What to expect at a session
A first session generally takes approx 1hrs.
It will begin with an in depth assessment of your condition and general health. This will include sleeping patterns, Diet and lifestyle and energy levels. You will then be asked to remove your shoes and lie on the therapy couch. A muscle (generally in the arm or leg) is then used to check responses (sometimes to verbal questioning). This is a painless procedure.
Depending on the priority issue (which may not be the presenting condition) a number of procedures may be carried out.
These include:
- Chakra Balancing
- Structural alignment
- Meridian Massage
- Colour or sound balance
- Muscle balance
- Emotional Diffusion
- Past trauma Diffusion
- Emotional Stress Release
A Flower essence consultation will generally last 30 to 45 mins.
During the session, you will be asked to discuss your reasons for attending and any issues which may relate to your problem.
A consultation gives you the freedom to express yourself and your feelings in a confidential and non judgemental environment.
At the end of the session, your therapist will have identified a number of essences to address your problems and together you will choose the correct combination of remedies for YOU. These remedies are then added to mixing bottle and topped up with spring water and a drop of brandy.
Each bottle last 2 to 3 weeks
How many sessions do I need?
This is dependant on the person and the condition. Whilst allergy testing and some pain conditions may only take one session, candida or emotional issues may take many sessions. Each person and their issues are unique. Many people choose to have a Kinesiology session every 4 to 6 weeks for stress management or as a preventative measure.
Bach flower consultations generally need at least 3 sessions depending on the issues.
At the first session each client is given a book on the Bach remedies which will help them to choose remedies for themselves and their families.
Do I have to remove any clothing?
The only clothing you have to remove for kinesiology is your shoes and any bulky outdoor clothing. All sessions are carried out fully clothed.
Do you need to take blood for allergy and nutritional testing?
No, all allergy and nutritional testing is non invasive and conducted through muscle testing.
Are your treatments suitable for children?
Yes and No, Children's muscles can tire very easily and if the are very young it is hard for them to "hold" against pressure on the muscle. However a suitable adult (parent or friend) can be used as a surrogate for balancing during a kinesiology session
Flower essences are suitable for all ages from babies to the elderly.
In fact flower essences are used worldwide to help children deal with stresses such as nightmares, teething, starting school, shyness and confidence issues, puberty, exams and issues with bullying (for both the bully and the bullied)
For a Flower Essence consultation parents can explain the emotions of the child or they can be a surrogate for testing.
Can I take a Flower Essence if I don't take alcohol?
Most Flower Essences are preserved in brandy. However by the time they are diluted to client level the alcohol levels are minute. (Bach Flowers are 2 drops of each stock remedy to 30mls of water) If this is still of some concern remedies can be added to a base cream (these can be bought at all good health shops) and applied externally.
Can I suffer after-effects or a "healing crisis" after a session?
After a therapy session or while using a flower essence the healing process begins and this may result in a number of symptoms. You may experience mild to severe reactions and emotional ups and downs. These symptoms are perfectly normal and generally last between 2 and 10 days. The body begins to eliminate toxins and you may experience the following physical symptoms:
Skin problems, nausea, headache, sleepiness, fatigue, constipation, diarrhoea, head or chest cold, ear infections, boils, increased urination or any other way the body uses to loosen and eliminate including crying. These are the body’s way of re-adjusting. During this time you should increase your fluid intake and rest when your body needs it.
Bush Flower Essences:
Bush essences should be taken twice daily (unless otherwise advised) 7 drops under the tongue morning and night. Each bottle contains a two-week to three-week dose. They can also be added to a bath (7 drops) with the exception of Green essence unless advised.
Bach Flower Essences:
Bach essences should be taken a minimum of 4 drops 4 times a day.
They can be added to the bath, to a drink (hot or cold) and sipped throughout the day or on the tongue.
