?
Is your
hostility rejecting the life you want or is your enthusiasm drawing it towards
yourself?
